Hmm..good point. I'll copy them over to the wishlist forum. I posted them here because I was hoping to get a little feedback, and there is little activity over in the wishlist forum.

Faster game times. It has been said and I'll say it again...faster games.

Now how does this affect the franchise...simple if it takes an hour to play one game it going to take a long time to do anything in the franchise mode.

Let us have the option of turning off the visuals and cutscenes. I don't want to watch a pitcher kick up dirt pitch the ball. I dont' want to see my defense throw around the horn.

i know some people like this stuff but more and more I like games that I can finish in 30 minutes. It progresses the season faster and I feel more involved. Maybe also include and sim out, sim in feature. Let's say, it's the 6th inning and I'm up by 10, I just press the sim button and bigo the innings are accelerated. One other feature is the jump in feature. Maybe take a page from MVP. I can jump in a simmed game. Or let's say that 10 run lead I had was dwindling during my simmed innings. So now I jump back into the game and try to stop the dam from busting.

Little things like this to make the season go faster would go a long way. It's tough to stay interested in baseball for 162 games in real life. It shouldn't feel like work to play a VIDEO GAME!

Re: ASB: some ideas to make the best franchise even better

You're a baseball fan aren't you?

This game was VERY feature-heavy last year... if you want to understand more, you have to rent it.

I never really liked the gameplay, and people get aggravated with this game too much...

I like home run derby though, because the stadiums have collision detection. Hitting the slide in Miller Park is fun.

Wait for the 2005/2004 versions of all the baseball games, getting the ones now won't serve any good really.
