    Re: MLB 14 The Show Wishlist

    I would like to see "Classic Season" added to Season and Franchise.

    Classic would be set-up for roster builders.
    It would be simplified with no trading. Why would a guy who creates teams from the past want to deal with trading?

    Classic Season would keep tract of all stats and records from season to season.

    I'm good at creating faces that look like the stars of yesteryear. I really wish that all I had to do was to add the stats of any given player from the past and the built in computer would create that players attributes automatically.

    I agree with many here that Classic Uniforms and Stadiums would be a great addition.

    To have the option to build stadiums and uniforms would be so nice.

    Specific request list:

    ...different size bats...
    ...choke-up on bats...
    ...fielding gloves and equipment from different eras...
    ...if we can't use chewing tobacco give us a one swollen cheek full of gum...
    ...like to see the old baggy uniforms...
    ...back in the day they didn't use batting helmets...please give us 4 batting helmet options:
    1) helmet with 2 ear flaps
    2) helmet with 1 ear flap
    3) helmet with no ear flaps
    4) no helmet just their cap

    thank you,

      He is proposing that the attribute bar(0-99) would represent the potential grade. Moving it would change the players potential.(including the sub-levels within each grade)
      It is a great idea.

      I only mentioned overall because you used overall numbers.

There are lots of A-rated potentials and there should be a ceiling that differs according to what is really happening in baseball. One example is Jose Fernandez. Before the season started, he was below Wheeler, Shelby Miller, and others when sorting by potential. What that means is the game will assume Wheeler and the others to be better than Fernandez, which was/is not the case.

        Editing by levels gives the opportunity to keep players closer to what they are doing in real baseball, which adds to realism.

At this point, I do not want Wheeler or Miller progressing to a higher level than Jose Fernandez, and that's how I would have wanted in 2013 season, but that is not how it would have been.
        That is what I said in regards to what I want.

          I should have also included the why:

          Going through sliders for each player is time consuming, Clicking on Potential for a player with a drop down menu of A1, A2, A3, etc, is easier and faster!

          Another thing is I want the ability to change Potential, for example, A to B.

            Re: MLB 14 The Show Wishlist

            Sorry, a bit of a newb here as far as this forum/posts - so I apologize ahead of time if I bring up what's already been discussed. Just curious the state of a few things developmentally in the game

            1. Expanded player Stats Pages/Cards - is there any stated reason there isn't full player card stats for the MLBTS? It's basically just the triple crown stats for players, pitchers or hitters, except when a player is up for free agency I can see SB numbers as part of their Free Agency profile. I'd rather not keep Billy Hamilton on 1 year contracts (over priced, doesn't always take them, signs somewhere else, doesn't play on new team - CPU won't trade him - all annoying). But I find this somewhat ironic to have 'advanced metrics' to the gills, but then only have G, AB, H, HR, RBI as the 'career stats'.

            Topps is involved in the game, would it not be fair to expect to see at least the stats we'd see on a Topps baseball card? e.g. GP, AB, H, R, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, SO, BB, AVG, OBP, SLG (led categories in bold, etc)

            I honestly could do without quite as many advanced stats, but would love to see a baseball card I could flip over and see the stats.

            2. Active career stats leaderboard.

            How close am I to Rickey Henderson's SB record? How about 2B or 3B? I'd love if they'd keep a yearly running total as well of the leaders. I recognize that players not in this current MLBPA license can't have their name in the game (extra $, contracts with individual etc) - so having just SF Giants 762 for the HR record (prefer an asterisk with that one btw, but that's another discussion altogether) is fine, but would love to be able to pull up and see where I rank.

            3. Awards - I'd love a longer running total of Awards than just the previous 3 seasons. Also, keep track of these Awards (all-star selections, ROY, MVP, etc) in their player cards (similar to scrolling through advanced metrics page).

            e.g. Joe Mauer
            2006 All Star, SS
            2008 All Star, SS
            2009 All Star, SS, MVP
            2010 All Star, SS
            2012 All Star
            2013 All Star, SS

            4. Minor Leagues - A ball - would love to see playable teams there. Would love to see those stats stay on their player pages as they progress. Not as necessary as for the MLB level, but still appreciated.

            I'm not a programmer - wish there was some place I could learn how difficult certain things are - as to realize what I'm asking them on a technical end when I(we) make requests.

            I would think the stats pages would be easy programming wise. I don't know the technical limitations of the game disk as far as the data/storage, though.

            Personally I'd take the stats over something like fan detail - e.g. only having 1,000 unique model fans instead of 40,000 unique models is the difference in the stats storing - I'd like to thing most baseball gamers/fans would prefer the stats, but I could be in the minority. Although RTTS is what it is because of accomplishments - so would think stats/Awards would coincide with that mindset.

