  • Face Scanning
  • Rotating Interleague schedule
  • Exterior Shots of the ballpark
  • Nighttime aerial shot of ballpark
  • Beginning of game, show fans entering ballpark.
  • More city shots
  • In walk off wins, show players rushing the field
  • Different animations to walk off, from running the basses to crossing the plate
  • Different crowd animation that react to certain situation like when a fan catches a ball and high fives everybody or when a team is down to its final out, the camera cuts to several people looking dejected
  • In player cards, the ability to see a player’s achievement, ex. MVP, world series championships, cy young, all star, etc
  • In the awards page, show all the winners who have won the award, not just the last three
  • A list of all past world series champions and pennant winners and series results. ex:
    2019: Washington Nationals 4, Houston Astros 3
    2018: Boston Red Sox 4, Los Angeles Dodgers 1
    2017: Houston Astros 4, Los Angeles Dodgers 3
    2016: Chicago Cubs 4, Cleveland Indians 3
  • On the transaction page, trades and free agent signings stay on the page for the entire baseball season
  • With baseball records such as hits, home runs, wins, show the all time leaders in these categories and as you continue your career and accumulate stats, your name gets added to the list. You can also have the broadcast team mark the occasion; “your player passes so and so for 10th all time in RBI’s” this is excuse to the save that is being played. They can also team records.
  • The ability to get in touch with your agent
  • In batting practice, have unlimited swings at balls
  • In batting practice, have it in the ballpark where the series is being played
  • Base hit celebrations and outfielders at the end of the game, every team should have their own unique celebration
  • Multiple Jordan brand cleats and accessories
  • Social media - use real people like Buster Onley, Seth Rosenthal
  • Season weekly rankings
  • When a team wins a championship, the banner hangs with the other banners
  • Stats like BB/PA, BOP, SLOB, TPQ showing up on your playing card, not only when you are playing a game
  • Jersey selection - when you get called up, traded, sign to a new team or a player with a higher overall comes to your team, there can be a cutscene about selection a new jersey number if your preferred number is retired or being used by somebody else
  • Base coaches and managers can’t have the same numbers as players
  • Better retirement logic
  • When a player goes to the hall of fame, it shouldn’t be about the last team he played for
  • The game doesn’t start when its already raining
  • More media interaction
  • maybe three sets of announce teams for the minors, local TV and National
  • SCEA created players don’t play with double flap helmets
  • drastically reduce the pitch DH
  • Magic number
  • For players who wear elbow/chin guard, they remove it when they draw a walk. Hand it over to the first base coach when they get a hit
  • Unbuttoned jerseys
  • additional necklaces, earrings
  • Home and away accessories
  • Three name slots for players who use their middle name or have a suffix ex John Ryan Murphy, Jackie Bradley Jr.
  • Maybe additional slot for nicknames
  • Double or triple the amount of commentary that they have now
  • The option to play the whole game before the game starts
  • Better AI bullpen management. They can pull a starter after giving up 6 runs in 3 innings yet leave the long reliever stay in the game for 5 innings giving up 6 runs with a reliever warming up in the bullpen for 3 inning already and the pitcher on the mound has no energy and throwing 100 pitches.
  • Fix when a pitcher makes a relief appearance one game and starts the very next day
  • Fix when a starting pitcher pitches back to back games
  • Fix when a manager makes pitching change when there was no one warming up in the bullpen to begin with
  • the ability to customize cleats and have multiple colorways of them the same way that nba 2k does

Also to have a pool of past managers and coaches, and retired players to choose from.

Example: Replace a manager or coach with Robin Ventura or Joe Mauer.

Re: MLB the Show 21 Wishlist

Atmosphere upgrade first priority

New pitching mechanic without the need for any onscreen meter

Start from today similar to NBA 2K and Madden

Create/edit draft class

Create a coach

Force players to not retire

I know the gameplay has a few glitches but I really think they are few and far between. When it costs me a game, it stinks but overall I enjoy the gameplay.

I know, without even searching this thread, that I’m not the first to wish of this. But, tendencies are sorely needed. Even if implemented for pitch mixes first, then expanded to hitter tendencies. It may be odd, but I get great satisfaction when the CPU Pitcher uses proper pitch mix and leans on “go-to” pitches in big moments to get me out. The game gets this right occasionally, but it feels a bit random currently.

I have to believe tendencies are on their shortlist to implement, but I’m hoping next gen gives them the bandwidth for 2021.


Also, catching animations in this game need some TLC. The framing, or lack there of can be quite jarring at times.

I honestly just want SDS to show us they are putting some effort into Franchise Mode whatever that may be.

Re: MLB the Show 21 Wishlist

Remove the word staunch from Mark Derosa's vocabulary.
Improve camera angle of pitcher looking at runner on 1st base.

Re: MLB the Show 21 Wishlist

I want to see a balk. Why are there no balks.



I like to play defense with my RTTS guy but some don't why no DH options. Or SU guys, pitch the 7th and 8th rather than just SP and closer. And why do all pitchers have to be slow? I've seen some fast SP before. Jack Morris would pitch run sometimes. Randomize it a bit. And why either 90 speed to start, 70, 60 or 25. Why not 52, or 12? And why can't steal be higher than speed.

Re: MLB the Show 21 Wishlist
