My number one wish for 2019 is that they add a consistency slider for pitchers. For years, I've been wanting them to make pitching less stale. I play mostly Franchise, and I want a story line through my season. I want it to be more realistic. A consistency slider would greatly add to this. Aces would have the slider high, but there are also very good to great pitchers who are notoriously streaky - they'll pitch three gems in a row and then throw a stinker. As the game is now, this will rarely occur. I want a consistency slider so that pitchers will now have this added element to deal with.
But not just that, because obviously I don't want my pitcher automatically throwing a stinker every few games. What would also add immensely to the experience is in-game analysis of the pitcher's pitches during that specific game. So, for example, there could be an overlay pop-up that says something like "[Pitcher's] cutter is just not cutting tonight, adjust accordingly." Or maybe the advice could be even more specific. Point is, something along these lines would be awesome. And this could all be related to the consistency slider, which would affect the pitcher's pitching attributes with slight decreases, etc.
I just want more realism and less staleness, and I think these elements would really add to the game, especially in Franchise mode. And similarly, a Streaky Slider for batters would also add to the realism.
Finally, I'm still waiting for the devs to give us the ability to push the R3 button when up at bat to actually look around the entire stadium, sky, 360 degrees. I still can't understand why they limit the view to the third base line to the first base line. I want to see the whole stadium, the sunset, etc. I want to be fully immersed in the game and feel like I'm at the stadium. And I want them to allow us to choose random cameras around the stadium to view the field from various seats in the stadium, so we could feel like a fan at the game. They've already begun this with the added cut scenes, but I wish they would give us the ability to control the view from specific seats and at any point during the game.
