MLB The Show ‘23 Wishlist‼️
-
General Improvements
- Better graphics. The player models and field look plastic. Feels like I’m still looking at PS3 graphics. Graphics need more life no offense.
- More player personality and emotions. Players interacting with opposing players while on base, players on field throwing up hand signs to indicate how many outs, players reacting to a bad calls, managers mouthing off at umpires, also show different facial expressions depending on the player and situation.
- Adjust offline user pitch speed for individual pitching animations. Often times some of the pitching animations take too long to release the ball. Speeding up pitching animations can help to not drag out a 9 inning game especially for Franchise and Road to the Show. Also feel like the pitching animations are a bit slower than in real life for major league pitchers.
- More sock height options. Players in the major leagues like Tatis with the socks being high only up to the ankles example: Greg Maddux.
- Better replay angles. I think replay angles from the side look better. Especially for batters and pitchers. Too many slowed down replays. Need normal speed replays. Balance it out.
Road to the Show
- Trophy room to show off awards and accomplishments like in a display case. Or in the stats section of your player.
- Salary and overall rating should be more meaningful. More money and high overall can show importance on a team like your role as a player and influence on team. Like maybe the manager respects your input on who should be signed, resigned, traded, etc.
- Talking to agent should be available at all times. In real life these players pay big money to keep a agent. Talk to agent about immediate release, ask for trade immediately.
- Talk to manager as well. On changing your position, your batting lineup #, suggest who to sign, resign, and who to trade for.
- More hairstyles and facial hair. Like bald guys beards should be a smooth gradient fade into the head not a straight cut off beard that is only meant for players with hair
- We need Tattoos please. Use the logo creator and logo vault for tattoos if you worried about copyright issues.
- More jewelry for example: earrings and different style chains like tennis chains and cuban links. Gold color and diamonds. Pendants as well should be added too.
- Better trade system and retirement system. Often times big name players like Trout, Tatis, and Harper to name a few end up on random teams after their contract is over and they end up retiring on that team they don’t have a history with. It doesn’t make sense for big name players who had 6-8+ years of a big contact to be traded or signed to another team after their contract is up.
- Realistic scoring. As a positional player, SDS gives CPU a crazy unrealistic advantage of scoring runs. If you score 2 runs the CPU will score 4 runs in the next inning if not more. If you score 4 runs to tie it late in the game. SDS will let CPU score double digital runs to win the game and this is every game series. You have to literally hit home runs with bases loaded to defeat the CPU.
Road to the Show can get stale after awhile so having more customization for your rtts player and interactions with a agent and manager, talking to media can add to the immersion. Having stuff to do outside of playing on the field matters too instead of us staring at a rtts menu.

They also unquestionably need to bring back the in game button toggle that lets you more accurately control what happens on the basepaths. It basically made stealing an impossibly chore this year, unless you wanted to interrupt the flow of the game and go into the menus every time you got on base.

I would also love to see a better uniform number system. Now, as you progress through your career, you will notice that your manager or other coaches would have the same number as a player, new teammates would steal an existing player's number, for example, on my Yankees, I saw Gleyber Torres change his number like at least 4 times!!! And sometimes, new teammates would take the number of players that have already been retired, like Jorge Posada's number 20.
As for retirement, I've seen retired players immediately be inducted into the Hall of Fame. In real life, they have to wait 5 years to be eligible. Another nice touch I'd like to see is retired players coming back to be managers and coaches!
-
What I want in the game/back in the game is:
My player's last name, WIlder, back on the call list. I really need that one. Wouldn't mind some new hair styles as well. And tattoos.
It'd be cool to have the Topps prospect games back. Not sure why, but I always thought they helped in the experience.
The social media aspect in Road To The Show. I always loved having both devoted fanboys and haters. I miss that.
It'd be cool to be able to take batting practice with my ballplayer, easily, from the main menu. Being able to take BP with your Diamond Dynasty team would be pretty cool too.

I just want them to let me use my real-life last name again, been flagged as inappropriate text the last 2 years.

I would also like to be able to see you accept the plaque at cooperstown.
