Re: MLB 2K9 Wish List

This would make 2k9 the best game ever playedddd


-I want the crowd to go nutsss after a late inning/extra innings go ahead/walk off home run or hit or after a big strike out in pitching jams or ending the game.
-I want there to be a "Yankees Suck" chant at Fenway
-I want there to be standing ovations after a pitcher is taken out of the game or with 2 outs in the 9th inning, waiting for the last out.
-I want Opening Day to be new, with players running onto the field getting introduced, and whoever wins the world series the year before gets their rings. (for example; Philadelphia)
-I want more cut scenes, with player, fan, coach reactions after a call is made or a after a big hit/stolen base.
-I want fan attendence to be involved, like for the last place teams, there will be a lot of empty seats; when in BOS or NY it will most likely be a full house every game..
-More detail with the coaches, i think there was a post already put up about that.
-I want there to be standing ovations for a pitcher once he is taken out by the manager, or after getting a no hitter broken up.
-I want there to be those fans that are at a ballpark rooting for another team, giving high fives after their team puts a run on the board.
-I want the All Star Game to be more detailed. With player introduction running out onto the field from the dugout like opening day..and i want the all star game uniforms to be like they are now (team uniforms and hats. i think?) no NL or AL uniforms.
-I want a cut scene when you want to warm up a pitcher, and show him warming up in the bullpen.
-I want the POSTSEASON to be a complete change from the regular season. some stadiums have towels, Tampa Bay has cowbells, I want the fans to be louddd and crazyy after everything little happens (like a run scored, a strike out of a batter)
-I want there to be little press conferences from coach or player
-After winning a series CELEBRATIONS NEED TO BE BETTER AND LONGER. yeah after the divisional series, a lot of high fives, hugs, jumping up and down on the pitchers mound.
League championship, mobbing the field, some champagne "we're going to the world seriesssss!"
After winning the world series, I want the last out to be a cut scene, like position yourself to make a catch, or to make a ground ball then the game takes it from there, so that right when the out is made the player can react with his arms in the air, everyone jumps over the dugout fence, and mobs the mound. I want signs that say "We Believed" and then it cuts to the locker room with players jumping with champagne WITH championship hats and t shirts, spraying the drinks into the camera..some interviews with players that say "I'm so proud of all of these guys around me". going out on the field and spraying it onto the fans. then the mvp trophy and world series trophy.
-I want the post season fans to be the loudest you're audio could make it.
-This cut scene should be about 5 minutes long. I mean comeon we've played 162 games, it would be nice to sit back and watch all your hard work paying off with some celebration!

Now my all time wish for this baseball game would have to be..after winning a world series. i want there to be a celebration parade that goes throughout the city. Comeon, how sick would that be!

Re: MLB 2K9 Wish List

I would love to be able to play all the games even if I'm not managing them. When your simming games also, I would love more than 3 pitchers to be used my experiance was that unless I played every game of my own team the computer would sim up to the first 3 pitchers then start all over again. This was also the case with the teams that I wasn't managing as well, so at the end of the season the first 3 starting pitchers on every team would have all the starts instead of the back end of the rotation. I would love the players to have more realilistic problems than just being upset cause your resting them when their stamina gets low players rest in real life why not allow that in the game, to be able to dowload roster in the middle of the season without starting over, also to manage rosters and depths and call ups even if I'm not managing the teams, again to play every game with out having to sim to get to my next game, easier simming of the games, even if I'm managing just one team, sometimes if I simmed the farm club first it wouldn't let me play the main team other times if I played the main team it would let me play the farm clubs, I would also love that the computer pitcher last longer than just a few innings and the stamina would also be more substantial in complete games or even perfect games, it was almost impossible to throw a perfect or complete game I would also love a momemtom meter like in college football and the crowd be more of a factor. I would also love to have a sleeper in the farms clubs meaning that the computer would notify you of a possible star pitcher or hitter I know it does that to an extant but only recomends I won't the computer in that regards to have more ai, I would also love to have the options of the manger options be more realistic for example the first year jd drew signed with the redsox one of the goals for the manager that kept popping up was that His contract is to large and you need to get rid of him common they just signed him, give me a break. Hope that some or all of this gets done thanks.

