I am currently having this issue

I agree with your suggestions. My comments are based more on improving aspects of the experience/ feeling of the game that I think should be nailed in next-gen, as opposed to specific gameplay issues (which are also indeed numerous).

Fair enough on the dugouts. Would be good to have these double-checked for accuracy.

I know some people do not want extra replays and/or cutscenes. Agree that you should be able to turn them all off if that is your preference.

Some thoughts/observations/suggestions:

1. Latest live roster update has once again “zeroed-out” player stats. This of course defeats the purpose of the live roster exhibition mode and exacerbates repetitive broadcast commentary;

2. Still no ability to use Ohtani in live roster exhibition.

3. Crowd noises are underwhelming in general and unresponsive to in-game situations;

4. Home team dugouts are on the 1st base side instead of the 3rd base side;

5. Instant replays often fail to show the development of the play being shown. Example - a HR replay shows three closeup shots of the batter, but does not show the hit ball. I personally would enjoy more frequent in-game replays. Perhaps the ability to have a frequency setting would be useful for all, as some players will not want additional replays;

6. Bring back an updated version of sounds of the show.

7. Stitching together studio recording and live game broadcast commentary can be better utilized by capturing additional live game broadcast commentary throughout the year and including in game updates. Generally speaking, there needs to be some tweaking to the Color commentary as there are moments where there is broadcaster where as a longtime baseball fan I would expect to hear something from the broadcast team.

8. Include in-game ticker in live roster exhibition mode to show updates from real MLB games in progress.

9. Many pre-pitch camera angles seem unnatural. More time spent on replicating broadcast camera angles would make this feature more effective. Otherwise why have it?

10. Is there appetite in the community for a seventh inning stretch “show” similar to the halftime show in NBA2K? Improved postgame highlight package?

Will anyone from SDS acknowledge/ respond to this message?

Still no ability to play with Ohtani in Live Roster exhibition. What is going on? Why is this not being addressed?

I regret paying full price for this game as this issue significantly reduces its value in my opinion.

Ohtani does not appear in the Angels batting lineup, nor can I put him in the lineup. Seems rather ridiculous given he is the cover athlete.

1. Shohei Ohtani not available in Angels hitting lineup.

2. Inaccurate game winning streaks reported at the beginning of games.
