Here are my thoughts.
-
Personally I don’t like the personality or the relationships. I just think they’re pointless, and the fact that your attributes increase because you have a friend on the team makes no sense to me. The conversations you have with teammates or opponents just get kind of annoying after the first 5 times doing them
-
They do need to make the entire mode deeper. I don’t want some kind of story like nba does, because those are usually really bad. My suggestion would also be a crib. I’d like a trophy case that you put all your awards in, many the game can take “photos” of you completing milestones, and then you have a photo wall in your house. As you make more money, you can buy more houses that all have different things you can buy.
-
Make money matter is my biggest complaint though. There are so many ways to do it, it’s kind of astonishing they haven’t implemented something yet
-
Fix fielding. There’s way to many occurrences of me “having to field” when I’m not involved in the play. Getting deduction on my reaction ability because I don’t want to run to the wall for a no doubt home run annoys me
-
Fix the base runner glitch. Randomly runners will just disappear from basepaths. And no it’s not them getting picked off when I’m swimming or anything like that. I just had a game where I was batting with a runner on first and no outs, got a single, and all of a sudden I was the only base runner with no outs. The next guy hit a home run. This issue has been present on this game for 4 or 5 years and has never been addressed
-
Have the announcers/stat overlays be more engaged with your career. Mention big games more frequently, mention past results against a pitcher etc
-
Finally, people may disagree, but I think your player improves way too quickly. By the start of my third year (2nd big league season) I was a 90 overall. It just seems way to quick for that
There’s plenty of minor things that can be improved too
