    i know its WAY too late, and its also been covered in various ways...but after watching the postseason, I need to wish and hope that its either been done or that SCEA will listen and make some changes to the way the playoffs are presented.

    It is simply a different game come October. Everything is louder, more intense, each play critical. I want to feel this when playing. Not to mention I want to feel rewarded for getting there. Aside from them mentioning the playoffs from time to time, everything else feels like a regular season game....so some suggestions:

    Cold weather: Maybe see the players breath, fans bundled up, cold weather gear options.

    Bunting and banners: At least, please add something to the stadiums. Bunting around the walls, maybe the logos painted on the grass.

    Presentation: Change it up a bit. Add the playoff logos to the replay screen that fades in and out, maybe send it to a sideline voice for info from the dugouts, make a bigger deal with the commentary.

    Fans: Special crowd shots in playoff games, tense fans, celebrating, disappointed, maybe coming into the stadium completely pumped up and decked out in team colors! Absolutely INSANELY loud crowds, waving towels (in certain stadiums) chants, waves, everything. Make them really come alive in the playoffs. I want to barely be able to hear the commentary when I have 2 strikes and 2 outs in the top of the ninth at home with a one run lead in game 7! They should be standing and yelling at the top of their lungs!

    Celebration: Make this go on forever. We can always hit the x button! I want to see a lot of jumping around, player award presentations, fan shots, depressed losing team shots, replays, replays from the whole series, commentary, more player celebration shots! Blow this up! We played 162 to get here!

    I am sure there are more....but this is what came to mind!
    Awesome post dude!!! Everything you mention is what I would love to see. Playoff atmosphere and WS celebrations are key!!

          I would love for them to update the franchise presentation/layout. IMO it seems outdated, basic, boring. I used to love NFL 2K5's presentation/layout setup, that would be sweet.

            Dynamic Lighting!!!


            Sony I guess could also have an option to use the PS3 built in clock for Dynamic Lighting!


            You would see the sun setting if the start time is 4PM or rising if your start time is 5AM.

            Dynamic Lighting would and should cause different shadows to creep as the game goes on.


            Weather could also be part of Dynamic Lighting. How cool would it be if we start a game and its bright and Sunny. And then later in the game the clouds roll in and it starts to rain!

              Some things I would like to see... major and minor:

              Wilson Betemit's last name is pronounced "Bet-eh-mee." The "t" is silent. Even many TV announcers get this wrong.

              Rain Delays/Double-headers

              New stadiums (Yankee and Citi)

              40-Man ST and September rosters.

              LOUDER fans. I think some of the chants should be re-recorded. Some sound less like rowdy stadium chants and more like 5 people in a room who are bored. In addition, a more authentic Yankee "roll call."

              Argue calls

              Fights/Suspensions

              Real minor league stadiums. Also, if possible, real minor league players even if they don't have big league experience... though I don't know if there is a legal problem there.

              Dynamic lighting.

              Fan reactions.

              I love MLB '08. Probably my favorite game of all-time. These changes would make it even better.

                Excellent post.

                I really miss being able to send my manager out to argue close plays.

                  Re: The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

                  1. Would it be so much to ask to update the Hall of Fame screen? Wade Boggs & Ryne Sandberg, the most recent players we see, were voted in in 2005. Update this please!

                  2. Fix the Gold Glove award. I'm sick of seeing Baltimore pitchers win it just because they're the first team in the AL that shows up when there are a lot of 1.000% fielding pitchers.

                  3. Dynamic lighting / day-dusk-night cycle

                  4. Weather (rain delays, rain outs, double headers)

                  5. 40 man rosters in Spring Training and September

                  6. Quicker load times in RTTS

                  7. "A" ball clubs

                  8. Fix the baserunning camera angles so you can watch the ball rounding first and second base

                  9. Collisions with players, walls, umps

                  10. Uneven trades / cash considerations. Also, when trying to trade a player, have the ability to sort out teams who show the most interest in him, and who they'd be most willing to give up for him.

                  11. Actual negotiations when resigning someone instead of the players only accepting their requested amount at a minimum

                  12. Postseason feel to the postseason

                  13. Having the "auto-fix" feature not destroying all of your lineups

                  14. More minor league stadiums

                  15. 1st and 3rd base coaches that wear helmets

                  16. Homerun Derby and Futures Game during the All Star break

                  17. Ability to choose to argue calls

                  18. Clearing out dialogue like "...the MVP runner-up last year..." after the 2009 season when it will no longer apply. Better yet, have the commentary change for each player year to year, noting any accomplishments in the previous year, career progression, etc.

                  19. More single season and career records to break

                  20. Catchers who throw off their masks when fielding pop ups

                  21. Varying attendence, both based on pre-game factors (importance of game, support of team, and weather) and in-game factors (people leaving during a rain delay and people leaving in a blowout)

                  22. Increased number of fan character models and animations

                  23. More players and coaches in the dugout and bullpen

                  24. Ball boys and ball girls

                      I would love to see a more realistic crowd. Like if the home team is getting blown out, then have people leave and the stadium gets emptier as the games gets closer to the end.

                      Also for teams like the Royals, Marlins, Pirates, Nationals etc...they never have people show up to their games, but in MLB 08, it looked like their stadiums were sold out....i wanna see more empty seats, so that it looks realistic.

                        Fireworks after home runs or wins only at parks that have them!

                        And more real to life arm streaths!

                        Every player seems to have a great arm! Where are the really weak arms?

                          Comerica Park

                          1. Fountains go off in center field after a home run.
                          2. Outfield wall is green and not blue with pattern. They only had the blue with diamond pattern for the 06 season.

                            That and almost everything else mentioned in this thread. Really, really want the expanded rosters.
