Sinkers same side up and in do need a small patch, for some reason a guy with a 93sinker feels 10x harder then when that same guy throws 99 on my hands.

FYI, we are using cards with lower power rn guys. I agree that EVs are off rn but also if I got 59 pwr Bryson Stott lacing a ball at 96 and I was on it but not perfect, I get that.

Often when I sim or don’t control everything, guys don’t get the playing time I’d hope for. Would be nice to schedule guys to play against lefties but not rights and so forth. Would also be nice to have a setting where I can hire a manager to play platoon advantages. I often get bench guys that play 25 to 30 games when their history says 50 to 60. Yes i know I can set lineups but they change randomly after I fix them.

Would be nice if you rebrand the whole team that I can use the numbers.

I agree but I like stadium presets, and copy’s of MLB dimensions and elevations. Would be dope if there was a copy of the Phillies stadium that I can edit (and if it’s a copy the bullpens are copied too) to make mine and raise 10 to 25ft because I feel it would be pretty comp in DD online.

I honestly just still don’t get why we can’t get presets. Like why can’t I take the Red Sox outline if I think it’s cool or even the Phillies stadium outline, and make my own park off that with their dimensions. And also where their bullpens are at so basically it’s (I’m assuming, I don’t code games) not a crazy ask but us fans can still be creative. Plus let’s say a MLB ballpark plays well in DD, I can literally copy the elevation and dimensions and just make it my own.

Why can’t we make basic travel ball and college Jeresy patterns. Like why can’t we add logos to the sleeves?! Why can’t I make a basic travel ball camo jersey for fun? Why can’t I add a logo to pants? Why are they still the same 10 fonts from mlb 14. It’s been over 10 years. Update it every 5 years or something.

Can we please make coach’s in MLB 25. Just a fun thing that’d be nice. It’d be funny to have the Sock-puppet as your manager. This would also be cool to add to DD. People made funny Created Players and goofy looking managers would add more personality to the game. Little thing but still.

Why is it that 2seamers don’t feel like they move at all and a pitch we all hope a pitcher doesn’t have. I bumped the movement up to 99 in franchise and it said 7inches of movement, that needs to be better where guys can hit 18 inches of movement in real life. Maybe add a quick that helps pitch break? And let us add quirks in franchise plz. Pitchers can fastballs dance nowadays. I just hope next years game reflects that so the meta of the game would change (I hope). Outlier isn’t crazy to hit but it’s annoying that it’s a crutch. I just feel more break could help change the meta in DD.

Don’t buff it, make it more consistent.

What about a small thing like picking the bases too. It’d be fun to make an old ballpark and be able to use the old school pillows over bases.

Can we get him to be the announcer in 25?! I’d be a mix of AI and real lines but I really need “Juusstt a bit outside, tried the corner and missed” on passed balls to the backstop in DD or franchise.

Is it possible for theme teams to get a new program for the players on the move? I understand that a lot of the FA hitters already have good cards and that’s fine but some fun new bullpen and starter cards would be nice.
So a program that just is a cool edit of the player signed to their new team and counts towards the theme team for that team would make all time teams really fun this time of year. Like the Jazz and Randy cards we got this year at the trade deadline. And again teams that don’t have good bullpens and starters on theme teams would really benefit from a program like this.

I’d like more bullpen cards for theme teams. Some teams are stacked because they have a lot of 97s and 99s that get boosted and others are lucky to have 95s.

Can they add more captains too. We only got S3 cornerstone captains, and no S3 captains. What about S4 cornerstone captains.
Like I see the same 3 captains with Jackie, Corbin, and Cruz.

Question and also a hope.
If the Rays are supposed to be playing at the Yankees spring training complex (word on the street atleast). Can this be the door to start adding all Spring Training complex’s/stadium's? Some use the same stadiums so I don’t feel like it’d be a crazy add but a great add detail wise in the long run.

Can we please pick where we want our 26th man next year?
By letting use pick where our 26th man goes, more rosters and lineups will look different next year with the old format of sets and seasons being gone.
For example, the 26th man is a bullpen piece rn which is why no one really cares. But if there’s a team boost that has better hitters to fill it then it would reasonably to let use pick an extra bench bat. Or in the upper ranks where it’s hard to throw anything and not get wacked around, and you use your pen a lot, a 6th starter (like mlb teams use) to fill the role would be useful. That way you can try a new starter and if he gets shelled you just use that 6th starter instead of having another bullpen game with no stamina.
Also if you think about it, if you’re just picking a 26 man roster Ohtani is your DH and starter. You’d then have room to use both the same bullpen guys and also use the 6th starter and not break the game. This way if SDS does OOP players again, it would make roster construction very fun.

Well said sir.

Can there be more animation blending next year for pitchers? SDS, youll showed you can add different arm angles this year. But can there be an option for pitcher windups/stretch’s and arm slots. I think this is useful for guys who make adjustments throughout the year. The guy I have in mind for this change is Sean Manaea. He literally took Chris Sales arm slot. Just would be cool to see As Manaea have his normal arm slot and the Mets one to have the Sale arm slot.
SDS already does it with hitting with stances, leg kicks and swings.

They should have kept the old commentary team just so there were 2 teams in the game for a little spice. Can still make the main guys the main guys but again it would change the game up.
Stadium creator needs more presets so people can easily make stadiums. I want to change the foul territory’s and move bullpens and also I’d like the ability to have more wall props for the outfield. Like for the props; if you have sponsorships in the game, let me use them on the outfield walls and also as props to place around to fill in my designs. Why can’t we just copy an MLB stadiums fences if I like the way it plays and it then presets your field elevation also. Why can’t we put smaller scoreboards in the fences (you can but can be annoying to do at times). Stadium creator is dope but it’s been the same for 2 or 3 years now, it would be nice if they didn’t just only add new props each year but added more to the mode that expands it. Like city backdrops is another way to expand it, added realistic ones from MLB teams that we can use.
