    Hey guys. I’ve been playing MLB The Show consistently from the beginning, even playing a lot of it on my old PSP. I feel like I could honestly make a decent paycheck from this game by being a consultant for improvements to the game, especially for player appearance, game flow, and franchise mode. I’ve been compiling a list of improvements, small & big, to hopefully get out to the world, especially for a game developer to see and implement.

    • Have ability to add team themed headband under hats/helmets. I know some players come with them, but not everyone.
    • Be able to edit gear based on home and away games.
    • Less check swings and improve realism of them. Most check swings look clunky and about 10 years behind in realism.
    • Lead offs need a complete overhaul. Majority of times I take one extra step on the lead, even when I’m not stealing, I’ll get picked off. There needs to be some kind of skill/reaction based system in play to be able to take aggressive leads without getting picked every time.
    • Pitchers should warm up in the pen with their actual in game delivery. It’s annoying to watch a submarine pitcher warm up throwing with a different motion.
    • Above knee pants like Bo Bichette.
    • Ability to have manager argue certain plays. Can be a meter of how heated they get and can affect certain players morale based on personalities.
    • Infielders more realistic playing solid contact short hops defensively. Infielders often play a ground ball that’s hit 99 mph on a short hop identically to a weak contact Sunday hop grounder.
    • Hitters can wear the thumb padding which is common.
    • Fielders can have cut scenes in broadcast mode where they’re checking cards in their back pocket for defensive shifts.
    • Personality types for players more prominent. For example, a mild mannered player like Kris Bryant wouldn’t have an animation yelling at the umpire like maybe a Josh Donaldson would.
    • Rainouts turn into Doubleheaders. Would add some realistic stamina management for players. I.e. wouldn’t have the same catcher play both games due to fatigue of a doubleheader. Same with pitchers.
    • SP need more stamina. I always bump the SP stamina slider all the way right for my franchise. Majority of SP’s shouldn’t be getting tired at 80 pitches. And if they’re in a groove, stamina should be less affected. I believe there’s already a little bit of that in play however.
    • Minor League rehab stints for players coming off IL.
    • Ability to send Catcher only for a mound visit. Certain catchers have better ability to improve pitchers’ confident.
    • Ability to update faces of players mid franchise.
    • Louder crowd reaction and more intense commentary for playoff games. Slight shake to camera for crowd rumble during broadcast cut scenes after big hit.
    • Ability for players to leave buttons undone on jersey
    • Get more players’ tattoos in game

    Tattoos will be near impossible. From what I understand they’d have to pay the tattoo artist and they don’t have the money 2k Sports has to toss at tattoo artists. Their company is worth $24 billion and this one is worth $400 million.

    those are very good thoughts. tattoos shouldn't be labeled under impossible because it is possible to get them, it would just be expensive. I see your point though @fubar2k7_PSN

    I also feel like they should add something like AI announcement. I don't know it it exists but it would make it easier for the annouments not to be the same.

    I understand the issue regarding tattoos with licensing and detail that goes into them. It’s kind of one of those things that would be really cool to have but understand it is near impossible. Over the years they’ve added small tattoos on guys like Yadi’s neck tat and such. And I also think there are so few guys in MLB with tattoos compared to the NBA so it would be doable. Can’t be too expensive to add in Senzel and Duran’s tattoo sleeve.

    A big improvement to bring realism to the game would be to get rid of the flying bugs or monsters in the outfield like we had last year

    @Easy_Duhz_It_ But the flying bugs resurrected Babe Ruth so he could play against current players. Lol.

    My experience has been quite the opposite in terms of pitcher stamina. Pitchers rarely throw complete games irl in mondern baseball. In game, pitchers with 80 stamina seem to not even begin to deal with fatigue until over 100 pitches. Pitchers with stamina in the 90s wont run out until like 120+ pitches. Relievers with 25 stamina get left in by the cpu manager to throw 50+ pitches. Pitcher stamina has been one of my biggest gripes with the game recently.

    I still can’t believe people think 2k pays every player to remember every tattoo artist they ever had, locates them all, and pays them lmao.

    @fubar2k7 Can we stop with that [censored] "Player X has been dead for 50 years so its not realistic to have him in the game". I get it...the word "realism" is used and someone in the forums or social media has to make the same tired point.

    This is a fantasy BASEBALL game mode.... not a monster movie. Thats the big difference here. Babe Ruth played baseball. I've never seen Mothra sitting on the left field wall.

    Thanks for making my point that this is a fantasy baseball game mode where a female can exist. 🤔

    You won’t ever play a single game in the major leagues either mate. It’s a game mate. Get over it mate. If RTTS adding females bothers you this much then move along mate.

    @fubar2k7 Dont recall saying anything about a female not existing in the game. If that female has horns, wings and sits atop the scoreboard at Yankee Stadium, i take issue with that.

    One very easy change I’d love to see incorporated is picking your draft position for fantasy drafts in franchise. I hate repeatedly backing out and starting over until I finally have a top two pick for the chance to get Ohtani on my team.

    One change I'd like to see is where someone posts something that could lead to an intellectual talk about baseball and not turn into p!$$!ng contest between multiple members of this forum.
