Re: What Does MLB 13 The Show Need to do Next Year to Satisfy Your Baseball Gaming Ne
Lots of GREAT stuff in here, everyone.
For the sake of not being redundant, here are three suggestions that I haven't read up to this point:
1. The TruBroadcast presentations are marvelous. Well, unless it cuts to a batter. This is when the real time feel becomes cut-scene like. Batter transitions get cut off mid way, so they suddenly are then magically inside the box waiting for the pitch. It's ugly, though it's currently a giant leap on the right direction.
2. More consistent umpire tendencies that stay with each umpire at all times. I want to be able to scout them like I do high schoolers! LOL!
3. More variable weather, such as snow and light fog (hey Yankees fans, how about midges???
). How awesome would this be?
I have more (a lot more) that I'm saving for the official wish list thread. Keep up the incredible suggestions, everyone.Comment

Re: What Does MLB 13 The Show Need to do Next Year to Satisfy Your Baseball Gaming Ne
1. I always abandon RTTS because it's just so predictable and redundant. That's a function of baseball being a really long season, but there's just so much untapped potential in that mode. I hate the "goals" stuff, but I see their function. I would much rather that you improve based on experience, but I can see the logic in the points system. I would like to have some more RPG elements in the game - give me something to do with my money, for one. Let me interact with coaches, agents, other players, etc. Make RTTS feel like you're living the life of a player, not just playing an endless string of games and practices and allocating points after said games and practices.
2. An evolving league, like in OOTP. I understand that some of that stuff is impossible (like moving teams and such), but evolving divisions, rules, and player types would be really cool.
3. I'd do unspeakable things for a hitter's eye system a la MVP. I realize that not everyone likes it, but I would love the option.Comment

Assign a programmer to make manage mode enhancements/fixes. I'd like to see more stats such as showing how batters fare against certain pitchers and vice versa. Do a better job of rating players so they perform more true-to-life. More stadiums, old-time and minor league. Get a contract from MILB so you can include real minor league players.Comment

Re: What Does MLB 13 The Show Need to do Next Year to Satisfy Your Baseball Gaming Ne
I love The Show but there is still a lot it could do to improve;
1) Fix the menus and interface. For instance, transferring players from minors/majors should be able to be done side-by-side, the way you sub players during a game. Checking league leaders involves multiple screens. Just fix the amount of clicks and effort it takes to do simple tasks.
2) I second the MVP batter's eye request. There needs to be a more realistic way to identify pitches, especially with good hitters.
3) Change guess pitch so you don't see the result until the ball leaves the pitcher's hand. That's a lot more realistic.
4) Get pulse pitching results with analog. I love the difficulty of pulse but miss the motion of analog. I would love to have the analog indicator have the same variability as pulse, but with the analog results playing into the accuracy. Maybe have the indicator be a bit jumpy when pitchers don't have great control, are in a pressure situation, etc.
5) Please use a batting indicator for zone that doesn't look like it was ported from the Atari 2600.
6) Playoff mode!
7) Individualize training a little more, kind of the way NBA 2k has practice focus. Right now there's more detail to selling merchandise than actually training your players.Comment

Full branding! Nike,Adidas,Rawlings on cleats,underneath T's and gloves. Also would be nice if you could customize your own billboard advertising in the stadiums. Agree with the majority on commentary. Get that guy from Toronto Buck Martinez and now that 2k is dead,bring over Gary Thorne. That would cure the commentary blues for sure.Comment

Re: What Does MLB 13 The Show Need to do Next Year to Satisfy Your Baseball Gaming Ne
I love #7, I mentioned something along these lines in a thread I made a looong time ago, it would basically be the RTTS training modes incorporated into franchise. The problem is there are 90 players in an organization (wishing for more!) compared to 12(?) in basketball, maybe leave it the way it is now but have it separate for each affiliate, then incorporate the RTTS style training as an opportunity to gain bonus points 5 times a month or something along those lines.
As far as #2, I'm not a fan of the flashing colors since it makes the game more "video-gamey"... Instead, I would like to be able to see noticeable spin differences and release points, with an accompanying deception rating or variable arm speeds based on effort. An all white baseball is a 4-seam, 1 red line is a 2-seam, a red dot is a slider, etc.Bakin' soda, I got bakin' sodaComment

Lag free online play, Classic teams,Classic stadiums, the ability to play a game uder 20 minutes (preferrably 15 minutes or less), new commentary, online play where you can't use the same stud pitcher every time, loosen up the control of your guy on defense, mini games or exapnded "challenges of the week" (sort of like what MVP had)....Comment

Re: What Does MLB 13 The Show Need to do Next Year to Satisfy Your Baseball Gaming Ne
The only thing I would LOVE would be the ability to import my 2012 franchise into 2013. Otherwise, while I will own it -- I will be playing 2012 for probably the next 4-5 years... I committed to playing a 10 year franchise with the Tigers in which I will play EVERY pitch for 10 years.
Lets put it this way -- if there was an option to import my 12 franchise into 13, I'd be willing to pay $100+ for the game, or a good chunk of change if the ability was a DLC I could purchase or something along those lines...
I've never been happier with a baseball game as it is, so my purchase of 13 will more be to reward the developers than out of a need for a new game. If they were able to do this with my save files I would be insanely happy as a consumer.
EDIT FOR BACKGROUND: I still have 3 franchises for MVP Baseball 2005 that are all at least 4 seasons in, every pitch of my team played by me. I'm different than a lot of consumers in that I don't NEED new games and prefer really getting deep into these modes in ways that most never get to experience. Hence, I doubt this would be a priority, but one can always hope. Either way, to the developers, you have made the best baseball game I have ever played and any improvements you make at this point are just toppings on the cake. I only have minor stability issues to gripe about, and I'm sure those will be worked on -- I see the dedication of the developers. Thanks.Last edited by pokerplaya; 05-25-2012, 04:10 PM.I'm just an old guy sports gamer...Comment

Re: What Does MLB 13 The Show Need to do Next Year to Satisfy Your Baseball Gaming Ne
1) "Assumptious" crowd noise - The crowd noise is the main thing that pulls me out of the moment. Assume the home team is batting for these examples. People don't wait to see if the player is safe before they cheer. The main one I notice, is when a runner is on 2nd, and there's a base hit. The crowd in the game doesn't really start cheering until the runner actually touches home. In real life, they'd be cheering the whole time, assuming he would score. Really, a lot of people cheer for a split second on lazy fly balls, because they overreact to the trajectory. I'd like to hear the crowd "assume" what is going to happen, and then "groan" if it doesn't work out that way.
2) Include single-a teams (playable).
3) Rework the potential, progression, scouting, and drafting in franchise.
4) Continue to push the envelope, for the current direction of presentation. Keep piling on top of it. The main things that need help here, are the celebrations. Whether it's a walk-off win in the regular season, a walk-off win in the playoffs, clinching the division, winning the pennant, or winning the world series (club house celebrations would be awesome). All of these situations (and maybe more) need better celebrations, and diversity. We shouldn't see the same celebration all the time.Comment

Re: What Does MLB 13 The Show Need to do Next Year to Satisfy Your Baseball Gaming Ne
I'm not entirely positive on other teams, but I have noticed that many Reds' players use different equipment on the road than at home.
This is the only real thing I've had on my mind since the season started as an addition to The Show next year, being able to pick home/away equipment. Most of this involves the wrist/arm bands and batting gloves, but it could be something cool to have in the coming years.
Really anything that adds to bringing the realism of baseball to the console is fine with me.Comment
