MLB The Show 23: Wish List by H.B. (Houston)
The issues need to be talked about first we encountered on MLB THE SHOW 22
(A) The stats under PLAYER STATS were correct for positional players but not for the Pitchers. Under TEAM STATS with even and odd numbers etc..but if you went under PLAYER STATS for pitchers they would only show even numbers and been this way since CUSTOM LEAGUE were added on MLB THE SHOW 20 been 3 years of this error. The HITTING STATS were correct and no issues.
(B) Every time you would go into custom league and send a challenge to the person you were playing always the first try was a server error and out of 19 patches this was never addressed and is still happening in our league.
(C) When you would sim a CPU vs CPU type game the home and away record was never accurate. SO if you simmed 3 straight games says CUBS @ REDS you might get a Home record of 2 WINS and WAY 1 LOSS when the CUBS won all 3 games.
(D) Then there was the issue PATCH 6 when you guys decided to turn the WIND OFF/FLAGS OFF.
We literally play this game 365 days none stop in my custom league. Played 21 until 22 was out no different this year will play 22 until 23 is out but for the love of god can you please, please turn the flags back on in online games? The World Series is over most gamers have everything unlocked at this point. Us league guys that don’t move onto other games by now play 162 games we been playing since May 15; 2022 were 52 games in still a ways to go and 2 weeks in u guys turned wind and flags off because of kids complaining they had issues with it on trying to complete programs etc in DD but were the ones who suffered and are still suffering the kids have already move onto other games but us loyalist and year long show players in custom leagues are stuck playing unrealistic out come games because wind, flags should be a part of our games and impact games sometimes. Please can u please patch one more time and turn it back on?
These are not in any specific order, But hopefully all get looked into and considered.

The custom leagues in 2.0 was a turn in the right direction but left a lot to be desired still. There was not much changed from 20 to 22 as far as CUSTOM LEAGUES have gone. I still had to come up with ways on my own to have it like the old online franchise was because there was still no real life schedule like there was in leagues on MLB THE SHOW 17, There was still only 1 division in custom leagues on MLB THE SHOW 21 and MLB THE SHOW 22 making it everyone against everyone, I am more about realism and want the real MLB divisions back, We also still need league leaders added back, All by myself for my custom league I had to write down the top league leaders on my own each week making it very hard to do all this manually each and every week. There was INJURY POP UPS so I would log injury myself and set a return date, but we still need a DISABLE LIST added back for MLB THE SHOW 23.
-
PLEASE BRING BACK ONLINE FRANCHISE TO CUSTOM ONLINE LEAGUES!! (If online franchise does make a return can you please make sure we have an option to use BROADCAST mode not only FAST PLAY. There is way to much we do not get to see or hear online that we would if we played offline, but I just do not play offline anymore. I only buy the game to run a realistic MLB online league and love the presentation on this game and should be an option to see it all or hit X to skip through it all for the guys who don't like it.)
-
CUSTOM LEAGUES WERE ADDED ON MLB THE SHOW 20 AND WERE THE EXACT SAME ON 21 AND 22. WE WERE STILL FORCED TO USE ROSTER UPDATES OR DD ROSTERS BUT WE NEED EXACTLY WHAT LEAGUES NAME WAS CHANGE TO CUSTOM, WE NEED CUSTOM ROSTERS. I DON'T CARE IF ITS ONLY 40 MAN ROSTERS BUT LET US USE OUR OWN ROSTERS AND LET OUR OWN SEASON PLAY OUT INSTEAD OF BEING TIED TO INSIDE EDGE AND DIAMOND DYNASTY RATING STUFF.
-
WE NEED LEAGUES TO BE PRIVATE - GIVE US THE OPTION TO TURN THIS FEATURE ON BECAUSE I HAD GUYS THAT WERE ONCE IN MY LEAGUE CONSTANTLY MESSAGING MY OWNERS TRYING TO GET THEM TO JOIN THERE LEAGUE, IF LEAGUE WAS PRIVATE THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE WHO IS CURRENTLY IN SOMEONES LEAGUE.
