MLB 16 The Show WISHLIST

Re: MLB 16 The Show WISHLIST

Last one. I am not a fan of computer faces when you make a trade. I wish there was a way to have an auto team jersey and cap to go over the real players jersey and cap. I'd rather have a cartoon-ish hat than a cartoon-ish face of players we know.
Like this picture. That hat is a simple overlay of a computer player. That doesn't look bad to me. I just made that in 3 minutes. If that could even be done it would do wonders. Maybe I'm just crazy and nit picky.

Improvement to Hitting

I can't keep the bat through the zone or pull my hands in, timing is not enough for hitting. Maybe Square and Circle should be use to pull or to go opposite field. You also can't see the seams when you're hitting. I don't think is fair that I have to try to hit a plain white ball. There's a reason for the expression "sitting dead red" when a hitter is waiting for a fastball. Having a visual cue would help hitters recognize the changeup. @CoachLisle posted this on Twitter.

I think something like this is a great idea! It would be an extension to the old MVP hitter's eye, except a little more realistic. I think combining this with MLB 2k's hitting eye where it would tell you some of the pitches, but not all of them (which was supposed to be based on ratings) i.e. some hitters have a hard time picking up certain pitchers or pitches. This could be a throwback to the older games and a welcomed addition of solidifying both systems, by making them better!

The devs have already said that they tried to put this kind of visual clue in the game (copied from PYS) but that they weren't happy with the results.

Re: MLB 16 The Show WISHLIST

I'm sure they have been mentioned but just want to double down, online franchise co-op, and team relocations/expansion. More stadium options and total stadium creation would also be nice but not high on the list.

Re: MLB 16 The Show WISHLIST

The game could stay the exact same as 15 as long as SOTS returns. I don't care how, make it happen!!!

I think the main issue with this is that not every player's head/neck is the same size so a single uniform template overlay wouldn't work. You'd really have the customize the team jersey for each head. That's thousands of possible combinations of jersey templates and headshots. Even if the memory wasn't an issue, do you think SDS is going to go through the tedium of sizing all of those jerseys? It would be a nice add, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

The pictures are all centered, so it would be easy just to overlap them in. Also every player is already made digitally. Send your player down to the minors or trade them. It's already there. It would be too hard I'd imagine to do it. The picture I made above was with two random players. One real and the other digital.

Re: MLB 16 The Show WISHLIST

MLB The Show 16: Wish List by H.B. (fairplayleagues)

These are not in most important order first, But hopefully all get looked into and not ignored.

1. We need full editing capabilities in the online franchise such as being able to edit players jersey numbers,changing there position, making a SP a RP or vice versa. I am not asking necessarily to edit ratings on players in the online franchise the ratings can stay grayed out still , but all the other things that we need to be able to edit is a must in any online franchise.

2. We need the ability to export and import players into MLB 16 that were on previous MLB THE SHOW GAMES, this I mean real actual MLB players not the created ones as we are already able to do this with those. This has been an issue when accidentally a real MLB player has been imported over and no way to get him back other than recreated them. Would like to see in MLB 16 all players on this game also available to export and import. I know that SCEA developers enjoy putting themselves into the game at launch so why not let us export these players and change them into look alike MLB players missing from the game? This would really help creating missing minor league players as well. As a roster creator myself one of the hardest faces to do are the ASIAN/JAPAN faces and I know there have been some asian/japan developer faces added to the game in recent years this would allow us to turn that developer face into a real MLB player.

3. Would like to see player profile pictures change based off of espn, fox sports or mlb.com player profile picture. This way when in real life there traded there photo will change for that team, as in real life usually these websites have the players photo updates within 24 hrs. This would work for people who don't keep rosters updated but many of us who enjoy doing this it would look realistic.

4. We need WEATHER added. Weather is a big part of baseball. Would like to see it automatically change in the game as if its cold see the fog from players mouth when breathing, have dirt look wet from rain, and some type fog rain delays. Maybe tie in weather.com into the game and whatever city the home team is in is the actual weather for that day? If a game starts cloudy then later on as game goes along just let it start raining on its own. The weather should effect the pitchers command and the batters swings as it does in real life.

5. Base running needs to be revamped from the ground up making the reaction and controls feel more fluid instead of the players feeling lazy and base running buttons issues occurring. Most of the time the buttons are delayed and not very responsive causing base running errors ending in outs. The controls need to be more responsive and player models reacting to the controls smoother.

6. VERY IMPORTANT! Please bring back when your playing online especially in online franchise games human vs. human that we see exactly the same thing on our screen as there seeing on there's. In MLB 14 & MLB 15 the animations were completely off as I played several games with a good friend and we never seen the same thing on his or my TV screen. In MLB 11,12, and 13 this worked like it should please bring it back.

7. When creating a player the name input should allow us to create these long names now in baseball. The number for last names at least should be 15 letters.

8. I have asked for this for a few years now but can you please add API (CATCHER CALL) as an option for human vs human games? It currently is there for human vs CPU now but would like to be able to use this in head to head games as well. Maybe add Inside edge to the Cather's call based off the past 3 seasons.

