MLB 2k13 Wishlist

[Cardot]

Probably a bit late for a wishlist, but with the news of 2K13, I figured I would start one anyways for fun. Just 2 things for me:

1. Fix the colors. As much as I hate the Yanks, they are the flagship team of the league. It really kills the immersion when they come out in baby blues.

2. I am probably in the minority on this, but I would like an additional option for the pace of the game. Between at-bats and innings, I love the atmosphere touches: stadium/crowd shots, stat overlays, animations etc. But once into an at-bat, I want to pick up the pace. I don't have the patience to spend alot of time between each pitch. In 2K12, the option of hurry-up baseball cut this out, but also took out all the good stuff between at-bats. Real Time had great atmosphere, but was took too long. I want something in between.

i'm really not expecting anything big out of this game so.... I'll just wait and not wish for anything.

I'd like them to make playing My Player as a non-pitcher less repetitive if possible. Your character shouldn't play very inning of every game, even in the minors, and especially in the majors.

Fix the sluggish-in the sand OF running animations.

Fix the animations where there is a hitch in the throwing motion.

Fix the animations where the fielders will sometimes turn their back (or turn in a circle) before throwing.

Give us more classic teams (ala NBA 2K)

1) fix the uniform colors and hats. Also have the ability too mix and match uniforms and sock colors.
2) fix the jogging too the ball in the outfield by defenders, it should be just the main player near the ball that sprints, but however is close including more than one player.
3 fix the glitch that cause players too hold the ball when someone was running around third too home.
4 Better situation awareness from players on the bags and defending the ball.
5) Better AI management from the bullpen and have real-time catcher, pitching coach and head coach discussing on the mound.
6) Better end-game awareness of the crowd with situations, like if the home team is ahead, and a 3-2 count, have the crowd standing and cheering loud. Also better Playoff atmosphere, especially in the wild-card like with atl-vs-stl last year.
7) More stats overlays in-game, especially comparisons between the two teams playing in that game at that moment.
8) More color commentary and discussions between the commentators, and maybe a in-game report with injuries...etc
9) more variance with ball coming off the bat, hardly ever see soft-pop ups that just fly over the infield head for a base hit.

Definitely agree on this. Baseball lends itself to classic teams brilliantly. Would love to pitch as say Koufax against say Ruth.

1. Generated pitch counts
2. Make MLB Today Work
3. Expansion Mode
4. Build-a-stadium
5. Allow franchise games to be played in any stadium the user wishes

This will probably fall under "The Little Things", but have the baserunner(s) interact with the first and third base coaches like checking for signs, congratulate the batter who just hit a homerun with a handshake etc..., lack of This has been a pet-peeve of mine for years.

Also update Create-a-Player with more realistic face and skin color options.

Thanks!
