Re: 1 thing!

In RTTS let me retire my player and let me manage in MLB/AAA/AA and A also let me choose my coaching staff if possible.

Re: 1 thing!

So many things need to change if I'm going to sink 50+ hours into another franchise for a new MLB The Show game... I mean the game is good but they miss out on so much potential.

#1 and this is a MUST if I will ever play this game again
Tie player/prospect stat ratings to their performance on the field! I'm so tired of taking the time and effort to play good with a player and watch them hit .350 with 50 homers and not even improve, but some AAA kid with A potential hit .227 and his batting ratings soar up.... WTFFFFFFF?? Give us an incentive to play our games and try on the field instead of simming.

#2: Lower the number of 95+ players.
Seems like some teams have 10 guys who are 95+ .... 95+ should be like a holy **** he's good player not a "oh he's an average starter".

#3: Veterans tank wayyyyyy too hard
I understand people decline with age, but it's not like they go from being amazing for 10+ years to a 65 overall in 3 months. That's just silly, and like I said above, stat ratings should be tied to performance. If a vet keeps performing it means he has the skills and shouldn't decline, hell maybe even raise. If a young guy with A potential is playing like **** for 3 months, maybe he should decline a bit even though he's a young A potential.

#4: Show more info in-game and in the schedule screen.
People who like Baseball are usually numbers people. Show us some numbers and stats more often. When a guy is batting show all his ratings / stats on the left side, and show the pitcher's ratings / stats on the right. It would be fun to look at while you play.

On that note they don't show your ratings enough. Like #2 Batting, #7 Fielding etc, they ONLY show it when you are entering to play a game. It should be shown on your main Franchise screen, along with much more of a breakdown showing what you are currently and what you finished last year as:

Starting Pitching: #8 (#9)
Relief Pitching: #11 (#10)
Contact: #2 (#1)
Power: #8 (#9)
Base-Running: #27 (#22)
Fielding: #14 (#16)
Average Age: #4 (#3)
Overall: #5 (#7)

#5: Easier Roster to Manage
Without clicking on anything or opening any extra screen, you should be able to see their Overall, Age, Potential, League they are in, If they are 40-man roster or not, and current contract (4/1.7, = 4yr remain, 1.7mil per)

I get so ridiculously tired CONSTANTLY opening up the extra screen when I'm looking at trades, other teams while theory crafting trades, and managing my roster.

1, 2, and 3 are all good and I agree with them. I don't think too many people care enough about #4 to have it put in the game. This is actually the first time Ive heard of the idea. for 5 to get in I think we'd have to wait a year or two to see that added, I'm guessing 14 will be the same as 13 in that area, could be wrong though.

Re: 1 thing!

My one thing would be deeper editing with a create-a-team option. That way one could create their fantasy team, a historical team, a fictional made up team, whatever. Then a Team Vault could be used for sharing.

In game saves for exhibition games.

Re: 1 thing!

As it stands now when playing an 82 game season you can play several non division teams 7 times in the same season while only playing your division rivals 3 times???
Makes no sense either better scheduling needs to be implemented or more preferable the ability to set up a custom schedule.

And to the above poster...why??
An exhibition game is just that...a meaningless 1 off game...if you don't have time to complete it..why start it in the first place?

I think that is SCEA's thinking as well.....but....I can see that if you do start one thinking you'll just go as far as you can or play and something pops up unexpectedly ....(IRL)...and you have a really good game going.....I could see why guys would want to start it back up.
I believe PS4 will solve this...as it will go into sleep mode and start back where you left off if you do it that way.

Re: 1 thing!

Instead of Attributes with formulas let us add the Old-time players stats and let the PS4 sort it out.

Re: 1 thing!

Statistics actually having meaning; along with attributes, to dictating what contract and what the player is asking for. Like what the show does, the last three years are looked at real hard for determining what the player should be getting. That would make franchise much more life like. There's enough room to add plenty so no more excuses.

Haha. I wish next-gen has unlimited disc space, but I doubt it. And I think The Show has been above average when compared to other sport games in dictating disc room. I'm sure they'll make great decisions and continue to grow this great game over the next gen. All the confidence in the world for them.

Customizable hot/cold zones while editing and creating players!

Re: 1 thing!

In game saves with no reset, though that may be solved by the ps4 capabilities anyway
