    Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

    - Franchise Hightlights Type Show (Maybe Also like a cut scene or picture of players holding their new team's jersey during the free agency period)
    - Better/Longer Pre and Post game presentation
    - More Player to Player Interaction during the games

      1. Ability to do complete editing of all SCEA players .... Coaches included

      2. Regression to older players needs some attention .....

      3. Would love to see more helmets coming off during sliding or batters swinging for the fences and missing ......

      Appreciate the hard work to Russell n company for your dedication to this game !!!
      And how this team works n listens to the show community to put out a great game every year !!!!

      ** Much thanks Boys **

        1) Meaningful spring training, so I don't immediately hit "Sim Spring" every year.

        2) Meaningful Winter Meetings and Trade Deadline period. A VIRTUAL space to communicate with other GMs and answer phones or send out texts or emails would be nice. In real life, these two things are major events. In the game, it's a pop-up reminder on the screen...

        3) Meaningful draft day and July 2nd signing perdiod. Again, I want a virtual draft lobby, I would love to see some presentation brought to this event as well. If a foreign player holds a showcase, I think it would be fun to PLAY as that player in the showcase, or at the very least, get a generate highlight package of the showcase with scout feedback.


        This game is very great ON the field. The thing that it lacks year after year, is exciting presentation to the other aspects off the field like the things mentioned above. This game needs a major overhaul in more immersive presentation.

          In my franchise I'm using the osfm rosters. As a result guys like Jose Fernandez, Yu etc are in the minors and I'm two months into the season and they're still there. Make cpu teams call up high level prospects or highly rated players earlier. At this point it seems like they'll never get back to the majors.

          Fix pick offs. I literally cannot take a single step off first because the pitcher is a psychic and ALWAYS attempts a pick off. I could have Bryan McCann or Mike trout and one step towards second, even after the pitcher has already looked over five times and is on the verge of throwing the pitch, and boom, pick off attempt. Obviously I'm not running with a slow guy but he'll still pick him off. It's annoying. If I'm gonna steal I can't take any lead.
          One more. Make Mike trout look like Mike trout. His face shows a minor resemblance but it's looked the same since 2012, plus, he doesn't have Brown hair.

          Also, you know certain prospects will come up once they can push their arbitration date back. Have those prospects already designed so they can put in immediately and look like themselves, have a correct stance etc. It's a simple thing but it means a lot.

                1. RUSSELL PLEASE add WAAAY more alltime MLB records including team records and different top 100 categories for things like homeruns and pitcher wins and saves so u c an see players climb to the top. Big part of baseball is records. Oh and have the real players names next to there records like u do now.

                2. Also. Utilize the mlb.com name and stats and have each player card have every year a player has played and have the teams he has played for with all his stats.

                3. Please bring back the ability to adjust ticket and consession pricing and let us put our name in as a GM nd. The ability to use the camera to use our face scanned.

                Thank you. Best game ever MLB 15

                  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.
                  All of these are great well thought out ideas. Take note, Russell!

                    1.) Ability to upload player portraits for created players and SCEA Players without portraits or after trades with new hats. (Most important) . Have been asking for this for years. LOL

                    2.) More Hair styles and facial hair styles.

                    3.) The ability to edit hair styles and facial hair styles on SCEA players.

                      I think this is great that the team is asking for our ideas. The OS community should come together and focus on three realistic things that could really help this series out.

                      1. Weather
                      - acquire the weather channel data like the NCAA college football series, weather right now is kinda weak and should have more effect on the games being played. Let's see snow in colorado.
                      2. Commentary
                      -although not horrible, it's very stale and needs a upgrade.
                      3. ESPN Licensing or branding
                      - Follow the NBA Live blueprint maybe this is a combination with the commentary, how about starting the games off with the commentating team being shown on screen.

                        Re: MLB 16 Ideas!

                        Proposal: Have the ability to declare at the beginning of an at bat (as the pitcher) that you are going to pitch around a batter. Thus eliminating the decrease in confidence if you walk the batter. Now, conversely, if you choose to pitch around a batter and then give up a homer, double, rbi.....I think then this should actually increase the hit on the pitcher's confidence. Justification: I have pitched around guys many many times.....Kinda walking him intentionally, but actually pitching to the player. Just trying to get them to chase something out of the zone......The problem with that is it can hurt your pitcher's confidence by giving up a walk. Granted, not a huge decline, but I may pitch around 3 batters in a game...ultimately walking them...This, however does take a toll on the pitcher's confidence.

                          1) Catchers framing pitches. It is a huge part of the game and something that really needs to be represented in the game, at least visually. I could even be tied into the variable umpires where catchers with high framing ratings sometimes get an extra call or two off the edge.

                          2) Custom pitch breaks. Similar to how MVP 2005 did it where you choose the pitch, velocity and then how it breaks. I'm sure The Show team can come up with realistic movement choices for each pitch given the new pitch breaks already in the game.

                          3) Realistic hit Ball-and-Ground interaction. By this I mean when a ball is hit have the ball spin interact properly with the ground (grass vs dirt). Ground balls down the line have been a dissapointment every year as they roll straight and often end up as singles when in reality they curve, slice, hit the sidewall or reach the corner. Same for liners as well, balls don't just bounce straight after they are hit. I know there is some ball physics in the game that simulates this, but IMO it doesn't go very far. I want to see hits like this or this someday in The Show. Every year the game makes improvements to the ball physics.

                            2) Shake off suggestive pitch from catcher

                              Full disclosure, I have not read through any ideas yet, so I'm going to list mine as if no one else has mentioned these yet...

                              1. Mix-and-match batting stances. For example, when trying to figure out a stance for Kris Bryant I narrowed it down to Ramiro Pena and Dilson Herrera. It would be great to combine the closed, crouched stance of Pena with the hand placement and bat movement of Herrera's stance.

                              2. Break pitching delivery selection into two fields: Windup and Stretch.

                              3. Player roles added to Edit Player. Something like...

                              Non-Prospect
                              Prospect
                              Top Prospect
                              Role Player
                              Star Player
                              Face of the Franchise

                                1. Player personalities that affect player animations and that you can control actions in between plays, i.e., a closer with a fiery personality who blows a save - you can push a button after the blown save to make the closer flip out in the dugout and knock over a water cooler or something, and the more you push the button, the more he'll flip out. Or a batter with a fiery personality who gets called out on a bs call at first - you push a button to have him argue with the ump and maybe the more you push the button the more he argues and risks getting tossed from the game. Similarly, the ability to have the manager come out and argue a play, and his animations would vary based on his personality.

                                2. many more stat overlays throughout the game, particularly franchise, with a greater emphasis on a pitcher's strikeout count throughout a game.

                                3. ability to put in the next relief pitcher during quick counts so that that pitcher will get the quick count, instead of always having to bring in the next pitcher after the quick count is already generated.
