My MLB The Show 14 Wishlist

[Jakeness23]

We need a TeamBuilder type feature. Like you can create an expansion, or relocate a team online. Say I want to move the Astros to North Carolina and change their name to the Hornets or Cougars, or w/e the case may be and set the roster as the current Astros roster. I could change the logo, create a stadium, create the field, create the jerseys, etc. What would make this better, is if you could do it in the middle of an association. So after a season, you can choose to relocate the team, and then there is one season in between before the team moves to another city.

Also, during the off-season you can make upgrades to the stadium or change the team colors, jerseys, etc. So if I want to recreate what the Astros did when they changed their jerseys this past season. I have the option to change the team colors, logo or jerseys, etc. after each season.

Jerseys need to be less bulky, and look more like actual cloth. The running animations need to be improved to look more natural, the swing follow throughs need some improvement. The one-handed follow through when a line drive is hit and they follow through high and pose, looks awkward to me. And I don't think it looks right when the second they hit the ball they let go, they don't hold it all the way through the swing before they let go. Some of the throwing animations need to be improved or deleted and changed completely.


Short and sweet because I know the gameplay will be great, looking forward to seeing this on next gen!

going into next gen i'd really like to see a completed franchise mode, with A, short season A.

owner capabilities would be interesting too. branding your new franchise and all.

an entire library of jerseys, like every uniform ever worn would be pretty nice too

I'd love to see the fans catch a foul ball, I'd also like to see more defensive plays for my SS in Road To The Show, more contract offers when I become a free agent, and maybe more manager interactions, also a pipe dream would be to play Road to The show with other people let me be a SS and have 1-8 other players all on the same team I think that would be really cool probably never gonna happen but would be really nice

We should be able to put players on the DL when editing rosters instead of putting them in single A. Also, I don't like how older players in their late 30's regress at such a substantial rate. Many of them are unusable after the first two months of a season. Another thing that is probably not going to happen but I would love would be the ability to create your own draft classes. Another thing that annoys me is how there are so many fake players in diamond dynasty. I would honestly prefer only real mlb players. A cool feature would be the ability to argue with umpires over close calls. I forget what game it was but you could tap a fast or slow to argue a call and control how angry the manager would get. Players should also be able to argue.My final suggestion is to create a stadium builder. Almost every single wish list asks for this year after year so why not bring it to the new console?

I don't remember which game it was but I remember the manager argument "feature."

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that game also had bench clearing brawls? I'd kind of like to see something like that in the show. Nothing too crazy but maybe something that forces players to go to their bullpens and get creative because the starter got ejected.

[kmoser]

The game where you tap the button to argue was 2k5 I believe or 2k6.

My wish is to fix all the off season problems. Also advance training and scouting to become better than it already is. I believe there should be new animations created and like one person said the clothing needs to look more realistic.

1- Adding a single A system to each team. The "no memory" excuse doesn't fly with me on this one since there were games on PS2 that had single A teams. By adding single A teams, roster makers won't have to pick and choose which prospects and minor league players to keep and/or get rid of when they reach the 90 player max.

2- Fix the archaic stat tracking in franchise mode. If I'm in the year 2015 in my franchise and want to see how many doubles Evan Longoria had in 2013 or what Matt Moore's WHIP was in 2014, I should be able to do so with a simple click of a button, period. Again, the "no memory" excuse is a cop out. There was a whole thread about this one already and besides the usual suspects, everyone pretty much agreed with me.

3- Fix sim stats. There were several threads about this one already so I'll keep it brief. The league leader in strikeouts in the year 2013 shouldn't have 160 of them.

4- Make player editing/creating more customizable. I want us to be able to edit hot/cold zones, player contracts, etc. There have been plenty of baseball games before that allowed us to do all of this so there is no good reason not to let us now.

5- Overhaul player progression/regression. Too many guys' ratings are nosediving in their early twenties.

MVP Baseball had these features. I didn't mind them but I didn't hate them either. Here are 2 things I'd like to see.

1: Batter Confidence - The Pitchers have a confidence meter, so why not the hitters? I could see this only working when a hitter gets deep in a count, a 6, 7, 8+ pitch at bat. The deeper you get in a count, the more the meter increases, the better chance of a hit.

2: Scenario Mode - This was in the All-Star Baseball series. I think it's a cool idea to be put in the middle of a game and try to change history. Try to break up a no-hitter, try to close a game that in real life it was a blown game. They can be games taken from the previous year.
