Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

-Closed roof version of those 6 stadiums having one
- Batting practice before a game and maybe a starting pitcher warmup ( I mean here just pitching from the bullpen). Those 2 don't add to the gameplay by itself but add to immersion
- A better uniform creation tool with at least one custom slot for each team
- more different animation when hitting HR ( specially interaction with 3B coaches)
- reduce runners sidestep range. Little increase would add more to the cat & mouse game with pitchers
- less wild pitches when pitchers trying to throw a runner out to 1st ( doesn't mean more good pitch to 1st though)
- variable weather during a game ( temp drops, wind velocity and direction variations, rain stops or starts
- pitchers motion not as smooth as seen on TV
- better 1st baseman reaction after last out of an inning ( seems to freeze for a sec sometimes)

I would love classic teams. Any if the A's teams from late 80's, 84 Tigers, 86 Mets with correct uniforms and stadiums.

Other things I wish for:
1) More classic uniforms and stadiums
2) Day-night Double headers
3) Trophy for playing entire 162 game season without simming
4) CoMericas fountains that work and Tigers eyes flash green on scoreboard after HR
5) Mini Games like HR derby with targets (ala MVP)
6) home and away gear. Choice of different colored cleats etc
7) Ability to give created players career stats so they aren't always rookies

1) I'd like to be able to edit the potential of an existing player; specially if I previously created him.

2) I'd like to be able to import rosters, or at least players, from previous versions of The Show. I spent countless hours creating hundreds of all time greats and came up with an enormously fun historical roster and I'd love to be able to import the players into the next version of The Show next year.

3) I'd like to see the pitch count somewhere on the main screen. I constantly monitor pitch count of my pitcher, and the opponent's pitcher, and to do this I have to pause and go to a different screen. It would be very useful if the pitch count was a small inconspicuous graphic somewhere on the main screen (perhaps near the pitch selection graphic).

4) I'd like to see a player search feature. When creating or updating rosters I find myself looking for certain players and it's fairly time consuming. It would be really nice if if I could bring up a dialog, type in a player's name, and it would take me to that player and the roster he is on.

5) I'd like to be able to search for a player in the vault by name and see all the results that matched the search criteria. Currently I can order by position, date, creator, etc but finding a specific player by their name is not easy.

I believe that the changing weather already happens. I know for a fact that temps and wind change throughout the game and it always seems to me as if the rain goes from light to hard throughout the game as well. I love the idea of the closed roofs from retractable stadiums and the pitcher sidestep motion. However if they do the retractable roofs then they need to do them right, make it where the ball carries more or less with roof closed compared to open. Those would help the game a lot both graphics and gameplay wise.

Can MLB PLEASE implement the hitting mechanic from MVP??? That would make hitting so much more fun that it currently is.

That is my only complaint with this game. It is damn near perfect otherwise in my eyes.

1. RTTS expansion:hype up the draft, more off field and off season interaction
2. Connected Career type mode- after RTTS, choose to become manager/ coach, and do that, working you way up to GM which would start a franchise mode within RTTS.
3. Offline/Online Build-a-team WITH FULL stadium creator, such as wall height, stadium fancies, and scoreboard type
4. Licensed Apparel : if possible at least Nike, Addidas, UA, New Balance, Louisville SLug, and Rawlings
5. Allow the editing of potentials for created players

Customizable league sizes. Classic stadiums from 1970-2000. Importing old rosters from 2012. More options on hair options era specific, (flat top, Afro, high top fade.). Also stirrup socks that don't start at your knees or ankles maybe mid calf.

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

I don't know if it was suggested, but I'd like to be able to choose between a specific pitching motion's wind-up or stretch.

I'd love to see a playoff mode. One where I could set the teams according to the real playoffs if I wanted and play every game.

I'm probably in the minority with this one.

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

1. AL and NL players of the week/month.

2. More celebration animations.

3. Regular season stats during walkups in the playoffs (long overdue)

4. Disappearing minor league stats when players are promoted is kinda annoying and vice versa (when going from AAA to AA). Would love to see this addressed.

5. Improved AI baserunner logic (i.e., odd pinch running decisions, baserunners at 3rd trying to score when they should stay put, etc.)

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

1- create a stadium- even if its something as easy as putting pieces of any of the real ballparks together to make a new stadium.
2-like alot of people are saying-COMMENTARY!
3- find a way to make games go by faster-( i dont need to see where every foul ball I or the computer hits lands)
4-we need new baserunning controls- simplify it- tired of running myself out of innings cause of double steals and guys running to 3rd and home and having guys on 1st and 3rd and trying to tag up and end up hitting into DP cause both runners go!
5-since your only MLB Franchise currently get the rights to minor league affiliates!

Couldn't agree more. Especially with building the the stadium, the new commentary, and the new baserunning. Commentary esppecially has been lacking. Matt vasgersian is good, but they definetely need to add somone like Chris Rose or Kevin Millar.

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

I would like to create stadiums or relocate, it would also b nice to fire managers or coaching staff in-season, not much to complain about otherwise, this is the best sports sim ever, oh also, maybe let us have a roster carry over from MLB12, really like Scots rosters and want to use his upcoming year end edition, or I may just ride out on 12 next season

[furrygrizzlybear]

They have to limit how frequently the cpu makes spectacular defensive plays.

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

Another reason for getting rid of the overall rating/making it independent of potential or giving the ability to change potential - if you edit Brendan Ryan to accurately reflect his skillset (low 30's contact, 90's fielding and reaction, 80's arm) he regresses heavily across the board every offseason because his overall his higher than his potential, so he's penalized for actually being good in real life... This just shows that the whole rating system is flawed and needs a revamp.

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

I would like to see improvements with RTTS
1. Start off in high school for like 8 games.
2. Have an actual draft. With teams picking players they actually need
3. Adding in a single A level
4. Make advancement goals less important or make a different way to advance
5. Make better animations ( for first hit ever, throw pitch into dugout, for walk off HR make the team huddle waiting for you at home plate)
