1.) NEW Commentary, drop Jon Miller and Joe Morgan, Pick up Harold Reynolds, Orel Herschiser, and good ol' Jeannie. Fresh lines of dialogue that go deep more like talking about the Whole Baseball organization rather than that specific event.
2.) Updated and more complexed Stadiums, Progressive Field (Indians) and the left field area is just straight awful compared to real like, Add Led Tickers with chants, Scores and Messages EX; Jenny will you Marry me? Scott G. Stadiums badly lack on scoretrons and led tickers all over. MAKE the OVERALL FIELD SIZE BIGGER WIDER AND LONGER ESPECIALLY the INFIELD
3.) HD Rendered graphics ,2K7 where about 85-90% and then 2K8 went through a butter churn engine and made everything creamy and crappy looking like play- dough
4.) LONGER Cutscenes I never skip cutscenes in 2k8 but just because of the lag it skips itself and other things, Have the games be extremly lengthy such as a basic 9 inning game shouble be aroun 1 hour with skipped cutscnenes but 1 hour and 15 mins with out
5.) with Longer cutscenes should be a sim feature like EA sports super sim where you can sim to the next inning or half inning or a specific players AB,
6.) update Soundtrack with known artist from the new era, and the 21 century
7.)Fix the Batting Camera So you can tell a fine line balls, and strikes
8.) Have Real inside edge numbers if your going to have the feature, let along allow the CPU Pitcher to develope a pitch count without having an annurism stressing to work the count here is the REAL inside edge looks like this :http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/baseball/mlb/07/16/scoutingreport.drew/index.html
9.) Revamped Challengin AI that is Adaptive, Less home runs, more strategy, Manager Personalities and styles. More arguements, The ability to argue tie in umpire personalities with this,
10.) Increased Depth with franchise mode, Roster updates with Real Minor leagers, Better all-star weekend activities and and events. IMPROVE the Home Run Derby
11.) Fans in stadium more of them, less duplicates and tighter more packed stadiums, Dynamic crowds. Custom chants ( Pay-Rod, Pay-Rod)
12.) Ditch the Meatballs, Up the pitch counts, correct effects on making rountine plays, More mature looking AI and player models, Make AI and player models act like Adults, 3D better dugouts with shots of Manager, players and rants in the dugout (ALA ZAMBAB aka Carlos Zambrano
13.)Go the route of the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> party for the Sim Engine. If the current system isn’t broken, it’s being held together with duct tape. We need a system that properly handles AI lineups, rosters, rotations and transactions as well as calculates realistic statistics and can properly handle player progression.
14.) More TV style presentation, a non freezing and non lag Highlight system
15.) Finally that good ol' MLB Baseball america's pastime tradition feeling
