@SaveFarris_PSN
The second one was more focused on out of position stuff that actually happened rather than putting players in positions they never actually played in professional baseball. I see your point with the one about brawls, but the Crashout Program is just people getting mad, no actual violence -

Id like to see things like a dead ball era program, a juiced series would be awesome but MLB would never let them do it. There's enough guys they have the rights to to do a cycle program, an actual negro league program outside of storylines would be cool. There are so many cool things they could do.

A Deadball Era program would be amazing! Unfortunately, they’ve lost the rights to Lefty Grove, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, and Rogers Hornsby all within the last few years. (And I think Jimmie Foxx might have come along at the tail end of the Deadball era or just slightly after it.)
Baseball is a sport that really values traditions and its own history. The Negro Leagues stars have been an invaluable addition to the game (despite my quibbles with how they’ve been used). I hope SDS continues to do their part to keep this game’s beautiful history alive.
I wouldn’t mind seriously contracting the number of “legends” if it meant we could get more Legends. No offense to these dudes, but the money spent on guys like Richie Sexson or Rich Aurilia or Ryan Klesko or Jason Isringhausen or Ryan Ludwick or Raul Ibanez (or so many of that tier) could be reallocated on one or two legit legends. Again, no disrespect to those guys — they were all fine ballplayers — and I know everybody is somebody’s favorite player… but there are so many “mid” legends who we wouldn’t really miss, and that money could go toward true, inner-circle legends and guys who are truly part of baseball’s history.
Anyway, I’m just griping. My summer vacation is almost over and I have to go back to work in a few days, so I’m just stamping my feet and throwing a tantrum.

These are some programs that will never happen but I want to see:
Crashout Program:
Includes players who absolutely lost it during a game, this would have a Bryce Harper card, many moments to chose from, David Ortiz smashing the phone, Carlos Gomez attempting to break his bat over his knee, Nyjer Morgan spiking his glove while Adam Jones got an inside the park home run, and the final boss being Kyle Schwarber losing it at Angel HernandezYou're Not Supposed to be Here Program:
This would be players put in a big spot in a situation they are not familiar with. The cards would be Stevie Wilkerson getting the first save by a position player, Ryne Nelson getting an RBI single, and Chris Davis getting the first ever win by a position playerBrawl Program:
This would have players who started some of the biggest brawls, including Jesse Winker getting hit and starting the Angels Mariners fight, Jose Bautista getting decked by Rougned Odor, Amir Garrett attempting to take on the entire Pirates dugout, and Bryce Harper charging Hunter Strickland.These are the ones I could think of, what are some other ones you want to see?
For the brawl moment you could also use Clemens vs Piazza.
"I thought it was the ball"

@SchnauzerFace_MLBTS with legends i think they really need to expand the pool, especially with the introduction of captains and leaning more towards theme teams they need to get after more guys per team. Just for the pirates: Jack Wilson, Aramis Ramirez, Jason Delay, Benito Santiago and Josh Harrison. They'd also have to allow you to use those cards for multiple teams that they had played for up to the year that card is portraying.

None of your guys ideas bring in revenue, my idea brings revenue to spend on more legends .
The example i gave is have a sponsored program in conquest or mini seasons.
For example a program sponsored by Taco Bell where you can earn Albert Belle , Buddy Bell etc. They can create a cool Taco Bell themed stadium. Kinda like the bristol speedway stadium .
I just used Taco Bell as an example, obviously it could be any sponser. -

Twitter (and to some extent, this forum) is filled with angry accusations of “pay to win” and only being after our wallets. If we started seeing Taco Bell sponsorships inside the game, the MLBTS community would erupt into chaos.
And I disagree — bringing in the Negro Leagues stars almost certainly increased sales and revenue. If they could market legit legends, it would absolutely bring in some fat cash.

@SchnauzerFace_MLBTS yeah but this would literally be the opposite of " pay to win" , this would be free content to us .
The only one paying is the sponsor . Sports has always been supported by sponsors . Sports used to be free on tv because of sponsorship.
Now i don't want the game to free because then you're beholden to the sponsor. But free content , win win in my book. -

If SDS mailed everyone 20 bucks, half of their player base would flock to twitter to complain about the way they folded the bill. Adding sponsors to a video game (which — correct me if I’m wrong — doesn’t happen terribly often) would drive most of their gamers up the wall.
