Re: What are u looking for in MLB the show 12 ?

Mlb The Show has always been a great game but in the last few years all they have really did was make the game look better and fixed a few things here and there (By the way the best looking sports game ever made hands down) But it still needs lots of work under the hood....The AI still makes some really stupid trades and sometimes the way the AI thinks with the offseason moves really makes me think my god what's that GM drinking....So what I'm lookin for in MLB 12 is better AI trading...Give the players some life to them....I'd like to see rain more and please for the life of me add new stuff to what they say in the game...I'd also like to see more baseball stats on the players card....Sorry for the long post I got started and couldnt stop haha.

Re: What are u looking for in MLB the show 12 ?

Agreed, would add a lot more realism.

Same here!

Would love to see the ball move to the outfield at a faster pace and see a lot more hits go over out Out fielders heads.

Of all the things I could say I still want just a simple search Function the most

Re: What are u looking for in MLB the show 12 ?

i would pay more to see the ability to port rosters to a file that a PC can open and edit, then upload back into the PS3 instead of using a PS3 controller edit rosters. Would also like to see a searchable roster.

road to the show type thing but for GM. Or an expansion mode where you start out as rookie GM

Re: What are u looking for in MLB the show 12 ?

There are some great ideas here.
Give us more in-game stats, team and player.
Improved swing and hit physics.
Give us an overlay of who the CPU is putting in the bullpen, and allow us to queue a pinch hitter.
Add a mini game for mound visits that can change the pitcher's confidence. I suggest three conversation branches: aggressive ("get this guy out!"); moderate ("you can get out of this."); conservative ("relax and throw strikes."). Depending on the pitcher and situation their confidence can go up or down.
Allow us to aim bunts.
Redo check swings. It's too random.
Include full umpire rosters.
Have umpires blow calls in the field, but don't go overboard with this.
Dropped catches on DPs and throws to bases.
Force more errors and missed played balls on out of position players.
Kill the Final Destination CPU rallies where a meaningless two out error turns into a five run inning.
Add ballboys/girls picking up bats, foul balls and bringing balls to umpires.

Re: What are u looking for in MLB the show 12 ?

create a team mode! I have always wanted to make a yankees team without the pinstipes and see what it looks like, Include the real logos and scripts that are on every mlb jersey and give you the ability to use theme and recolor them for your jerseys

Re: What are u looking for in MLB the show 12 ?

I like that idea, kind of like the create a team in the EA NHL series.

But to piggy back off that idea here is an example of what I would love to create if the create a team went to this extent

I do like the idea of including each teams script that are on their uniforms and be able to put them on yours to make new ones for a team. I would also add that the hat loos should be included as well, plus the teams main logo so I can just recreate the twins and play them on a franchise mode. It would be so cool to be able to make uniforms like that for mlb 12!

here is what the nhl 12 create a team is like just as my example

and the beginning shows that you can choose the logos

Re: What are u looking for in MLB the show 12 ?

I would be happy with just two things...

1. Franchise overhaul
2. Redo the running animations for players. They feel like rabbit legs running around and players dont have any "weight" to them. There is no stride, digging, or braking/change direction/then start again in regards to weight and ability. Its called acceleration/speed/agility in case minds were wondering

Re: What are u looking for in MLB the show 12 ?

among many other things:

THE GIANTS' STRIPED SOCKS!

it would be nice to select which player to put them on individually when you edit a player instead of having the whole team wear them at once.

Re: What are u looking for in MLB the show 12 ?

Please fix the GOD-awful commentary and bland presentation. Fix those and some gameplay tweaks and u have something special in 2012.

Re: What are u looking for in MLB the show 12 ?

-MLB Today
-Playoff Made
Allow us to create our own playoff bracket. Let us play as any team and enjoy the playoff atmosphere without starting a Franchise.
-RTTS
Have the ability to save your player so that you don't have to create a whole new player model.
Give us the ability to jump into an existing player's career. Maybe you want to finish off Derek Jeter's Career, or Play through Adrian Gonzalez's Prime of his career, or start off Bryce Harper's career.
-More Accessories and Hairstyles for creating players.
-Daily PreGame show that gets you ready for your game and other games around the league. And PostGame shows to show the highlights and show us the scores of other scores around the league. Then show updated standings and league leaders.

Re: What are u looking for in MLB the show 12 ?

I've wroten this in April but still what I think about franchise mode

Franchise Mode
In your opinion what needs to be changed, added, or tweaked to make this portion of the game better? Along with that what would you like to see more of?

