    Re: MLB THE SHOW 24 - RTTS BLOG AND TRAILER - WOMEN PAVE THEIR WAY

    Think it comes down to this

    If the show was in its prime (2010s), delivering pages and pages of press releases, numerous videos showcasing franchise, rtts, gameplay and graphics improvements, and the inclusion of woman in rtts was a one page feature. This would not have this same reaction.

    Now (2020s) The issue is that we don’t get the pages and pages of yearly improvements. So when we do get things like hair physics and woman rtts feature reveals, it feels like a let down. Basically we’re asking ourselves without hair physics for example, how many franchise improvements could they have added. And without woman in rtts, could they have added jersey cloth physics. Whether it’s a realistic trade off or not, right or wrong it’s how it feels to me.

    Definitely disagree with the people who think disappointment means you hate the addition or hate inclusiveness. If they made a softball addition similar to 2Ks wnba, I’d be the first to play a season. But the way it is now, can’t help but to dream what could have been in place of this.

    Side note; they definitely should have added a general manager feature to franchise with the ability to create a woman or man gm. Since this has actually happened recently. Could have a character creator and pick your suit that could be seen in negotiations. Definitely not holding my breath but that also would’ve had a better reaction

      I'm not sure how everyone is arguing one side or another. Or people accusing people of being immature or not wanting to be inclusive.

      I'd say at least 90% of the people who are disappointed by this, aren't disappointed because women are being added. It's because its being sold as a "major feature" while not improving the game at all, in terms of franchise, online and rrts.

      When you think on the back end coding part of things, adding women players to a game, would likely take less than a day, literally. A few face models, slightly different body shapes and some names in the selection and you're done.

      It's an evil genius move made out of laziness. Now if anyone complains that they didn't improve or fix some of the biggest requests of the game, they can just say that person is hateful and not wanting to be inclusive.

        All RTTS needed to do was copy the blueprint of NBA 2K's MyCareer. Yet again they drop the ball.

        I haven't touched the show in 5 years.

            On a side note, I think they should update the umps in the game because I think they are due to retire. With news of that lady going to umpire some spring training games, it would be cool to see a woman ump once in a while. I wish the show had 16 or how many ump crews so you could have a good variety of umpires instead of the 6 or 7 we have now.

              SDS also needs to update the umpires jerseys. I wonder if they need to be in the style guide?

                Adding a new GM mode where you can play as a woman, would've been cool

                  Now that would be cool!!!

                  Also maybe next year we can get Rosie O’Donnell on the cover of MLB The Show 25?

                  What do you guys think about that idea?

                    I’d just be happy with them not wearing jackets in July.

                      Genius move by SDS. Adding storylines and a female player model is the least amount of effort needed to have a "back of box feature" when you know all the stuff that people actually want (graphics, Franchise, and RTTS improvements) is going to take way too much work.

                      And if adding female player models sparks enough controversy so that everyone is at each others' throats in yet another culture war battle...that's all the better cause you've distracted everyone from the real problem: there hasn't been any actual improvements to your game in years.

                        Complaining won't work because I don't think they've ever listened to the community in 10+ years or more. I think they go through everyday and pretend the comments aren't on. The game is stale.

                          I think this might be the first time we have seen females in a Big league game since Baseball Stars and the Lovely Ladies (and those teams as we all know were fictional).

                          Am I right?

                            Super Mega qualifies for "Big League" as much as Baseball Stars does, doesn't it?