-
A BOTTOM LINE TICKER IN CUSTOM LEAGUES WOULD REALLY BE HELPFUL, I REALLY ENJOY SEEING THIS IN A OFFLINE FRANCHISE AS I PLAY MY GAMES AND IF YOU COULD ADD THIS FOR CUSTOM LEAGUES WOULD BE A GAME CHANGER. IMAGINE PLAYING A LEAGUE GAME AND BEING ABLE TO SEE WHATS GOING ON AROUND THE LEAGUE BY LOOKING AT THE BOTTOM LINE TICKER? SHOWING SCORES, STATS ETC...
-
PLEASE ALLOW US TO TOGGLE AN AUTO PILOT OPTION FOR OWNERS WHO CANT PLAY THERE LEAGUE GAMES SO OTHER USERS CAN AT LEAST PLAY THE CPU.
-
PLEASE ALLOW THE COMMISSIONER IN THERE CUSTOM LEAGUE TO EDIT POSITIONS, JERSEY NUMBERS, A STARTING PITCHER TO A RELIEF PITCHER ETC... WE NEED MORE EDITING OF PLAYERS IN CUSTOM LEAGUES.
-
WE NEED ENERGY TO HITTERS LIKE YOU GAVE TO PITCHERS INSIDE THE CUSTOM LEAGUES. ANOTHER GREAT IDEA I THOUGHT OF INSTEAD OF THE GREEN BAR OF ENERGY IF YOU COULD GIVE THEM PERCENTAGES WOULD BE BETTER TO LOOK AT, SO EXAMPLE IS SP JUSTIN VERLANDER HAS 86% ENERGY INSTEAD OF THE GREEN BAR.
PART II - in Custom Leagues now we have green bars for energy and obviously you can see a guy is not full green or health but once your in game bring that pitcher in he's actually lower than what the green bar indicated, So how about a PERCENTAGE NUMBER instead of the green colored bar. So example is say a RP pitchers would have the percentages numbers saying so and so is 67% or 85% instead of the green bar not really knowing just how much health they actually have.
-
WE NEED COLLISIONS ADDED TO MLB THE SHOW 23, IMAGINE THE DYNAMIC OF RUNNING INTO ANOTHER OUTFIELDER/INFIELDER THAT CAUSES A COLLISION AND MISPLAY THE BALL OR COULD COST YOU A RUN OR EVEN THE GAME.
-
The Online Custom Leagues needs the 40 man roster added, player options added, waiver wire and the rule 5 draft in June. I would like to finally see a true online franchise with the same exact features offline has. Would be nice to see what going on around the league while your in a head 2 head game. Even having commentary talking about whats going on around the league during a league game, talking about milestones or playoff push.
-
In the Online Custom Leagues would like to to see the actual real MLB schedule including real days off days. In MLB THE SHOW 14 - 17 Online franchises the MLB schedule was added but the days and dates did not match up. Would like to see actual game start times included and maybe added on the schedule screen with-in the square for that date. What about adding additional year schedules for people who like to use previous seasons or historic rosters?
-
Please add re-alignment in the CUSTOM LEAGUES and offline franchise for people who like to play with historic rosters and want the correct team alignment for that era.
-
I would like to see the Astrodome added as a classic stadium.
-
We need a complete transaction log for the CUSTOM LEAGUES. In MLB THE SHOW 14-17 the only transactions that would show in the event log was when a player you traded or you signed a free agent or released a player. To help the commissioner a full transaction log would help prevent league owners from sending guys down or calling guys up on a daily basis without the commissioner knowing or approval.
-
The commissioner for CUSTOM LEAGUES need more flexibility when it comes to fixing teams in the CUSTOM LEAGUES when you happen to get a bad owner who decides to release players into the free agency and quits league. In MLB THE SHOW 14-17 there were some bad owners in leagues that did this leaving the commissioner no way of fixing and getting team back to its original state. With salary cap issues, amount of money to spend to sign players etc made it really tough to sign the players that were released back to there original team. Maybe give the commissioner only a way to over ride transactions, signing players back at no cost?
-
In CUSTOM LEAGUES and all head to head games it does not show there backup positions at the lineup screen before going into a game.We need to be able to see the player card of players were placing into our lineup to see what there backup positions are at the beginning of a game like offline has.