*** Give us the ability to modify divisions (ie put the Brewers back in the AL Central)
OCTOBER EDIT : or put the Astros in the AL WEST

*** Create-a-team which replaces another one (location, name, uniforms)

*** Create-a-team which would be add to a division which means 31 teams I know (so maybe 1 more team to create 2 conferences with 16 franchises)

*** Create-a-stadium if we create-a-team / Create-a-stadium during our franchise.
This feature should allow us to determine :
#1: the field's dimension (left field, left center field, centerfield, right center field, right field but also foul territory with the ability to "draw" it, the depth behind the plate) and its form (is the outfield is straight (as progressive field) or "curve" (as US Cellular field))
#2: the height of the wall (with different height for different zones of the stadium) (as Citi field) and even the possibility to add high wall like the Green Monster
#3: grass or turf / roof or not
#4: obviously the number of rows/seats (which would be related to budget)
#5: positions of the benches / pen / ...
#6: Decoration (like the fountains in KC)

*** Extend players/coaches' contracts during the season

*** Firing coaches/scout/staff during the season

*** More stats (players & teams) & more splits stats (batter vs pitcher, performance of a player vs a team, in a particular stadium, month by month,...)

*** If possible each player vs player stats during the franchise (which tells us if we perform with a specific player vs a specific player or not)

*** Contracts offered, free agent's type (A/B/ nothing) based also on performance and not only related to ratings

*** Rename our franchise save data (if you play like me with a lot of save you certainly keep some save @ some moment of the season like AS break end of each month,...)

*** Promotion (cal up/send down) based on performances for each level (AA/AAA/MLB)

*** Add the possibility to convert players to another position (rather than just editing him)

*** Learn a pitch for a pitcher (rather than just editing him)

*** Add a personnality to players (like Madden 10 did) which influences their choices (for instance, what are they looking for first ? Money ? a ring ? coming back to their birthplace ? neglects small market teams ! never play for a rival or a specific team (do you see A-Rod in a BoSox uniform?) / rival players in the future club / clubhouse cancer like Manny ...)

*** Add a personnality to managers (type of line up : pitching, speed & defense, power, small ball,...)

*** Add a personnality to GM's too. This means going further than just the rebuilding/normal/playoff profile (what do they want ? Obviously if you ask a GM he wants to win so how could he do it ? First making money and then being a contender ? if so, how? marketing, being aggresive on FA to draw a lot of people to the stadium, ...)

*** View stats/awards/winner/standings of the past years.

*** Maybe the overlay of the stats could be like baseball-reference


Thx for reading

EDIT :
*** Each stadium created should be shared between players. This allows people to create old stadiums as some did by creating classic rosters.

*** Give the possibility to discuss the retirement of a player, try to convince him to play one more season. If we fail, we should offer him a job in the organisation.

*** I like the TWIB idea. And maybe we could see some higlights of the games we've simulated during the game we are playing (like "live look-in" on MLB)

*** Give the possibility to edit contract players and salary mass. The custom guys for OSFM rosters could this way change the salaries of each players. (A-Rod is making 30 millions not 14 or 15, ...)

*** Re-do the catcher animations when he has to tag a runner sent home. Too often the catcher enters in slow-mode-animation resulting in run scored whereas he had plenty of time to tag him. Same thoughts on bunts, my guys field it too relax.

*** Maybe involve us on flyball by pressing a button to make the catch. The window should be smaller when a poor fielder try to catch the ball.
On routinee flyball you don't see huge differences because even for bad fielders you can make big windows but on line drive you have a smaller window and catching it would be a reward for each of us playing the game. We could have the feeling of saving a run.

*** Of course, with the news we heard today, yesterday (depends on which part of the world you are ) we'll want the 2 more wild cards and the one game play-off game (I don't like it but that's not the point) ; and if Houston change of conference during the 2013 season in the franchise I'll be happy (though the schedule would be unvealed only next September - maybe SCEA could choose a type of schedule)

Re: What are u looking for in MLB the show 12 ?

One of the old Allstar Baseball games had the best feature that I haven't seen since. The ability to create your own expansion team. They had like 5-6 cities/states to choose from and several different stadiums. You would replace an existing team and could use their roster or do a fantasy type draft. My friend and I spent much of our time creating the team and for me it enhanced my enjoyment and knowledge. It couldn't be that hard to implement because it worked well and that was around 2001. This would be a great idea for a future edition of the show.!
