I may have missed it but no one mentioned the camera issue in rtts. Can't tell you how many times I've missed the ball as a fielder because the idiotic camera view. Dynamic view is what I use in franchise. It works well for seeing where the ball is and where to place my player.
And I second... Or 3rd or whatever the discontinuance of caps. Did the devs ever consider how this would apply to real life? Can you imagine a coach telling the player... Look, your fastball is great, it needs to get better but I'm not going to allow you to improve. Or the player themselves saying they don't want to get too good. I've also had a coach tell me on rtts that my clutch is really bad, or k/9 or whatever... But then they don't allow me to go train. Even if I can train, more often than not, it isn't something the mlb gods allow me to up. It is so nonsensical it makes me think the ones that made thisode don't play baseball at all.
There's also that bug that doesn't allow you to train during or after the all star game. I have a CP that is 6 years in but locked at 83 because I am rarely allowed to train and when I do, I'm either capped or the gain is marginal. It truly is a busted mode that needs new devolpers. The old ones need let go.

I’m RTTS we should be able to get drafted whatever round instead instead of being drafted after the 15th round.

So true. This would mean more happening in the lead up to the draft (eg school or college gameplay, extended showcase). It really is long overdue.

Absolutely need, need, need to be able to have an open world aspect. I mean open world in the simplest fashion, I need to be able to go to the gym and practice field once a day for each gym increases the cap of the chosen ability and practice field increases the actual attributes. I'm on my RTTS Play in the MLB in LF for the Dodgers and I've been stuck on 65 fielding cap since I was in AA (skipped AAA) I check every single time I have the option to upgrade and not once has fielding cap been there. You could also argue that the Gym and practice field do the opposite gym is the attributes field is the cap or a combination depending on what you want to work. Like if you want to work power the gym is the place to increase the attributes and working on "power swing" is the cap if you want to work fielding practice fielding is the only option you can choose to work the cap or the attribute itself. Vision batting cages none of this mini game on the players phone BS you get in the cage for the same amount of time and work on hitting. Keep the ability to get more points for doing well in the event. But the fact I have not had the option in legit 4 months (in game time) to increase my fielding cap is not it.
So you want to take 3months to play a season and when you get the 2022 game you have played maybe 3-4 seasons because all your time was in the gym and practice field

Please read carefully what I posted I am not being insulting in any way shape or form I said "I need to be able to go to the gym or practice field" not that it's required because I also never said anything about taking the experience gained during games, like I said in my post my character has been stuck at 65 fielding for month of in game time and I'm never given an option to upgrade the CAP. This is simply adding more control to the player which is accurate to real life if a player struggles with something he is going to work on that particular skill to improve it that is all I want, if a person chooses to spend every available opportunity in the gym or practice field that is their choice. Also again true to real life before every single game is a practice that is 100% mandatory for players to be at if they are late or miss it they are benched and fined I'm not saying make it mandatory because then that would drive people away but make that available as the practice field/gym. I'm simply asking for more control. Again my opening statement was not meant as any type of insult because I specified that we should be able to go to the gym or field if we so choose.

I’m not a fan of the progression system in rtts, but I disagree that it’s too slow to boost overall. I’ve played two full years (one double a and one mlb), and I’m at a 92 at the start of the third year. That’s way too fast in my opinion. Playing on HOF difficulty, so it’s not like I’m batting .500 on rookie

An easy one to implement.
Let pitcher to have three different sets of pitching motions: Windup, Stretch and Slide-step.
Some pitchers have good Windup motions, but the Stretch motion assigned aren't. So I wish I could choose Stretch motion.
About the Slide-step motion, it seems like every pitcher in THE SHOW has the same Slide-step motion.

As show in the video, pitcher doesn't point gloveside arm naturally to homeplate. Could be better.

I would like the ability to play catcher left handed via rtts or create a player

A little bit more of a story idea would be good for the mode but to me the biggest thing that kills RTTS is realism. You get everything just handed to you and you have to earn literally nothing. It's almost impossible unless you really try to to have a decreasing stat, no matter how bad you are playing and even though you might be playing awful, you will still get the call up to the majors in almost every first year.
I know people here have said in the past they don't want to toil around in the minors and want to be in the majors right away but there should be some kind of option that makes it harder to get there so you will actually have to earn your spot. That alone kills the career mode for me. There is only 25 player spots on a roster (I guess 26 now) so they are extremely rare. It should be hard to get there. Also this stupid idea that AA and AAA are levels below the one that you choose is beyond idiotic. If I wanted to play on rookie in AA, I would choose that. If i set the game to HOF difficulty, then that is where it should be.
I am looking forward to the new game as I always am but I don't think they will fix many of the things that people want in RTTS and will throw 1 gimmick thing out there and say "we really worked on RTTS this year" like in the past.
I have been playing RTTS since 2009 and back then generally you would play one season of AA then one season of AAA then go to the majors. I had at times a player that never made it to the show and would play several years of AAA. occasionally I would get a player that would be called up early but not normally. Now you get there too fast and your player doesn't have the attributes to play at that level. I liked it much better when you had to work to get to the show.
I to remember those days!! But unfortunately the new age gamer are the ones with the voice nowadays. Just look at other modes- Battle royale 3 inning games but yet some of the highest priced cards on market, Events same short game bs b/c somebody cried about 9 innings was to long,
It's all about instant gratification new age gamers don't want to work toward anything and gain a sense of accomplishments.