            Again, I don't want to beat a dead horse - just love to know what the standing answer is from SCEA - and/or how one could get the standing answer - and if possible, best way(s) to get feedback from them.

              Also, if anyone could speak on - if these things might be more likely on the PS4 vs the PS3. I didn't plan on jumping to the PS4 until 2015 - but for these improvements I would list my PS3 on ebay first thing in March.

                Re: MLB 14 The Show Wishlist

                1) Override retirement for entire MLB. Especially if someone has a great year keep them playing. Maybe have an age cutoff instead.

                2) better IF fielding cameras

                3) better results if you TIME and LOCATE pitch correctly. Too many pop-ups even when you'd do everything right.

                4) Uniform editor (I know, but I can dream right?)

                5) ALERTS on when someone in the league has exceptional game, injury, contract extension

                6) Long term targets. Tell LAA GM you're interested in Trout. Of course, he wouldn't trade him this year, but what if he drafts a stud CF? And Trout becomes available? Or you have a piece or a package that the LAA GM really wants? Let LAA GM contact you to say "I'm willing to listen."

                7) better Free Agent handling. Too many GOOD FAs never sign because teams have maxed out their payroll or the player is too expensive. Everyone over a certain rating should be signed.

                8) in RTTS, the ability to play the entire game like it was a Franchise game. You throw every pitch, you handle all fielding, you take every AB

                  This may already be a feature of 14' but I would like a 2v2 online team play versus other actual people and not just the cpu, without having to be on the same console like 13'.

                    I kind of wish they could include a trading card system like MLB 2k8 did. That was always one of my favorite features. Hopefully the show could add something like that in the future. Exterior shots, concourse shots, or overhead shots of the stadiums pregame (Think Madden or MLB 2k7) would add some much needed elements to presentation.

                    The ability to manually argue close calls with either your team's manager, coaches, or specific player involved.

(which in some cases depending on the roster you use there are some issues) The work around for that now is OSFM, but who knows maybe with the hardware of the PS4 they figured out a way to to solve those issues and allow edited potential.
                      I had always suspected that this was the reason for the restriction, but it seems entirely unnecessary to me. It seems the problem would be having a roster with an imbalance of potential levels. This could easily be fixed by alerting the user of the imbalance (e.g. too many A potentials) or showing a breakdown screen that shows the totals for each potential grade. They already do this to alert you that rosters and lineups need fixing.

                      An awful lot of people play in season mode from what I see, or only finish one, maybe two seasons, so it seems an unnecessary restriction given the typical user's gameplay. Just warn us and let us make the decision...

                        In RTTS Free agency if the offers we get are from teams we don't like instead of trying out for a team in spring training let us open up negotiations with other teams.
                        For example say I played for the Brewers done my six years service time in the big leagues and I get offers from the Dodgers,Mariners, and Tigers say I don't want to play for either of them and want to sign with say the Nationals we should be able to open up negotiations with them but we might receive less money but in the show money doesn't mean much anyway...
                        This is just so players wouldn't have to wait for spring training to sign with a team and I haven't made it very clear but if you can understand it and if it doesn't get in the game I wouldn't mind.

                            Just thought of another playing in a game today:

                            An option to turn off pitcher confidence completely (not just the display on the pitches, the whole system).

                            Too often I see it overpower the ratings on the pitcher, be they good or bad. A wild pitcher who is "confident" doesn't turn into Greg Maddux. Likewise, Maddux, assuming he was ever "unconfident" doesn't turn into Mitch Williams.

                            Likewise, if a pitcher has no deception and no ability to locate in the zone, he shouldn't suddenly be able to get away with that just because that pitch "has a lot of confidence". A fastball down the middle is a fastball down the middle no matter how confidently its thrown. The hitters shouldn't turn into blind bats (no pun intended) just because the pitcher is confidently throwing crap down the middle.

                            That's why I'd like an option to turn it off. That way - ratings, disrupting timing, and pitch location matter more than how big a blue bar is.

                            A weaker pitcher should just have a hard time executing and a stronger pitcher an easier time and the vagaries and innate randomness of the game and the act of hitting a moving ball with a slender round piece of wood take care of the rest, imo.

                              This is never going to happen. Ever.

                              The entire balance of the game, and why we all enjoy it so much for its unpredictability, rests on it.

                                The thing is, it's not very unpredictable.

                                Confidence is high - guy can get away with anything.

                                Confidence is low - suddenly he's a AA pitcher.
