Some friendly suggestions for MLB The Show 23

[beatlesnews_PSN]

First off, I love this game even at my skill level (I guess I can say it's veteran). Always loved baseball as a kid and this game gives me the closest thing to being on a team and batting. So thank you, SDS. But I have some thoughts for you to consider:

• Add a little more detail to the instruction area: Two areas of the game that I think plague a lot of us (like they do me) are pinpoint pitching and stealing bases. But the explanation for pinpoint pitching is so quick that it doesn't detail exactly what you need to do to make it work. A couple of sentences that explain exactly how you need to make pinpoint pitching (and maybe the other modes, too, while you're at it) work would really help us to be able to improve our game.

• One thing on stealing bases that gets me is the indication that you move the left stick toward the base if you want to do individual steals. But how do you do that without interfering with the batter's swing? A little more information on stealing bases might help some of us a lot.

• Give small amounts of XP for practice, buying packs and Challenge of the Week. On buying packs, it wouldn't have to be a lot ... maybe 5 XP per pack, but it would be a bit of an incentive. On practicing and Challenge of the Week, again, it wouldn't have to be a lot, but it would mean the time invested would have a little more meaning.

• Maybe hold SDS sales of certain sets of cards (not using players' cards, but game cards) so that everyone can get a better shot at some cards.

• For those like me that aren't at the highest skill level, it bums me to see the Trout Finest that I have no chance of getting. I'm glad to see they changed BR to make just playing qualify, but it seems like there are various classes of players here. I guess, upon thinking, that probably will never change, but maybe something for the lower rated players would be nice.

• Finally, please have devs and support a little more available next year. (Heck, if I lived in SD, I'd volunteer!).

Thanks again for the game and all you do. The only other sports game I play is PBA Bowling, but I don't touch that every day like I do this one. This game is a masterwork. So thank you.

Agree with a lot said here already. Main suggestion would be stop messing with [censored] that aint broke. Get yas head out of marketing divisions [censored] and think Baseball. Its a great game , fix the online fiasco or come up with a logical alternative.
