@pogibana said in MLB The Show Playground and some new ideas:

Well this is RTTS we are talking about. Getting stubs for your contract in RTTS. So if you want to play their cash cow go for it. I started playing before DD existed. If you are playing RTTS to get stubs for DD you are doing it backwards, you get more stubs playing DD than RTTS.

Obviously you get more stubs playing DD than RTTS. That’s why he said your contract money should be for stubs. Then you could do both

Why would we need direct trading when we already have a marketplace? I'm not familiar with Madden's system, but with direct trading you would need to have someone willing to take your card while offering the exact card you want. That is way more complicated than just selling cards you don't want, and buying cards you do want. This seems like a solution to something that's not broken.

Here's tip for draft. Skip ALL the Showcases. Just quit or simulate. You get drafted in the 26th round by a much better team. I got drafted by the Brewers, Braves, and Rangers by doing this.

@Sticky_Chris said in Early MLB The Show 21 Franchise Wishlist:

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! 😂

I like 1-4, wish 5 was a thing. Maybe no bank? I HATE that I can't make any trades. lol
I LOVE what NBA2k did with this, where you can relocate, build a new stadium, and design it. I hope they do that.

I agree, the point system was better. I have been playing RTTS since 2009

MLB The Show 2018.

@Some_Schmuck_22 said in Ejections:

I feel like this used to be an option either in PS2 versions of The Show, ESPN Baseball for PS2, or EA's College Baseball for PS2. I liked it. Sometimes you would win. Sometimes you would press on and win, sometimes the ump would eject the manager...which had a RNG effect on team morale/performance. Either way, it allowed for some level of immersion albeit to the detriment of user input.

I know it was a feature on 2K baseball

@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!

@Sticky_Chris said in Can we make our player a Utility Man?:

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.

Yes, I like this.

@Sticky_Chris said in Trade Requests:

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.

Agreed. My reason for wanting this feature is so I don't feel stuck to a team for 4, 6, 8, or 10 years. Also some of the teams you play for don't even call you up when other players are slumping and you're playing very well. Let me go to another team where I'm appreciated. Let me talk to my agent and see my options (like getting traded, getting released). I want to talk to my agent whenever I'm not feeling good about a situation with a ball club!

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.
