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

    I would like to see an option to use any of the following Home-Run records as the default record in my season:

    Ruth...60 HR's

    Maris...61 HR's

    McGwire...70 HR's

    Bonds...73 HR's

    My Big Klu Roster is mostly 1950 to 1969 players so I would set Roger Maris's 61 HR's as the record to beat.

      The player are exceptionally real looking, now the have to act real. Sometimes the game feels to robotic, and the batting stances and windups are really robotic. Look at Zack Cozart for instance.http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/search/media****p?player_id=446359 He does a lot of stuff with the bat before going into his batting stance, and one more thing is that some of them dont look like they are trying to pitch. Look at Verlander in game. He looks like he's lobbing it, they just don't act real.

        Honestly, the only thing I really am looking for in next year's game is for SCEA to remove the late-inning strike zone shrinking and inopportune errors that conveniently allow the user or CPU to make the game competitive.

          Don't know if it's been said, but having batting practice before a game in franchise would be nice.

            For me some of the things that MLB 13 The Show needs to satisfy are the following!


            1. Fix the Out fielders arm strength because they are too strong! And also add a new slider just for Out Fielders Arms Strength. This really needs to be adjusted because there are so many times when I hit a ball to the out field wall and the batter is so easily thrown out by a mile at second base. When these same kind of hits happen in real life more times then not the batter is safe at second! Now I kind understand maybe with a big guy like Ryan Howard how the play at second would be close but even Howard would be safe at second in real life on these same kind of hits that he is getting thrown out in MLB 12 The Show. This is a big issue in my opinion and keeps MLB The Show from playing like real baseball. This problem really makes the user change the way you would normally play the game of baseball. What I mean by that is in real life a batter would almost always head to second on all these kind of hits to the out field wall. But because of this huge issue I now usually keep my batter at first because more then likely he would be thrown out at second base. Unless the batter is one of the super fast guys and even then it more then likely would still be a close play at second base! This issue is also probleby the reason why its still too easy to throw batters out running to first base!

            This issue really does change the way you run the bases compard to real life and gives me so many moments when I just want to throw my PS3 controller out the window in disbelief! Anyway I just really would love to see this issue fixed or at least improved a heck of a lot in MLB 13 The Show!


            2. Some other gameplay improvments I would love to see? CPU batters not bunting as much especially in situations where they should not be bunting. Like for example I have seen the CPU try and do back to back bunts with 2 batters in a row. Or bunting with the bases loaded.

            3. Also although improved from MLB 11 I still would like to see all the fielders be able to scoop up the ball and throw it quicker. Especially in situations that really need a quick throw! Just one example that still happens say a ball is hit down to third base to the right of the third basemen a lot of times he takes un needed extra steps before throwing the the ball away and sometimes this allows the runner to be safe. Now I guess this could be a user controlled problem but it needs to be improved so the user can pull off quicker throws when needed.


            4. The new ball physics in MLB 12 are great however they can still be improved even more. For example there are way too many high bounce foul balls around home plate that look like pop ups! This really need to be fixed.

            5. The CPU Manager Bull Pen logic still have lots of room for improvment! Like for example a lot of times I have seen a starting pitcher throwing a no hitter into the 6 or 7th inning with a pretty low pitch count and as soon as he gives up 1 or 2 hits the CPU manager pulls him and brings in the bull pen pitcher.

            As far as other parts of the game I would like to see improved are.

            1. Would like to see the broadcast presentation to continue to improve!

            Would still like to see better Stat overlays shown like for example when a batter hits a Home Run I wantt to see "Home Run Ryan Howward 24th This Season" when the batter is rounding the basees or even crossing Home Plate would be fine too. Would also like to see the scorebar at the top of the screen changed a little bit by adding 3 dots the number of outs instead of having it say 1 out. I also would like for the pitch count to be shown all the time some where on the screen. I think either on the top scorebar or that thing with the pitch type and locatioon would be a good place to display the pitch count.

            2. I also would like the crownd noise to see a improvment again. I want them to be smarter and knowing when to be loud or quiet and when to boo or cheer. Would also like to hear a lot more organ music playing at the appropriate times because this brings the game to life and makes it more exciting and realistic!

