MLB 16 Ideas!

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?

Roster import to go along w/ franchise import

more hairsyles (ie eyebrow, beard, hair) for player editor

a non symmetry option for the face editor, right now when we make a face, its the same on both side, which is not how real faces are, give us an additional option to just tweak one side of the face

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. More uniforms for each team with new uniform looks (not just a template, but dynamic looks, ie. unbutton, pullovers, etc.)

2. Create a uniform slot for each MLB team with a web-based design and import so that we can use our own design in franchise mode

3. Make SOtS work somehow for our custom music on PS4

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. Let us be able to import real MLB players from previous show games onto new title and then be able to edit there age, height and weight, service time under the edit player options.

2.Have players photos linked to mlb.com, foxsports or ESPN player profiles so when a player gets traded in real life and we want to update our own rosters and move player to correct team they have there update picture instead of the cartoon looking face.

3.Let us be able to invite a "friends" to our offline franchise to play instead of using online franchise we could have all the offline franchise stuff we dont get online and enjoy it with multiple friends. We tried share-play and just does not work.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. Retool injury system. Have variable injury prone-ness that increases with each injury. Ideally this would be separated by individual body part but I'd accept just one attribute for now.

2. A pitch tip indicator similar to MVP baseball. Show a color with the pitch to indicate if it's a fastball, breaking ball etc. Not every pitch but have the frequency tied to plate discipline and/or vision. I'm terrible at reading pitches and this would make the game a bit more enjoyable for me.

3. More stats and season related commentary. Would love to hear Matt and the guys. Step in the right direction this year but would have to see time spent revamping the commentary for Franchise players. Even a player spotlight before each game similar to RTTS spot lighting a particularly cold or hot player in either teams starting lineup.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. Not needing to worry about 40 man rosters or 30 team control when you exit spring training. Heck maybe start the game on opening day?

2. When you're batting and you hit R2 to see the pitches that have been thrown to you in the current at bat, I'd like to see you be able to hit LEFT or RIGHT to see your previous at bats that game, each one separate, to see how they've pitched you this game on the fly. MVP did it this way and it was fantastic.

3. Sounds of the Show, please find a way to make it happen.

2.) Ability to edit Base coaches

3.) Rain Delays

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. Revamped presentation- i.e. MLB 2k7 (pre game and commentary)

2. Dynamic Weather

3. Yeah, prep the code for SOTS for when SONY finally allows mp3 on the PS4.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. Carry ove rosters

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. More robust career stat tracking.
2. Quick Counts for the Show Live games.
3. Batting/Pitching interface tutorials/practice.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1) Ability to import individual players into a Season or a Franchise file after the Season or Franchise has been started. Example: if a rookie shows up in an official SCEA roster drop part way through the real world season, have the ability to import this player into our existing Season or Franchise files.

2) Some sort of change to the play-by-play commentary.

3) Some sort of incremental game play improvement to the "Manage Only Mode". MoM games have not evolved at all in the last couple of years. MoM games are actually going backwards not forwards with existing features that worked fine in previous years being completely removed from the game in this years edition.

Ok I know ... #3 will never ever happen. :/

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1) Complete minor leagues - expand on the minor league system: high a, low a, etc.

2) Rehab assignments - after a player is close to being fully healed make the player play a few games in the minors before being activated to the majors

3) Rain delays - they add lots more stragety to the game, do you leave your starter in, do you have a double-header and be forced to rest some of your players

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. Wheel plays
2. Rotating schedules for future seasons
3. Dynamic weather

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. New Player Models/Uniform Physics. At the very least we need more body types. But I would say the jerseys currently look far too stiff, I would like to see more looseness to the movement while jogging and swinging to look more free flowing similar to NBA 2k's jerseys. Unbuttoned tops and necklaces outside the jersey would be nice as well.

2. Expansion Mode. I don't think it NEEDS to have Create-A-Stadium, I'd be fine with several generic MLB size parks, similar to how you guys do the MiLB parks.

3. Expanded stat tracking. Others have mentioned this already. I just want tracking of more SABR stats like WAR, FIP, wRC+, OPS+, etc. along with the league averages in the traditional stats, and track them year to year.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1) Adding Batting Practice options before the game in franchise mode. Make it so you take, say 20 swings, depending on contact you make during the BP you can get temporary boosts to the player for that game.
You can have an option also pop up for this during the lineup screen, you know when they say 'so and so is slumping he sure could use a day off'? Have an option to 'take some extra swings in the cage' for a player who is slumping at the plate.

2} Add skill mini games to franchise so players can get boosts to ratings. Just like Training but here you actually get to do the stuff like in 2k hoops.
Examples:

- Have a 3rd baseman like chase headley field 20 grounders with throws to first, depending on how you do you can get temp boosts to skills of that area.
Or if a guy is having trouble going to the opposite field. have him take part in a skill where there r targets in left field and he has 20 swings to try to hit as many as he can and if his score hits the requirements, he gets a boost.


3) Player Roles for franchise mode like madden used to have and like 2k hoops has now.. Examples would be:

- Franchise Cornerstone. If a player has this role [i.e. jeter] a team will NEVER look to trade him as long as he has this role. The player would have to have played ten years wit that team to earn the role

- Defensive Magician. If a player has this role [i.e. Andrelton Simmons] he gives a slight awareness boost and such to the other infielders as well as boosts for himself to certain attributes.

- Mentor. As long as this player is on the roster [guys like Giambi ARod etc] As long as this player is on the roster he gives a slight boost to young players attributes in certain areas

Players can lose these roles if the attributes that go with the roles fall below a certain number, ala madden.
