Hit by pitch are far too low when compared to sim stats as well as MLB for both user and AI

Too easy to not walk anyone. Needs to be a balance to lose control more OUT of the zone and not always over the plate ala meatballs
- On Classic pitching you can get results like this with adjusted sliders.

Call up and send down of minor leaguers based on performance and not just for injuries (too long waiting for this one)

Impossible to field a bunt or weak hit and throw anywhere but 1B. Ridiculous. I should be able to make the occasional force play on the lead runner - don't disagree and a good point.

Foul ball fan interaction is terrible still, and even worse are the repetitive fans who wear the same thing and move at the exact same time

Commentary is only a notch ahead of Hawk Harelson who is basically a collection of pre-progammed phrases himself. I honestly think it's a computer doing his play by play. He terrible and should never be imitated

1B takes too long with pitcher to make routine outs on balls hit to 1B. This should be rare

Thrown out from RF? Never - don't throw it as it is a known bug on 12.

Players should round first more realistically - another good point I would like to see them run through first as well legging out singles. A detail that needs to be in the game.

How do we separate crafty base runners who take an extra base either during play or against a pitcher?

Pick off system is fubar. Way too difficult to take any sort of lead and also too many balls thrown into stands. Need more subtle throws, like in dirt but to 1B still etc - another decent point, it could use more tuning.

Coaching changes during season - yes would be cool

Mental lapses like missing a stop sign (rare)

Add in owners with personalities as well as team GMs. Owners may die, GMs get fired etc

Player suspensions - would be great.

International free agents

Rain delays, makeup games and doubleheaders - would be awesome.

Nagging injuries that reoccur, and an injury history/reputation - would be awesome.

Expansion mode with draft

Weekly lineups for quicker simming

More doubles hit up the lines

MUST incorporate guys with good eyes to get walked more. Maybe its tougher to paint the corners against these guys? Both AI and user...Soriano and Adam Dunn should not have same amount of walks if they were both on my team where I played each game. This is a big one!

Stadium builder for franchise mode and the AI should use it too

Team relocation (rare)

Retractable roofs that work

Too many triples because of stupid OF wall animations

Stadiums should not always look sold out. Lame - they don't. Go play at a last place Brewers stadium....empty seats everywhere. They do this pretty good already.

Starters more stamina, relievers less (recovery for MR is too quick too) - sliders are your friend.

Some guys should be able to play 162 games or close to it. (Durability needs adjusting on high end) - agree

Much much much better stat tracking is needed and for multiple seasons and should be readily available. See OOTP - agree

Exportable stats

A career converter for new versions for us who play each game

More player interactions about their happiness/status

You made some great points, and some I just don't agree with and some are things that will be difficult to implement right away.

But the game plays great overall as most of us know. When we are talking about little things and not core gameplay you know you have an outstanding product.

Exactly what I was thinking

Man... so many of you complain way too much!! 1 thing that NEEDS in the game is what I said about service time in less than 162 game seasons.

Second that will probably never happen but would be so awesome is be able to start in the 70s and go through time to reach the present.

I wish I knew how OOTP can do it but no sports title can do this. Don't use real pictures, don't use real looks...just the names & appropriate stats. It would be awesome but I won't hold my breathe.

I'll be really happy if they fix my first one. This game is better than Madden or NBA 2K or Fifa or anything!!!

Paying $60 bucks for the product allows me to state my concerns, especially when the venue for such is provided. I don't see any of my points as complaining, but areas that I see that can be improved. Of course it is a fantastic game, but not lacking the need for improvement.

I didn't mean you can't state things you'd like to see changed but when somebody comes up with a list of 20-30 things, they're just nit-picking which usually ends in a worse product (see every other sports title). Giving a couple things in which you REALLY want changed/added is very acceptable because we are paying for a service. A lot of these lists are overkill IMO though.

Better and more accurate player ratings, especially attributes, and that goes for pitchers as well.

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

I'd love to see SCEA give the player the ability to turn off ratings, letting us rely solely on stats and such. It's a long shot, but something that I'd love to see.

Also, I know its beating a dead horse, but as I play through my Franchise I can't help but wonder how much this game could use some kind of end of the week wrap up. The Show does a great job of making me feel connected with my franchise, but I often feel out of the loop when it comes to other teams.

1. Would love the sliding to stop at first base for pitchers as they magically glide to first base when you think the runner is going to be safe and they just teleport to get them out, also happens in outfield a lot when you think he will not reach ball and just glides and magically catches it.

2. The ability to better ram people at home. seems like a lot of the time i dont have great control.

3. A hall of fame and retired players page for RTTS and Franchise.

4. Edit player potentials.

5. Be able to move back and fourth the players batter stance. The ability of pitchers to dust players off and saying I am batting I could move guy back a little bit. or forward depending on the pitches.

6. ore variety in crowd.

7. A better Knuckleball.

8. More in game stuff like the wave from fans in crazy moments, maybe more mascot things that are specific to certain teams. and would be cool for more sound effects and little things like 7 inning stretch or boat races, or under the hat things in between innings.

9. MLB tonight would be very cool to have once a week for analysts, if not that then instead of the paper have an MLB.com site replica and have all news and different updates, maybe even a site that scouts players and just random tid bits. Eextreme Wrestling Revenge did a great job on gossip and crazy stuff like this during its career mode. IF not at least include paper news through playoffs.

10. Interviews with players in RTTS and franchise. I want things in there to make it feel more connected, players to have personalities, and chemistry ratings. MVP did this very well where managers would have to have meetings to make players happy or certain teams would just start losing, and this should lead to being able to fire a manager in middle season if he is not keeping team happy.

11. Locker room celebrations. World Series Celebration such as parade and champagne. Maybe even add the shaving cream pie and team mates wearing world series shirts for win.

12. Make the roofs work and if not in franchise be able to control weather in exibition

13. When focusing on key things add players. Madden in older games did this great by picking out on player for each game and talking about him, really adds to it.

The one thing I really want is for MOM to be an Exhibition mode again, not just a Franchise/Season mode. I will be a very happy man if that happens.

Agreed with most

It would be nice to see batting stance/pitcher delivery edits transfer from one roster to another like walkup music.

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

This is my first year playing the show, and I must say, It is way better than the 2k series. With that being said, its not perfect, can't thin of any sports games that are, but it has room to improve. The thing I want to see the most, is a complete player card like 2k has. So you can see the players complete stats year by year, awards, and what not. Also I prefer number ratings more, i think its better to give a number rating so that you can tell who is better, Instead of this pitcher is an A and this hitter is an A, virtually neither has the upper hand. Maybe the most disappointing thing is the unrealistic CPU trades, I like that CPU teams can make trades, but these are trades that would never happen. I love the realistic feel to the game but that is such a let down in the game.

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

I went through 20 pages and haven't seen anyone talk about the DRAFT. Its horrible, unrealistic and takes all the fun out of Franchise mode for me! It needs to be more like OOTP. There should be 15+ rounds and an signing period where you actually have to negotiate with them. There should also be an International Free agent signing period. You should be able to scout and sign them.( Few should be MLB ready, while most have to spend years in the minors to develop.)
Last I would like to see a Face Scan system like PES has to give to RTTS players so we can actually look like ourselves in the game, as well as minor league players so they can actually look like themselves( If you use a roster that actually has real minor league players names such as Knights).

I would love to see a call game rating in this game. Some guys call a great game and others welll, dont do as well. MVP had this and was awesome. Made you really think about who u had behind the plate.

[Cavicchi]

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

A tutorial on Classic pitching, like what are you supposed to do.
