1- create a stadium
2- commentary
3- rainouts-so doubleheaders would occur
4- minor league lisc. so we can have ALL real minor league players even though Knight and Crew do an amazing job every yr!
5- some way to make games go by faster

They need to add a shot of the home team taking the field at the very beginning of the game. Starting the game with the team already on the field always felt off to me.

Also, add more anger animations for bad calls.

Import Franchises and RTTS from one year to the other!
Example: Franchise from MLB 12 imports/continues to MLB 13

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a minor league license, MiLB players aren't unionized so SCEA would have to negotiate with every single player to add their likeness to the game... Now if SCEA added every player on the 40-man roster, that would alleviate the problem somewhat.

Straight from the MLBPA faq:

<fieldset style="border: 1px solid #ccc"> <legend> Q: Who is eligible for membership in the Association? </legend> A: All players, managers, coaches and trainers who hold a signed contract with a Major League club are eligible for membership in the Association. In collective bargaining, the Association represents around 1,200 players, or the number of players on each club's 40-man roster, in addition to any players on the disabled list.

Here's mine...

• Rainouts ( Instead of playing in the rain)
• Fans catching and picking up ball when they pass by ( Not falling over the railing)
• Playoff mode
• You can trade for money
• Better minor league players
• Also, updated batting stances two times a month

I remember MLB 2k8 had a baseball card type thing. Maybe take the collections in DD and tie it in to somehting like that. that would be very neat.

As requested each of the previous three years, TWOplayer Manage Only Mode. I am sure that Knight165 will second this request!

I'd love the ability to edit MLB service time for CAPS. And have the stats generated, or to let us add the stats for real life players. Like if I made Bobby Kielty, or Rey Ordonez, we could plug in service time and career stats so they're not automatically rookies.

Custom seasons, so I can drop the Marlins, Rockies, Rays & D'Backs.

all this plus closed roof version of corresponding stadiums. It's a must now for me !

[LionsFanNJ]

Bettter CAP options. removing players already drafted from the scouting list. Expanded uniform selections.

Along with some of the good selections already mentioned.

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

I think all teams should get 3 diff jerseys. Their current set, and 2 diff old sets(assuming teams have 2 old sets that look diff from each other).

Some teams have it, others dont.


Teams should have an open roof, and closed roof option. I know that it might take up space in the game, but maybe that could just lead to less minor league and spring training stadiums(since this game is called MLB the show, so MLB stadiums should be first priority in space on the disc)

Maybe some minigames as well? Or just more indepth practice modes. Like I suggested in this thread:

I don't think its a space issue, its more of a time issue. Its been mentioned that it takes roughly six months to create one stadium, so maybe SCEA was waiting until they finished all of the retractable roof stadiums before they included them in the game? Of course I have no inside information on what they're doing so anyone's guess is as good as mine...

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

I feel like MLB 12 was very similar to MLB 11, which is okay, but MLB 13 The Show is going to need to make some additions in my opinion.

I realize it's like beating a dead horse at this point lol but commentary needs to be fixed/changed. ESPN or MLB Network integration would be absolutely ideal but I realize this wouldn't be easy to do. Bottom line for me is just no more Vasgersian/Campbell/Karros. I think ESPN or MLB Network would really do a good job in making the experience feel more authentic and real.

Stadium renovations/Create a new stadium/stadium relocation.
This feature should be integrated into Franchise. I realize relocations are rare but it is not uncommon for teams to renovate their stadiums or even build new ones in their current city. Also, we should be able to change teams logos, colors, or uniforms, as the Marlins did in 2011 and the Astros are doing this year.

Weekly "show(s)"/Season Preview
A show reviewing all of the past week's MLB action would be very cool. Something like ESPN's Baseball Tonight would be great. Also there could be another one that discusses trade/transaction rumors/team needs (a la Hot Stove). Preseason could have a short season preview with projected standings, or something like MLBN's 30 Clubs in 30 Days.

A mode similar to Madden Moments or NBA 2k12's The Greatest
I think most fans of the series would enjoy a mode where we could relive the games greatest moments. As a Yankee fan, I'd love to relive moments like Aaron Boone's walk off in the 2003 ALCS, Jeter's 3000th hit, or Roger Maris's pursuit of 61 HRs.

Other miscellaneous requests
-Improve drafting
-Retro teams
-i.e. '01 Mariners, '23 Yankees, '04 Red Sox, '75 Reds, etc.
-Better/less-generic celebrations
-Improved ratings/performance system
-One time I had a rotation of 5 late-30's pitchers with full-overall bars and
an offense with several All-Stars and my team finished sub-.500. Some
would say this is realistic, but I say otherwise. I don't know what the
problem would be behind this sort of problem, but please try to identify it
and fix it.

Thanks
