Isn't "little things we'd like to see" intrinsically tied into things on one's wish-list? Albeit that some things are bit more minor compared to others.

I have to agree as well, your two wants is already in the game. I am on PS3 as well.

It was merely an observation, not calling out the thread or anybody in it.

They might be in but they should be happening at a more realistic rate like I said before. How often does a pitch get fouled off a batter in The Show? I hardly see it, in real life I see it 4-5 times a game.

I personally don't see it nearly enough (PS4). I would trade those fouls off the foot for the plethora of choppers in front of the plate where the catcher can basically tag me out with how fast he gets out of the crouch to field the ball. haha

I think the chopper in front of the plate deal happens too much, but that could just be me. I don't know how often they occur in real life, but when I'm playing, they happen a LOT.

The catcher lunging for the ball and quickly throwing to 1st isn't my gripe, though. It's the times where the runner will be halfway to first before the catcher even starts running to pick up the ball. If it didn't happen very often, I could easily see this as a mental lapse on the catcher to try fielding the ball... but it does happen often and results in a safe hit by anyone with 50 or above speed everytime.

Bases Loaded back in the day had individual team jerseys during the All Star game so there is no reason they can't do this on the PS4. I've been waiting for this forever and hope sometime is actually happens.

It would be cool to see catcher's trying to frame pitches. Maybe even make a rating for this.

Another little thing I want is more animations for a catch and throw. I routinely see the CPU catch a ball in the infield or foul territory, casually hold it for a second or two, and then aggressively throw the ball to whatever base. I'm not referring to pre-loading throws I know what those are, but I think a lot of the catch and throw animations need to be cleaned up.

Also more emotion from the players reacting to a big/cool/important play. This can cover a lot of different aspects of the game, I just think there could be more energy with the players.

Bugs, trash, popcorn, cups, etc around the stadium....just a subtle amount of debris would make it feel more lively.
