Addition of Little Things....

[RogerDodger]

I'd like to be able to take batting practice before a game. As much or as little as I need to get ready. I'd also like to be able to take a BP with one player on my roster each week who's slumping and give me a shot at getting him back on track (turning him from cold to neutral).

You have some nice metaphors and phrases, I'm not going to lie. "Fruits of our labor" lol I could never be that creative

Perhaps have it as something you can edit for each player. I'd like to see players throw the ball around after the third out. Balls tossed into the stands after the third out would be nice to see too. A nice variety of third out post catch animations would look good. While we're on the subject, can we trash some of the third out catch animations? A lot of them look awkward. I enjoy a good variety but not if they don't look like the type of play a professional baseball player would make. Players asking for time after sliding into a base safely. More dugout antics. Especially after homeruns. I feel like if I hit a homerun i'll see the manager clapping his hands. I see that a lot. The camera stare-down that the Astros do would be hilarious in the game. It'd also give teams a bit of personality.

Players asking for time after reaching 2nd sliding in would be sick. Adding to this, it would be nice if we saw an occasional oversliding of a base just to mix up the expectations. It would make the game much more unpredictable. I would LOVE to see them implement this. MLB in real life sees this in almost every other game and it would be so awesome to have this happen. Take-outs at 2nd base resulting in injury would also be awesome to continue on with the emotion part of the game.

Having random starting lineups (for CPU and/or User) for ST games (a la MVP 05) would be super nice and add a little less predictability.
