Some Requests for Modifications or Additions [Devs, thank you for your consideration]

This year's version of The Show is fantastic so far - no surprise there. Having said that, particularly as someone who spends an inordinate amount of time creating content for myself and others to use, I'd like to request some modifications to the game, changes which would greatly enhance the immersion factor of The Show. Thank you for taking the time to read what I have to say.

1. Increase available number fonts - the game has at least 40 fonts which the system uses to render player jersey numbers, yet we have access to only 10 of those when modifying uniforms. Let us use the other 30, please.

2. Increase available lettering fonts - having access to all fonts in the game would be a simple yet major improvement.

3. Alternate Uniform Set(s) - please let us create at least one Alternate set in addition to the Home and Away sets we are currently able to set up for our teams. I believe that having as many as five sets available for any one game would add to the immersion level in a big way, thereby increasing enjoyment of the game(s). Just take a look at the vault(s) for insight on how much many of us enjoy creating content for ourselves and others, while also noting how many images are downloaded dozens if not hundreds of times.

4. More uniform flexibility overall - it would be fantastic if we could set sleeve logos, special edition logos (franchise anniversary, that sort of thing).

5. Stance Socks - let us customize these, please... at least with the colors. For example, the St. Patrick's Day Stance socks are quite valuable, but many players won't use them for the simple fact that they look absurd in conjunction with nearly every uniform combination in the game.

6. Sleeve Edges - in many instances, the uniform shirt sleeve gets blended in where it overlaps an undershirt, performance sleeve, etc. Please try to fix this one, as it just looks odd when it happens and is a stark immersion breaker in my opinion. Perhaps it's something as simple as having the uniform shirt be an object which is itself overlaid as the top layer on the player's torso?

7. Female Players - particularly in RTTS, the ability to add female players would be a MAJOR enhancement to this game. It's a matter of time before various female athletes make their ways into professional sports. In baseball, I suspect that the most likely positions for the first batch of women to make the majors will be 2nd basemen and knuckleball pitchers. I will be very surprised if women don't make up at least 5% of MLB rosters by 2050. Considering a separate angle, imagine how many young girls out there are big baseball fans (I've raised two of them) but who cannot get the same kind of enjoyment as their brothers, male friends, etc from The Show.

8. Tattoos - I'm honestly surprised that an option to add tattoos doesn't exist already.

I have a number of other suggestions, but I think that this list is quite long enough for a start. Thank you very much for the time, effort, and passion you put into creating this game, SDS.

All the best to you and yours.

As for the letter and number fonts, I realized a bit ago that if we had access to all of the fonts the game uses we could/should have way more than 40... because many of the minor league teams have unique fonts of their own.

Adding these already-defined letters and numbers to our selections in uniform settings would be a huge and wonderful addition.

Careful, a lot of resistance to that idea here. Not from me, I think it’s hugely important. There are two angles that SDS can take to bring female players into the game without upsetting the Boys’ Club. One you’ve nailed above (RTTS) and the other is from left field but so obvious because the platform to do it is there already.

Counting down to the ‘leave women out of our game’ replies to your post... 5... 4... 3...

One thing I would like to see also is left handed catching available. It's the only position you can't play left handed

Please bring multiplayer co-op mode with 2v2 similar to Madden MUT Squads!!!

I would love for that to happen, females don't hurt the NHL video games why would it hurt a MLB video game?It comes down to this, if you don't want to play as a woman then don't.

1 blank stadium for PS4 or let me put grass in the Rogers Centre, just give us a little nugget.

I still can't imagine why they don't let you create a female RTTS character. They market it as "put yourself in the game" but alienate a substantial set of gamers by not allowing a female character. It's long past time and all arguments against it are wrong.

We want mlb the show VR!!!!!!!@!!!@
