* fully customizable managers and coaches (faces, bodies, abilities, tendencies, etc)
* make it possible to hire managers and coaches from not only other MLB teams but minor league teams too.
* If the Marlins decide to fire their manager and like the A's pitching coach, they should be able to hire him as a manager. Likewise, if the Mets fire their manager, the Braves should be able to hire him as a 1st base coach, 3rd base coach, etc.
* add tons of new crowd and stadium sounds. You should hear jets from NYC's airports flying over in the Mets' stadium. You should also be able to hear police and fire truck sirens in Yankee Stadium as well as the White Sox and other parks where you can hear them in real life.
* add various sounds of fans whistling, booing, yelling, etc. Make it where it seems you hear something different every time. Add stadium music too (Sandstorm, Sweet Caroline, Centerfield by John Fogerty, The Boys are Back in Town by Thin Lizzie, etc)
* instead of complicating things with schedules, just use schedules from the past (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, etc.) That way you can still get your rotating interleague schedule.
* make draft classes fully customizable (faces, heights, weights, abilities, attributes, etc)

Considering that some of the things they've added to the game in recent years to beef up franchise mode have been poorly thought out (i.e. quirks and morale system), the odd appearance of "cash flow" is probably the single most hated addition of the bunch. I can 5th how unnecessary it is to care about weekly budgets when there aren't even any financial considerations to manage on a weekly basis. As Caulfield mentioned, 5 out of 4 dentists would agree that this weekly interpretation of the budget needs to go. There is really zero need to make people frustrated with all the "how much money do I actually have to spend in the offseason?!??!?" and "why can't I sign a free agent??" stuff. It's basically the devs being mean to their customers at this point by keeping this in, lol.

Maybe if there was some semblance of an owner mode in this game, I could be convinced that managing money on a weekly basis would be necessary to make it sing. But, there is hardly even a sniff of an owner mode in this game. Then, no need for people to hire a CPA to figure out their finances.

I must be the 5th dentist because I like the new budget system.

I wish that during the offseason it would tell you exactly how much money you have instead of us having to take our weekly cash flow and multiply it by 26 (actually its like 26.43 or something) to determine our overall budget, but I will gladly take a budget system that is constantly "evolving" depending on what is going on in your franchise (attendance, home games make money, road games lose money, get more money for playoff games, etc) than the static budget system we had prior to '17.

Does it need work and to be evolved? Sure, but its a great concept.

And a tip for knowing how much money to set aside for contract renewable players and arbitration players...I always deduct $20M off my budget to cover these expenses. It has worked thus far as I've never encountered the "not enough funds to sign a player" or whatever the message says.

Again, it would be best if this information was provided up front without us having to "guess", but again this method has always worked for me. *knocks on wood*

You need to use Sounds of The Show man.

We have all that in terms of stadium sounds and atmosphere. I can’t play the game without SOTS.

Yes it takes sone work to set up but I actually enjoy setting up my sounds for every park and all the walk ups.

Its amazing. And no sports game other the The Show has this feature.

I wish I was better at setting up SOTS. I'm just not that advanced at computers and such. I know its probably "simple/easy" but I've tried and I just can't do it...LOL.

I do have the tv broadcast themes of Fox Sports, TBS, YES Network, and ESPN set up though, so I was able to do something...LOL

Oh wow man. It is easy. You should watch a you tube video and see how easy it really is.

Let us press X to jump into the game once we are done. The way it is now we just don't have enough time to flip through these pages. - Implement rotating interleague schedules - Revamp current budget system. Real contracts for MLB players with - Contract Clauses/No trade clauses - Add minor league stats for each player who has played in the minors - Add top 10 prospect lists for each team instead of an overall list - Set prices for tickets, concessions, etc.

You have been studying my post I see... LMAO. Good list my dude.
