Ideas to improve MLB The Show 23 (a more detailed wishlist of sorts)

[Caulfield]

any ideas on how a 6th pitch would map out controller-wise?
maybe a combo selection of buttons

There would have to be a button used as a modifier (one of the triggers I assume). This is how Pro Yakyuu Spirits handles multiple pitches of the same direction.

Throwing to bases should be fully contextual and should make sense. If I throw to a base and release it early, it should (depending on the arm angle) fly higher or wider than it's intended target. Release it too late, it should end up in the dirt or wide in the other direction.

I knew when they added the perfect throw to home last year that they would expand it the next year. But it's really pretty trash.

Also the animations can make it feel like you have nearly no control of your players.

The game is in desperate need of a new engine overall though. It's the most dated looking major sports game out.

RTTS is such a bland and lifeless mode. Contracts make no sense and are useless.

I love the game but there are things that could be done to definitely make it better. Add more equipment especially cleats. The Nike Hurache lows are worn by most players including stars like Byron Buxton and Wilson Contreras and there not in the game. Bruce Bolt equipment is missing that I've noticed a lot of players wearing this year. Most importantly the announcer dialogue is awful. I'm in 2023 on my franchise and still hearing them give stats and discuss things like it is 2022.

IMO what the game needs first and foremost is improved player models and graphics. It is staggering the difference between player models in NBA 2K compared to The Show.

Some sort of dynamic team scouting system for your opponent in franchise mode.

As it stands I’m pretty much playing every opponent the same as I generally have no idea what their strengths and weaknesses are at both a team and player level.

E.g It’d be great if I knew if a team has a high strikeout rate/low BB rate at the start of the game. Do they steal often. Are they aggressive on the bases etc.

On a player level, does he swing at the first pitch often. How is he defensively. What pitches/areas should I avoid with this batter. What is the pitchers strikeout pitch. Etc.

Just something to help me approach each game differently, give me a heads up without having to trawl through numerous menus.

The only thing I’ve noticed is a mention of player tendencies when you press pause. That’s as shallow and as vague as it can get really!

I am mostly a Franchise players so here goes what I want, and I need.

Coaching: Retired players can become coaches.

Offseason menu: Have something kinda like NBA2k with the retired numbers, retirement you can reverse, New rules you can approuver.

Progression and regression is the worst in all the sports Games. The regression feels so random.

Players card: You should add Achievements section, with the MvPs, all-star sélections, etc

This may be a simple addition but for me who plays RTTS when I am customizing the player to look like me or what I want to look like, it is difficult using the left and right sticks.

On some things you can just right d pad or left d pad to the exact number.

It would be great if all adjustments could be made with the d pads. I spend so much time with the sticks trying to get an exact number.

It would be even better if once a player looks are made it could be saved and then on a new career just be able to load the saved look?
