What are you most excited for in 21
-
After the gameplay this year in DD was rough, I ended up finding a renewed enjoyment for franchise and custom rosters. That’s all I played back before online and DD became a thing.
There’s a lot to nerd out with that though, so I guess I’m pretty stoked to see what improvements were made to Franchise and what’s possible with next gen.Hoping/expecting they decide to add back y2y saves for the future too!

I’m kind of looking forward to the forum turning on itself and SDS in the first week just to see how that pans out. At the same time, I hope it doesn’t happen and stays positive.

What I am really excited for is the hope that there won't be a 99 available on day 1 and they will slowly come out.
20's 99s that were available Launch Day:
The XP 5 (Sandberg, Minoso, Larkin, Posey, Jackson)
The XP High Diamond Pack (Kluber)
The Prestige XP Classics (Springer, Thames, Ramirez) --no one knew about these for a while, but they were technically available had someone grinded that hard.
The Collection Rewards (Biggio, Sheffield, Mantle)The next 99 wasn't released until 5/29 (Prestige Torre).
After that, the flow really started to hit 6/19 (FS Adell, Award Banks, Sig Jackie, Headliner 29 Scott)
6/23 brought FS Mize and Awards Gary Carter.
and we were off to the races. -
So far? Not a lot. Mildly interested in the Stadium creator but playing the different offline modes of DD (especially Conquest) you almost never play as a home team.
Certainly hope that there are more announcements coming up that will excite me.

This is a simple one, but I'm looking forward to starting DD "Day 1". Last year I started in RTTS, and didn't pick up on DD until May. I'm not an "A" player, but have struggled with some of the RNG, check swings, etc. I'm curious to see how good (bad) I really am.
I think that I'm a true 12-0 BR player and a WS ranked season level, but RNG has held me back. MLB 21 will prove me right.
I'd also say I'm highly delusional.
Yea I agree i think I will be at least above average and be able to get to World Series and get a few flawless runs. Being competitive on the World Series level is a whole different story because any improvement in input we get. Those players now also get that uptick in input too. So people are going to be really good -

For me it’s pinpoint pitching. I think it’s going to be a game changer for the advanced player.
I hope you are right but I have a feeling this will be a huge letdown and not be an improvement

Pinpoint pitching is way harder then people realize. People keep saying “it’ll be the most accurate”. And that’s true but that’s because it’s going to be the hardest to use. Think about in a tight game runners on and you are trying to execute all those pitches with a guy you just brought in. To use pinpoint correctly you will literally have to practice with individual pitchers. So what you gain in accuracy you lose in difficulty. Personally I think I’m going to stay with meter only because as much as “perfect meters are accurate” they seem extremely hard to get consistently.

Create a stadium. Because I enjoy the design and have several great ideas. I just hope we get to place customized ads and logos.

This is gold lol. Thank you for making me laugh today! If I'm being honest though, I feel the same way about myself lololol.

Thing i'm most excited for at this point is seeing all pre launch videos and legend reveals prior to launch. Post launch just excited to just dive in and play every mode, whatever i'm in the mood for!!! (If i am able to afford it or not) Still have alot to do in 20 so if not well 20 is ok with me still.

I'm excited for someone else to put the hours in to make Ebbets Field so that I can download it.
Yes, I want to see how good this creator is, if old stadiums can be recreated with good accuracy, it really comes down to the amount of options for everything from grass type, seat color, roofs and pillars, plus placement of said objects.
I honestly think most of us are going to be real disappointed with how recreated classic stadiums are going to look nothing like the real life counterpart. SDS figures most people wanted this for a custom new stadium, not making classic stadiums, I do hope I am wrong.

I'm most excited for the first weekend of the game. That's about it at this point.

Saving my $100. If I want to play a game and not get rewarded for my input, I'll just play MLB The Show 20.
I’m excited about you possibly getting better internet. Did you play the beta? The pitching looks to have potential this year.

I feel like they’ve been slacking. Soriano and Sizemore? Last year we had maddux, glavine and smoltz, mantle, Ortiz, Moe, DAN PLESAC
MARK BUEHRLE GEORGE FOSTER JUAN PIERRE
RYAN KLESKO DAVE KINGMAN, Leiter, Sheffield, biggio, and others.This year we are a month away and we get Grady Sizemore who really is only a legend in a video game...and Alfonso Soriano?
On a positive note though I’m fine with no new legends if the game plays really good. So
