    what is your ideal "Dream" baseball game

    if you could have a shot to make your dream baseball game what would it be?? here is mine game modes and all.

    Gameplay
    Hitting

    I would use some various aspects of hitting from the mvp baseball series and the mlb the show series. there would be no guess pitch feature or guess location feature. Simple either analog or button style batting would do fine. some may like the concept of a analog pull back type swing while others might like the normal Button swinging. all and all i would leave that to the user to decide. hitting would obviously be based on attributes and timing but also batter confidence. for an example if a player is in a slump he won't preform as well in the game until you can manage to get him out of that funk. this would be the basic controls for hitting

    pitching
    pitching would be on a button based concept. i honestly hate the whole analog pitching in 2k and i think the button with the pitching meter works great.

    Baserunning
    Take mlb 09 the shows baserunning with the exception of the Rtts mode thats what i would use.

    Fielding
    Same as always button fielding to throw to a certain base. and using the bumpers/triggers to dive and jump for balls.

    Game modes

    What could have been...

    This would be my first feature. you start out with about 2 or 3 player stories that you get to choose from and guide that players career the way you wanted it from a certain point. for an example i pick ken griffey jr. and instead of signing with the reds i sign with the cubs or resign with the mariners. If i was kerry wood i would try to avoid getting injured. It's a rough concept but with some tuning i could see it being able to work

    Carrer mode.

    Basically RTTS with a little zest added to it. you can sign endorsement deals, hire agents. Every action that has to do with your player you can actually see. when you retire you answer questions from the press. so on and so on i think it would work

    Franchise mode
    mostly everything from Mlb 09 the show franchise mode but you are allowed to move your team to another state design a stadium kinda like what madden offers.

    home run derby

    I would have a homerun derby mode but i would include in with the franchise to thats about the only thing i like from 2k sports baseball games.

    this is my ideal baseball game discuss away

    It's cliche and i'm going to get ripped for saying it but:

    MVP with updated graphics.

      MLB: Texas Rangers
      Soccer: FC Dallas, Fleetwood Town
      NCAA: SMU, UTA
      NFL: Dallas Cowboys
      NHL: Dallas Stars
      NBA: Dallas Mavericks

                exactly. one thing i'd love to see, but won't ever happen on console games, is keeping all history similar to how OOTP games do on PC. i love being able to look at any season, who did what, looking in player histories to see when drafted, contracts signed, etc. team histories, records, playoff appearances, playoff/world series wins.

                again, too much for a console game to track and deal with, but i'm a stats junkie and love looking at career stats, leaders, best seasons, stuff like that....

                  I mostly agree with this. I would change the end to a combination of ASB's and The Show's details (like the Ivy in both, cutscenes, Expansion Mode in ASB, etc) and OOTP's functionality for customization, franchise, and stat tracking.

                  Then I would be that dingy divorced guy who never leaves the house.

                  EDIT: I'm blind. The guy above pretty much hit what I want.

                    I think a combination of MVP and the shows gameplay. The shows graphics and mlb 2k's pitch and hit stick. Also 2k's signature styles would make a great MLB game.

                        Re: what is your ideal "Dream" baseball game

                        Something between MLB09 The Show and PYS6 (which I think is the best baseball game ever made in terms of pure gameplay). Of course there's a bunch of little tweaks that could be made to the gameplay but I'm not going to get into that, I'm mainly going to focus on modes/features.

                        First, it would require a lot of agreements but I would love a global game. Include every minor league team (or at least 3 or 4 per team), Every NPB team (12 in total, plus each of their minor league team), winter league teams, etc. if you want to go as far as to include leagues like KBO and Mexican Pacific League thats fine too, but I wouldn't go that far, just MLB, NPB, and Winterball...plus the WBC. For franchise mode you have the choice of which league to play in and you can play a season/franchise based on that leagues schedules, procedures, etc. If you play an NPB franchise you can "post" players for MLB teams to bid on, sign lesser MLB free agents, etc. Even if you don't include Winter leagues, I think a game incorporating MLB and NPB would be incredible, especially if you can play exhibition games between games from the two leagues.

                        Expansion mode like in ASB, only better and with more city choices.

                        Create a Stadium.

                        Create a Uniform in franchise mode if you want to give your team a new look or something.

                        Relocation in Franchise.

                        Something similar to Road to the show, with the ability to jump between MLB and NPB teams and the option to play winter ball when your team's season is over. Something like that.

                        HR Derby for sure, especially in Franchise mode.

                        5 authentic throwback uniforms for each team, plus ALL alternates.

                        As many classic stadiums as possible, and authentic international stadiums.

                        Team specific broadcasters, which I know is nearly impossible but even at least a choice between broadcast teams. It gets kind of boring listening to the same broadcasters every game.

                        I'm sure i could think of a lot more, but that's it for now.

                          Ahhhh imagine each of the teams having their own broadcast teams in a game. *drool* I guess it will happen... but not for many, many years.

                            OOPT but this time you can actually play it on a console
                            Franchise mode in that game is so deep that its crazy
                            you could spent a whole hour messsing arround and still have fun
