I was just talking along the lines of mass roster management tools, or at least more efficient options. Of course you'd know better than anyone, but it's a huge pain trying to manage your own rosters with the current setup, at least in comparison to older games and other games out there. I get the argument for checks and balances, but there's no reason they have to be applied every step of the way.

They could set it up to where you are given free reigns to easily move players everywhere, BUT, that a mass-check is applied when you're done, and you don't get to leave the roster sub-menu (or save) until your rosters meet the game's specifications.

I agree that the user interface can be given some more love in the roster/stats department. The way things are laid out there are a lot of repetitive input we need to do. Something like a mini-spreadsheet would be a fine addition...

i would love the see ball caps being interchangable. like if the orioles sign prince, when he is on the jumbo tron having him wear an o's hat instead of a brewers cap. also a full playable a ball team would be nice.

What I'm looking for is for Created Players to have their pictures be a photo with them with their Home Uniform and Hat on. And for a created player's card, give us the ability to enter a game, view an instant replay, take a snapshot of that player and use it for that player's player card.

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

I would like to see:

Improved player models
better individual specific animations, player specific swings, pitch motions etc
better stadium specific graphics. For example Dodger stadium foul ground updated look.
Mid season roster updates
MLB today type feature
Minor league stadiums
More organic feel even if the animations are LESS smooth. It's a little auto pilot for me right now.
Improve the analog sticks and use a new pitching routine.
Statistics tracking and sorting improvement
Better ball off bat animations

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

one of the biggest thing i'm looking for is midseason roster updates in franchise mode like MLB 2k11 had. Another thing I give props to 2k11 was there updates on players. I feel like the show takes a while to update a young players ratings/

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

less counts that go 12 pitches deep. id put cpu foul frequency down to zero but i always end up having to throw 7 pitches to the batter, regardless to who it is

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

i need to see them fix the changeup vs. fastball speed gap for rosters.

the differerence isn't supposed to be more than several mph for most pitchers in real life.

also with the changeup pitch movement needs to be made more realistic. a batter is supposed to be faked out by a hair, timing wise, in swinging the bat caused by the pitcher's fastball-like arm speed, but in the game the changeup, the baseball slows down as it approaches closer to the plate, cheesy and rather 1990!

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

I just want better animations, better sound, and GRASS that is like the GRASS in real stadiums. I want the stadium to resemble the stadium I watch games in. As it is now Target Field looks like some kind of muted dump and OH GOD I am so curious to see if the player's trust sign is gone in left field as the iconic Budweiser sign sits there and if it is not removed you can say NO 2012 for me and that is that. No more will I play a game with such shoddy adverts that totally ruin the stadium.

The royals and other teams have signs that resemble real signs, and 2K has had a sign that resembles it since 2 years ago I believe. Grass patterns are also pretty important to me because we all see them and they don't change that much. At least give us a choice between a few for the season. I want to feel like I am in the game and grass/dirt/ players and their animations are too important to only do marginal updates. I am not asking for 1080p and 4k textures here.

I would love this also!

But unfortunately I heard its a lot harder then it would seem to implement.

Would be nice because I really hate seeing a player on the Jumbotron in the wrong Cap!

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

Not a deal breaker by any means, but something I thought of today that I'd like to see...

More life added to the pitcher. What I mean by that is when you are pitching (or hitting for that matter), once you pitch the ball and the catcher throws it back you go right back to a statuesque stance and don't move until you're ready to make the next pitch. After the batter takes a pitch or swings and misses he (most of the time) steps out of the box and goes into his little Mike Hargrove routine. In the meantime, I see the pitcher just stand there motionless until the batter's done his thing and steps back in the box. I think it would be nice to add as much life and quirks/personality to the pitcher in between pitches as they did with the batters.

It'd be nice to see in either 12 or 13's edition.

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

Commentary is obvious and all the other comment are great, but how about a detail fly over of each stadium, show some team batting practice and pre-game sounds before the game starts to get you on the mood so to speak

**dodgerblue** · 12-05-2011, 11:39 PM

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

I'd like to see greater differences between pitchers. When I'm hitting it doesn't seem to matter who I face it's about the same. When I'm pitching too, not a real big difference between the ace and the 3-5th starter.

Also, I know this can be tweaked but it seems like the velocity is too high. Guys throw in the mid-high 90's too frequently.

Also games feel like they occur in a vaccuum. Make the game feel like it's part of what is going on in your baseball universe. Flash stats more frequently. Regular season games shouldn't feel like it's still spring training.

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

1. The fountain go off in Comerica after a Tigers homerun and when the Tigers take the field.
2. Better logic on the cat and mouse game of base steeling. It feels stale.
3. Create a Player stat history. Should be able to create a veteran and input stats.
4. User selected music during the post game highlights.

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

More classic stadiums. I would love to have a round of Move BP in old Tiger Stadium. Something about that right field upper deck.

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

I agree, should be able to create a player and not have him be a rookie.
