Re: MLB The Show 21 Guessing Game - SDS Giving Away 2 Codes For the Top 2 Guessers...

I have to ask questions for some random guesses of mine regarding just features/improvements.

1) What does PS5 do regarding importing music and such? I'm sure SOTS will be much improved this time around, and I'm hoping that in years to come they'll have cracked a way where, at least in franchise, you can carry over a player and his walk-up music.

2) I believe I had heard that MLB The Show was the provider for the in-stadium crowd atmosphere/cheering at stadiums during the 2020 season, yes? I don't actually know if this is true or not, but say that it is, maybe they said something like: "Hey all, let's make this sound better than ever this year by doing 'blah blah blah.'"

The reason I think this may NOT be true is because they had no new items to record this year besides World Series games with a half-empty stadium, but I still bet that with the PS5's new sound design they probably have a much improved soundfield regardless.

3) I wonder if Alyssa Nakken will somehow be in the game (assistant coach for the Giants), and with that I wonder if there will be more in the way of female inclusion in the game? Perhaps not in the way of players just yet, but I bet that's coming sooner than later. With Super Mega Baseball allowing it and fans wanting/demanding more customization, if coaching staffs are a thing in that way, we may be seeing an opportunity to have female coaches or something. I don't know if they're going full bore and putting Jessica Mendoza in the booth or anything like that, but I am at least hoping to get improved Heidi Watney inclusion. Anyway, something on the female front may get an overhaul.

4) This next one is a lack-of feature, but as I hope the PS5 game is kind of rebuilt, I'm guessing that this year we'll lose franchise carryover from PS4 to PS5, at least for this season. Maybe next year they can bring it back when they have their framework for this game's franchise mode built and such, but that's just a guess like anything else.

Women in the game...WTF? Yeah I get it in SMB that's a fantasy type game but I don't think it should come to the show. If it does I want mascots included as well.

Yeah, heaven forbid there is a woman in the league and they go against including her in the game.

Her role isn't major enough for inclusion at this point (I honestly don't even know if this game has generic base coaches or real ones, but if even if they do she hasn't done it outside of Spring Training games), but that's not to say it's not a path they might have to lay their fingertips on down the road.

I'm not asking for SDS to do this, but I'd definitely love a softball video game someday.

Your mascot wish should be granted, too! All Star Baseball 2002-2005 had them for PS2/Xbox/GameCube. Let's pen that in as one of your guesses for this, so if it comes true for this year you might snag yourself a copy of this game!
