Things that San Diego Studios should add to MLB the show
-
Here are a few things that I feel San Diego studios should add to the MLB the show series:
-
Road to the show character can finally have a voice and can interact different ways in his career. For example, giving post game interviews, and talking with some team mates before and after games.
-
Road to the show story mode. Story is based on a Latin American kid trying to make it to the big leagues. Some interactions can affect your relationship with teammates and fans.
-
Finally add the World Baseball Classics to all game modes.
-
Able to add tattoos on your player (Except to the face). If on the Yankees tattoos are covered by long sleeves.
-
If signed by Yankees and your player has a long beard and long hair, he will have to cut his beard and hair.
-
Allow key players on each team and your Road to the show player to be Mic’d up during some games.
-
AI can spark random events like watching a home run or getting mad during a dirty slide. This will cause a cut science between players talking trash to each other. Two or more of these events and the benches clear. No fights but players can be seen trying to charge but get held back by team mates.
-
A new multiplayer mode called “The Field” which would allow online players to play 3,6, or 9 inning 7v7 and players can jump into fields if their Road to the show players position is open in that field. Joining a different position in a field will cause your player to make more errors.
-
Fan and player interactions. For example, fans can chant and yell out to your Road to the player if playing outfield and you are given different options of how you want to react. If a fan is yelling negative comments you can ask to have them removed from the game.
-
Crowd and announcers react much more excitedly during highlight plays.
-
Add different announcers.
I might be missing a lot other things but these are some things I would like to see added to the show.

There's no way SDS adds any depth, RPG interaction or just basic fun to this game. It's not what they do. They give you baseball, and granted it's not too bad for what it is. But that's all you're ever gonna get. Honestly it's a pretty shallow game.
I'm not one of those guys that have played this game since the inception, but I have three different versions. The animations/graphics get better but the overall gameplay fluctuates depending on how the developers are feeling that particular year.
So there is literally zero reason for me to ever buy another copy of this game. It's always just the same stuff. I guess if you're into card collecting that will drive sales but I don't care about that at all
-
Dont add ,just kill ranked season and battle royal.Do that and concentrate on a baseball game not a card collection fantasy role playing game.

Not sure about why story mode would have to be about a LA kid, but not totally against it.
I despise the WBC more than the DH and the current MLB commissioner. No thanks to that.
Regarding the Yankee issue I do like it and perhaps a cut scene with your agent or possibly in the front office before the contract is tendered for you to agree or not sign.
The mic moment would be too problematic. It would require them recording stuff and it would be very repetitive very quickly. However perhaps some way of doing this for online play if both managers agree.
I would like to see more volume given to the audience period. Even with the announcer volume at zero it's like playing in front of a dozen people.
I would love to see them have the most popular announcers in franchise history call the home teams games, and if a newer team doesn't have one then default to the current duo.
So for say the Cubs it could be Harry, or the Dodgers Scully and so forth. I know it would probably cost too much for them to do it, but the idea has merit.
I would also like there to be a more realistic drafting system. It's been years since I played Madden, but I rember a very detailed player creation and then based on a bunch of stuff, plus the combine your draft position would vary.
Say you attended a major university, did very well on the workout and combined with some other stuff (not sure what that would be) you could draft #1 and start right in AAA, or if you bust out you either go to AA and perhaps if bad enough you don't get drafted at all and have to try and make a minor league team's roster or get signed after a period of time after someone's player gets hurt.

I would definitely love to see the elimination of the card collecting. I would probably never play online ever again and not have to be mad about not getting access to all the bonus players. Sell the game for a set price you get instant access to everyone.
As a bonus, SDS no longer has to worry about stub and flipping issues.
Those that want to play online can then have at it and everyone has access to the same players, eliminating many matchup issues during the early part of the year.

Needs a co op online franchise vs computer . Would be a lot of fun and don't have to worry about people quiting or not playing.
Co op mode needs a option to play 9 innings. Yeah like baseball. Also needs a ranked system like online rated and DD.
Online rated finally lets us change our fkn jerseys!

I'd just like announcers that get a play right. No more stupid calls like a pop up called a deep fly out at the wall, etc.
Better play by play.

Can a brother just get more old stadiums and the ability to choose uniforms in Online Rated along with better graphics and animations?
-
Put a bullet in March to October, upgrade franchise mode engine to improve relocation, add expansion, billion dollar tv deals & agent/GM interaction.

Not too long ago, I suggested a limit on prices for cards, say 100k for the top level diamonds. I kind of like this idea, though. The way it might cause a problem is the rights money for all the players. The stubbs sales, I'd think, make all the Legend cardsespecially possible. I wonder if giving everyone all the cards at the beginning would drastically affect who's in the game?

Since this was the first year for the new announce team I think you'll see an improvement in that next year and going forward.

I don't know. I played the 20 and 21 seasons and there were plenty of similar bad play calling. For example, I hit a no doubt 450 foot bomb with Mr. October, and when he comes to bat the next inning they are describing it as a fence scraper.
I don't know how many times my leadoff guy strikes out to start the game, and as the second batter of the game comes up and I hear "this pitcher is on a roll now, he has struck out two consecutive batters and is looking for more".
Once I get my created player to the point where the last big moment in his career is past and I see if they say anything about it I will be putting the broadcaster volume at zero. If you play the game enough you already know what the play by play is going to be anyway.

I've already noticed additions to the commentary (or at least stuff I hadn't heard before) in the game in the past couple of weeks. (And there was, I believe, a commentary update recently.) So I think this is part of the regular updating for the game.
-
Not having multiple days where the game is completely unplayable due to server problems.

SDS need quit going to Hooters for lunch
