My complete wishlist for MLB The Show 25

[beatlesnews_PSN]

I've posted elsewhere about what I'd like to see, but the list has grown to several posts and I wanted to combine them.

1. Make it so a showdown doesn't need to be started from the beginning to try and finish it. Make it so you can pick it up where you failed the previous time. Also make them shorter.
2. Make all BR, ranked and event cards available in an alternate manner (and not just paying a high stub price through the market) for those who don't do them. All players should be able to get the good cards. It seems like discrimination (yeah, a bad word) for those who don't play BR, ranked and events.
3. Make all grinds have alternate ways to finish them (not like the Halloweek program that had only the showdown).
4. Make shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts and hats available for sale.
5. Put out an official podcast that would posted more often than the videocasts (weekly?) and have playing tips.
6. Please make XP available for playing Challenge of the Week and HR Derby.
7. Fix the search engine on the app. It doesn't work as nicely as the one on my PS5 works and often comes up empty when I do what should be a successful search.
8. Is there a way to call up all of your posts here in the forum? If there is, I don't know it. There probably is, but if there isn't, there should be.
9. ADDED 11/29: Add at least one more space to save lineups in DD.

Do you also want a pocker game in a baseball game?
What about checkers?

Having balloons instead balls will be good too.

What about not having gloves but toilet paper as gloves?

Yeah, there is a lot stuffs that can be added to baseball games.

For DD I’d like to see the option to have 2 set line ups (only using the same 14 players) vs a LHP and one vs RHP. Platooning is still a thing in baseball - this forces managerial decisions, and is more realistic. It also reduces the urge to have the unrealistic all switch hit team. You can’t have an all lefty or all right team because you’re restricted to the same 14 hitters for both lineups

I would like for there to be way less non sellable cards , I understand that some cards need to be non sellable but there's way too many.
Incentivise other modes by rewarding with cards that you only get playing that mode . ( online rated , hr derby , rtts , franchise etc.)
Keep captains

@BobMurphy_MLBTS this would probably help with facing meta pitchers like Donaldson and Randy if only a little bit .

They used to do this but took it out because people would quit out of the menu if they didn't get a favorable match up.
