    EA-please incorporate these GAMEPLAY suggestions next year

    EA - if you guys frequent this board and are looking for feedback, please get these things fixed for next year...I am concentrating on on-field issues as I am not a big GM/Franchise player.

    1) CPU hitters need to chase bad balls more often
    2) CPU hitters need to swing and miss more often
    3) Tag animation off at times when player moves forward and then tries tag..***nner always safe
    4) Fielders sometimes get stuck against wall in OF chasing down ball..***n in place
    5) Pitcher sometimes chases ball in OF as other fielders do not move
    6) Too many line outs to infielders
    7) Too many over the shoulder catches by infielders
    8) Catchers never snap throw to first
    9) Stealing is incredibly hard - even with a good lead, fast runner, and on an off-speed pitch
    10) Homerun hitting needs to be tweaked...a bit too hard to hit one both when human controlled and CPU controlled. We don't want a homer fest for sure, but it needs to be upped slightly
    11) Tighten up the dp animations just a touch
    12) Try to get rid of the extra animation of fielder stopping and turning slightly before throwing. I think this has to be a bit more seamless...especially on dps
    13) Fine tune the "remove CPU pitcher" code. They are being pulled way to early...try to implement a pitch thrown logic into this algorithm, as well as current game situation/score.
    14) Need an easier way to determine pitcher's stamina while in game
    15) Need more balls weakly hit...most are line shots..especially by CPU

    I know others will have more...I wanted to keep this thread to on the field stuff, because to me that is what is most important.

    You guys are so close...an awesome first effort! This is a must purchase for next year if you can tweak these items. Don't let Sega and Acclaim get there first!!

    PS: thanks for dumping TP finally!

    I got a few.

    Add the action button.

    Let us edit our players, it's a trend in the baseball genre and it's a good one.

    Add a dive button!

        I agree with all your points Capa. This game is so close.. Great first time effort!

        One more thing I would like to see added and that is sliders to customize the gameplay to your liking. This is a must have in any sports game IMO. Having the user control the gameplay to his/her liking will make wonders to a game. Just like NBA 2K3 has!

        My fav baseball game so far. Followed closely by WSB 2K3.

            man, i personally hate sliders. i'm not a game programmer nor do i wanna be. i can't stand tweaking, testing, tweaking, etc. i think having sliders in a game is the easy way out for developers. make it right the first time and let us just play the game. i dunno if i'm in the minority here, but that's my opinion.

                Sliders let you customize the game to your liking, everyone has different opinions on what is realistic and sliders will let you fix the game to where you think is realistc.

                Also, EA please add profiles next time, I want my personnel settings and records recorded.

                            I agree, I HATE them! Big reason I purchased MVP and took HH back to the store. You spend hours posting, reading, tweaking, etc.. to have realistic games. I like MVP the way it is, no sliders is fine with me!

                            If they can fix a few minor things, this game on AS is right on. Who wants to tweak foul balls, pitch speeds, etc..? Not me.
