    Re: MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

    Not a 'feature' request, but figured I'd put this here instead of creating a new thread for a single jersey

    Royals announced that they will be adding a new home alternate in 2017 for Friday home games:

      Re: MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

      My wishlist for TS 17 is pretty straight forward considering 16 added so many things I've wanted over the years. Here's it.

      Spring Training ballparks from past years of The Show:
      Palm Frond Park
      Turbine Stadium
      River County Stadium
      Flagstone Field
      Mackenzie Field
      Sunsito Stadium
      American Greens Stadium
      Moonstone Park (This one was my favorite ST ballpark)

      Presentation:
      MLB ballpark exteriors during game intros
      Aerial views of MLB stadiums
      Flycam for replays

      That's the main stuff. Great job on TS 16 to the SCEA team!

        Give the option to control roster moves for MLB only. Allow the computer to control moves between AAA, AA and A. Controlling all 30 teams is hard enough, to also have to control their minors is a full time job.

        Separate automatic line up control and rotation control. Teams tend to change lineups even when set to manual but seeing starting pitchers start 2 days in a row is ridiculous. I would rather set lineups to automatic but have manual control over rotations.

        Have an editable team depth chart. You can set it for each team to say if player X doesn’t play his position on a given day, player Y will start in his place. This could also work when a starter goes on the DL, the chart would determine who gets called up.

        Sign extensions.

        Trade a player for cash.

        Editable coaching staffs, especially the uniforms numbers.

        Prevent a player from retiring as well as forcing a player to retire. Colon and Dickie both signed with Atlanta but the game retires both. Teixeira announced his retirement but does not retire in the game.

        Have the option to remove beards from players. There’s something wrong with seeing players with beards with the Yankees.

        Be able to import draft picks.

        Have the ability to edit uniforms even if it’s only to a certain degree. Cleveland wore red sox and undershirts this year but the game had them wearing navy blue. These minor issues happen every year. Being able to do some editing like in Diamond Dynasty would give us the ability to correct some of the issues. If someone plays multiple seasons with the game, it would be nice to change things up in the uniforms. It would also give us the ability to remove patches teams where for one season.

        Get rid of one of the throwback uniform slots and give us another alternate current uniform slot.

        Be able to create a veteran player and input his correct career stats.

        Expand the list to assign audio to created players names. There are names in the game but not available in the list of audio names. I would guess it’s just a question of adding the names to the list and there are many.

        Create an inactive list for teams. Players can be put on the inactive list for suspensions and family emergencies. I realize suspensions will never be part of this game but when a player is suspended in real life, he can be put on this list rather than forcing an injury or placing him in the minors and using an option. Also, Solarte took time off for the death of his wife this year, we would be to make him inactive for that time. I know it won’t be called suspension but just label it inactive. (Hope this makes sense)

        Rehab stints in the minors for players after coming back from a long injury.

        Display more stats. In game, righties and lefties averages against pitchers is displayed in the bullpen screen but that stat can’t be seen in the out of game stats screen. Also include inherited runners for relief pitchers, bases stolen or caught stealing for catchers. Team starting pitching stats and team bullpen stats so you can see who is more effective.

        Go back to individual team hot and cold lists. It's nice to see what my players have done over the last 10 games.

          Career Postseason Stats!

          Love how they got career stats on the player cards, but after each postseason, their postseason stats are gone forever. 5 Years later I want to look back and see if my star player excelled or struggled in the postseason during contract talks.

          Especially in RTTS. I can't get the sense if I'm a postseason hero or choker.

          I'm hoping they can get this in for '17

            Really hoping on further gameplay development/improvement.
            Player models need a rehaul but as mentioned this would mean changing all the animations as well so not expecting that.

            One thing i'm really hoping for :

            Fake add in stadium that look like the real ones. I'm seeing way too much the show adds right now.
            Making the fake ads would add to the realism, especially color wise.
            Hoping that they will do this (and not break any copyright due to the fact that the fake ones would look too much like the real ones)

            Classis players, rosters and stadiums would be great too.

              I hope in MLB The Show 17 there's a new commentary system for repeating as Champions. I play every game start to finish and just finished the the 2017 season with the Cubs, I've won the title twice in a row and got this. "After years, decades even, the Chicago Cubs can finally say the word. The Chicago Cubs have finally won the World Series." Same commentary in 2016 repeated in 2017. The LCS clincher had the same commentatary in both years too. It just sounds weird. There's been a lot of effort made to make this game as authentic as possible but I feel that lets it down somewhat.

                Re: MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

                One thing I'd love to see implemented is random huge years of improvement or decline for players in Franchise mode. Every now and again in baseball someone, almost completely unexpectedly, just completely explodes into a top performer in a way that no one saw coming, like Daniel Murphy a couple of years ago, or a young player advances at a rate far beyond what anyone could expect. (like so many do)

                That's really not in The Show at all, it's all very formulaic and predictable. Young players get maybe two to four overall points better a year, then once players hit their predetermined peak, they start getting slowly worse. It would make each save a lot more unique and less predictable if the growth system was a lot more volatile every now and again. So maybe some random mid 70's rated guy in his late 20's all of a sudden has a huge year and becomes a mid 80's player, or your top prospect has a breakout year and goes from being a raw high 60's player to maybe even a low 80's player like Trea Turner? Obviously most people should be the steady way it is now, but if a handful of players each year just either shot up or fell off a cliff like Ryan Howard it would make things a lot more realistic and enjoyable. Injuries having lasting impacts on your ratings would probably help from the big decline standpoint.

                At the moment it's all just a bit slow to change, rebuilding a franchise isn't as rewarding as it could be imo. The baseball world evolves a lot quicker than it does on The Show at the moment

                  Not really a feature, but I wish we could get more radio calls in the menus. Previous seasons, historic calls, end of World Series calls, etc.

                    Add to this, month to month stats. I know they have them because they pop up pregame on the 1st of every month (rtts). It would be really cool to see if my guy was a slow starter or if he was clutch in September.

                    (I would like to be able to see this in franchise also)

                      I'd like to see a fielding practice addition. I remember one of the MVP baseball games had a feature where you could have random ground balls or fly balls hit to you. Was kinda fun trying to learn timing on diving plays in the infield or ball tracking in the outfield.

                        I would really love to have a online 7 game series option. Where pitcher/player energy and rotation/bullpen usage matter.

                        RTTS:
                        Better looking hair and more options.
                        Use contract money for training and buying gear boost. (Because really whats the point of it.)

                        A little more realistic game play situations. (really a power hitter bunting with 2 strikes and a man on 3rd with one out??????)
                        Time for the sox to tear it down and rebuild.

                          I thought this as well, but in my Marlins franchise, after playing the AL East, I played the AL Central... So they do rotate.

                            Was this in RTTS or franchise?

                            Because in my Cardinals franchise I have played 3 seasons and every year I have played the AL West as my Interleague games.
                            I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                            I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(
