    Re: MLB 2K10 (and beyond) Dream List

    [quote=Trevytrev11;2038235586]I’m not expecting big changes to 2K9. 2K8 needs a lot of polish and has tons of minor nuances, distractions, errors, problems and glitches that need the bulk of attention.

    Because of that, I’m looking at 2K10 before we see any drastic changes or additions to the series.

    Here goes my initial Dream List…feel free to add to it.

    1) A copy cat of MLB 2008’s “Road to the Show”. I’ve never played the game, but absolutely love this idea. It is great in many ways. It offers a variation to the typical 9-inning baseball game. It is something that could be played along side a franchise. It allows the user to actually play through a player’s career and generate stats and chase records.
    2) Create a Team. Here we are in 2008, damn near 20 years post Baseball Stars, and we don’t have a create-a-team feature. Basketball games have it, football games have it…why not baseball? We should be able to personalize everything (city, state, mascot, colors, stadium type, etc.)
    3) Expansion Mode in Franchise. Similar to #2, it would be awesome to start a franchise in an expansion year and create a team from scratch.
    4) Relocation in Franchise Mode: You could be able to relocate a failing franchise to a different city. Similar to expansion in the fact that you would have new uni’s, colors, stadiums, etc, but would keep your roster.
    5) Create a stadium. I could go on for days about this topic, but use your imagination. Don’t go the MVP route of starting with a small stadium and adding to it…it’s not realistic at all.
    6) Enhanced GM mode: Arbitration, Rule 5 drafts, 40-man rosters in September, etc.
    7) Actual Spring Training-This would be a neat little twist to play games in the Spring in smaller stadiums, with different uniforms with huge rosters.
    8) Spring Training Drills-Instead of having the computer generate increases and decreases. A series of trainings (mini games) could be used to improve certain traits of certain players. Long Toss to improve arm strength, BP to improve contact/power, running drills to improve speed, fielding and throwing drills to improve defense.
    9) Re-do the Presentation from the top down. Hopefully 2K9 will have new announcers, but everything about the presentation needs to be redone. The cut scenes are old and boring. The fans involvement is rarely on key. New sounds need to be recorded for big games and playoff games to really capture the atmosphere of these games
    10) I would like to see the inclusion of a “catch” button defense. The inclusion of the new pitching system and hitting system have arguably increased the user input (though swing is arguably easier because of the lack of a direction needed). I think it’s time to do the same for defense. Catching a ball should require more than running into the ball.

    Feel free to add to it.[/quote

    I think it'd be really cool to have prospects actually matter in trades.

        Great ideas. Weird that baseball games never have a create-a-team feature, come to think of it.

          Hey, that was my idea from my list...he just quoted it (impropperly)

          Sorry, I need the credit to feel good about my self...just kidding...no I'm not...yes I am...

          Anyway, the last game I can remember having a create a team was Baseball Stars. I remember when I was younger creating the teams I were on in games like Triple Play and WSB, but I always had to then choose a MLB team in which to demote their entire roster before I could assign my players.

          Edit. Now that I think of it, I think NCAA MVP baseball had a create a school, you then had to replace a team in an existing conference, but I may be wrong and maybe you just edited another school...can anyone confirm?

              The ASB series had an expansion mode where you created a team. Not much customization at all, but it was still a blast and really well done.

                  On top of this, it would be nice to have a 4 man rotation in the post season.

                      Yes it did. My Woodpeckers became a championship team in Drubel County Stadium.

                      They also has teams relocating to new parks (STL, BOS, NY, to name a few) at random points in a franchise. Great touch.

                      ASB had so many great "little things" and was probably the deepest franchise mode I've ever played on a console game.

                      Take those as a baseline and open up the customization on them and I'm sold!
