ROAD TO THE SHOW 26 wishlist

MLB The Show should incorporate cut scenes, voiceovers, and cooperative, both local and online. Pre-game shows and post-game interviews are also essential. The game should delve deeper into the drama of the sport, such as the challenges faced by new players in the big leagues, including international players who encounter hurdles like adapting to a new country’s culture, food, and the pressure of being the greatest. These challenges can be explored through interviews and questioning. Off-field cut scenes, training, and decision-making regarding bringing a star player should also be included. Next-generation graphics and customization options, similar to WWE 2K, are crucial. These options should include more current hairstyles, facial hair, and face scans that look incredibly realistic. Additionally, better stadiums with realistic grass textures and travel scenes featuring the team on planes, buses, and cabs are necessary. It’s about time these features are addressed if the game is priced at $70.

All of your suggestions fall within the realm of greater depth of immersion. The avatar player character you create and play having these items working would of course increase the immersion factor. Immersion has always been a core goal of software coders to achieve in any RPG, and RTTS is very much an RPG mode.
Moreover, these sidelines should all have meaning and purpose to the development of your player. Right now, all the interviews are empty because they lack any developmental connection.
Finally, all of this stuff is quite easy to code up compared to coding up 3D moving graphics and a game engine to replicate the physics of baseball. This is why other companies have gone to these increased depths and put SDS way behind.
SDS won't do any of this, not one single item. In fact, I predict openly that they won't even do you the base level courtesy of providing you with any meaningful reply to your OP. And prior to my reply, I would have bet they would provide you with no reply at all, and likely still won't.
