    Another little thing I'd like to see that would be great is for it to look like it's actually raining when it's raining. The only time you can really tell is when they're showing wide shots of the stadium. Any other time, it looks like the batters box is under a tarp.

    I'd like to see heavier and more pronounced rain so I can actually feel like I'm playing in the rain. I want it to be harder to see the ball. I want to see rain delays. Right now, playing in the rain feels no different than overcast or cloudy.

    And what's the deal with ejections? Has anyone seen an ejection yet? I've well over 200 games played and haven't seen one yet. I would like to see them happen sometimes.
    Ejections are in the game as well. Hit 3 guys in a row and boom your gone. But there are no manager arguments so there is no other ejectionnable offenses.

      Batters don't charge the mound anymore?

      I had a scene in MLB13 where Guerrieri hit a batter (wasn't the third in a row), and the batter charged the mound. Guerrieri was ejected (but the batter wasn't for some reason).

      I think it was MLB09 where guys could get ejected arguing calls at the bases? That should be back in along with guys thrown out arguing balls and strikes. Some of those scenes you could imagine escalating into an ejection with some of the reactions after being called out on strikes.

        I have never seen a guy charge the mound in MLB the Show only Slugfest games. I also never remember guys arguing calls on the baseball path. Only game I remember arguing calls was MVP '05.

          I'm almost positive in the 2K games the batter would charge the mound and then the camera would break away. Either that or the old Show, I know I remember it.

            The Show had it in previous versions.

                Yeah, I believe the only ejections you'll see is when the User hits too many batters by throwing directly at them.

                I wish the MLB would allow more "tense" moments into the games but oh well.

                  Oh so the league is why those scenes aren't in. Figures. *sigh*

                    How about a slider to adjust line drives into the pitchers chest/face/ankle, or one to adjust choppers to the catcher.

                      I may even recall a baseball game where you actually choose how far to push your argument of the call as the manager to get your team riled up. Like a mini-game almost. Or how mound visits work, doing them at the right time. Am I crazy? There's no telling how many things I've forgotten about good games..

                      Dude, for real... I'm at the point now where if I never see another weak chopper a couple of feet in front of the catcher again, it's 100% likely you'll never hear me complain.

                        The manager arguing was MVP '05.

                          I really hope soon down the road they upgrade the game engine. I even wonder how an engine similar to what Natural Motion had with Backbreaker would work for a baseball game. The Show is great, but the players are starting to feel more and more like robots. More stiff, you could say. Also, to allow for more dynamic gameplay so we could see more plays like these happen:

                            The stolen base system is atrocious this year. You take a one step lead and get picked off 90% of the time and if you just send the runner he makes it about 90% of the time with no lead as long as his speed is 75 plus. I want them to make taking bags more credible and worth the effort. Billy Hamilton for example is a living triple no matter what, pitch out and all.

                              Which game mode are you referring to and which type of controls (analog or button) do you us for baserunning?

                              I got so frustrated running the bases with analog controls in RTTS and just switched back to buttons so I could preload steals. My reaction time was just never good enough with analog. With Franchise, I just leave baserunning at auto. Sometimes I'll try a manual steal, but the CPU does a pretty decent job stealing for me, so I just let it do it's thing.

                                Would stat tracking in franchise mode be considered little?
