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

How often do curtain calls happen in real though...

Not very often, IMO.

1- Just get rid of the sweat on the hats. It looks downright silly on managers and guys on the bench, also on all players when it's 48 degrees outside in the game. Only a small fraction of players sweat through their hats anyway, even on the hottest days of the summer.
2- Open/closed roof option. Seeing fans at Minute Maid Park wearing hats, vests and sweatshirts is not very realistic. I've read that that would be hard to do and take a lot of memory, well, there are probably 5-6 minor league/spring training stadiums that people would gladly sacrifice for 5-6 closed roof versions of stadiums.
3- Cleaned up franchise menu/interface. It just seems very cluttered and isn't pleasant to the eye. In the manage roster section, I'd love to see a number at the top of the screen giving me a count of the players in that screen. For example, if I move on my roster to 'Right Fielders', I'd love the number of players in that specific category to be on the screen/tab. I hate moving players around on my roster and having to scroll and count the players in order to comply with the 25-man and 40-man limits. It would be so nice to tab over to the 'ACTIVE MLB' tab and immediately see that I have 26 guys on there, and know that I have to send one guy down.

These are very nit-picky, which is a testament to how great this game is. Except for the open/closed roof option, the others seem like easy changes to make. I really can't wait for MLB 13. I totally trust the developers and truly believe that they do their best on this game every year. I can't say that for any other sports game.

I would like a mlb franchise/season mode home page similar to 2k where you get headlines from around the league on that screen. You then can select a headline which opens the box score for that game or opens the players card if it's relating to a milestone/injury for example.

With this, they wouldn't be able to be in since they aren't licensed by the MLB with Majestic, those were made by Ebbets Field Flanels.

I apologize in advance if this has already been addressed, but has anyone else wondered why pine tar covers the bottom half of the bat? In real life it's more visible in the middle in-between the handle and the barrel. Just something that's kinda bugged me.. See pictures below as examples.

See George Brett.

I think that they need to put in some kind of arguing!!!!
If MVP baseball comes out then there are going to be a lot of people going to buy that over the show because that and other small details. Other changes like changing the appearances and having more apparel or accessories to add to players. Having different kind of webbings in the gloves. Having actual name brand sunglasses or batting gloves or arm bands or cleats. Yes like other people are saying have more crowd reactions to big plays or postseason runs. Starting out in single-A for road to show. Having player aguing or manager arguing. It says on the show now that people can get ejected, but i have not seen one person get ejected besides getting ejected after hitting 4 batters in a row. Everybody having there customized batting or pitching stance. Getting new broadcasters cause you have had the same since like 09. Get joe buck, joe morgan, terry francona, orel hershiser, nomar garciaparra, aaron boone, rick sutcliffe any of these guys would be awesome. Just trying to give you guys some little things to change that would be great for the game. Also the catcher equipment looks horrible because the gear makes the catcher look fatter, MLB 2k12 showed you guys up on that one, because there catchers look real and the actually have real stances. Also put in some kind of jewelry like some phitens or silver or gold chains.

MVP had arguing before they made rules against it.

There is a reason it was removed from 2K and The Show doesn't have it. MLB won't allow it.

MLB The Show12 is hands down THE best version ever released.
MY WISHES

1. keep the base game as is, it's great!
2. fix the small quirks
3. update the stadiums
4. specific Stadium Sounds
5. If ever possible, one day, I'd love to be playing a game at Turner Field and and here the Braves announcers. I'm sure it's easier said than done. Still, it'd be nice.

Oh and some of the not so older Bowl Stadiums, i.e.
Fulton Co. Stadium

One thing I would really like as far as options go there is really only one thing I can think of. I would like the option on the mound to pick whether I want to pitch from the stretch or the wind up.

I had I game last night where I was getting hammered and my confidence was gone. The bases were loaded and the pitcher I was using had a real short pitch { I use analog for everything} on the stretch. Well nobody was going to steal and I really just want to get the out and would have really liked to just pitch from a full windup to get my game back.

Fantastic idea.

1- Diamond dynasty ... want to see career stats not just stats for a 5 gm season.. totally useless.. either show career stats on walkups or make the seasons longer..

---not a fan of the ranking system in DD .. to lose 20 points for a loss when your getting 2-5 a game is a bit harsh

---the option to play now in DD with Guess pitch off

2- Online ... for the past 2 yrs you have awarded the people who play 12 hours a day and have no jobs .. keep 1st inning quits gone and bring back the ranking system of 2010...

--- Have some pride and fix the bugs you create every year... The catcher freeze bug was happening in March and was never fixed.. Kudos on fixing rf assists... Although they still happen more then they should its way less then it was in March .. sucks that we have to deal with a new set of bugs every year.. hopefully now that the new physics engine is in place they wont have to change too much with the gameplay in 2013 creating less bugs

Seeing players sign autographs before the game would be cool. I also liked the little shot of the locker room after the game a few years ago. That was nice.

Re: What Does MLB 13 The Show Need to do Next Year to Satisfy Your Baseball Gaming Ne

Probably echoing many others with my wishlist but :

1. New progression system. At least have some random progression, like an A potential never progressing. The main issue with it is how slow progression takes. For example, Ryan Braun played briefly in the minors before coming up and he was instantly the best hitter on the Brewers. In the game, he wouldn't make it to that level for 6-7 years or more. An easy solution is to just have some A potential guys who just take off quickly.

I've traded for A potential players who were 24-25 thinking I would be able to insert them right in the rotation or starting lineup the following year, but they just progress so slowly.

2. Redesigned off season and draft presentation. There is nothing exciting about the draft or the offseason menus. I would love if they could incorporate a winter meetings feel to the offseason, something like texts and emails coming in from other GMs and media. Discussion of big trades and signings. Maybe a preview show discussing who the top free agents are and where the analysts think they will end up. Anything to freshen up the offseason and draft.

3. Atmosphere . I still don't think they are quite there with the atmosphere of baseball. The World Series still feels like a regular game, a sellout still feels like a game with 15,000. In my franchise I just won the World Series in the bottom of the 9th down 3-1. Tied the game at 3 and with the bases loaded hit a walkoff double to win the series. The place should have been going nuts, really loud with the screen shaking and the announcers getting excited. Instead it was just a routine double, the announcers never mentioned anything about a walkoff or winning the World Series and the players barely celebrated. Feels anti climactic and doesn't really make you want to get to the World Series again to experience the atmosphere.

With those 3 changes, the game would be absolutely perfect in my opinion.