3 inning games have their place (I used to play 20 x 3 inning games in season mode before it was shafted).
Conquest is a suitable mode for 3 inning games (its tedious enough as is, if it were 9 innings it would be dreadful).
But certainly they have no place in any rewards-based mode, at least not the way it’s done now.

Agreed single player that's fine or leagues. i actually was referring to only the MP aspect where rewards are concerned. -

(edit) My experience was 2010 or 2011 but same in regards to played a year in AA and almost a year in AAA but when u got that august or september call up your character was built to be able to compete at pro level but still also a long way from being maxed out.
In fact your contract would be like 5 or 6 years and then big money came when u hit free agency and then by that time your character was almost maxed out but you still had to work to maintain attributes. Definitely miss some of those features. -
love the open world idea...would love to see a sandlot style where you can line up 10 players and pick teams

@ktothemarvel said in MLB The Show ‘21 Wishlist:
Animations:
- Pitching animations tend to be slower than in real life. The animations need a bit more speed. Maybe time for a game speed slider?
Visuals:
- See more emotions in the game like players reacting to error on field, making a impressive play on field, pitchers not getting the calls they want, batters not getting the calls they want.
- Teammates in dugout chilling and cheering on their teammates who are at bat or on the field.
- Show managers mad/yelling about a certain call that the umpire made.
Commentary:
- Smarter and deeper level of commentary. The commentary is the same in every game. Maybe update the commentary every few weeks. Madden did this.
RTTS:
- Increasing overall should be faster. And caps should be removed. It's nothing more annoying than trying to increase a skill but it's blocked with a cap. Old school style of upgrading what you want with skill point.
- Ability to call your agent whenever and not just in between the season or off season. (example: demanding trade immediately, changing to any position, speaking with media). In real life players have full control over their careers .
- Switching positions to the one you want instead of the suggested one (example: changing from pitcher to outfield, catcher to infield, outfield to pitcher, etc). In rtts we can't change our position, the game chooses the position for us.
- Interviews with media that influence teammates to play better, encourage more fans to show up, boost team sales, boost team attraction for free agents to sign with team, etc.
- Make contracts actually mean something (example: buying different style jewelry, upgrading player skills, buying a house, car, personal chef , or trainer.) Like as you get better (more money) in the league you go from apartment to condo to home to mansion. Almost similar to GTA . The more top rank and money you make the better lavish your living situation is.
- Asking management to target certain players in free agency as well as asking management to keep certain players who you enjoy on the team like in 2K.
- Apartment, condo, or home in rtts would be cool cause let's be real players aren't in lockerooms 24/7. Also would be cool to see actual rings/trophies/awards our rtts player has earned like in a trophy/display case.
- After awhile of playing RTTS I found dynamic/boss challenges and player skill increase/player relationship icons intrusive during gameplay. These things should be more subtle, or optioned to be turned off. It makes rtts gameplay seem more arcade while playing on field.
- Keyword is control. I feel like letting the user have more control over rtts player would make it more fun on field and off field. Checking social media, talking to media like MLB Network, signing sponsorship deals to a brand, upgrading apartment to mansion, using contract money to buy tattoos, clothes, cars, equipment, hire trainer for offseason to boost overall, etc. Maybe some of this over the top but you get my point. 
Accessories:
- Fix the jordan 1's. The coloring on the top flap of the shoe should match the red color. And can we see shoe laces tied now?
- New elbow gaurds
- Baserunning mitts
Sorry bro, looks like we didn’t get a single thing on this wish list based on the Q and A today
-
A couple things I would want is franchise records being a part of the RTTS player milestones. While the milestones e.g.(200 H.R. tracker 100 Win Tracker) is nice, I do think it would be cool to be like my RTTS is second on the Orioles for career hits, or when I retire it says where I stack up in terms of all time wins in franchise or MLB history. If I'm the all time base-stealer in Orioles history that would be cool to know in RTTS. Or if you break a single season record for a franchise.
. Also adding career playoff statistics would be nice. Also the retirement process is very underwhelming, like after 20 years of playing for one club and you only get a couple clubhouse conversations. Month by month stat tracker that the user can view for all of their stats to get a better feel of how they are month to month.
Also allowing the player to set his own goals for the year. It would be cool to say my goal is to hit 20 HR's and 20 2B's this year, and receive an attribute increase for reaching those goals.
-
Two way player has been #1 on my wishlist for years so I won’t need to create two characters this year. Thank you for that SD.
My wish list as follows:
-
Rotating interleague schedules, if I want to play a career with my favorite team there are 8 or so teams in the other league I never play. Just give us 6 rotating schedule so we can get home and away interleague covering all teams.
-
Bring back the option to upgrade our players without limit or archetype. I have limited time to play, I want to be Babe Ruth Red Sox/Yankees combined. I want to be Roy Hobbs.
