Does anybody else feel like this this game did pretty much nothing to improve from the previous year. I put 684 hours into 2020 and currently sitting at 247 on 2021. And I'd say they didn't do as much as they said they would do. Franchise mode 0 changes, RTTS got even worse, MTO has potential but is still poorly designed. The statium creator is kind of awful, no advertisements on the walls or even distance markings. The homemade statiums always look trash. But nothing makes me more displeased then the play profile pictures or lack there of upon the trade of a player. To see half of your players with a real shot profile pic and half as close ups of their 3d animations is not clean at all. Sometimes the game accidentally keeps the profile pic for a game or two and it looks great. I mean is it really that hard for them to update the player profile pictures. I swear this feels like the same game.

@dart_wuffy_MLBTS well then maybe the game should have been half off then. Making excuses for a half assed job is what your doing.

Fix the awful animated player profile pics that show up on the jumbotron and menu screens and just use the players actual photograph, regardless of the hat being different. It looks much cleaner then half animations and half real pictures. Send somebody to the Minors, they'll come back with an animated picture, it used to be you trade for somebody previously on the team in their career, the game would find the players profile from the database and display their old photo. They just removed all of this.

RTTS got significantly worse, they clearly abandoned this game mode. Their is so much cool stuff they can do too it's a shame. Madden 06 on the ps2 was a great example I wish sports games would follow. It starts out with randomized parents with back stories. It also included the ability to hire an agent, the more skilled agents will only represent established players. You could take a trip to the barber shop, the tattoo palor, and the practice field. Imagen they actually tried to implement these features in a sports game in 2021. Give me a reason to earn a contract in RTTS. Have my characters hair grow and need to be cut. Show physical gains after workout. Give my player the opportunity to act in a movie to earn popularity, also from madden 06 ps2. I want to have actual conversations with players on my team, another feature that was removed rather than developed. This RTTS is clearly unfinished, you can tell when training for drag bunting and other fielding traits.

I wonder how difficult it was to implement two way players. I mean in the show 20 you could make any player a two way player essentially. Just put Ohtani in the outfield from the starting pitching position. Thanks a lot for that fix SDS, smh.

MTO made some improvements but they don't update the rosters making the experience pretty dull at this point in the season. I find it really idiotic that I can't choose which prospects I want to develop. It isn't even based on team need its just random with players who are clearly not mlb ready. If they want to make players injured then make them injured and don't just put them in triple A, what kind of lazy garbage is that.

I really love this game and I'm tries of getting a heated up pile. I just want to see this game reach its full potential.

You should be able to choose an agent based on popularity. One that'll give you different boosts.

You should be able to play the career of any player in the game. I particularly would like to develop prospects with the goal being to make it to the Hall of Fame. But why not let you take control of any player in the game.

I can sit here and think of improvements all day. This game mode is so dull, developers only care about DD clearly.
