Good "question"......but I don't think that would effect a uni editor being added to the game.
You might not be allowed to load and edit existing uniforms....that I could see being excluded.

I for one hope it's in. There are some amazing uniform editors out there. They could create some magic for sure.

Its rewarding.

I don't need my hand held playing this game. I love how sim it really is with a clean screen, no visual aids, no guess pitch....none of it.

So like I said...I am all for it as long as I can shut it off. If not....hell no.
Agreed, but the lighting has to be better. I tried it on multiple monitors last year, but I felt like the lighting on the white of the ball was too flat and blasted out. Made it hard to detect the actual spin.

Re: First News on MLB 15 The Show Coming on December 6th - 7th

First and foremost, I would like to see expanded and simplified stat tracking. The fact that we don't have access to anything beyond the most basic stats from previous years/careers unless we write down the stats in a notebook or screenshot them is awful. So I can't check and see how many BBs a pitcher issued last year? I can't see a batter's OBP from 2 years ago? If a player split time in AAA and MLB, I don't have access to the MiLB stats a year later? Please fix.

One thing that I haven't seen requested that would be really cool for people who chise a lot like me is an automated recap feature. In addition to the box score and game log we already have, how about a brief paragraph or 2 that encapsulates important stats and high leverage plays in the game in write-up form? That would necessitate the coders writing in stats that include leverage like WPA and pLI etc... but would really help me (and others) with writing game recaps and having to compile data before writing.

Of the many good ideas and somewhat wishful thinking in this thread so far, here are a couple that particularly resonate with me.

I am really fed up with the "suck into wall" animation that lets a runner tag up and score from 2nd base. That never happens in real life, so that animation should at minimum be deactivated with runners on base. Also, the "barrel roll out of the way and fall down" animation for outfielders chasing a ball in the gap needs to go. I don't mind the glove patting for infielders, but the 2 animations I've mentioned here are things you will never, ever see in a real baseball game.

I agree that the night lighting at Petco and PNC make franchising with those teams all but impossible. If I were a Padres or Pirates fan, I'd be pretty steamed about that when the other 28 stadiums don't have the same problems.

Complete graphics overhaul. Specifically player models and lighting.

Retractable roofs (open/closed option is fine)

Better stat tracking

Make the game seem like a new "next gen" game rather than a nicer looking PS3 port.

Again, something like "Hitting Eye" from MVP would be nice. I'm not expecting it to be in, but if it happens...please let there be an option to turn it off. Not like The Show doesn't give the user these options for everything else in their game. SMH.
Thats great. I did not say its a bad feature. But The heart and soul of The Show is not a casual game. So my point was simply don't make something like the hitters eye standard without an option to turn it off. And picking up the spin without a color que is where I like to be. The PCI gives me the boost as a better hitter already....oh silly me.

You post reads as if your being attacked and your panties are in bunch. Read my post again. It's called an opinion.

I am not against that feature. As long as it can be toggled. I am not knocking it. I played with it for 5 years on MVP baseball. I just prefer the hitting game I have played for years.

Better graphics
Create a Stadium
Stadium atmosphere especially the wind. Example- with wind blowing out at Wrigley fly balls should carry and not just be lazy fly outs and wind blowing in at Wrigley balls should be knocked down.
And finally and something I've asked for the last few years- 1 button base running!

Re: First News on MLB 15 The Show Coming on December 6th - 7th

I love that all the wishlists jumped from the wishlist thread to in here... In any case, all we are likely to get are a few screenshots and a lot of developer speak. That's fine; we're still quite a bit away from the release, but I think people are already setting themselves up for disappointment.
