Equipment
-
For the love of everything, changes need to be made to the equipment we can use on our players.
For example, the Nike Huarache lows are worn by 75% or more of players in the majors and they weren’t available in 24. Hoping they are available in 25, but through watching all the live streams and videos haven’t seen a single player wearing the low versions yet.

My idea for equipment in RTTS would be to totally divorce all concepts and methods of player development from equipment. Make all the equipment freely available within the game in Franchise and RTTS. If SDS wants to make it a earned development reward in competition play within Diamond Dynasty, then so be it, since everything in that game mode is reward based anyway.
But, RTTS should be 100% about developing your avatar player based solely on the quality of that player's on-the-field performance. Make a good play, get an increase in performance in those areas related to that play. Make a bad play, and the performance measures are reduced.
The idea that players in the minor leagues would be forced to use poor quality equipment is utter nonsense. Nearly all high schools, all colleges, and certainly all professional teams in baseball, freely provide the top of the line equipment to their players.
The paid promotional tie-ins are still retained, and in fact, a cool piece of feedback would be the way equipment is selected in RTTS and Franchise when it's all freely available. It would be some of the most accurate and desirable marketing feedback available to any company.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL I totally agree!
I also just want more equipment options in the game, if a pro wears it, it should be available. I understand the contractual side of it. But all the major brands are already in the game, just add more options from them.
I play RTTS to feel like I made it to the majors, much like most people do I think, I don’t want to be limited on what I wear when I’m doing that.
