MLB 16 Ideas!

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

The Show continues to be a great game and one I purchase every year. However there are a few things I think could go along way to making it a deeper experience.


1. Archive System - Be able to look back at previous seasons once you complete them and are further along in my franchise.


2. Baseball History / Records - Be great depth if we could see the lists of all-time hits, HRs, etc. I'm sure some legality comes into play listing of the greats. Just something that I would like to be able to see coming up and strive for, not just find out all of a sudden after its complete.


3. Baseball Player Card - This is something I think has been discussed for Show16, but not sure. I'd like to have a baseball player card much like the old 1980's bubble gum card packs. I usually try not to mention other sports titles to compare but in this case, I think NBA2K does this very well. Just would add so much to see how players progressed through their minor league careers. I usually promote players based on productions rather than their potential ratings.

Thanks again for a great game.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1) Bring back more substantial info in the Pause Screen like Hitter's Hot / Cold Zones and Pitcher's Energy / Confidence...I like a "clean screen", but I'd like to be able to access that info when needed...

2) Hot / Cold Zones that only appear in the first pitch of an AB need to appear when using Quick Counts on whatever the first pitch of that AB turns out to be...right now, it doesn't work with QC because the "first pitch" of those QC AB's are "virtual"...

3) Get rid of the R2 tab that reminds us that pitch repertoire / energy / confidence in able to be accessed...it just floats around needlessly cluttering the clean screen...

LOVE this year's iteration, so don't get me wrong...just miss the above and of course miss CLASSIC STADIUMS!

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. Stubs should not be purchasable. Diamond Dynasty teams have become stacked far too quickly and the option to buy stubs, which in turn pretty much just lets you buy the players you want, has contributed to this. It has made packs almost meaningless. You should be able to buy packs with real money and with stubs, but not buy stubs straight up. That, or have a different type of currency for buying packs and for the marketplace.

2. In practice mode, have an option to set the pitch the pitcher will throw and the exact location it will land. This will help players get used to seeing curves, sliders, etc. and how they will break and land in or out of the strike zone.

3. I really think Fielding Practice should be an option as well.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. Advanced Stats in Franchise & RTTS (Able to look back at accolades won)

2. Bring back and re-vamp stadium and marketing stuff (Ticket/food prices)

3. Have a purpose for your earnings in RTTS (Buy cars, mansions, etc)

IMO this thread is pointless every year, they really haven't listened in the past, why would they now?

My latest OS blog, an expansion of thoughts on my MLB 16 wishlist. And while it isn't a Top Three per se, I do hope Ramone and the OS community get a chance to read it and weigh in.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

Too bad the sound team couldn't get to Baltimore and got some sounds from the game. Imagine that.

1. Unplayable lower minor league teams for expanded rosters

2. New commentary team

3. Playable mascot race in Milwaukee "rest of the game is fine by me".

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

So has everyone forgotten that the jersey templates for no name jerseys are still off? Does SCEA even plan to fix this anymore? It's up there with the most annoying things about this game and its PS3 roots still.

It is hightime they cover this. They have most of the year to concentrate on PS4 version now and they are starting from a great fundamental game in 15. You honestly cannot just leave this in anymore. It looks pretty ridiculous IMO but I have faith it will one day be fixed.

Edit: well there was a call for uniform accuracy a while back. But I don't want this issue to be forgotten. We all want new unis and cloth physics but I have no idea how doable that is. They have a long time until 16 launches and I expect a very decent SDK update with PS4 in that time freeing some power or making things more efficient for the devs.

It would be nice, yes O it would be, if they would fix the Twins uni error somehow someway. Yes, our team sucks.... so here is hoping that 16 gets some uni fixes and improvements all around.

1) Make cross saves work without the need of the cloud...USB has been around forever you know?

2) Make cross saves work without the need of the cloud...USB has been around forever you know?

3) Make cross saves work without the need of the cloud...USB has been around forever you know?

...and pay no attention to 99.9% of the goofy stuff these guys come up with.

This is kind of impossible since PS3, Vita and PS4 use different save formats so Sony came up with the cross platform cloud thing for games that converts the format. It's not something specific to MLB it's that way for any game that has cross platform saves on playstation systems.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

In case Russell is tallying the votes:

1) Rain outs/double headers
2) Keep working on the ball physics (ie. balls down the lines)
3) In game highlights from other games

(1 and 2 are real, 3 is pie in the sky )

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

Carry over saves - great idea. Unfortunately it apparently requires you to enter GM mode unless you are using 30 team control. Allow all users the option for having carry over saves.

Allowing for franchise users to create or relocate a team with custom uniforms, logos, etc would be a positive development.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

After spending the last few days playing, I would like to change my suggestions...

1) From the main roster screen, allow roster management and player edits in the same field similar to how it is in Franchise Mode. Changing a player looks and then going to the management screen to move them up or down in the system creates so much unnecessary time consumption.

2) Options to be "On, Assist or Off" for base running and fielding. Having the CPU assist doesn't always present the best choices in the field nor on the base paths. I've had men on 1st slide back to the bag on clear drives to the gap where the closest fielder was at least 20 yards away. Also, the CPU doesn't allow me to take control of my fielder on foul pop ups.

3) User control of Roster management in spring training/before the season begins without wasting minor league options. Allow player to choose who to "invite to spring training" instead of adding everyone on the 40 man roster and then having the CPU choose who makes it at the start of the season. Some minor leaguers, irregardless of their rating, don't deserve to make it out of camp and onto the major league roster.


Honorable mention: Free agency

It's a mess. A player can sign a big deal (6yrs/$86m) with a team on Nov 20th and be traded on Dec 18th, this just happened to 3 players. In addition, have free agents not go to team where there is a star at their main and secondary positions. SD has Kemp & Myers, traded for McCutchen and Ellsbury AND THEN re-signed Justin Upton. Why would Upton sign with that crowded outfield? Wouldn't happen in real life.


Sorry that was long winded.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

Hi all this is pretty simple. What are your top three ideas for MLB 16 please don't put more than 3 and don't try to be clever either to get more out of your three choices. It's very simple you only get three picks what are they?

1: Stadium Creator
2: Morpheus support
3: Player Lock with normal camera (Believe that's already going to happen )

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

I want to see real stats, easily viewable and filtered. Not set my lineups based on ratings. Wouldn't it be nice to see all of the stats in-game that you see on ESPN or FOX SPORTS?

Something that I would also like to see is the camera change angles to show different perspectives on hits.

Finally, I would LOVE to see hits that go over an outfielder's head or that are homeruns into the upper deck.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. Rain Outs/Rescheduled Games


2. High A Ball added as playable/simable.


3. Negotiate Contracts during the Season.
