MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

Re: MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

Hopefully the Nationals new alternate makes it in (it's going to replace the blue alternate most likely in real life). Hopefully the Nats put it in the guide.

Those are a lot nicer than the blue alts. Brighter and sharper.

The players have been complaining about the blue uniforms being too hot during the summer (the months they usually wear them) so that is the reason for this change.

Hoping they add more pre-game stadium shots like this. These kinds of things go a long way when making the game feel more fresh.

Re: MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

I think I say this every year but in franchise I'd like to convert failed position players into pitchers and to be able to use position players to pitch in long extra inning game, or blow-outs rather than having to burn my bullpen and/or use a starter. I'd also love an option in RTTS to convert a failed starter into a reliever, a reliever into a starter, and a failed position player into a pitcher. That's pretty much all I want.

Re: MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

I would love to them continue to add on to that animation system when it comes to fielding. That is one of my favorite parts of the game is playing defense.

I really enjoyed the improvements made last year, the only thing I would like to see tweaked is how the players are controlled, i feel at times it is a little stiff and you don't have complete control over the fielder, basically it could be a little smoother. I can see this happening with additions from last years, as i found it the most fun I have had playing the field to date.

Also would like to see different animations for different types of fielders, like the running animations last year. For example Tulo plays a style not many fielders do by circling grounders and throwing on the run. That would really freshen up things IMO.

Would love to see some more in-play cameras as well, i switch between brodcast and dynamic through out the year, a good way to mix it up on defense but maybe a few different angles would help this even more, or custom defensive cameras if thats possible.

is it march yet?

To build on that... In franchise mode, it would be pretty awesome if once every few years, a borderline starter who isn't getting much run as a SP becomes a reliever and starts to dominate. Mostly guys with the plus plus fastball and questionable control a la Dellin Betances or Wade Davis, or now that I think about it, Mariano Rivera

It would imo enhance gameplay if they had different break for the same pitches.

Similar to what mvp baseball had with selecting the clock angles 10-5 etc

Re: MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

If anybody from SIE San Diego Studio development team is listening, please make franchise mode more realistic. The way contracts are handled is a joke. Why can't I sign players to minor / major league deals? I hate having to sign my entire minor league system to one year deals every year. Also, please let me offer contract extensions in season. Currently, the morale system is broken because I can't offer a player more money until his contract expires...so I risk him losing rating points because he things he needs more money. Finally, allow more freedom of contract types (opt outs, vesting options, etc.). Bottom line, the management side of franchise mode is a garbage at this point.

From a game play standpoint, I like the route the game is heading. A few updates to the animation engine would be nice, but if I had MLB 16's game play at an actual 60fps the entire time (no dips ever), it'd be near perfect.

All in all, this is one of the best sports' series I've played and I'm very appreciative of the developer's efforts...especially with a lack of competition.

Re: MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

Not so much a wish feature as much as it a necessary change.

Playoff scheduling!

In '16, the playoff schedule is a little off in terms of times. In the game, when there are 4 DS games in 1 day the times wouldn't be spread out throughout the game it would just be 3 7 o'clocks and 1 8 o'clock. And when there are only 2 DS games, both games would have 1 o'clock start times.

In real life, when there are 4 DS games, it would all be based on time zones and what team is home, but there would be a game starting at 1:00 EST, 4:00 EST, 7:00 EST and 10:00 EST. Again, it all depends on time zones and home teams but there shouldn't be 3 games starting at 7:00 EST and the other one at 8:00 EST.

For the C games, in real life when there are 2 games in one day, the game starts at 4:00 EST and 8:00 EST (Depending on Time Zones and Home Team). And when only one game is being played that day, the game starts at 8:00 EST.

This is a necessary change for '17 The Show.

Re: MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

Not really a wish, but more of a fact regarding the Dbacks uniforms. They were missing the Red/Black alternates last year. The red one will be in this year. The red alternate (that says DBacks on it) is a spring training top as well. The new spring training uniforms for all teams that were too late to put in 16 should be in this year. Still holding out hope we get more uniform slots this year, or at least teams will have their more commonly wore uniform sets.

Re: MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

I love watching and keeping track of CPU vs CPU play in franchise mode. I was disappointed with MLB The Show 16 in which you could not change from the one camera angle like you could in MLB The Show 15 when you could select from several different camera angles.

Another change I'd like to see is with the managers and assistant coaches. I want to be able to edit the names of all of them. Out of the box, some are right, but others are not. Also, have a bench coach and maybe an assistant pitching coach added as well. Have the same coaching positions that you see in real life. Finally, have a hot board set up with assistant coaches who are doing a good job teaching their team how to hit, pitch, field, etc. Fired managers and coaches can be replaced by the very best assistants at the top of the hot board across the league. Also, make it where the best up and comers will demand a higher salary too.

Not sure how it would work, but instead of having to edit faces, how about a feature where you can google image a prospect's, a manager's, or an assistant coach's face from the internet and import it into the player's card and onto his body on the screen? Keep the editing feature too though, because I'm sure some just enjoy doing that.

Re: MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

I could not sleep last night so while in bed I started thinking what if San Diego Studios could grant me most of my wishes for MLB The Show 17 what would they be?


1. Brand new "Next Gen" Grass & Dirt.

2. Brand new "Next Gen" Player Models.

3. Even better TV Style Broadcast presentation with 2K style commentary & smarter audio reactions from the crowd.

4. Much smarter CPU AI including Manager, Bullpen tendencies/moves & player hitting and fielding tendencies.

5. Create a team option that is a separate mode from Diamond Dynasty.

6. New Fielding practice mode where you can practice any type of hit & game situation examples Robbing Home Runs, diving catches and double plays.

7. MLB Live Season Mode.

8. Players wearing their team Jerseys in the All Star game.

9. Improved weather effects examples Sunny to Cloudy, Cloudy to Sunny, Rain to Sunny, and Sunny to Rain.

10. New upper deck behind home plate camera that is stationary with slight movement left and right to follow the ball for Bating, Fielding and Pitching which would be mostly used for CPU VS CPU games.

11. Native 4K60 & HDR for PS4 Pro.

I would have added more realistic Ball Physics to the wish list but it looks like that is coming in 17

There is more but these would be my top wishes!

If we get even 3 things on my wish list for 17 besides the new improved Ball Physics I would be very happy and satisfied until MLB The Show 18!!!

Re: MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

Technically being an in-house studio, aren't the PS4 Pro audio/visual upgrades kind of a requirement?
