MLB The Show 22 Ideas
-
I hope that they generally fix issues involving tracking for road to the show. It's still not working for a very small amount of players. I wish they would change road to the show when it comes to your interactions with your manager, agent and GM. They are randomly set date and pretty limited options. I think you only get to talk to your agent twice a year or something like that. A mechanic that I think would solve this issue is by having an option in relationships to talk with your manager or agent at anytime of the season. It really generic that you only get to talk to your manager for xp boosts. Many reasons that I think a lot of players would want this feature is because as a two way player in MLB 21 you can only switch your position within the first month of your career or if there is a superstar at your position and the organization asks if you want to be traded or switch to a position that you don't even get to chose. In older games your manager would ask you once a year and you could switch to your secondary position which you could change at anytime of your career in the general info of your player. With the freedom to ask at any time to be traded or switch positions would help implement what the devs were trying to do with class system even more.
I think this will make fans happier. Part of being a two way player that I like is you can one man army your team to making the playoffs. With the ability to change positions on a dime you can boost your teams lineup at the position with the weakest hitter or fill in for a good player who got injured. Being a utility two-way player would give the player more power to control how well his team does. Also I failed to mention earlier, but you should be able to discuss your role as a two way player to your manager. Also if you pick that you want to be just a position player or pitcher you should be able to change your position.
The last thing that I think would help road to the show for replay value is once your character is at 99 and you start a new road to the show they should let you participate in spring training. Taking your time in the minor leagues is a realistic part of a baseball player's career, but being 99 overall and raking in the minor till the early August is a little annoying. With this feature, players will be able to play with the current roster a little bit before the CPU makes trades. Also adding some more story elements would be great, but I believe features like this would help.
The last thing that I would like to add is a face of the franchise feature. If you are a super star for your team you should be able to talk to your GM about making moves to help your team. I not saying full control of your team decisions, but a system that allows you to give your input to the GM that can influence trade decisions or free agent signings would be a nice feature. For example, being able to talk to the GM like "hey we need to find a better first baseman" or something like that would be cool.

Better field management on RTTS. When I have a hitting streak in double digits my manager benches me, but then brings me in to pinch hit in the 8th inning of a game we are trailing by 9 runs in? How about if I am not in the starting lineup being brought in as a defensive replacement late in game, or a double switch, or more realistically, other than Dusty Baker, who the heck benches a guy with a 10 game hitting streak?
If I need to be benched due to stamina (which I am in the upper 80's in) then give me the dang game off already.

I would like to have an upgrade in Rtts. Maybe I can take over Mike trouts career from where he is now and continue his career. Also domes in stadium creator. Would also like to make custom hair styles or colors for my CAP. In DD I would like something like Ranked Season but put into casual mode. Maybe like the rateings but the rewards are not as good. Also would be just fun to have more legends and flashbacks even if they are bronzes silvers and commons. Also every thing that they took out
-
i want rainouts, doubleheaders and all missing throwback jerseys added for example the 1967 white sox home jersey or the 1995 orioles road jersey added to finish all the throwbacks for each team.
-
Revamped commentary. I am so sick of hearing how every guy is known for sinker changeup combination. I know they are, I play DD.

BALKS ON in online ranked platform ... to hopefully stop the QUICK PITCHIN

Hey to hell with all the Rest just get the dang Basics right first.

In franchise, more options when your contract is up. You only get high budget teams and there are only 4 choices. Some times I want the challenge of low budget teams. Give me more than just 4 choices.
-
Also in franchise, carry over minor league stats. It would be helpful to see players stats in previous seasons.
-
Option to change positions in RTTS. Maybe I start out in left field but want to switch to right field or second base. It would be cool if the team came to you asking to move to help the team (like they want to sign a player at your position).
-
Play in in All Star game as both pitcher and position player.
-
In Franchise, ability to improve budget (like in the past). We used to be able “buy” millions to improve our budget with stubs.
-
Agent calls more often in RTTS.
-
Rumor mill in both Franchise and RTTS. If you heard a rival was looking to make a trade deadline deal and you could counter it.
-
Franchise, know which players will be Rule 5 picks before the season was over. You could trade them away instead of possibly losing them.

-
A NEW DEVELOPER!
-
For starters, SEPARATE RTTS AND DD ENTIRELY!!!

a way to recover usernames on The Show account

Jim Rice, Carl Yastrzemski, Ted Williams especially added. But more legends added to franchise as the other legends retire. I’ve already had several retire already.
-
Among other things, I’d like to be able to run a cut off play for defending steal attempts with runners on first and third. In real life the catcher can throw to second and the short stop or second baseman can cut the throw off before it gets there in case the runner on third breaks for the plate. I feel like this could easily be done by using the cut off button since it isn’t being used to cut off a throw form the outfield. Cut off button should also be able to be used to throw to the pitcher when an infielder has the ball. Would also like to be able to pump fake the throw to second when the catcher’s meter comes up on steal attempts to second to try and catch the runner on the third in a rundown.

@foxfire1545_psn said in MLB The Show 22 Ideas:
How about everything they have taken from the game since 16 put back.
Career statistic rewards, after game reward cards, 8 cards in a pack and original pack prices, etc etc...I still play franchise in 2016 … LOVE that version …
-
I wish, no I would love it if SDS would add to the game players like Jim Rice, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Rick Burleson, Rich Gedman, Tim Wakefield, Alan Embree, Roger Clemens just to name a few
-
Be able to trade more than three players in a trade at a time, maybe up to 5. be able to trade comp picks like in real life. Be able to trade players who are under control without signing a contract. It happens all the time.

Would honestly love a visible community manager present on the boards.
FAQ section...
Easy to find links for reporting bugs, feedback etc.

As someone who has bought every single game since MLB the Show 13, I’ve grown very tired and annoyed of Matt Vasgirgian. One can only take so much “Santa Maria!”. I would like to see new commentators as long as it’s not the universally hated Joe Buck who is an idiot and gets to announce the World Series.
Also, there should be more ways for a player to get ejected than just hitting batters. I would also like to see a an option to get your manager thrown out of the game (arguing a bad called strike 3 for example). The player could decide how much they want to argue and if they decide to get their manager ejected, it could give the players team a boost for the remainder of that inning. I also think it could be entertaining for the batter to have the option at charging the mound after they get HBP and getting thrown out of the game or suspended in modes such as franchise. I’m not saying it should be like the old slugfest games, but I’m sure you guys could find a happy medium.
I also think that you should be able to have the option to challenge more plays than just beating the throw to first base (challenging the tag at a base or home plate).
