MLB 15 The Show Wishlist, Ours and Yours

The ability to edit coaches' numbers. Editing names would be cool too but I MUST be able to change their number. Drives me mad when I sign some random coach and it turns out he's wearing the same number as my star player or a retired number.

Speaking of retired numbers, I know they've pre-programmed the real retired numbers, but I'd like to be able to retire more, for my team and others, as the franchise progresses. I know you can edit players' numbers and stuff but still. If I'm playing against the Yankees next year and some guy comes up wearing #2 (because it's not officially retired by the team yet) that hurts the immersion.

If they could pre-program World Series banners or something that would be great too. Like the Giants have banners for their World Series-winning years on the outfield wall. They'll add a 2014 one next year. If I'm playing as the Giants and win it again in 2016, I want another one added, etc. Basically just copy the designs of whatever the team does to acknowledge its World Series wins and set it so more get added to the stadium the next year if they win. As it is now if you win the World Series the next year will start and it's like nothing happened.

Most major things are all covered here.

a small graphical thing id like to see that NBA2k nails is the shimmer effect material for numbers. On the Show they are flat and matt looking, even a waxy texture.

Anyone who has played 2k on last gen or this gen will know what i mean and how realistic looking they got that material looking

A few things I'd like to see...


I'm happy we'll finally have RTTS year-to-year saves. It would also be nice to be able to carry over your created player but not necessarily their career. I may want to start over but without spending all the time creating my player's likeness again. It would also be nice if rosters could carry over so all the guys that create the full-minors and other rosters don't have to start over from scratch.


One minor area that I feel like has gone backwards over the years in RTTS is being aware what's going on with your teammates and the rest of baseball. I've noticed players on my own team missing only to find out they were traded, injured, or sent down to AAA. I also liked the newspaper game summaries to keep up with games I didn't play in. Maybe something that will improve with the new Radio Show.


Trade logic is a little goofy at times. Playing for the Cubs in RTTS, Javier Baez and Kris Bryant had both been traded away by the end of the first season with little return. I realize these were user-created rosters but they were ranked appropriately as up and coming prospects on a rebuilding team. Trades just seem a little off sometimes.


Last, I'd like to see the new Wrigley renovation in the game. This may be wishful thinking though because they only recently finalized the plans with the landmark commission and it doesn't look like it will even be complete by opening day.


Thanks the development team for actually taking input from us. I was still blown away when I put in a request on here for my last name, Heitz, to be added. I checked the day the game came out, not expecting for a minute that it would be there, but there it was with Matt Vasgersian pronouncing it correctly. No more Heinz RTTS player for me. Thanks!

I've been saying it for years, but the salaries need to either be modifiable (like with potential) or they need to somehow account for bloated contracts and proper budget restrictions.


It's just way too easy to overlook bad contracts (BJ Upton, Uggla,etc.) because they are so relatively low that it's easy to eat them and still sign whomever I want.


That's my biggest issue with the game - budget/trade/FA logic.

Madden doesn't do a whole lot right... but I have to admit, I was impressed with M15's presentation. It mimics a real CBS broadcast pretty decently. The Show has to hit that bar (or raise it).

Simple request. Add a "play next appearance" option after a road to the show game so you don't always have to exit and go to your main screen to advance to the next game. People would LOVE that option and use it every time they played.
