What Does MLB 13 The Show Need to do Next Year to Satisfy Your Baseball Gaming Needs?

[DJ]

To draw in a larger crowd, I would like to see:

Sliders be more responsive. We need a larger scale than 0-10. Make it so that those with slower hand-eye coordination can still pull a fastball. On default or higher, the game can be very challenging.

Playoff Mode. For those that don't want the grind of Franchise/Season, or just want to re-create playoffs from years past (would be huge for classic rosters. I can already imagine re-creating the 1986 playoffs) this would be a nice addition.

More stat overlays. MLB 12 did add more, but there's room for additional stats and standings overlays.

Keep the Beginner, Inermediate and Experienced difficulty game settings. I love this about FIFA, as it helps newcomers to the series figure out where to start and gives room for growth.

All the Little Things and overall gameplay will sell The Show. These steps could help sell more.

When will The Show get the contract with MLB? So it can do all the stuff with the rosters that 2K can do.

[CArty]

1. Update managers/coaches (Full staff) and let us edit them. (Age, record, stats, etc...)
2. Edit potential and service time and stats for players (So we can create MiLB Free Agents)
3. Fix retirements system (Talk out of retirement or people retire after no offers)
4. Edit contracts by year (Team/Vesting/Player Options, realistic salaries
5. Edit draft pool before franchise.
6. 3D hair (Shaggy hairstyles)

Yeah, when I got mine, the deal at Gamestop was $250.00 and that included the 320GB HD, Uncharted 3 and a choice of either Arkham City or Mortal Kombat Ultimate Edition... so with The Show it was like $310.00 and tax, walking with 3 games and the biggest HD they make...

Thanks for completely ignoring my post.... the online play is actually some of the most stable I've ever seen in any platform, except something like WoW... again, the only time I'm really ever experiencing connection issues is against babies who pull their cord -- and that's prevalent in any online game..

I'm sorry but "fix franchise -- it needs an overhaul" ought to be ignored... what exactly needs to be overhauled, its arguably the best franchise mode available in any sports game... maybe some examples?

Training -- when you work out in real life does it print you a detailed list of how your muscles were affected? The on-screen help does let you know exactly what each training session affects, and not knowing exactly how much to train is one of the variables that MLB teams have to deal with. Why would it just be scrapped? Same with transportation -- while I agree that all MLB teams obviously fly, the expenses do belong in an "owner mode." If you want to say that they need to do more to make the business aspects affect the gameplay more (if you're a shrewd GM, you get extra money on your budget for MAKING money) then I would agree with that. My point is that there definitely are some of us out there who really enjoy those aspects.

I agree with a lot of your other ideas, for the record... just hate it when people say "scrap it" to things that a great deal of us get enjoyment out of.

What is 2k able to do with the rosters that the show can't do because of not having full licensing with the MLB?
