I have been thinking about this for a while. Why hasn’t MLB made RTTS online yet. For example, look at NBA 2k MyCareer. In that, you have a park where you are able to play online with friends and randoms, and verse people in blacktop basketball. They should do something like that in MLB by adding Backyard Baseball. It would be you and 3 or 4 other people go into a mini game and play against another team. This would be amazing if MLB added this. Madden 21 just released its new “Yard” feature, and 2k has Park. So when will MLB add one?

Another thing I would like to see is where your contract you receive is worth something. What is the point of getting a 20 million dollar contract, when you can’t even use it. I really think that they should make your contract become Stubs, such as 2k has VC as its MyCareer currency as well as MyTeam. So say you can sign a contract where every game you play you get like 50 stubs. And if you are really good. You might get 100. Or weekly contracts or something. The stubs would allow you to buy equipment and clothes for your online RTTS if they ever add one.

These are just some things I would like to see in MLB The Show 21.

Comment your thoughts...

I know this may come as some sort of a stretch. But I wish we could have a trading feature with our cards. For example, Madden’s trading system where you can trade with people all over the game. This would just add a little something to the game.

OMG I have played MLB The Show for years now and I usually start a couple RTTS’ and EVERY single time I get drafted by the marlins! I played a series for my YouTube hoping to get a cool new team. But no. Miami drafted me again. And then today I wanted to make a new one. But the marlins drafted me AGAIN as the #3 pick even though I went 1 for 10 in the show case games. Like I’m tired of playing for their minor league teams is so annoying.

This may sound odd but 95 Ricky Henderson is AMAZING in center. He has 99 speed and steal, and pop against lefties, and has amazing defense with a plus arm. Consider getting him

Yo guys thank you for telling me. It would have been cool tho to see what it would look like

So this is a very early wishlist but here are some things I would really like to be added to franchise mode in The Show 21.

#1. Allow season length changes - This is for people like me who want to play the whole season without simming games and you not being able to play some games. 162 games is a lot of time to do so I say let people choose from like 60 games, 100 games, 125 games, and 162 games. This lets the person choose how long they would enjoy playing each season.

#2. Expand Franchise - Now this is a really cool feature I came up with. This is to make the fans you have mean something. You have a job to promote your team and make billboards, ads, commercials, etc. This can bring more fans to your games and that can get your team more money. I’m always finding myself in debt when I’m playing with the Phillies because of contracts like Bryce Harper, Jake Arrieta, and Zack Wheeler taking up so much space. So doing this promoting method it would help me make more money and not worry about anything when I need to pick up a free agent or make a trade.

#3. Challenges - Like come on San Diego Studios are you seriously only able to add challenges at first and you can’t even challenge a play by your choice. Like there have been so many plays at home or at 2nd base that should have gone my way but I can’t challenge it. This is something that really needs to be added for players.

#4. Ejections - Lets add a little more spice to the game and allow you to argue with the ump. This is a good method if they give you a sh*t call and you wanna tell them, the game will recognize the bad call and you would be able to either go on with the game, or argue/talk with the ump. If this happens repeatedly, the ump may toss you if he feels so. This is so more players might get tossed and it would just add a realistic feeling to the game. This should be added to all modes as well.

#5. Fights - Now this one can be added to all modes as well. Fighting is something we may never get but I believe that the show can do it. This would especially be great for online modes. If a batter throws at you or hits you multiple times. You can get an option to yell or argue with the player. And eventually, you would get an option to charge the mound. This would be AMAZING to add to online because some people just can either get on your nerves or they are just sore losers and they keep throwing at you.

Now these are 5 things that I REALLY think should be added to franchise mode in MLB The Show 21. Let me know what you guys think and if you love it, let’s get San Diego Studios to take a look!

Everyone wants to see a different RTTS. We would like to see the option to speak to your agent whenever you want and ask for trades, change positions, and much more. I am a utility player in real life and I want to be one in the show so there should be an option to do that. We could also use a new base story. It’s the same since 2017. You do the scout day, showcase games, drafted, double a ball and your journey there. It feels kind of bland after a while.

For the newer updates MLB The Show 20 brings I would like to see new flashback cards, suck as a Chase Utley 2009 WS card for his 5 homeruns, Luis Gonzalez and his amazing 2001 year, David Freese for his 2011 postseason, and a lot more to give the game some amazing legends of this game to play as.

@BigC-Rob said in Can we make our player a Utility Man?:

I am definitely all for this and would love this move if I wanted to make my player into a Kike Hernandez style player.

That is what I wanna do. It would be sooo cool!

@Red_Ted_is_back said in Trade Requests:

Based on this forum over the last year this is probably the #1 RTTS request so hopefully it will be included again this year. Along with many other things that were removed.

Yeah hopefully

@andre022084 said in Player Card Appearances:

I hope the player models stay realistic if the the players are traded on the game. They go to a generic look when they switch teams.

I completely agree. Like madden the players faces still appear as the photo even if they are traded in game!

I would like to touch base on ejections. So basically you can only get ejected as a pitcher, if throwing behind them or hitting them too much. There should be an option when you are hitting if you can argue with the ump about a pitch call. Then you would have the option to stop arguing or continue arguing. If you keep arguing the ump would eject you. This would help The Show feel more realistic!

What I wanna see happen is being able to choose when to challenge instead of the game choosing. It could help players a lot!!!

What triggers me is when you hit the ball to the right side of first base. The first baseman fields it and the pitcher would run to cover. How come a pitcher with 6 speed out runs a runner with 99 speed??? They need to make that a fix.

I think that MLB The Show should add a feature where we can sound it out for them. For example with the name Quellekar, (just making this up) there should be an option to type in the sound it would make so this person would type in “kwell-eh-car” so The Show knows how to pronounce it correctly.

You make a really good point. I was thinking his contact is a little low. I personally think JT is higher than 72 with his contact. As a Phillies fan I have watched most of the games this year and he has made contact (especially good contact) most of the time. I just thought he might need an overall boost or 2.

For every player’s player card, there should be a certain picture of that player. They should have there best moment of the 2019 season on their card. For instance, Bryce Harper’s walk off grand slam against the Cubs. Have his picture of that moment on the card. I think MLB The Show players would enjoy seeing these little details.

For RTTS, whenever you are choosing your secondary positions, you can only choose a certain hand full of secondaries. Players should have the option to pick each secondary position they choose because some people would like to play anywhere on the diamond.

For RTTS I think that there should be an option to request trades when you please. There were options in The Show 16. Maybe add that option in 20.

I hope that some players who had amazing years may have a better overall rating. For example JT Realmuto. He is the best Catcher in the game and is only a 85 overall. He is much better than that I believe. I hope he is at least an 87-89 overall. I also think Bryce Harper deserves to have around that same overall. He had a pretty good season and he has amazing clutch.
