What Does MLB 13 The Show Need to do Next Year to Satisfy Your Baseball Gaming Needs?

[soxfan603]

Here's my list of must-haves. These are no-brainers yet year after year The Show doesn't have these features and it leaves me scratching my head:

-Playoff Mode

-Expansion Mode or Create a Team for Franchise

-Rainouts, rain delays, doubleheaders, stadium roofs opening and shutting (Seattle, Milwaukee, ect)

-Real dynamic crowds. Empty stadiums if the home team sucks. Playoff atmosphere in the post season. Right now I can't tell the difference between a Pirates-Nationals regular season game and a Yankees-Sox playoff game.

-More Walks. I can't draw a walk to save my life. If I get 1 every 5 games I'm shocked. The opposing pitchers don't throw balls very often

I'm not sure how anyone else feels about this but here is a small enhancement that I think would do wonders graphically. BTW, I say "small enhancement" but I truly don't know how hard it would be to implement.

Anyway, I have always thought the game looked great graphically except in one particular area. The baseball. Ever foul a ball off that hit off the catcher and rolled to one side? To me the ball looks 2 dimensional. What I would love to see if it wasn't hard to do, and would give them a bit more oomph, is a better 3d model of the baseball. Basically the way the spinning ball looks on the load screen. If that could be implemented into the game, to me that would add more to the realism.

Small gripe but hopefully I am not the only one that would like to see that enhancement.

I would like to see the Create-A-Team be an option in Franchise and Season combined with some kind of a Creat-A-Ballpark.

This game absolutely needs an MLB Today/Season Mode. Make that happen, and I don't think I'd ever stop playing.

Also, as always, I'd love to see more work done with weather... i.e. cold weather breath from players, etc.

Better commentary, something that sounds less than scripted as hard as it might be.
Contract incentives in RTTS, contract goals and such.
Expansion mode
Playoff mode
A "live" franchise that reflects real MLB stats and rosters, except for the games that you played.

It's like you read my mind

I should also add in-game saves for Exhibition games (and the potential MLB Today games ).

Fran....chise.

Feeling incredibly stale now in terms of presentation, fonts and other details.

Its time for a major revamp (note i didnt say upgrade, as its a deep mode already).

that about sums it up right there.

oh and the commentary needs to go.
did Dave Campbell sign a 15 year video game deal? lol

Franchise Mode: Time for complete rebuild of Franchise mode.

Commentary: Get rid of Eric Karros. Throw out all the old commentary and start over.

How about recreating Classic Seasons such as 1927 or 1955 WITH, , each teams classic stadiums as they were in that season.

FYI, Wrigley Field at one time had no bleachers. And Crosley Field had fans sitting in fair territory.

I've send Aaron(SCEA) the list....it's probably 8 pages long.
But in a nutshell.
Franchise.

The big ticket items...
New potential and progression systems.
New draft system.
New scouting system.

Things I would love to see...but are secondary.

Offline custom league setup.
Highlight show
Radio show focusing on YOUR franchise while you're in the GM menus.

Care to expand on these Knight? Is the progression your number/letter system? Separate the IFA's from the amateur draft? Signable 16 and 17 year old international prospects?

What I sent him as a request?(those ideas I sent were mine AND a ton from O.S. members that posted in threads)
Yes...the letter/number potential/probability system.
I don't know what THEY have in mind though as far as ANY changes.