Re: MLB 2K9 Wish List

I would like to see the fans acually go to catch homeruns and fouls and make noise when something good happens like in 2k7 instead of sitting there and getting hit in the face like a bunch of goons. I also think they could shut up with all the 2k sport crap like why are they avertising so much we already bought the product if werre playing it it should be more like the real sponcers on the walls and things like that. and i am a phillies fan and charlie manuel looks nothing like the real guy hes not a skinny tart and all the coaches are the same. all the base coaches swith every game they are a diffrent name. with the updates they should make a player better if that player is better than he was at the start of the year. the batting stance imitations suck and finnaly get efin jose reyes off the cover he sucks *** and doesnt deserve it, well maybe he does since it is such a crapppy game, crappy game crappy cover

Re: MLB 2K9 Wish List

i would like to have a legend mode or career mode, when you create your guy and go up through the farm to get to the league, like mlb the show. i love the show, when it was on ps2, but now i have a 360 and im not going back to playstation.

I totally agree. I love this career mode thing. it's sooo fun. 2K sports, if you read this....put career mode in this!please!

Re: MLB 2K9 Wish List

MVP Baseball 2005 is what I want 2K9 to be...that was game was phenominal...minor leagues, presentation was great with Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow, the owner mode was sick too. The list goes on. Ever since that bs exclusive contract with MLB, I feel like I have taken in baseball game video game quality by playing the 2K Series

As far as a wishlist is concerned...here it goes:
1. more minor league stadiums
2. owner mode where you sell hot dogs and beer and foam finegers
3. more realistic numbering on CPU managed teams with trades
--in my chise I saw Jeter wearing number 7, Big Papi wearing 4, c'mon I like that they figured something out where they don't repeat numbers but they need to find something else...maybe something like where each player has 3 to 5 number preferences and if he cant have his first choice it just goes to his next choice
4. more variety in faces for the fictional prospects
5. spring training
6. do something where you can train your team during the season to improve stats

Re: MLB 2K9 Wish List

I remember last year if you threw a perfect game the announcers would barley even acknowledge it, In real life their going crazy for example C.C SABATHIA THREW A PERFECT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE YANKEES WIN THE WORLD SERIES
and career mode would be great that the only reason i owned a psp haha

Re: MLB 2K9 Wish List

I would like to see several old "classic" stadiums done in HD! Also, be able to play in these stadiums anytime.

Re: MLB 2K9 Wish List

For right now, I just wanna see them improve ball physics....in previous 2K baseball games, the ball kind floats when being pitched. It needs more zip. Also, in replays you can see that the batter swings when the ball is already passed him quite a bit...looks goofy.

Re: MLB 2K9 Wish List

1.) My biggest thing has always been to allow for more customizing freedom, particularly with editting the players. It was decent in 2k8 with the amount of different equipment options, but the create-a-player faces were an absolute joke. Allow us to edit the face, hair, facial hair, and everything else separately instead of 30 predetermined faces which all looked horrible. Plus created players should never have a blank silhouette for their picture, just use a picture of the face you created. Maybe something like the Xbox Live Gamer Card, which lets you zoom in, rotate, then take a picture of your character's face. Store the pic on your hard drive and use that in the game. When I wanted to add a new player, I usually found a no-name minor leaguer that looked similar, since you were allowed to edit every except the faces of existing players.

2.) Allow more freedom with the lineups, such as being able to use pitchers as position players. Players like Rick Ankiel and Brooks Kieschnick do exist, so I would love to have a struggling right fielder in Single-A and see if he can make it as a pitcher.

3.) More options with minor league teams. Why can you only use MLB players in HR Derby? How about being able to play a season as a minor league team without having to set it up through its MLB affiliate?

4.) More classic stadiums. Not just the typical Polo Grounds, Ebbets Field, and stadiums that have been in every baseball game. I would love to see more recent ones like Candelstick, the Kingdome, old Comiskey, Mile High, Fulton County, etc.

5.) More classic jerseys, at least 2 or 3 sets per team. Obviously newer teams and those like the Yankees and Dodgers don't have many to choose from, but the White Sox, Indians, A's, and others have dozens to work with. Even if some of them had to be available for download, I would love to see more options. I spent countless hours making uniforms for High Heat on the PC back in the day, so this is a big one for me.

Re: MLB 2K9 Wish List

MLB 08' The Show's face tool is very useful to create any face.
VC should introduce something like this sometime down the road.

I believe in VC's abilities. It might take time but I believe they will transform this cocoon of a game into a beautiful butterfly...

I would love a choice of two great baseball games.
