The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

Here is a simple request for next year. How about the ability to put the camera height as high as the stadium when in replay mode? I hate how you can attach to the ball but once it gets to the fence you can't see it anymore and this is due to the "ground" level view that seems to be the only option.

- Separate Durability and Day-to-day Stamina rating. Just because someone is injury-prone doesn't mean they need more days off while they are healthy. Obviously, tone down position player fatigue in general.

- Drafted rookies are AWFUL. What's the point of having all of these minor league levels if everyone drafted in the 1st and 2nd round is major league ready. A lot are even ready for the ML All-Star game.

- If you nibble at the corners and you miss your spot on the meter, the ball should trend out of the strike zone most of the time. This would increase walks. The CPU doesn't swing at many of the pitches you "miss" by throwing down the middle anyway.

- Redo trading AI. I shouldn't be able to trade Yuniesky Betancourt for Chase Utley.

Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

i know it's never been done in a sports game, but i'd like a trading block where i can ask for prospects or vice versa like in real life.
already most franchise modes put a higher value on young guys over old.
so instead of asking for a specific position, i want to be ask for someone under 24, with a potential of A.
most trades in real life baseball is between a soon-to-be FAs and prospects.

and how come no other sports game has been able to put in a search function like Winning Eleven/Pro evol. soccer? Is that such a difficult thing to put in?

being able to search by pos. age, specific attribs, AND potential ratings, would help guys like me who play poor teams like the Pirates a lot of time.

Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

* More throwback jerseys
* in franchise mode-the ability to choose both team's jerseys
* Custom music for stadiums, batters, and certain in game scenerios.
* Please do that thread where people can put there real names in the game,no one ever says my first and last name.

For me, keep the solid gameplay and add these things and I'll be preordering 09 tommorrow!

Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

Here are some more:

Trading/Contracts:
• Multiple team trades.
• Uneven trades.
• Perks in contract nogotians. (Bonuses for milestones, mvp and all-star votes, etc.)

Player Portraits/Uniforms:
• Photoshoped images of every player in every uniform. (If someone chages teams, their photo gets updated for their new team.)
• Created players portraits shown in team uniform in menus. (Currently they are in free agent uniforms in menus and only in team uniforms while playing the game.)
• Show players in team uniforms when editing them. (Currently every player is shown in the free agent uniform)

Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

I'd say Rule 5 Draft
the 3 option where you can send a guy to the minors 3 times or something like that (I forget exactly what the circumstances are)
crowd add a few jerseys to them people for the home team and an occasional the other teams jersey, that'd make the crowd look more authentic and it'd be nice. I havent noticed jerseys yet but maybe its because I don't look real close.

That's option years....you get to shuttle that player back and forth for three seasons. Once you do that after his option years are depleted...to send him back down you must expose him to the waiver wire....another team can choose him...and you have the option of pulling him back at that point...but he must remain on your ML roster or be lost to the club who put the claim in.

Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

Fix the problems with all things mentioned in the work-around thread.

Then, think of adding some stuff.

We love the devs. But, please let us edit them. I don't want Chris OR Kolbe on my team.

Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

In RTTS, I would like to edit my player's appearance/stance/ and jersey number. I don't like picking a number in RTTS, sticking with it through ST, getting signed by the team to their minor league club, then have it changed to some number I didn't want because some pitcher is wearing number 11...

*40-man rosters of course, but that's not really important at the moment.

More hairstyles please, btw, I do like how deep the CAP is. It's beyond what I expected.

OF camera in RTTS needs some work, especially liners towards the gap. I find myself fighting the camera while running and it makes me take bad routes to the ball. It would help if the camera would zoom out a bit more.

*Waiver system.

*Options.

First name audio please .

Rookie drafting should be based on potential and these guys need to start off 1/3rd the overall ball at the very least to 5/8th the overall ball at best. There are top prospects in the game that are rated overall around the middle of the bar, i.e. Justin Upton, Chase Headley, etc. so I don't see why incoming rookies should be rated all-stars if Justin Upton of all prospects can't even get a rating near 3/4th.

More to come later. This is already a great game so there's not much for me to wish for.

Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

A lot of great ideas in here, many of which are on my wishlist as well. I would also like to see expanded career stats for multiple franchise seasons, create-a-team (or expansion mode for all my fellow former ASB players), more in-depth record book (for a game so stat driven in almost every other way, the record book is weak), rule-5 draft, some journeymen (non-roster invitees who seem to show up every spring and maybe eventually catch on somewhere), interactive mound visits, create a coach (or at least more detailed skill sets for current ones...that adjust as frnchise progresses), weather effects, and a CAP that so deep you say "why would I need to adjust THAT"...lol. I could probably go on, but I've rambled enough. I know some are nitpicky, but I'm a franchise junkie and the little things add to it.

...oh, and even though I kinda hate the song, I want "Sweet Caroline" in Fenway. (this is more of an aside, since I recall them saying they are looking for in stadium custom tracks in 09)

Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

Didnt read entire thread so most are probaly repeats but anyway...


-Pitchers actually sitting in Bullpen

-40 man Rosters

-Rule 5 Draft

-Right Stick Fielding (Rip off 2ks lol)

-Custom Soundtracks (For walkups, homers etc, again like 2k)

-Dont make Generic Minor leaguers, just give them generic names

-WAY more sig styles and better player models.

Yeah thats what I was talking about, that should definitely be there if they add 40-man roster and waiver wire, it'd only make it better.

Another thing they should add is the ability to make a trade and possible throw a little cash in for cash considerations.

Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

This should be an easy one: round off the decimals properly. It's sort of annoying to see a guy who is 3/7 batting .428 instead of .429. Growing up with baseball and stats, some numbers just look "strange" to me. Nit picky, yes, but I can't see why that would be hard at all to fix. Rick

Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

1 out 100 baseball fans understand the Rule 5 draft and you guys want it in the game? I would certainly find it fun, but most of the people playing would be lost. Same with option years, to a certain extent.

I'd like to see some type of online competitions you could take your RTTS player to. Something where he can compete against other RTTS players.

Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

batting practice mode, fielding practice mode(learn a new position), Home run distance records per stadium for franchise, more stadium specific stuff(splash hits, fireworks, mascots).

Great game so far. First year with the show. Thank you Chris and Kolbe. Awesome Job.