9. In the online franchise would like to to see the actual real MLB schedule including real off days. In MLB 14 & MLB 15 the MLB schedule was added but the days and dates did not match up. Would like to see actual game start times included and maybe added on the schedule screen withing the square for that date. What about adding additional year schedules for people who like to use previous seasons or historic rosters?

10. The online franchise needs the 40 man roster added, player options added, waiver wire and the rule 5 draft in June. I would like to finally see a true online franchise with the same exact features offline has and really hope the scoreboards work online this year along with hopefully an option to turn broadcast on or off not just be stuck with only FAST PLAY.

11. SLIDERS - We need a catcher throw speed and maybe accuracy of there throw slider. Same goes for arm strength slider needs to be separate slider for infield, outfield and catcher arm strength and a separate reaction slider for infield, outfield and catcher.

12. We need a complete transaction log for the online franchise. In MLB 14 & MLB 15 the only transaction that would show in the event log was when a player you traded or you signed a free agent or released a player. To help the commissioner a full transaction log would help prevent league owners from sending guys down or calling guys up on a daily basis without the commissioner knowing or approval. The full transaction log would keep things honest.

13. The commissioner for online franchises need more flexibility when it comes to fixing teams in the online franchise when you happen to get a bad owner who decides to release players into the free agency and quits league. In MLB 15 there were some bad owners in leagues that did this leaving the commissioner noway fixing and getting team back to its original state. With salary cap issues, amount of money to spend to sign players etc made it really tough to sign the players released back. Maybe give the commissioner only a way to over ride transactions, signing players back at no cost?

14. We need to be able to see the player card of players were placing into our lineup to see what there backup positions are this is at the beginning of a game like online, online franchise etc...all head to head games.

15. COLLISIONS? There were many injuries last year due to collisions. When asked before about having this added I think I was told baseball not a contact sport? Injuries do happen in baseball and when players collide. In another baseball game in 2007 there was an option to call of the other fielders near.

16. Broadcast Mode in Online Leagues. Please add back the BROADCAST mode online I love this game as many other on-liners do and I want to see all the presentation this game has to offer without having to just play offline. Give us some kind of option for individuals who don't want the presentation and they can skip through it. I only play this game online. I never played a season, offline franchise, road to the show, diamond dynasty etc.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

(a) Able to Export & Import real players onto any roster.
(b) Able to edit service time, age, height and weight on real players.
(c) Able to add service time on edit player screen.

* No more yellow bars on edit player screen. Can you please make it numbers like the rest of the options?

* Please add more hair styles and options to have light brown or blonde hair, medium dark brown and medium blonde, Dark brown and blonde etc? same needs to be added for eyebrow and facial hair colors.

* It's time for a way to keep players on MLB level photos updated, either Photoshop or link them with each player having a photo ID to a sports website like mlb.com, ESPN, fox sports etc so when a player gets traded, signed etc his new player photo will be for that team. Mlb.com usually has this updated instantly and we finally need this on MLB 16.

** Websites like mlb.com, ESPN, fox-sports keeps players updated on the fly. If there is someway to be able to link the real MLB 16 players to one of these websites there photo would u[date automatically. For the people like myself who enjoy keeping there rosters updated to real life this would be huge. For people who don't care or do drafts then it wouldn't affect them or there roster.

Play a friend in Diamond Dynasty

I loved the team building and card collecting. It would be nice to be able to just play my friends (who I know play a sim game of ball) teams and set up tournaments.

DD has so much potential. I hope they can unleash more fun for this mode that I put some time into this year.

Re: MLB 16 The Show WISHLIST

I've been saying this since the PS4 came out but Sounds of the Show, Playstation Move support, and Analog stride hitting. I haven't moved to PS4 yet due to these features missing but now the PS3 versions are seriously starting to get old and buggy.

Also, please make another budget Vita release. Not asking for much here just the same game with updated rosters and cross platform saves for $20 again. Please don't discontinue the Vita version.

Re: MLB 16 The Show WISHLIST

I want a new Stat Overlay animation displayed during Home Runs!!

Something more like this would be cool!

go to 1:10 into the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61spAt92APc

In MLB The Show when you hit a Home Run the Home Run Stat Overlay popups after the next batter is already batting which in my opinion is bad. It needs to popup while the batter who hit the Home Run is rounding the bases like on every TV baseball broadcast!

Can't understand why something like this was not included years ago.

Re: MLB 16 The Show WISHLIST

There could be pre-determined improvements that could be made to stadiums, such as you want to 5,000 seats or a new video board, here are 2 locations you can put one (tie in with Owner mode). And for new stadiums, we don't need Create-a-Stadium yet, but even like 3 or 4 options to choose from (like Madden), just purely so we can get the A's out of O.co and the Rays out of the Trop.

ya the whole Create-a-stadium would be a challenge. because of how every ball park is designed. its different in the NHL and NBA games because they are played in arenas so not a whole lot changes. with ball parks though, how would you design the field then add in items behind the outfield to make it unique compared to other stadiums as not 1 single stadium is the same as another one.
