      Third basemen that will dive and field a ball that is hit down the line (auto fielding). Also get rid of the barehanded fielding on hard choppers with slow runners, nobody would field like that. It feels like 1 out of every 4 tries the fielder whiffs on it and turns an easy out into a single. I see an attempt at least once every other game.

        To be honest, the major problem is the complete lack of AI when it comes to when is and isn't an urgent situation. So players go for risky barehand grabs one routine grounders, while other times they'll casually tap the ball in their glove a couple of times when they should be hustling, not to mention the ridiculously casual outfielders taking an eternity to get the ball back into the infield or the infielders not standing on the base when the throw should be going there.

        They need to fix that decision making, or even better, add a button you can hold to indicate urgency for your fielder (hold L2 and the fielder will try a bare hand grab or quick underhand throw etc, but with diminished success rate, something like that)

I am realistic in that this may never happen, but this repetitive un-intuitive commentary is beyond awful and the fact they continue to ignore it every year is insulting to us as fans of the series.
          When I finally tire of their commentary, I just turn all of them off. It makes you feel like you're at the game as you can better hear the crowd and PA announcer.

          As far as my wishlist....please, please, please do something to fix the Franchise Draft. I didn't mind the 20/80 change to their ratings, but it takes entirely too long to scout players, especially when most of them don't even show up in that year's draft. Let us do some of that scouting in the offseason when nothing else is going on. By the time we get to the 5th round, there are only a handful of players left to pick from and most of the time I don't even sign them because they are horrid.

          Also, give us an alternate uniform slot for Diamond Dynasty so I don't have to go back and edit the Home/Away if I want to wear a different colored jersey or hat.

            Fully agree. I think it's the same with double plays.
            Way too many bare handed / throw in full motion turns when there's no need to.
            Lot's of times there's time to simply catch the ball, tag base and step and throw.

              Yep totally agree about the barehanded fielding animations.

              They definitely need to be cut down a lot.

                  I really hope we may finally be getting the long requested "Upper deck behind home plate" stationary camera with perhaps slight movement left and right.

                  I know Russell said he ran out of time to get something like this in MLB The Show 16. So hopefully it's looking good for 17

                    It's during times like this in the offseason when I wish the show had an option like in NBA 2k where you can start a franchise on today's current date. Would be awesome to jump right into the offseason during the winter meetings.

                      u can always do it urself. i do it....it takes some time and effort but u can get pretty accurate. I do wish tho that this next years game puts more emphasis on the Winter Meetings instead of just a logo

                        I would like to see a top 50 prospect list or top organization top 10 in this years game. I know it has the top 50 icon by the name, but i think a ranking system would be an awesome addition.

                          Hoping for a more realistic off season...in RTTS I just had altuve, sale, and bumgarner retired cuz of poor free agent market...complete nonsense.

                            * merge the "roster control" functions into the "manage/edit players" page. I see no reason for them to be separated.
                            BEAUTIFUL...i love your ideas...gotta have custom divisions, especially for playing past seasons...id also love expansion like nba2k has added....and to go completely bonkers....id like to have the choice of commentary from stadium to stadium.....give a game like that or add ons like that...not just options of buying points...give e old tiger stadium!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              As far as gameplay Id really like to see less ground balls hit right in front of the catcher, and there are still FAR too many infield pop flies.

                              As far as game modes. Please give attention to Online Franchise.

                                In 400+ games played I have yet to see a broken bat bloop single over the infield. Broken bat hit physics needs to be worked on.
