I agree it’s a step forward. And I’m all about using classic fields if they add the Kingdome, Tigers Park, or hopefully Ebbets field. But when it comes to new ballparks. Don’t make the same mistake as Madden. Make different stadiums for different cities. Part of the cool thing about baseball stadiums, is the personality and uniqueness of stadiums. Build upon that

There is way too many cities to have a design for each. But they could do pre build stadiums for every region. Then a few that would fit just about anywhere. Or they could just put their time and resources into a [censored] create a stadium. Then we can create it to fit the area we want. Take a year off DD (like they do with Franchise every year) and get the mode in the game. Or at least something close it. I don't want to hear it's not possible on this hardware, when it was done in what 04?

"Take a year off the mode that makes them money year-round. Right.... that's a smart business strategy. Why don't we talk about something a little more realistic?

As much as I don't want to see it. There are other ways to make money in other modes. And if you stop pissing off people who enjoy those modes, they are more likely to support your game. A lot of people hate online play. I don't have 5 hours a day to devote to a videogame like some people. And I don't enjoy playing against them.

When will these game dev get it through their heads that not everyone is a nerd who wants to be a "pro gamer" and spends every waking min trying to compete online?

Let me start off saying that I hate playing people online and would love to see focus on Franchise. However let's face it, we are the minority. I have no clue how many people are pissed off about lack of additions or changes are made to Franchise, but if you post at OS, you would get the idea that it is a lot. So why do I say we are in the minority, because SDS does know, their marketing department is given the statistics, the number of users playing DD vs other modes. And if we weren't in the minority, then they would be focusing on Franchise and RTTS, but due to focusing on DD the fanbase has clearly shifted to DD and it will not shift back. So in the end they dont care about pushing off the minority of Franchise/RTTS players who make up a smaller base.

I stand by my buy every other year philosophy. No reason to buy every year unless you play DD, because that is where the changes are year in year out. Do something to give the company motivation to put more effort into these modes, because if you blindly buy every year, they have no reason to do anything, they got your money already.

at minimum we are getting a 25 man roster for A ball... if its anything more than that I'm not complaining because at minimum it means that you can play with your Single A team and could also potentially start your Road To The Show in Single A... plus if the minor league players aren't in the game it means that each team gets 10 more spots for custom rosters... I like having 100 as a nice round number for rosters... that's 3,000 players and I'm here for it

EDIT: Okay so I just saw the post from @OperationSports and Minor League players are legit in the game... not sure if they need MLB Service Time but from the looks of the thread they don't... come on Brett Baty

Realignment, my 1st Sony baseball vid game was MLB 2001 I fell in love with it because you could move teams to other divisions.

Still saying challenged failed on our end as well @Victor_SDS

This plus a text summary of highlights and milestones from the day's games please.

Also partner with Narrative Science to make use of Quill to create news stories from each game.

Where’s the schedule?

there is a derby...

I tend to use quick manage during post season games on my simulation franchises. gives me that feeling of some imersion without having my gameplay be a factor in the simulation. with sim franchises I tend to avoid playing the games as that would replicate my abbilities and skills, when a sim should be about just the player itself. so yes I love quick manage and i do wish they add a pitch count to it.

In franchise, the ability to change the managers number, especially when he has the same number as a player. And the ability to change hairstyles on the MLB players. I'd like to see Bryce Harper beard-less lol

Being able to pick a pitch hitter that ISN'T up to bat would be nice. Like the 2nd or third batter in that inning.

There is a double-play one that pays $15K or more per double play; not sure if it’s diamond but if you turn only two double plays in a game it’s worth it. Some games I manage to turn four or more. Just pitch accordingly.

Expansion teams would be great. The season is 162 games there is no reason why there shouldn't be expansion. Diamond Dynasty is the closest to one but clearly isn't the same as running your own custom franchise with your custom stadium. This would be a great addition where current and created players can be on your team.
