Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

1. Fix weather issue of having players automatically wear longsleeves, the temps are crazy and off. One day it's 32 degrees and the next 67

2. Sign players to extensions that are not free agents

3. Have counter offers made when you propose a trade

4. Have some type of a system that knows how many of the same FA are signed with how many are on the roster. Example the Yankees signed 4 aces in the offseason while still having Pineda, Hughes, Nova, Kuroda

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

Not that my opinion counts but I actually really like pulse pitching

I also fell in love with pulse pitching and feel that it emulates the real mental side of pitching like nothing else. I love how it makes you focus and concentrate to throw a good pitch and it makes me appreciate every pitch and feel like a real pitcher

Then you should be really happy with 13!

If they implemented a way for us to control velocity and added the occasional wild pitch every so often it will be perfect

It had its flaws where the system had this imaginary vortex and pulled mistimed pitches toward the center of the zone. It needed to be more erratic around the zone as opposed to constantly punishing you down the center of the plate.

I agree. I went back to meter pitching because with pulse it felt like everytime I missed being perfect, the pitch was over the heart of the plate and the CPU would constantly light me up for a big hit. If they can add randomness to where the misses are and how much effort we put into pitches, that actually works, then I think this could be the best pitching feature yet.

That is the end goal for the mechanic and think we should be (hopeful) able to experience something like that in 13.

I strongly agree about the "meatball" factor and I hope we will see more erratic pitches with mistiming but I would still like to see the occasional wild pitch be uncorked even on well timed pitches just for the unpredictability factor that pitching has

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

I personally never had a problem missing in, out, or down, but it was ridiculously hard to throw a pitch just above the strikezone. 99% of the time the ball ends up in the top third of the zone or way above the batter's head...

What I really want out of the pulse mechanic is the ability to control velocity, and hopefully the relationship between velocity and movement is fixed this year (in previous years it was reversed, so higher effort meant + velocity and + movement, should be + velocity and - movement).

Interesting because that location is money for me. Also, I do miss all around the strike zone but the system currently favors the center of the zone if you mistime your button press.

It must be an approach thing then because the only time I get the "black hole" effect is when most of the circle is in the strike zone and I mis-time the pulse. I play on Legend with consistency (the slider that controls the speed of the pulse) at 2 and the only time I miss in the middle of the zone is when I'm being careless. I get the feeling that people are too afraid to aim way out of the zone, because when I'm trying to clip the corner I usually aim in the other batter's box and I either miss out of the zone or paint the corner...

1. 2 variations of knuckleball, hard and soft. R.A Dickey is totally off in the show because you can't make the hard knuckleball.

2. More fielding control in general. Less pre-set animations that take control

3. Better 3d support. I see ghosts when I play

4. Manager arguments, ejections etc.. (is this in? It never happens for me.)

5. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE improve the trade system. It makes no sense. I would like you to be able to offer a player and have the computer offer potentials back. It should be more of a two way street. Counter offers etc..

Allow us to play any position as a lefty in RTTS.

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

1. Add Tiger Stadium to classic stadium
2. Get rid of the ugly sweat lines on the hats. Why the hell would a manager be sweating through his hat?
3. Classic batting stances. I want to be able to use guys like Mantle, Griffey, and Ruth.
4. Better fielding control
5. NEW COMMENTATORS

I like the current commentators. Way the hell better then the 2k ones.

Re: Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

A nice way to boost up presentation would be giving us a first person view of the player walking up to the plate sometimes. If it was a big situation, you have your big hitter coming up, it would be cool to see it that way.

And I always hope they put Tiger Stadium in the game. I would play all my home games there. Even if they put it in current form, with just a field and then dirt and a chain link fence, I would love it! haha.

You can turn on ejections and balks ect.
