-Implement MLB 2k12 right-stick pitching controls. this needs to be tied into teh current system. in otehr word tie in pitcher moveent and release points with 2k's system.

-another idea to speed up games is to implement a Mercy rule. and allow us to pick the run amount.

Lots of good suggestions posted here, so I won't be redundant.

One feature I'd love that I didn't see mentioned is user stats. 2k actually did a good job with this. I want extensive hitting, pitching, fielding, stealing stats on how I'm doing across my various seasons/franchises/exhibitions. I want to see how I'm hitting as a righty and how I'm hitting as a lefty, as well as how hitting vs. righties/lefties ... all that good stuff.

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but even if it has, it bears repeating.

I would love something similar to NBA 2K's "Creating a Legend" mode, where you can choose a current player, and play with them in a RTTS format.

I would love to have the create a team notion carried out. Being able to build the team from the ground up would be great. That whole thing could be done like ncaa's teambuilder website and imported into the show. If not a team atleast be able to build our existing team a new stadium. Also along with the rainout and double header ideas mentioned earlier I would also love to see suspensions as well. Now I know they cant show the arguments anymore but to have to figure out how to work around one of your best players being suspended for 5 or 6 days in September or your ace missing a crucial start would add an even deeper layer to an already great game.

Nice ideas.

Instead of generated counts, make it so that the game takes into account a hitters/pitchers stats and makes it harder to throw certain guys strikes (more borderline balls and a pitcher suddenly losing all control would be silly). We wouldn't want meatballs to these guys, just more balls (which the game has had problems distinguishing the differences between with control).

Expansion mode, relocation, and random events, etc. yes.

I'd love to see more presentation work done. Also online leagues which would allow for users to update Twitter feeds, and even create their own radio shows.

One of the most overlooked flaws in the game FOR YEARS, has been that the AI will NEVER call a player up based on performance to MLB. Only because of injuries does this happen.

Doubleheaders, rainouts, etc. too. I believe MVP 2005 had this.

Deeper year-to-year statistics.

True roles for the user...am I the manager? GM? Owner? Why am I this weird hybrid of all of them?!