-
We need to be able to edit coaches, managers and Umpire names and appearance in MLB THE SHOW 23 and allow commissioners to do this in the CUSTOM LEAGUES as well. Same as before if we can edit the manager and coaches let us pic from faces from pages that closely look like the coach we are creating.
-
We also need to be able to give tendencies or schemes of how the manager coaches his team based off real life situations.
-
We need to be able to give ICONS to players in the main menu of the roster editor like,
*TOP 100 PROSPECT
*RULE 5
*ALL STAR GAME LOGO
-
I think collisions needs to be added and a call off button. The older baseball had this around 2007. I am tired of seeing players walk thru another players body or the umpire. Can we finally get player detection like players at walls not running thru them same thing goes for players waking thru one another.
-
Another option is to add a EXTRA FREE AGENT SPACE. Maybe a solution is have your own LEGENDS area and have FREE AGENTS PAGES 1-5 for exactly that. There is just not enough room currently to have all the players we need on our rosters. I prefer the FULL SINGLE- A teams, but even the person that did roster updates in 2022 had to take players off the game during the year when doing roster updates because theirs not enough room.
-
Fix velocities for created pitchers when editing them. They should be able to be given correct velocity, control and break as a scan face pitcher or like they are for pre-existing pitchers. It's been broken for over 5 years.
-
Ability to import/export players onto any roster and in a existing franchise and into CUSTOM LEAGUES.
-
Let us edit height and weight to 7"0 tall and 300 lbs. Theirs a lot of shorter thinner players we can never give them the correct weight, please allow us to give them 155lbs etc on a 6'0 player.
-
We need REAL TIME WEATHER added. Weather is a big part of baseball. Would like to see it automatically change in the game as if its cold see the fog from players mouth when breathing, have dirt look wet from rain, and some type fog rain delays. Maybe tie in weather.com into the game and whatever city the home team is in is the actual weather for that day? If a game starts cloudy then later on as game goes along just let it start raining on its own. The weather should effect the pitchers command and the batters swings as it does in real life.
(a) To see rain drops on helmet, coaches jackets, umpires jackets would bring more realism to the game.
(b) Please add one more later start time for the WEST COAST games. All we have now is latest 7pm most parks still daylight, can you please add a 9pm start time?
-
COLLISIONS: There were many injuries last couple of years due to collisions. When asked before about having this added I think I was told baseball is not a contact sport? Injuries do happen in baseball and when players collide. In another baseball game in 2007 there was an option to call of the other fielders near. Imagine a fly ball and if you don;t call the other outfielder off they collide and the ball pops loose?
-
ASSIGNING ANY POSITION TO ANY PLAYER OPTION: I have an idea how the positions can be given for any fielder. You have all the positions in a big square pop up screen and you let us check the squares of all the positions we want to give that player. This would allow us to finally give players the correct positions they actually play. We could even actually give a Pitcher a backup position as many relievers are starting to play in the infield and outfield late in games.
-
We need full editing capabilities offline and in the CUSTOM LEAGUES such as being able to edit players names, ages, height and weight, jersey numbers, changing there position to anything we want. In the online franchise only letting the commissioner be the only person who can adjust any of these things. Please let us edit these type of things and especially HEIGHT & WEIGHT in the main menu for any player especially the REAL PLAYERS. This has always been locked in the past and we have no way of updating height and weight to reflect what are players actually are. Having to ask you guys to update the height and weights this past year in 2019 took all the way until May 10th to finally get updated. If you allow us to do this in MLB 20 I don't half to wait until you guys have time to fix it when I can easily fix this myself.
-
EXPORT AND IMPORT BETTER OPTIONS: We need the ability to export and import players into MLB THE SHOW 23 that were on previous MLB THE SHOW GAMES, by this I mean real actual MLB players not the created ones as we are already able to do this with those. This has been an issue when accidentally a real MLB player has been imported over and no way to get him back other than recreated them. Would like to see in MLB 23 all players on this game available to export and import anyone of them. Also let us edit anything we want about any player on the game. I know SCEA developers enjoy putting themselves into the game at launch so why not let us export these players and be able to edit anything about them so we can change them into any MLB players missing from the game that might look close to the developers face? This would really help creating missing minor league players as well. As a roster creator myself one of the hardest faces to do are the ASIAN/JAPAN faces and I know there have been some Asian/japan developer faces added to the game in recent years.
