I'd prefer that just a few things are polished, rather than many "new" features:

Play-by-play: Dave Campbell's lines are OK; the problem is that he just isn't a very good "voice actor". I'd replace him or simply lose him and go with 2 voices. Also yeah, generally a little less talking. It's nice to have stretches where all you here is the game.

Post season: I agree; this could have a bit more juice from the crowd and announcers at critical moments. Let's see references to the colder weather: sweaters, announcer references to chilly temps, players wearing long sleeves or having visible breath - stuff like that. But only in cold weather parks, of course!

Ballparks: Yes to a roof that closes in poor weather! And additional classic parks, please! Ebbets Field, if you can get the rights.

MLB Today: If I could only have one improvement, it would be this one. For those of us who don't have the time to play a full season, it's great to just turn on the game and play with today's lineups – and not spend 20 minutes fiddling with them to make them current.

My one pet peeve: When a foul ball rolls into shadow, it seems it stays as bright as it is in sunlight. Please fix!

Thanks for listening!
