Well it appears the Mach Pro helmets are the new helmet of MLB. I can't stand them, maybe I'm the only one. I hate them even more because they look to small on players heads in the game. I assume its probably too late to have them slightly enlarged before release???

Remember Mlb "Live" from '14? It was totally different from "daily rosters".
You could play along with the season, jump in and play that days game, with correct season standings and stats- a lot like how Daily rosters works now- except you could use customized rosters. So you could use edited CAP faces, edited stances/pitcher motions and equipment. It was awesome. For some reason they removed that ability and you now have to play with th SDS rosters. Id love for them to bring back "Live" and all the capabilities it offered.

They've removed a few other things over the last few years too that I wish we could have back. Like the ability to change all players sleeve length, the ability for pitchers to wear compression sleeves like a lot of pitchers use. Id love for these to be brought back into the game. Id also love to fully customize ALL players. Height, weight, body type, head size, spine length, arm , leg and waist sizes. Every year there are players with tiny heads, or poor looking player models. Why not allow us to fix that for them? This should be a no brainer. Please SDS, hook it up!

You can easily customize players there my guy.

Yeah I don't think we're talking about the same thing. Im talking about scanned, SDS created players.

If I want to sign a guy to a 2 year deal with an option for a 3rd year, do I sign him to 3 years and select option? The reason I ask is because I have tried to sign a one year deal with an option, but if you only sign to one year, you can't select an option.

Please, fix acuña's player model, he's too thin. There are a lot of players with tiny heads, for instance Alex wood and Jeff McNeil. Id love the use the new chin guards on any helmet instead of just the the mach pro. the Nike cleats, the huarache and the lunar vapor just don't look good. I really miss the ones from '18. The huarache hurricane, the trout 4's, the nike Clippers, the nike Lunar Vapor looked a lot better in '18 and the Adidas adizero or whatever were great. I feel like batted ball sound effect should be dynamic, and re-recorded. Possibly even from an actual game. These are my own views.

Fix acuna, please keep the trout nike's in game, get rid of the ones with the giant swoosh, or at least scan them with the others, they look bad.

Ah yes, these are definitely the most important issues

Oh I didn't realize I was representing the entire community. thought I was just speaking for myself and a handful of other people who have complained. Sorry, thank you for pointing this out.

@PAinPA said in Nike Catchers Equipment:

didn't Ramone say in the breakdown of the trailer that only some of the Nike gear was in the Beta, but all of it would be in the full game

I played the beta. There were no swooshes on ANY uniforms and the Nike cleats were all the same as last year.

Please for the love of Baseball can we get the commentary changed. I love the team, but it doesn't work for the game and the way its implemented, it never will. Go back and listen to the commentary the last couple of years of 2K. Go to youtube and watch videos people have made of the game spliced with real world commentary. It completely changes the game. I mostly play now on mute. theres way too much downtime, often times big moments have small reaction and aren't mentioned again. story lines, stats are overlooked. They don't mention injuries and on and on. I wish they could just buy all of the commentary recorded by mlb2k and then hire that team to continue from here on out. This game is near perfect in so many ways, but this HAS to be fixed.

Don't count on it. And don't count on new nike cleats this year. The nike cleats were so bad this year.

Please fix Acuñas player model. No new equipment this year?

whatever happened to cleats in '19, please fix. they look clunky and big, particularly 2 of the nike brands. and fix acuna's player model. Im just gonna keep saying it... Create manager and edit appearance like CAPS. Make caps look as good as scanned faces. Fix machados player model. with all of the actual players hair and facial hair from scanned players, couldn't we just have a database to all of those designs for use in CAP?

Please remove the pitcher jump, twirl strikeout animation from literally every situation. please remove the batting strikeout animation where a player swings so hard they swing themselves around and jump back like three steps across the plate. And please remove the cut away shots the crowd, the one where they are dancing, or holding up signs or at least make that trigger less often. please don't remove the no doubt home run cam. I love it.

Numerous camera angles and presentation in the way that Pro Yakyuu does it. They have a great variety of walk up angles, replays for stolen bases cut to a different angle. TOTALLY DIFFERENT playoff presentation package and commentary and crowd noise, camera angles, EVERYTHING. It should feel COMPLETELY different than every other game. should feel bigger, louder and more intense. Fix Acuña's player model, it looks terrible. Fix the tiny heads. His Nolan arenados hair, in the back specifically, great scan, but hair ruins it. Shave Arriettas head..... Let us use Machpro face guard on "Protective" helmets. New equipment, new arm guards, better looking cleats (NIKE). Please. And also Machpro helmets are a little too small

Customize ALL players bodies in all the ways we can with caps! Allow Pitchers to wear compression sleeves or undershirts... Need to overhaul CAP, hairstyles, facial hair options.... REALLY?! Need new nike cleats this year, they pretty much all looked bad last year. And fully open the color options on cleats. Again with nike last year it was bad. Please bring back last years nick Ahmed stance- leave it in as a generic or whatever- It was so good and great to use for many other players.

Allow us to import SDS players from one year to the next for when there are missing players.

But his player model looks really bad and ruins the scan.

Can we communicate to SDS that we would like the ability to edit ALL players equipment/uniform the way we can with CAPS? We used to be able to do some of this I want to be able to have certain pitchers wear compression sleeves ( as many do in real life). Edit the jersey sleeve length slider (could do this just a couple of years ago). Im glad they gave us back the ability to edit cap style and brim style.

Aside from that, I also with they would allow us to adjust Physical appearance/Body for all players. Height, weight, body type, neck, shoulders/collarbone slider, arms, spine length, hips/glutes, thighs. Head size

you can in Madden and other sports games. So its not a player likeness issue. Every year there are countless players that have a great scan, but terrible body, or tiny head. Open this up for us to make these fixes for them.. I don't think this would be difficult for them to do. Hell, in 2k and in madden you can change a players face and name. Anyway, playing the Beta this year, So many great face scan just ruined by poor player models etc. Customization has made this game so great. I wish they would do this

@samguenther1987 said in Yu Darvish:

They do have pitchers that throw faster then 100 mph. I threw 101-102 with Chapman and Wagner a few times this year.

hmm. Ive never hit higher than 101 with any pitcher.

nah, you could press, two buttons at the same time to select a pitch, or even and button and a trigger. I also wish they would allow pitches higher than 100 mph.

@bigdogkyle1 said in The MLB The Show 20 Gameplay Reveal Thread:

I need answers! Did Acuna get a face scan for this years version of last years game?

Yes.

tiny heads. giant heads. disproportionate body types. Player models not being updated, Almost every pitching motion, most batting stances, Commentary. Playoff presentation. Equipment options. Mostly stuff having to do with the art and look of the game. The inability to fully customize all players.
No face scan ability. Inablility to import/export any non CAP player. Franchise mode. The pitcher jumping and spinning every time they strike someone out. Limitations of Create a player.... Player face scans, motions or stances that get worse the following year
