MLB 16 Ideas!

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1) Something I've wanted for a long time. A revamped pitcher stamina system that can be manipulated to stretch guys out if they convert from reliever to starter. Likewise, if a starter goes to the bullpen over time their stamina will reduce to where they would need stretched back out to start again. Right now the only way to change that, to my knowledge, is to go in and edit the pitcher's stamina, which to me feels like cheating, especially if it's mid-franchise. Also, with this kind of system it forces every starter to be streched out at the beginning of spring training, which makes spring training more realistic and fun to play.

2) Fix the pickoffs so that you're not picked off 50% of the time if you take a secondary lead off of first base, been an issue for at least the last 3 years.

3) Give us the ability to use our ENTIRE organizational roster in spring training games. I know some have said non-roster invitees but in spring games on any given day you can see multiple A ball players shuttled in even if they're not on the 40-man roster or a non-roster invitee. This would give us the ability to try out our minor league guys and get to know them better.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

First off love the fact that you guys even ask us what we think so I applaud you for that! Keep putting out the best sports game year in and year out! Specifically

1) create a stadium if not more generic era specific (fully enclosed ie Tiger Stadium, baseball fields/football stadiums, domes, astro turf a plenty ieThree Rivers)

2.) in season contract extensions

3) ability to edit managers stats or create a manager

4) ability to edit draft class

5) more player models (Miguel Cabrera slimmed down this year)

6) more licensed equipment

7) carry over a roster (just one)

8) love the idea of injury specific related downgrades (ie torn acl players gets slower quicker over time in some instances)

9) expansion team

10) using retired numbers (even if it is limited to a player who wore it prior to retirement think Kirk Gibson tigers 23 then retired after Gibson left for the great Willie Horton. It would be nice to let Gibson wear it in my 1987 roster set)

11) ability to edit facial hair on mlb players it changes often

12). This is my own selfish request the mid calf pants with stirrups circa mid to late 80s look think Eric Davis and Bo Jackson)

Always a huge thanks for taking the time to listen

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1.) Pitching splits. Especially for pitchers like Justin Masterson, Joe Smith, and LOOGY relievers

2.) Bring back stride hitting

3.) Dynamic franchise mode that follows along with real life rosters

Hire an outside party to provide online programming and servers. As improved as I thought it was this year, it a train wreck compared to any other online games. This is 2015 figure it out.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1: More/better stats on the player card for years prior to the current one. This should be on the PS3 as well.

2: In RTTS, bring back splits in the locker room career stats page. This should be in PS3 as well.

3: The ability to play 7 or 8 positions. I want my RTTS guy to be able to be a true IF/OF superutility player and emergency catcher.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1.Create a Stadium/Expansion ...2. More stats /career stats .3.new commentators .

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

Expansion or Create A Team to replace current team in franchise. Just export diamond dynasty for logos and have a stadium creator.

More personalization. Not everyone that has a fade has coarse hair. There needs to be more variety in beards. Add more hat options. (Tilt to the side ect). Body sliders. EARRINGS! Lol.

Editable draft class. This has been a huge thing for me.

Also..... it'd be cool if you could add my last name. I've been playing sports games for about 20 years and have never had the opportunity to hear my name in game. Lol

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. Create a Stadium and Team. NCAA baseball on PS2 had stadium creator and it was great. Customization is a big thing for me and being able to create a expansion team, customize my own unis and then customize my stadium would be great.


2. Contract incentives. What is the purpose of singing a 10 yr/ 250M contract when you cant do anything with it? Give RTTS some real life presentations and rewards. Allow us to use the money towards something and give us some player interaction. Like doing locker room interviews, talking to teammates, talking to our coach, and interacting with our GM. 2K does a great job of it with their NBA franchise


3. More licensced equipment such as New Balance, Evoshield and Adidas.


PS: Thanks for once again making the best game of the year. Y'all do it year in and year out.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

Editable draft classes. At least for the 2016 draft.

Put more focus on the rivalries of baseball and make the atmosphere more playoff like. A win (or sweep) in a rivalry series boosts team morale

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

Make spring Worth play it!!!! After the spring Player should be get re Rates by the System Based on There spring Performance and World be nike to have something like a screen in the end of Spring training with the biggest winners and loosers of Spring training Rating chances shouldn't be to much!!!! And with that dynamic Ratings throughtout the Season and at the end of the month that Info screen again. So we can have Players who have breakout Season and Players who can't fit to expactations like in real life

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

Since my original 3 are pretty popular and likely to be implemented anyway (roster carryover, stats upgrade, new commentary), here are 3 things that I haven't seen as much.

1. Replace prospect POT with both a CEILING POT and a FLOOR POT, with the lower floor prospects able to "bust".

2. Expand the radio show to comment on the upcoming draft class ala Madden. It would be nice to have some actual depth to the prospects coming out and whether they've had Tommy John Surgery or might be a difficult sign.

3. The ability to send/receive cash in trades.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1) Fix the super catcher bug

2) Rain delays

3) Enable editing of SCEA players. Allow me to make Cutch's hair a mohawk now, not dreads. Things along those lines.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1. International Free Agency (WBC)


2. Minor League Contracts with incentives and Spring training invites


3. Gameface. Similar to that of EA sports.

Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

1)improved/more realistic progression with more skewed ratings based on player type - Billy Hamilton wasn't a 65 speed guy in the minors and then develop into a speed guy over a couple years. He was always fast. But in The Show, young prospects are low rated in EVERY category for the most part. And they take years and years to become even average players. It is very hard to get guys like Albert Pujols, Mike Trout, etc. who are All-Stars at 22 and 23 years old. So allow speed guys to start out with a much higher initial speed rating, strong arm guys to start with a much higher arm strength/accuracy, etc. And for the very top A and A+ prospects, allow their initial development to happen faster, so they aren't just finally making their major league debut at 25/26 years old and only be rated a 75 still.

2) Make contracts mean something in RttS. I always just sign the lowest money contract possible since money means nothing. So that will leave more money for the team to theoretically be able to sign better players. Give me an incentive to accept an offer from a team I may not want to play for because they make the best offer.

3) Continue refining and perfecting the physics in the game for hits, fielder/baserunner speeds, throw velocities, etc. - Huge improvements in the physics area in MLB 15!! Standing ovation for that! But it seems like it could still be refined further. Still not enough hard doubles down the line compared to real life, for example.
