I just wanted to say I'm really enjoying the tech test the past few days and previous games in the series as well. As a former player I had a few thoughts that might really add to the authenticity of the game.
I think having more sounds in game like the interaction between players would really make for a more realistic game. If you have a pitcher that's struggling let's have the catcher saying encouraging stuff like, "settle down here, we'll get him right here or something like you and me", to get the pitcher to settle down. I played with multiple organizations in my career and as a pitcher had a ton of different catchers. But I didn't perform as well with some catchers versus others, for example I played with Kurt Suzuki in Oakland and he was probably the best catcher I had in my career. He always knew how to settle me down when I struggled with location. This can be an attribute that's added in game.
The same can be said for the position players, have them chatting more in the field of play. If there is a man on 1st with less than two outs show the pitcher indicating to the SS that he's turning two with him if the ball is hit straight to the pitcher. Also have the infield shouting out how many outs there are, pumping the pitcher up when making quick outs or encouraging him if he's struggling a bit. You don't want it to be overly chatty because that's not realistic at the professional level but people are talking throughout the game. All these things can be attributes that can be added and modify for each player that can really add to the realism of an already great game.

Sds listen to persons like this. They can make game better because they know how it is in reallife.
Which teams did you play?
-
I was in the minors with Seattle, Tampa, St. Louis and finished with Oakland. I was called with Oakland my last year but ended up hurting my arm the night I was getting allied up. It was my second shoulder injury and basically ended my career. It sucks but I don’t regret a thing. I got to do something I love for 10 years and made a lot of good contacts amd life long friends. Now I live through teammates that are still playing and this great game.

I wouldnt like the modifiers part cause the system is way too complicated as it is, but hearing all that during the game, well they couldnt implement it fast enough for me.

Since you were called up, did SDS give you a Real 99 card?

@Blind_Bleeder Nope, I was a top prospect but fell off due to injury and you need to not just get called up but also step on the field to receive big league benefits which I believe also includes licensing for likeness in game. I would love to work on the game. I have a lot of ideas and things I would bring to the game that I experienced while playing.
-
@PAinPA_PSN Yeah they would have to figure out a way to implement it while also making it fun and immersive. It can’t be overwhelming and annoying but just enough to make you feel you’re really a part of the game. Dev time is definitely too short to implement a lot of this stuff . But they can add little by little each year.

It would be awesome if you could be a consultant or something.

@Blind_Bleeder I would love that as well, thanks for the support.
