Still Missing Something.
-
I just want to say I love all the new features they are adding this year. Although there is one or two features I’ve been wanting to see for a long LONG time.
One feature that has been noticeably absent from the game is ejections and arguments with umpires. In real-life baseball games, these moments can often be pivotal and add to the excitement of the game. It would be great to see these moments captured in the game, and to have the opportunity to argue a call with the umpire and potentially get ejected from the game.
In previous baseball video game franchises, such as MLB 2K, ejections and arguments with umpires were included, adding an additional level of drama and realism to the game. For example, when a player is called out on a close play, they could argue with the umpire, potentially leading to an ejection from the game. Similarly, if a player is hit by a pitch, both the pitcher and manager could be ejected if the umpire determines that the pitch was intentional.
•Potential Consequences.
If ejections were to be implemented in MLB The Show, the consequences could be significant for both the player and the team. If a player argues with an umpire and is ejected from the game, they would be removed from the game and would not be allowed to continue playing. This could impact the team's performance, as the player would no longer be available to play and the team may have to adjust their lineup or strategy accordingly. Additionally, if a player is ejected from a game, there may be further consequences beyond that game. In real-life baseball, players who are ejected from a game are often subject to fines or suspensions from the league, depending on the severity of their actions. It's possible that the game could include similar consequences, such as a fine or suspension for the ejected player, depending on the severity of their actions. In addition, if a player receives too many ejections or argues with umpires too frequently, it could impact their reputation and make them less desirable to teams. This could add to the overall realism of the game and encourage players to act professionally on the field, as they would face consequences both in-game and in their virtual career.
Another feature that would be great to see in the game is the manager's challenge system. This system, which allows managers to challenge certain calls made by umpires, has become a staple of modern-day baseball and has added a new level of strategy and excitement to the game. By including this system in the game, players would have the opportunity to challenge calls and potentially change the outcome of the game, adding to the overall realism and strategy of the game.
I understand that there may be concerns about the inclusion of these features, such as the potential for added drama or the difficulty of programming the various scenarios that can occur. However, I believe that with careful consideration and attention to detail, these features could be implemented in a way that adds to the overall experience of playing the game.

This has been covered many, MANY times, but since you're new, I guess we have to go easy.
Arguing with umps, brawls, any sort of in-game violence (physical, verbal, or otherwise) is expressly prohibited by the MLB license regulations.
