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

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

They've started the advancements.

One was the change to the budgets last year so that teams weren't constantly up against the wall in terms of money to where they couldn't make roster moves/trades due to budgetary constraints. They still happen obviously but to a much much lesser extent.

This year they fixed the budget to mirror real life where only the salaries of players on the 40 man roster counted towards the budget.

They've also redone other things but I don't know that those would've impacted/been impacted by having to account for Y2Y saves, but I know the two mentioned above in regards to budget would have/were.

The removal of Y2Y saves isn't going to propel franchise mode from 0-60 in a year, or two. There is a lot of old/legacy code that needs to be dealt with.

I get some what you're saying but I also think it is in large part an excuse from SDS. But again, why not include the Y2Y for the rosters if you can't include them for Franchise? At least brining back Y2Y for rosters if you can't on the other would go a long way to show some good faith. And then the amazing work on classic, fictional roster, etc would carry over instead of having to be redone.

Bottom line is removing beloved features like Y2Y and SOTS is never a good thing. Even if we can see some understanding of why, they need to work on figuring out how to get them back.

Thanks for your feedback on this though.

I'm not sure I would view it as an excuse

Its no secret that franchise mode has been very much stagnant from '14 thru '20, the time period that Y2Y saves existed. There were changes, obviously, but no big new features or extensive re-writes of logic.

I know the counter to that is going to be that its been gone 2 years and nothing groundbreaking has happened, but that's why I mentioned that franchise mode wasn't going to go from 0-60 in the span of a year or two, due to old/legacy code that needs to be cleaned up/re-written.

The way the budget/financials work in the game has to be top priority in terms of fixing/getting right before other things can be added as they are rely and effect the budget (expanded draft, international draft, expanded rosters, etc...), and that is what has been worked on the past two years.

Y2Y save feature is a huge resource component when trying to add new features, fix logic, within the mode. So while the community wants it back, and SDS understands there is a demand for it to return, its not an easy undertaking while trying to advance the mode beyond its long in the tooth condition its currently in.

Its a slow process and its frustrating that you lose a feature like Y2Y saves, which honestly I would take back in a heartbeat and leave franchise as is in terms of features, but its a process that the community and SDS must endure if we want the mode to reach the aspirations we have for it.

Same request since '15; External roster editor. Make it some kind of supplemental app. I'll gladly pay.

.. or it is a must that we have the ability to transfer roster saves from the previous version of the game.

I've added two more to the overall list. I'll keep updating. Keep adding suggestion as well.

I have been asking for years that we need an alternate jersey in Diamond Dynasty, it will be very difficult to add this.

Just need realistic amount of homeruns in games played and I'd be happy. It's an absolute game killer to me. If I wanted a homerun for every 2 or 3 hits out of 10 I'd go play DD.

I definitely think we need Alternate jerseys in creation, not just for DD but for rebranded teams. Just curious why you think it would be very difficult to add? What's your thoughts?

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

The safest thing is that the creators say that it is for memory space, they always come out with that.

We've all heard that. At some point they need to figure it out.

Can we unretire all jerseys other than 42? This just kills historic rosters.

Can we have a toggle button to have this option on or off? Please?

Stat sliders and the ability to import players into an existing franchise.

I'd like to see the way secondary positions are handled redone. Right now, a players ability to play a specific position is trinary; it's either a primary (full attributes), secondary (they lose ~5% of their ratings in fielding, reaction, and arm accuracy), or none at all (they lose a lot more and get bad animations, I believe).

But this system leaves a lot to be desired. Take somebody like Taylor Ward. It makes sense for him to have some ability to play Catcher. He played it in college and for a lot of his time in the minors. But he also hasn't played it at all since 2017. Since then, he's primarily been at 3B, LF, and RF. So while it makes sense for him to have a C secondary, should it be treated the same as a 3B secondary for him?

There's also a guy like Marcus Semien. He's been primarily at 2B the last 2 years. Makes sense for that to be his primary. But from 2015-20, he was primarily a SS, and he has still played SS in 23 games the last two years. He's still perfectly capable of playing SS everyday, and has just been at 2B because of other players at SS. So, he's really a guy that should have 2 primaries. Same goes for David Fletcher, who is a SS this year after playing 2B last year.

I think they should switch to a system where each individual position gets a rating that acts as a modifier to their defensive ratings. It was either MVP Baseball or 2k that did this as well, and it worked well. So a guy like Ward in the minors maybe gets like a 40 in catcher, but gets maybe say a 70 at 3B. But a guy like Semien gets a 99 at both 2B and SS.

This would also apply to OFers, though I think the vast majority of OFers would have full ratings for multiple OF positions.

I'd love to see positional ratings as well, particularly for Road to the Show. Each position would be a trainable attribute, allowing you to build a utility player at the expense of other attributes. There'd also be in-game boosts, with your rating increasing each time you make a defensive play at that position. Maybe even a utility player archetype?

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

They have some good stats that we see during games, like last ten games, stats in a current series, stats vs a particular player. I’d like to be able to view them from the franchise menu
