+ADD a HISTORY section: As you complete each season in your
franchise, you create pages of history, stats, boxscores, Playoff
scores, League leaders, Final Standings, etc that can be easily
referenced and looked up by season in a neatly organized section of the
game called HISTORY or ALMANAC. This way you can always look back and
reference information from previous seasons. This is critical in
baseball and gives true depth to a FRANCHISE MODE
+ADD an IMPORT FRANCHISE feature: We
all have probablly cursed this under our breath many times not only in
MLB the Show but in ever single Sports video game, "Damn it, now I
gotta start my Franchise all over again...!" Why should upgrading to a
newer version of a Sports game force you to start the work that you've
done before all over again??....It shouldn't! Would you accept having
to get a new cell phone
number just because you bought a new phone? In fact, it would be in a
companies best interest to add this feature. Im sure there are a
certain percentage of sales LOST every year because people are content
with their existing franchise progress and dont want to start all over.
+ADD USER CREATED TEAMS to Franchise Mode: This would
be just cool. Alot of people would like the ability to merge their
fictitious team creations with real life players and teams and create
WHAT IF Scenario Franchises!
+ADD Physics Based COLLISION MODELS: The close tag is one of the most exciting aspects of baseball. In MLB, its rather dull and lacks variety. This new feature would allow for more realistic slides, collisions, take out slides and dynamic plays at the bag and at the plate. This would also allow for your occasional fielder collisions due to miscommunications +ADD a STADIUM CREATOR: Anyone
old enough to remember the days of Earl Weaver Baseball?....How freakin
cool was it to be able to build your own ballpark? Think about it.
Madden has offered this feature for a few years now but in football its really just an aesthetic
reward because it adds no real value to the actual gameplay. But in
baseball, Ball park dimensions can literally change the dynamics of an
entire team!...(see the NY Mets of 2009 as a horrific example)
+ADD Dynamic and Individual AI MANAGERS: Why
with a game THIS deep and advanced do we have to settle for one AI
style manager making decisions for every single team in your Franchise?
We
all know how diverse each managers philosophies and priorities are in
the MLB, why not flesh this out further and represent it in the game?
+ADD NEW Commentary Team: The analogy I can make here is it's like upgrading your wedding suite each year from Perry Ellis, to Hugo Boss and eventually an Armani but still wearing it with the same old scuffed up Florsheim shoes you got years ago. Besides the fact that Matt Vasgergian and Rex Hudler are just dull and have no electricity whatsoever, their commentary is starting to get old and tiring. Next, to the 'oragami' guy, Dan O'Keefe at 2K Football, The Show's commentary team borders on the most annoying in sports. It's time to kick these guys to the curb and compliment your award winning game with an equally deep and talented baseball commentary team, ...Hell, I'd even settle for hockey guys, like Doc Emrick or Gary Thorne just to get some excitement an energy into the booth!