This would allow us to turn that developer face into a real MLB player and have a better looking roster with all scan faces. Another idea is make it to where we can use other MLB players FACES and turn them into a player were creating or missing from the game.
(a) Kinda like what madden has, but when creating a player let us choose from baseball players scan faces already in the game. Even if it was just 25 heads to choose from would be a good start. You already have faces to choose from, but there just random faces, If you swap those out and added the following,
5 Caucasian faces of MLB players face already in the game.
5 African American faces of MLB players face already in the game.
5 Hispanic faces of MLB players face already in the game.
5 Japan/Asian faces of MLB players face already in the game.
5 Dominican faces of MLB players face already in the game.
(b) I would like to see pages and pages of players to pick from kinda like NHL or MADDEN does. You could still have face edit options for people who want to create faces, but for me I much prefer picking from REAL PLAYER FACE SCANS. I spend hours and hours trying to get a players face right and if I just had to pick from a face from any of those pages would make the process be so much faster. I spend more time editing players than playing the game and would like a easier way to get the players face done and move on. It takes me 5-6 months to get rosters right before I can even enjoy this game or play. You have added QUICK COUNTS to play faster games, Now we need faster ways to create players.
-
Would like to see player profile pictures change based off of ESPN, FOX Sports or mlb.com player profile picture. This way when in real life when a player is traded there photo will change for that team, as in real life usually these websites have the players photo updates within 24 hrs. This would work for people who don't keep rosters updated but many of us who enjoy doing this it would look realistic.
-
Add in rookies names into the database each year from who was added during the roster updates the year before.
=======================================================================================================
CLASSIC STADIUMS:
Classic stadiums the Houston Astrodome, and Montreal Expos Olympic Stadium
WEATHER IN DIFFERENT CITY'S:
This needs to be looked into sometimes the weather is way off and not close to what the weather actually should be, adding real life weather conditions should fix this.
(a) Need to get rid of the jackets in the summer months. Still in all these years I played the show pitchers are still wearing jackets when on base in the dead heat of the summer. Make them have no jackets on in the summer months and in the fall let them have them on, or weather of the games or temperature at game time could determine if they will have them on.
(b) We need some type of snow for weather, in 2021 TIGERS 1B Cabrera hit a HR when it was sleeting, light snow, in 2006 I believe it was Rockies and Red Sox had a snow game. Doesn't half to be thick snow but some sleet or drizzle snow, something like madden but not as heavy.
=======================================================================================================
- Rain-outs/Rain Delays/Doubleheaders - adds a realm of realism to franchise and custom league modes and could affect stamina over the period of a few days.
- Catcher Talk to the Pitcher - Instead of a mound visit, the catcher could go and calm down the pitcher instead of the PITCHING COACH.
REMINDER NOTES:
(a) Able to Export & Import real players onto any roster.
(b) Able age, height and weight on real players.
(c) add online franchise back with real MLB schedules like the 2023 NEW FORMAT MLB schedule, real divisions, standings, league leaders, disable list etc....
(d) Able to use BROADCAST MODE in custom leagues/online franchise
(e) add standings, league leaders, real life schedule, players of the week into custom leagues/ Online franchise.
(f) Allow us to use OTHER themes inside custom leagues/ online franchise.
(g) Instead of having to use diamond dynasty leagues to get to all the players, allow us to use the 40 man live way or upload our own custom rosters inside custom leagues/ online franchise.
(h) Ability to use CUSTOM ROSTERS into CUSTOM LEAGUES.
(i) We need better edit options for players in custom leagues period, editing positions, jersey numbers etc.
(j) We half to have our own baseball world in custom league where how you perform is what the ratings of your players are NOT based off of DD Ratings or roster updates. Let us have our own performance ratings some progression and regression multiple seasons etc....
the last thread WOW!
