A lot of this is pipe-dreamy. A lot of this is more realistic. A lot of this is taken from other ideas I have seen on the forum.
CUSTOMIZATION
- Actually give us all the minor league prospects, at least the Top 100/200. 20 left off some big ones at launch...
- GET RID OF THE STUPID MLBPA RULE!!! Anyone who has played and not retired should be in the game regardless of whether they have a year off.
- More roster slots for generic players in rosters. Sounds silly, but what if we want to completely customize our rosters and trade players to teams we want? We don't want to mess with realism of minor leaguers...
- Add your own CAP audio. Maybe create pronunciation key so we can add our own names for players??
- Create/import uniforms for MLB teams- maybe add image uploader like NBA 2K. Having to create our own logos is pretty tiring/time consuming.
- Team editor for MLB, MiLB (change location, set home ballpark (create ballpark), change manager/coaching staff, edit jersey numbers, pitching rotation (openers?)
- Unite edit player and roster management options
- Allow preference for DH in edit/create player
- Editable career stats
- tradeable single-A players
- release players without switching
- ability to set MLB roster size in play now (25,26,27,etc.)
- ability to play with 40-man rosters in play now
- Create-a-team in play now
- Create-a-ballpark in franchise and play now
- All-time legend teams for all 30 MLB teams. Make a slot like they did with minors. NBA 2K and EA NHL have this. It would be cool if they could make a separate Montreal Expos legends team as well like EA NHL.
UNIFORMS
Braves 1979 road
Mets 1998 road
Marlins 1997 alternate (black undershirt/pinstripes)
Orioles 1995 home/road
Indians 1995 home/road
1995 Indians alternate (navy blue)
Reds 1999 home
Reds 1999 Home Alternate
Brewers 1982 home/road
Royals 1985 home/road
Giants 1983 road
Cubs 1969 home/road
1988 Dodgers home/road
Mariners 2001 alternate
Also, update the BP/Spring Training ones!!! Make them look more like what they are!!! Some of those could work out as actual alternate uniforms (@Phillies, @Dodgers, @Padres).
And MAKE THE PULLOVER JERSEYS PULLOVER JERSEYS!!!! The buttons (look closely, they're there) take away from the authenticity of the uniform and era!
BALLPARKS
EASILY SCANABLE ONES
Olympic Stadium Montreal
