-Saving exhibition games

-Fully customizable HUD (options to not show certain things)

-Upload created uniform/team to the vault

-Upload custom camera to the vault

-Never been a fan of the interface.
Hoping for a complete overhaul next year. The basic menu structure has been the same for years with little
changes from year to year.
More user friendly please!

-while pitching give us the same pitch history option by pressing R2 as you can while batting

-Use created DD team in exhibition/season/franchise

-crowd ambiance improvement (they're standing up way to much!)

-4pm starting times

-(Out)fielders interacting with foulballs coming/rolling right next to them instead of ignoring them completely

-Strike 3 foult tip in glove out?

-Ditch the cut-off man after the throw? Holding L2 button to cut-off and release when you want the reliever to let the ball pass him.

-add a difficulty to cathing fly balls, right trigger or R3 stick to raise your hand/glove

-Make dives in the outfield a little easier. It was ok in 08 and 09 but since 10 its almost impossible!

-Finally give us full control over slidings

-Highlite the player's name when there's an overlay for him. I always have to do a quick scan. Such an easy touch!

-On a homerun the base runners still start to jog right after the ball is hit which gives away that its a homerun even before it goes over the fence. Same with balls in the gap that could be caught by the CPU where the baserunners allready tell you the outcome by stopping half way or keep running.

-Full manual option for pickoffs so that it's not completely based on ratings but more on your own reaction time if you get back on time or not.

-After a linedrive is caught by an infielder he stands there as if there is another play to make. When there are runners on base this makes sense but they almost always go to this animation. This is not necessary when the bases are emty or there are 2 outs.

-Let the pitcher (from time to time) turn his head to check the runners on base before the pitch. Always wondered why this isn't in.

-Field chatter

-weather changing from overcast to sun for example. Game starts out with overcast and then it opens up in the 6th with some sunbeams or the other way around. That would make the game feel even more dynamic.

-the possibility to jump into the middle of a season and take it from there, or in September—six months after release—use it as wish fulfillment when their team starts to fade. That type of functionality would properly differentiate this from MLB Today, and turn it into a pick-up-and-play season mode that can deliver the full context of a pennant race.

-add baggy (oldschool) uniform style
