Or they should just fix it so it doesnt screw up rosters if you already have them set correctly, because it happens in franchise mode too.

Probably too late, but maybe it can still make it in:

Mariners switching to LED lights for 2015

In MLB 14 Safeco still had the old analog ribbon scoreboards so I'm not too optimistic on the time frame...

Edit:

Here's a more in-depth article, looks like this could potentially be a big deal. I wonder if the engine the devs are using has a easy way to change between different kinds of light sources?

This is an easy one. All you have to do is make EVERY teams roster a 25man roster before the end of Spring Training and all lineups and rotations will stick.

Problem, with that is people complain and don't want to put in the extra work to do that. But, I agree with you. There is a reason for 30 team control and if people choose not to use it that is their own problem.

Franchise mode:

Spring Training needs to mean more. i.e Position battles, work outs to improve stamina/durability, if I play game 1 of the spring with my ace on the mound and I make him pitch 9 innings throwing 130 pitches, he should have a higher chance of injury over when I gradually increase his workload as the spring goes on.

Simming: Set innings limits/innings aloud to pitch in for bullpen pitchers while simming. An MLB season is 162 games, I don't have that kind of time to play games individually. To many times I'll start up a franchise game and my entire bullpen is burnt because the CPU uses so many relievers for no reason. Why does my closer have to pitch an out in the 8th and pitch the 9th when I'm winning by 6 runs?

Contracts: No-trade, bonuses, back loading $$$, player morale/interest. They need to be more in-depth.

Stat tracking: I would like to see more than the last 3 years or whatever it is, especially the PS4. Use the power given to you.

Older players ratings going down: I understand there should be a drop off at about the age of 35 but if I have a 93 overall player, it's pretty frustrating to see them at a 68 at age 36... They should have it so things like durability, speed, and fielding go down but they can still provide offence from say the DH position.

RTTS:

Drafting: I was a CF and I was drafted by the Angels, why?

Position Changes: ^^^ If I am picked by the Angels, ask me to move to RF or something like that, move Trout to RF. Make it work please.

Free agency: If I'm the best SS in the game, I would expect a huge bidding war for when I hit the Market.

Miscellaneous/In game:

-Blue Jays blue needs to be darkened a bit

-Maybe players in franchise mode could change their look a bit? Say I have Jose Bautista, who will occasionally shave his beard. Something like that would be kinda cool

-Ability to wear shin guard/elbow pad on just one side. i.e Jose Reyes hurt his left ankle in 2013, since he returned he has worn his shin guard on just his left ankle while hitting.

These are all great ideas that really should have been implemented a long time ago

Crowd Noise: especially in the playoffs, I want the crowd to erupt on deep fly balls, before they know if it's gone or not. It seems really dumb that the stadium is dead silent until the ball has gotten out. People lose their minds when the ball is hit hard, regardless if it ends up being a solid base hit, a homer, or just a fly out.

Drafted players gear/looks: I'm tired of seeing drafted guys wearing stirrups and having a Curly mustache with stupid chops for sideburns. Stop making that the default on half the guys you draft.

Give us a list of players that are eligible for the rule 5 draft, that way we know who to protect on the 40 man. Same could be done for a list of arbitration players. I know this is easy to avoid, but I've lost some pretty good players offering them generous arbitration + couple years of FA contracts assuming they will accept, then they don't. While I'm busy doing other things I forget to offer ARB and see them on another team at the start of next year.

Quick counts: love the feature and it's all I use, but when playing the CPU, and your pitcher comes up in a bunting situation, you should have the option to start at a 0-0 count. I hate when I let my pitchers hit wanting to bunt so I can keep them pitching, just to walk out to an 0-2 count.

For me, my biggest thing is franchise mode. But, altogether, here are the things I would like to see:

• An owner mode: Biggest would be the ability to move to a new stadium (even if there are just like 4 pre-designed stadiums to choose from like Madden). Would love to get the A's and Rays out of their stadiums. This could be expanded later to include relocating to pre-chosen cities. But second is to bring back the other items, such as changing field pattern, advertising, pricing, etc. I also liked being able to add additions to the stadium to upgrade it, and it would be even better if there was a way to see them (such as seeing the extra seating that was added to LF). It would also be cool to see owner contracts so you could take over another team later on.

• Closed stadiums: I don't even care to see it close, I'm perfectly fine with just two models with one being open and the other closed (like Madden). I also don't care to see double-headers or anything like that. If you're gonna do rain-outs, just make it happen after the point in which it's official so you don't have to worry about replaying it and the logic that goes into that.

• Contract and Trading: in-season extensions, more players being part of trades instead of the 3 slots allowed per team (to get a heavy prospect return packages), and then non-roster invites to ST. A trade finder would also be cool. Also better trade logic, like that of the online franchise.

• Player and fan emotions as a whole. I like the see a crowd that is engaged and knows the situations, especially in big ones.

• I'd like to see the player models be redone. The faces look nice now with the facial hair, but the bodies need an upgrade too

• For Online Franchise, the ability to edit appearance (gear and numbers)

• I would love to see the fly-over aspect expanded on. I love aerial shots of stadiums, so that would be cool to see. Not a priority though, and probably a couple of years off.

I will say that from the first fact sheet, I'm really excited to see the new IK system and to see what they were able to do with it. I'm also excited to hear more about the Radio Show and the new commentary. And then of course, getting name-brand gear is really cool.
