For those of us with nothing better to do with their time, the ability to play class A-Advanced games.

*NBA 2K injury system, with the lingering injuries and specific joints.

*More editing options. Coaches, uniforms, divisions, anything really...

*Rotating schedules or even custom ones.

*Improved AI decision making. Rosters, bullpen management, trades, etc.

*Anything from March to October. Especially the momentum thing. Would be cool to see a team gain more and more momentum as the season goes on. Something like the A's have done in recent past.

*Owner Mode.

I'm very content with the game, these things would put it over the top for me. The injury system thing would be great for story lines. Do you skip a start, or try and push through with some arm fatigue? Push too hard, and it's a permanent thing that will bother him over time. I would be good with little improvements, I'm not going nuts like other folks I've read. The March to October has some stuff I'm really interested to see what makes it in...

Literally anything franchise related would be welcomed.

Everyone always covers everything else, but all I've ever wanted is to be able to choose a different windup and a different stretch for each pitcher. And to be able to select separate batting stances from each side of the plate for switch hitters. I think it was MLB 2k12 that had all this previously and would add to the immersion a great deal.

Edit: also fully customizable injury lengths. Having all injuries fit neatly into a return time sucks.

how about they allow you to set up a franchise mode with friends. For example, I have my team, friend "A" has his, friend "B" has his, etc... then we can al play together against each other Why this or custom leagues was taken out is beyond me, that and teamplay/co-op. Those features being removed (yes they used to be in the game a few years back) has most likely cost the maker of this game some $$$> Off of my froends list alone it has cost them 8 people purchasing the game

MLB THE SHOW 12

THIS is why I am boggled at the people that think the current iteration of the Show's franchise mode is good, or one of the better out there among sports games. WHAT? Its been completely stripped down. I fear SDS will never implement this again because of there strategy of "its confusing to people". The show is 100000000x more fun to play then madden, but madden has the shows franchise mode beat by a mile, and even Madden needs alot of attention.

Do what 2k does, have a hardcore franchise mode, and a stripped down franchise mode for casuals.

I dont care how the Show stacks up against other sports games, I do care how it compares to other baseball games onthe market. OOTP's franchise kills the Show by miles but since its text only I cant go all in. Plus I prefer my gaming on console to PC. When there's a baseball game that beats the Show on console I'll be on it faster than a New York minute even if it means having to purchase an Xbot

While some of this is true, there's nothing about Madden that is better. Of course, this is my opinion. I'm pretty good at being wrong, but Madden is also good at being bad. Franchise Mode in that game is the reason I don't play it anymore...

My wishlist is to get new developers that'll just work on Franchise mode and keep the old developers to work on silly things like DD and the rest of the casual things.

about a year & half ago , I really thought Sony would hire extra devs when the economy took off like a rocket . I thought 19 was gonna be The Year for franchise . I still have hope for the same in MLBTS20

Re: MLB The Show 19 Franchise Mode Review: A Wishlist for 2020

The ability to edit service time and options remains at the top of my wishlist.

There is not a remotely close 2nd for me.

I understand why we should not be able to edit trademarked MLBPA players.. but I see no reason whatsoever why we should not be able to edit CAPs.

There are scores of things I'd rather have than running marketing scams.

Bobble head night... or the ability to truly breakdown whether your AA lefty is looking like the next Tom Glavine, or the next Brien Taylor?

Raising soda prices... or being able to allocate scouts internationally to potentially find the next Omar Vizquel or Andruw Jones?

Goofy cap night.. or advanced scouting on upcoming opponents?

If we're gonna talk features, I'd rather they deal with the on-field product, not off the field budget stuff. Wins and losses matter to me. Not the size of the pocket book at seasons end.

I’d like the ability for pitchers to develop a fourth or fifth pitch. Not just edit him so he automatically starts using it but expand the training mode to develop one. Have them learn in the spring or make A ball useful and learn it there.

I agree. I think the scouting in the game currently is really bad, and does not do a good job of representing the sport. I think there needs to be an international signing period as well, I am for all of that.

Yet personally, I still am amazed there is not an owner mode for an MLB game when the owner is extremely important. It would be awesome to have dynamic attendance. Based on team popularity, players, promos, time of day, month etc.

Being a mid market or low market team and trying to be in the green as much as possible would be fun. Maybe starting with a small 75m budget and within 6-7 years be a team with 150m budget with good ownership moves.

Each player having a popularity rating for jersey sales, tv contracts with different money payouts. There is just SO much they can do. That is what keeps me invested. Thats just scratching the surface. There is a ton they can do to improve the game overall.

Agree 1000% on this.

The thing is, finances matter for attaining wins and losses as well as how you get those wins and losses (players you can get/keep, etc).

While I don't care about promotional stuff, the financial side of franchise should not be ignored and unimproved.
