QOL Changes For MLB The Show 26
-
Alright, boys. It's that time again. Let's get down to it.
Bring Back Sounds of the Show
This is a no-brainer. The standard PS5 does support media players so I'm not sure why this was removed when they stopped making The Show for old-gen and didn't just carry over to the PS5. I reserve the right to upload Seven Nation Army if I choose to do so. Or...just give us a better soundtrack.
Real Player Headshots
This was a subtle but weird change in MLB 25 franchise mode. Every other game uses almost every single player's real IRL taken headshot, yet SDS decided to remove this and use headshots with game graphics instead. It's weird, it's lazy, it's unrealistic. If it's not a rookie, bring it back. And if that rookie becomes a star or an everyday or even platoon guy, update it. If a player gets traded, use AI to alter the jersey and cap. Not that hard.
Social Media Use in Franchise
Again, every other game has this. News reports about injuries, notable performances, trades, waiver claims, free agency signings, and more are all part of 2K, Madden, and NHL. MLBTS might have one of the most bland franchise experiences I've ever seen. Just a little touchup would be nice.
Rainouts and Double-Headers
I've been through this 1 million times. No reason why it shouldn't be in the game.
Allow Us To Create-A-Player With Pre-Played Stats
Some of us don't want to create rookies and want to build a real player with his IRL stats. If that's what we want, then let us. Allow us to build realistic rosters from a certain year of our choosing. Allow us to upload headshots of these players and have an AI firewall (for lack of a better word) to block any inappropriate pictures.
One Additional Commentary Crew
Bring back an old friend in Matt Vasgersian, maybe alongside Buck Martinez, and this time, the real IRL Matty V, not the one in the game who sounded like he's giving birth to a velociraptor when he got excited. The legend we know. Chris Singleton has so many random takes it's not even funny. And Boog is just boring let's be real.
I'll update this as more come to me but right now this is all I've got for modes outside of Diamond Dynasty -
Until there is parity between PlayStation Nintendo and XBox, I don't believe we will get SOTS back.
Doesn't matter what PlayStation can do, for some stupid reason MLB wants feature parity even though last year Nintendo didn't get create a stadium. Dumb double standards.I like Vasgersian IRL but he can't act the script he was given in the Show.
I want an extra commentary team to choose from, but I want the second team to be voice actors who have plenty experience doing video games. Sadly, Vasgersian, Boog, Singleton, DeRo, Plesac, Heidi, et al, ain't it.I love to sim playerxs until they get years of stats and then export them from franchise to create another world, so we already have that ability.

The thing is if I want to recreate a player, I can’t play him through a season and magically get those exact same stats. -

Yeah, its only good for creating a fictional roster or an alternate universe for real MLBer's.
