A few things I'd like to see.

1. An option for open or closes roof. It doesn't need to retract during the game just perhaps the option for it to be opened or closed before you start thje game (in franchise mode specifically). Another way this could work is through weather. For example it rains quite a bit in Seattle and according to Russell he said the game has weather patterns according to time of year so if it's a franchise game and it's raining in Seattle then the option should already be pre-set to closed. The Diamondbacks rarely have the roof open during the summer months so it would be nice to have that option to have the roof closed or at least have it pre-set. Obviously a few other teams have retractable roofs and they could also be used as the few examples above.

2. An option in the editor for home/away equipment. Batting gloves mostly.

3. Edit service time when creating a player/editing a fake player.

4. In the front end have the ability to add and drop players from/to the Free Agent list WITHOUT having to swap him for another player.

5. Add minor league contracts with invitation to spring training when signing a player in franchise mode.

I've asked before, but pleeeease add a "player finder" feature. It would be great to simply type in a players name and have the game find him instead of having to scroll thru hundreds and hundreds of players. That would be great.

I have three things that could use improvements;

1) Stealing - The button controls to release a guy to steal are very difficult. One button to increase lead, one to decrease/diveback and one to steal as soon as you press it to try and time the pitcher delivery.

2) Off season Life - Insert some winter negotiation stories, rumors on where guys could be going, contract negotiations and maybe some speculation on players health. Just some offseason analysis to get through the off season tasks.

3) Throwing - I think this is in the works, but a better throwing mechanism to give more control on risk/reward for playing it safe or gunning down a runner.

Other than that, this is a great game and the only one I buy every year.

Love to MoM! I often think the addition of "auto-hit" is all it would take to make this mode worthwhile.

I'm sure it's been mentioned but now with scouting and development being a more promo ate feature making the draft and off season more in depth, I'd like to see spring training be treated the same.

I think it would be cool to have players start spring training with some skills such as contact, vision/discipline and the fielding attributes are "handicapped" and as you progress (both with more AB's and success) that you could potential start the season on a hot streak or a cold streak or nutural Also, before you start you can select some players to work on fielding and switch positions or add secondary positions.

For pitchers you have to "stretch them out" by giving them innings to increase their stamina and work on control, break and mph. Also the ability to convert RP to starters or starters to closers ( stretching out a RP adding to his stamina and taking a starter and working on a deadly secondary pitch or add a pitch and increase clutch to become a closer type).

I think this should be an option for those who want to play ST and if people want to skip it and go right to the regular season everything just starts neutral

Two words:

Working weather

Two more:

Rain Cancellations

Three more:

Make it optional

All this won't make sense if no closed roof versions of Houston,Arizona,Miami, Toronto, Seattle and Milwaukee. Don't need closing transition, just the option to play on one of those. They made DLC of Classic Stadiums, I don't mind to pay 5$ for those as well.

I would like to see fewer dropped third strikes.

If we can edit contracts in a better way, i may never play another game.

Something I really want to see improve in the series is the CPU's perfect execution and awareness on hard to judge plays. Here is an example of the CPU giving up on a fly ball way too early in anticipation to play the ball off the wall. No human player would give up on it that early. Also on foul balls that are very close to the stands, the CPU will not even move because it knows it is foul before the situation even develops.

Agree there are too many I think.

IMO more of a result on the player, dont swing problem fixed

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

Please give us a way to see how many pitches a pitcher has thrown when attempting to pinch hit for him in the later innings. There is nowhere to find this info.

I dont know how many times I will be checking an opposing pitchers pitch count and its up in the 120+ pitch range. This needs to be fixed for realism.

This is a fantastic idea and is really needed!

I see a lot of what could not be considered a wild pitch or a passed ball resulting in a dropped third strike. These aren't balls in the dirt either the comp or I swung at and missed.