            3. I really would like to see a Mode like 2K's MLB Today feature added!

            3. Would love a Playoff Mode added!

            4. Would love to see all the grass and dirt get an upgrade in look and color in every statium.

            4. Still hoping to see Bat Boys bring batters new bats when they break instead of having the batting coaches do it. Also have them pick up the bats laying down at home plate like how 2K does it in real time!

            5. Also would like to see Ball girls and ball boys sitting on chears down the first and third base lines! And handing and flipping foul balls to the crownd.

            6.And last but not least more STAT STATS STATS!!

            There is more I could add to this list but I do get very tired of repeating myself over and over every again every year.

            Thanks for your time and looking forward to MLB 13 The Show!

              Commentary still needs work. I was playing a game last night and a This Date In Baseball history popped up, mentioning Ken Griffey Jr.'s first career HR. That was proceeded by dead silence. Why not have the 3 guys talk about Junior during that time?

              Need more stat overlays.

                Improving scouting tools. The game lacks scouting of teams you play.

                  To me priority is having finally 2 versions of those stadiums with a closing roof. No need to have it closing and opening during a game.

                    It bothers me to no end to see the bullpen guys in the dugout during the game. Obviously I don't mean the bullpen guys who pitched in the game and were taken out; the bullpen guys who haven't pitched yet I'm referring to when the camera takes a cut scene into the dugout.

                    And commentary/stat overlays/presentation in general. Camera angles are great but need 2k type presentation.

                      -create a stadium
                      -create an expansion franchise, where u build a stadium design unis etc and draft your team for offline play, this is different from diamond dynasty
                      -more throwback uniforms
                      -umpire reports for strike zones
                      -make the cpu balk once in awhile. haven't seen it in over 300 games
                      -ability to relocate franchise and re design uniforms stadium (ties in with above)
                      -more classic stadiums available
                      -wear proper uniforms for all star game not generic batting practice jerseys

                        Haven't read through the whole thread, but as a player who is constantly messing with the rosters I hope we can get an edit system similar to what the 2k series had. L/R splits for pitchers and a defensive value attached to EACH position for one player.

                          Change the Commentators, get some good ones who I can actually stand.

                          In RTTS make it so you can block trades, or just an option at the beginning similiar to franchise, where you can turn all trades off

                            Revamp defensive controls.
                            Since the High Heat days where I could throw the ball around the horn after making an out, I just haven't felt connected to playing defense in a baseball video game. Getting jumps on balls in the outfield, better footwork that gets you to the ball, rounding out a groundball or going to the backhand. I'm not sure how to make defense more interactive, but it's stale. And I want it to feel as exhilerating as a 10 pitch at bat does.

                            Roster Vault that works in Franchise.
                            When the draft rolls around, I get sad that I can't upload all the great created players from the draft into my franchise. I want the Sox to have their 2 arms from Florida. The Pads to have their new HS shortstop. Etc. etc. MLB the Show gives you more options than any other franchise, and incorporating this would be the icing on the cake.

                            More Weather
                            True rainouts in franchise. Dropped fly balls in right field at Fenway because of glaring sun rays. Better rain variety in games, with affects on the game. This would be really, really cool.

                            More Minor League Parks
                            McCoy Stadium so we can play at "mini Fenway" if you're a AA Sox prospect in Portland. And others, please

                            Phiten necklaces
                            I know, I know. But when the game makes every player look so authentic, adding in these stupid things would make it all the more real to life. Lester gets his camo combo, all team colors, etc.

                            More Hair options for created players
                            Dreads, long hair, more modern haircuts ... hair is still very limited with created players.

                              I'm sure it's been mentioned, but after playing about 100 games so far the frequency of rally killing / inning ending double plays (for both HUM and CPU) are not only frustrating, but kind of predictable...

                              Other than that, very solid gameplay IMHO...

                                For Pitchers there needs to be strengths for Lefties vs. Righties..hitters have it so why not pitchers. Lineup logic.. I hate seeing the CPU adjusting the lineups I set, just plain horrible. The ability to edit players hair and facial hair, Im sure there is some type of stupid license, if not give of this option. better uniforms (throwbacks). Single A playable teams with a larger franchise roster space. Most of all get rid of the release a player and have to wait 2 days for a team to pick them up! I hate that logic!
