Ideas to improve MLB The Show 23 (a more detailed wishlist of sorts)

Thought of another thing. Injury durations. Some of them are just way too short. The maximum for a concussion is 12 days. A strained Oblique leaves you out a maximum of 5 days. Guys can miss weeks or months with those injuries. And if those had more variable durations, you probably wouldn't have to see the plethora of arm fractures that you do. And really long term injuries (like Tommy John) are way too rare imo.

And then there's the weird durations. If a pitcher gets injured, they go on a 15 day IL. But did you know there's no such thing as a 15 day injury in this game? It's impossible. You can sprain your ACL and be out 12 days, but if you have arthroscopic knee surgery, you're out a minimum of 35 days. It's impossible to have an injury length between 13 and 34 days. And then there's also an even biggest gap. There's no injury durations between 71 and 179 days. So players that miss ~4 months simply don't exist. And then injuries max out at 254 days, which is a little under 8 1/2 months. Which would be fine for something like an ACL, but other injuries like Tommy John still normally take over a year.

Injuries need a complete overhaul.

Agreed

Its frustrating that a season ending injury (6+ months) has the same effect essentially no matter when you suffer the injury. If it occurs on the first day of Spring Training or Game 7 of the World Series, the player will be ready to go come Spring Training of next year.

Far too many broken bones in the game for my taste. Need more injuries that deal with muscle and joints. Looking at the IL and you'd think these guys were playing football with the amount of broken bones.

Injuries, like you said, are in desperate need of TLC and a quality of life update, much like a lot of what is currently in franchise.

It may have been like this for awhile and I just hadn’t noticed but I was checking the IL a few weeks ago trying to see why the BlueJays was playing so bad and they had 11 players including 4 MLB starters on the IL. I have never seen that many players from one team with that many injuries. The Twins also had 9 on IL.

I would like to see the challenge system added, also when it starts to rain too hard I’d like to see the grounds crew run out to put the tarp on the field.

I think that's a next-gen concept..

Hopefully the rule changes that are being voted on in the coming days will be implemented in next years game.

Devs should have more than enough time to get them in.

I can see them having the new shifting bans in the game, but I doubt they'll spend time with a pitch clocks.

Pitch clock is easy. There's already an internal timer in online play. Just make it so that's a ball if you wait too long instead of a fastball down the middle and add a timer to the scorebug.

Fair enough just seems that offline players don't take more the 5 seconds between pitches.

Lol right? I don't have any issues if its added or not, but it just seems like it would be pointless. The AI is never going to take a long time to pitch and neither will the user. But if I'm wrong it won't be the first time

A small thing I'd like them to add is a better variety of moments popping up with critical situations.

Like how MTO has player locked games come up. Something like "get out of a slump" or "keep hot streak going" and stuff like a players debut.

I know I can do it manually but still.

Im strictly offline franchise, every game player:

-Please please add split stats for when a player is traded during season instead of "TOT"
-put AA/AAA stats for every year under the player profile as well.
- fix free agency, it's stale and doesnt alert you when you sign some free agents/ also when you sign an existing player to extensions it doesnt mean the player joined your team as an FA that year lol

Re: Ideas to improve MLB The Show 23 (a more detailed wishlist of sorts)

One weird thing I wish they'd fix is why is there better, easier access to numbers in DD than in Franchise? The first is the player card in the lineup screen. And can get his split batting avg and HR right there.

The second and third are in-game (first pa and subsequent ones respectively). That pops up when you hold RT/R2.

I'd like to see a tab the provides more details for the current season at least in Franchise like the 1st picture. And keep the current stats tab for career stats. And imo, there's zero reason the in-game numbers shouldn't be in franchise in that spot.

NBA 2k23 hit it out of the park with Era mode. Mlb needs to incorporate that or at least allow us to realign teams, change number of divisions and playoff format. The response to nba2k has been nothing but positive. Also please improve upon options when rebranding teams. Need more uniform customization.
