Ten Areas of Improvement for MLB 12: The Show

The pickoffs issue pickoffs, no Class A ball and inability to edit potential were my only gripes with MLB 11. Minor gripes, but would be a great addition/fix.

• Deeper franchise:ability to customize stadiums, uniforms, and relocate teams.
• Create a Team.
• Steroids

Yep, and 3, 4, 5, 6, & 10 are already in the game too.

We have not heard any news about what features/additions will be in this years game. Though, getting licensed gear can be very difficult when you have to work through all the companies and legal stages.

I only ask because woodweaver acknowledged that #6 (6. Licensed Equipment and Accessories) is already in the game so I am just wondering what they got to put in this year.

Re: Ten Areas of Improvement for MLB 12: The Show

Any chance the 2014 Franchise bug has been addressed? I started to play The Show 11 again, got to the draft and couldnt sign players because my team is broke, tried to trade away contracts and cant because every team is broke. Then I just dropped players from the roster to clear money and they were never picked up because all teams are broke. Has this been addressed at all? Im worried it has not because NO ONE is talking about this, which just completely baffles me.

Thanks.

How about the all-star game voting. It's the most horrible thing I have ever seen. Players with the most votes still don't make it and it's puts in average players in their places.

They said it would have rain and it would affect the game, well I always play with the white sox and I think I seen rain in 2 games and there were no game changing affects. The announcing stinks and the batter/pitching interface is boring. In the 2k series the announcers are on point and the pitcher/batter interface is on point, you just don't throw a pitch and the catcher or ump just throw it back the camera angle pans around like in a real game until the pitcher and batter are ready to resume. They took out home run hand shakes at the plate and never had the third base coach to shake the batter hand as he rounds third on a homer. They also remove the player that hit the home run to come out of the dugout to thank the crowd. There are no weather changes, no pre or post game shows, they took out the pre game fly ins to the stadiums, they have end of the game fireworks for the wrong teams and no pre game fireworks.

Maybe we'll see rain delays and doubleheaders this year...

[whitesoxfan16]

Scott somehow I doubt it!

How hard is it too add all of these really good ideas that's a real part of our game anyways to a already good game? Madden has a lot of these features like weather and field conditions, home stadium default touch down music and celebrations and crowd interactions to name a few

Please re-do the catcher animation.

How many times did I send the ball from my OF to home and when my catcher gets the ball, the slow tag animation starts and ends in a missed tag and a run scored ?
To avoid it, maybe we have to press a button to tag the runner ?


What was the theme of the 2010 game : "Nothing gets you closer" ?
I want that.
I want to feel the pressure of close plays.
When my OF fields the ball in an effort and the runner on 1st stops his run between the bags, I want to be able to make a quick throw to 1st and not been "blocked" by an animation.

Same thought on bunt, my guys fields it too "cool".

Yeah, the all-star thing is crazy. I wanted to find out who is pitching against me so I started the game and exited once I saw the pitchers. I scouted the pitchers and again started the all-star game but this time there were different pitchers! The lineup and pitching should be announced before the start of the all-star game--and no sudden changes unless due to injury. Oh, and yes, the voting should matter!

Yeah the all-star thing is crazy just like the gold glove awards! Too many orioles are awarded gold gloves, just ridiculous! Did anyone notice when a batter hits a foul ball at the plate the ball remains there until the picture receives a new one from the ump and all of a sudden the ball just disappears? On broken bats no bat boy to bring the batter a new!

If you are going to make a game and call it the best out there real fans of the game want a realistic game! You want our realistic $60 bucks every year for the same mistakes. I have played games and in the end or at some point in the game it freezes and that really pisses me off even if I'm having a bad game. What's the since in the franchise mode to add bill board advertisements but you can't see the bill boards of your choice around the stadiums? They took out the choice to change how your grass look on the infield and outfield grass.

When you have miles of code (not sure how much there actually is, but I'm sure there is more than you could imagine) there are bound to be glitches. That's why they work hard every year to remove the ones the can and get feedback on any that made it through.

Re: Ten Areas of Improvement for MLB 12: The Show

Question....

For you guys talking about the All-Star voting, are you aware that each team must be represented in the All-Star game?

Is it the votes you guys are saying is off or the selections based off the votes?
...and as far as the GG....it is with players having identical stats, correct? and it's defaulting to the first team on the list.
