I just started playing diamond dynasty and I'm not going to lie, I've been missing out.

While MLB The Show is the ONLY baseball game out on the market for Playstation, I would love to see the following added to the next title (MLB The Show):

• Expansion: 2K Sports does this with NBA 2K, but I would love to see this on MLB The Show. The creativity and fun that I have on 2K is on point and if this is brought to MLB The Show, the bar would be set even higher for other baseball games (if and when created) in the future. I'd be curious to see a league of 40+ teams.

• Create-A-Stadium: If we can relocate teams, and replace them in The Show with custom made uniforms, we should be able to create a state of the art stadium or create a simple design stadium. Let the gamer have fun and make a completely customizable stadium. It would be even cooler to import a custom stadium from the community. Please do not approach it like how one football game has it. You know what football game I'm talking about.

• Import Custom Logos/Images: Similar to DD. I think this would really bring the experience to franchise on a whole new level. If anything let the users create the logo if importing is too much of a legal issue.

I played MVP Baseball 2005 recently and I want owner mode for The Show.

Set promotions
Set ticket pricing
Set concession pricing
Fan happiness
etc...

As for create-a-stadium, I want that in there too. Build up your stadium as you win or just have a built stadium in Franchise mode without having the need to grind for it.

What else would you add?

Put that Ji-Man Choi bat flip in The Show.

Bro I hate when I have a hitting streak over 15 games and coach calls me in to pinch-hit and get subbed out afterward.

That can't be realistic and pretty much been an issue for a long time.

I can't be the only one who gets super confident on a rookie Showdown mission and then feel embarrassed for failing lol

@SaveFarris said in Santa Maria audio unlockable?:

Silver Sound.

Check the earlier innings, beginner showdowns, Brett program, etc.

Nowhere to be found. For a silver unlockable, it's pretty rare to find lol.

I love this and would love to see this in MLB The Show 21.

Now I have observed a lot of posts in these forums for quite a while and never said anything lol. But, one of the things I would love to see more of is a lot more excitement from the commentary team.

I do know the improvements have been made title after title, but after watching a few videos of Matt Vasgersian broadcasting a game ESPECIALLY in the playoffs, I would love to see that kind of enthusiasm on The Show. Sometimes in the season and the playoffs, it can still be underwhelming when playing MLB The Show.

Also, would love to see other broadcasting teams added to the game. For example, Fifa has multiple commentary teams. Make one for local games and one for key games.

Notes:

• Improve broadcasting with more enthusiasm and excitement during season and playoffs.
• Add an additional commentary team for local games.
• Have a commentary team for key games.

The fans are underwhelming but that's just one thing from me lol

@PoppinDom said in Recognition of records are underwhelming:

If I broke the hitting streak record, it should be more excitement not only when I break it, but extending the record. The commentary is super dry with that and all other record recognitions.

In what mode? RTTS?

Franchise, and RTTS.

Oh. I have never broken any records.
In PowerPros 2008, they were pretty good about that, as I was a hall of famer, breaking EVERY record there was, including the biggest contract ever. Yes, gold gloves also.

PowerPros 2008 was awesome. I remember how well they did that. Good times!

This is more of a wishlist, but The Show has come a long way to being one of the best baseball games out there. I'm aware they are only one, but still. I just wish they set the bar a little higher for future competition.

I play a lot of sports game such as, NHL, NBA 2K, and Fifa, PES, & of course The Show. One thing that stood out for me in NHL & NBA 2K is the ability to create your own arena. Let's go farther, you can expand your league to 36 teams. Furthermore, with an expansion league, you can change the rules, which MLB The Show doesn't really have. Sure you can do a custom league, and custom teams, but you got to relocate an established team to do that.

But, let's get to it. Here are some ideas to implement in the next title on next-gen:

Create-A-Stadium: Let us create a really unique stadium. The details matter and that's what NHL 20 did with their stadium and uniform creation. Really in-depth and a ton of fun.

Stadium design:

• What does the architect look like? Have a feature where you want it similar to another stadium or have a brand spanking new one.

• Do you play on grass or turf? What's the style of the grass? (Diamonds, stripes, is there a team logo on the field?)

• What color are the stairs? It's fun to change the colors that match your team.

• What are the seat patterns like? Is it whatever or is there a certain theme with the stadium?

• The roof (open/close/retractable) should also be customized where it's either a dome, open field, or it has a retractable roof. Kind of like how MVP Baseball 2005 had it with Owner Mode, have a customizable luxury box or don't.

• Stadium capacity is key because you want loudness with intensity to be a factor when you're playing a rival for the #1 seed or you could be in the postseason in game 7 in the bottom of the 9th inning trailing by 1 run with bases loaded and 2 outs.

• Details of the stadium and team should have market size, describing local fan base, national fan base, popularity, and prestige level of the team. Are fans casual like San Diego, or are they die hard like Boston?

• How many concessions are there. What kind of food is it? is luxury or not? (ex. MVP Baseball 2005), stadium seating, and parking lot capacity/style.

• Wall color in the stadium should also be decided whether it's team color or not. Colors of the wall should be colored by sections. Example 1 half is blue, and the other half is red.

• Scoreboard design is probably the most fun to customize because you got the scoreboard, the giant tv screen, stats, contest questions for fans, replays, etc.

*Stadium presentation: What kind of intro do you want before the game. When you hit a home run or strike someone out in a clutch moment, lights and sound play a big factor. I'd like to see lights flicker in those crucial moments. Audio is no issue because of the sound of the show feature.

Expansion mode is probably the most fun a lot of The Show fans will have. I don't speak for every one of them, but that's why I said most lol. Expansion is custom galore. The ability to have your own rules in the game is beyond great.

• The ability to change how many games there are in a season.

• I might be extreme with this one, but I can only imagine the playoffs when you have the ability to double the number of teams in the MLB. Change how many teams can be in the league. It would be cool to double the number and have over 60 teams, but that's just me lol.

• Each expansion team deserves a minor league team. Create one or it can be imported using the community's creative.

• A salary cap option should be added.

• Change the rules before the season. Change it to how it use to be back in the 90s or earlier.

On a side note, we need to see bench-clearing when there's a conflict. You don't necessarily have to show an exact fight, but look at how MVP Baseball 2005 did theres. They show a guy charging the mound, and the benches clear. No real fight or anything, but if you want to show that along with players getting held back, I'm down for that in the game. Also, I would love to see a manager argue a call and get ejected. Another thing is fan intensity. The sound of the fans and how intense they are plays a huge factor today and I'd like to see that enhanced. Every pitch matters and crowd intensity is key. The reaction is another thing that plays a factor.

Let me know what else I am missing. I love this game and I'd like to see the ideas I wrote implemented in the next title.
