I think a great idea to save time in diamond dynasty when opening packs, would be to be able to open the pack immediately after you select it instead of having to select the pack, go back to your inventory and then select the pack again just open it.

I've been a fan of the franchise for over a decade. In my opinion, over the last 3 to 4 years the Show has become very stale when it comes to the sights and sounds of the game.

My biggest ask is upgrades to crowd reactions during gameplay. A great example is when a double play is made The crowd reacts the same way to a Walk off home run in the bottom of the 9th to win the game. There's no variety of reaction based on the scale of what's happening on the field. This is why I feel it's important to go to live games and record the crowds. It's been done in games like EA college football 25 and 26, and would be a major welcome change to The Show.

Another huge change would be to bring in a new broadcast team. I know a lot of people end up turning off the broadcast team because it gets stale it's the same commentary every year, with a few new facts and phrases mixed in. Given that this year's game is the 20th anniversary, I feel like it's time for an upgrade. My personal suggestion is to bring in Joe Davis. As a Dodger fan, I'm spoiled when I get to listen to his commentary. But, as a baseball fan, when he gets the chance to call a postseason game, it's a whole different atmosphere than anyone else that I listen to. In my opinion, he has the chance to be the Vin Scully of my generation. I think Joe would do a fantastic job and bring some life and excitement back to The Show's broadcast.

The next thing that I would suggest is updated on the field sounds, such as enhanced bat sounds. The reason for this is because we've been told that the ball physics are going to change in this year's game. I feel like that warrants a change to the way the ball sounds when it comes off the bat. It's been talked about in the broadcast of the game in previous years, that when certain players hit the ball it just sounds different. It would be nice to have that match certain players builds. If a contact player hits the ball it's not going to sound as devastating as a power hitter like Aaron Judge or Bryce Harper. Along with updated bat sounds, I feel that it's time to also upgrade the pop sounds from the glove. My personal example of this is the catcher mitt. To me, it just doesn't sound authentic. There's not that snap that you would hear at a real ball game.

Overall, I'm excited to see the new features in this year's game, but as someone who really dives deep and truly enjoys listening to the sounds of the game, these are just a few things that I've noticed that would bring that much more realism and authenticity the game that I love and a title that I purchase every single year.
