MLB 17 Feature Wishes?

[bacon96]

Just a few that I thought of and decided to write down while playing-

Gameplay:

• players over sliding bases
• new slide rule
• collisions with other players or walls
• improved CPU bullpen logic
• improved CPU pinch hitting logic
• more/improved catcher animations
• less running on dropped 3rd strikes

Franchise:

• better morale options
• ability to disable morale
• improved 40 man roster logic
• rotating schedules
• players learning/forgetting positions
• prospect board showing top 50/100
• improved callup/recall logic
• 7 inning MiLB Double Headers
• expansion mode (Expos?)
• ability to edit rounds in amateur draft

Diamond Dynasty:

• improved servers
• coach cards
• more uniform options
• more hat options
• more number styles

Roster/Player Editing:

• editable options
• editable service time
• editable icons
• editable cap brims
• more players per roster
• more backup position options
• utility backup position
• 'pitch framing' attribute
• more licensed equipment
• option to unbutton top button
• necklaces over uniforms

Other:

• The Show Live meets season mode. Rosters are automatically updated so they're accurate to real life when you play season mode. Everything is locked so lineups/rosters can't be changed but there would need to be a delay because of the legality of the MLBPA and such.
• more classic stadiums (County Stadium, Astrodome, etc)

But I've been wishing for these things for so long I'm afraid tha probably just isn't the direction SCEA chooses to go. And I'm fine with that, so long as they don't take away the ability to import over every real player I will continue to make this a yearly purchase.

Couldn't agree more.

On a related note, if we can't get year-to-year roster transfers, maybe they could at least add an "export roster" feature in franchise mode. Madden had this at one point.

Since we can transfer franchise files from year to year, this seems a workable solution in place of actual roster compatibility.

I am with you on this post 100%. Customization for the win!

Remove one of the two throwbacks and replace it with current alternate uniforms.

RTTS

-Let me create an older player instead of participating in the Amateur showcase it's replaced by a pro day where you would workout for teams in order to get a spring training invite play well in the spring and make the roster or start in AAA Kind of like in the old MLB the show games. What if I wanted to start out as a 27 year old Cuban player in RTTS? or If I wanted to try something like Jim Morris The Rookie and start out as a 35 year old?
Also let me play until I'm 55 I want to pull off a Jamie Moyer or a Julio Franco

-More hairstyles and beard options they have been the same since 14

-Batting cages right now the batting practice option is a drill can you change it to where it's not a drill and you can just take some swings? Like this and this

-Make money mean something in RTTS let me use the money to either purchase drills, certain perks like a training program or diet that reduces the effects of aging so your skills don't decline fast kind, also performance bonuses in our contracts.

-Let me sign an agent and improve free agency. Let me tell my agent which teams I want to sign with in addition to receiving offers from interested teams. Right now you just receive random offers what if I want to sign with the Brewers but they don't offer you a contract right now you have to wait until spring training to "try out" for them and then they offer you a contract and thats if you make the team there have been a couple times where I failed to make the team and remained a free agent which sucked. Let me tell my agent to reach out to them and get working on a contract. Also let me ask for a no trade clause in my contract that could come in handy later on.

-Post game interview questions one of the things I like about NBA 2k is that our player speaks. I'd like to see that in The show. Keep it simple maybe 2 or 3 questions after a game and make them appear only occasionally. You don't even have to hire many voice actors I wouldn't mind having Ramone as the voice of my character :P

-Let me play as a DH if I'm in the A.L

-As a reliever or closer let me warm up in the bullpen before entering the game

The commentary is getting a little stale. Would love if they changed it up a bit, starting with the commentators themselves.

Out with E.K. and Psycho, in with Kruk and Shilling. Matt V. is fine.

Track playoff stats and records.

Clutch shouldn't be something you can just put points in, it should be earned. I definitely think 2k got it right with their "clutch situations" (except the score from third one, that was free points)
