Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

[LastActionHero]

1. MLB Today feature
2. An in game save for these games and all exhibition games.

Add these 2 things and I won't need any other game...ever.

i think what would make this game really good is if we added historical teams similar to what 2k did with 2k13. maybe even some negro teams would make this game for me (being the sports fan i am) really fun and entertaining.

Some of the user-created players are so good that if the game just allowed us to create an individual team (rather than an entire roster set) we could get these historical teams in the game without licensing issues.

Fix online lag, historical teams would be nice, on screen stat and player attributes so I can that information with out hitting pause, streamline the game play and or presentation so I can play a 9 inning game under 20 minutes, how about an XP system that rewarded solid or great plays or performing in clutch moments??? that's what I would do.

[misterkrabz]

oh one more thing, break the canned animations and give the player complete control of their fielders. The players still get pulled in the catch circle and it's really annoying.

Has to be the addition of more cameras. I would love to make a user-defined fielding cam or at the very least, choose from 5 or 6 new ones. I play auto-fielding, so angles don't much matter to me. I want to see more ball flight and more of the field (like a guy sitting in the 2nd deck).

Batting option like pro-yakyu spirits would be cool, but not necessary if they keep tweaking the current physics.

Keep improving RTTS....think NBA 2k13 but not necessarily with all the fluff...just the RTS type stuff...like improving skills.

The Show is great. They need to add more in-depth stats this year and I wish they would add a sim engine like OOTP where you could play a game and sim the game batter by batter until a certain point and then play an inning; then sim an inning, then play an inning. etc. Also, when you save in-game, all relevant stats and the Game Log should be visible from the 1st Inning onward.

5. Cursor batting mode
4. Start your franchise from the day after the World Series ends
3. Home Run celebrations in fast play
2. Player movement slider (instead of trades on/off)
1. Generated count option (must have!!!)

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

Lots of good ideas here, and a few I wouldn't be interested in. I would like more effort put into Manage Mode and a player search feature . Mostly, I would like to be able to easily copy stats, standings, etc into html files for transfer to a pc.

Stadium tours! Stadium tours! Stadium tours! For me and a LOT of other people, the thing that defines a franchise is the stadium they play in. They are as alive as any of the players. I think adding a free roving camera so we can pan around the stadiums and look at all the details, nooks, and crannies would be an amazing thing. How great would be be to float the camera around to see what someone sitting atop the Green Monster at Fenway would see? I remember one of the Tony LaRussa PC games from the early-mid 90s had this and when I saw All Star baseball, I believe it was in '04 had this I bought the game for THAT single reason. The art department at San Diego Studios does an amazing job with the stadiums and they should be able to show off their work as well as provide the fans an opportunity to have a detailed look at the countless hours that gets put in to designing these stadiums for the game. Many of us will never get to go to most MLB stadiums and this might be as close as most of us ever get to "tour" these.

I've been begging for this for years since this has been the ONLY baseball game I've played since '07 and the reason I originally bought a PS3. I cant imagine it would be too difficult since we have the camera mechanics that stay on the field and float around for the replays. Just add it to be able to go through the entire stadium pre game or in a stand alone mode.

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

I know this is beating a dead horse but has anyone heard anything about them adding more stats on there career card? I have heard the last few years it being said ''next year they will try'' but it's been the same since the show first came out.

That's my top wish for the game and really the only wish everything else about the show is almost life like

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

I know this is mentioned every year but I would still love to see a way where we can download our own player headshots so we don't have to see a guy in a different uniform when traded, signed, etc. Pry won't happen but that is why it is called a WISH list!

Going off of this.... It would be awesome to be able to download a picture of yourself in the game for RTTS. With my guy playing on the Rockies I could put on a Rockies hat, jersey, black undershirt and it would look like a legitimate picture.
That would be awesome.

1) Spring Training preview show

2) Monthly Around The League Wrap Up Show

3) Rain Delays/Rain Outs - in a rain delay situation a random amount of time can determine if your starter can stay in or get cold (for example a 2 plus hour rain delay causes your starter to lose effectiviness and make you decide to either go with him or put in a new pitcher) Rain outs cause double headers to be played.

4) Generated Pitch counts - Although I would rarely use it....that is a great idea to speed through more games vs simming them. I remember that feature from High Heat and it was cool.

5) More dynamic Play by Play and Color - We all know it's needs a new coat of paint, but also the stat swipes and match up stats would be great. I thought 12 made some nice additions and 13 can build on it.


13 is a day one purchase without a doubt. It is the only sports game I will pay full retail for at this point.

It would be nice if they would get Great American Ballpark right after 5 years....that would be really nice.
