What Does MLB 13 The Show Need to do Next Year to Satisfy Your Baseball Gaming Needs?

[WinMINTwins]

Just a few things:
-Allow us to edit coaching outside of Franchise; create a coach, reassign coaches to other teams.
-Create-a-team outside of Diamond Dynasty. Add in Create-a-stadium and I don't think I'd ever put the game down.
-Stop giving minor league managers cornrows and handlebar mustaches. I don't really think players have those anyways. (While on the subject of hair, why not give buzzcuts, dreads, mullets, and a slider to adjust the amount of gray hair a player has?)
-Some very small accessory additions: gloves or the arm-brace-thing while baserunning; necklaces (metal or Phiten); different catcher gear designs; etc.
-Adjustment of RTTS goals based on what type of player we are (no more HR goals when we bat leadoff).
-And of course, the commentary needs some work - everyone says this, but this obviously excludes Vasgersian.

i wish you can take your RTTS player over to mlb the show 13 rather than remaking my player again and bein a rookie lol.. i do wish it was more like RL off the field and on the field where you get fined for not showing up to practice, gettin thrown out of a ball game (have yet to see this in mlb 12).. ejected after hitting a batter more than 3 times in a row.. (i hit 14 batters and was still in the game to see if i would ever get ejected.. never did..) have twitter, facebook like madden lol i kinda like it.. and if you are a relief/closing pitcher, or benched because you are takin a day off you should be able to watch every game besides just jumpin in like mlb 12 and the others. rain out games .. and like a MLB Tonight Recap Show.. other than this stuff i like playin mlb the show since 09 when i first bought a ps3 its improved over the years and hopin it continues to improve..

Classic teams and more classic stadiums. Outside of that, the game is absolutely incredible.

Would also like to see varying winds regardless of location and eliminate the slider for it.

Pre-game batting practice with warmup uniforms and hats on during season / franchise mode.

Fix Comerica Park HR celebration. The fountains go off and the eyes of the Tigers on the scoreboard flash. Seems my Tiges can't get any love.

Mini Games - Amped up HR derby with targets; fantasy stadiums (like Baseball Simulator 1000); Roofs open / close during rain; which leads me to dynamic weather

Incorporate This Week in Baseball with Mel Allen's voice with weekly highlights

Choice of home / away gear for each player (i.e. shoe color)

Improved celebrations for World Series - IN franchise have a pre-game ceremony in second season for WS Champs receiving rings...

Better trade logic in Franchise & RTTS modes.

Goals that make more sense to achieve in RTTS mode. Also you should have a choice if you want to play your entire career with one team. I think many people would agree that it would be cool to play your entire career with your favourite team. If your team wants to trade you maybe in the menu you could be prompted and have the option of declining it.

Retractable roofs that work. I'm honestly blown away how this hasn't been done yet STILL!! graphics, detail, everything is great about stadiums but yet still this gets left out year after year.

Fix the weather. specifically with temps... I think across the board every city seems to cold most of the time especially night games.

More variety of animations for some plays; such as jumping, throwing, HR celebrations.

Fix the finance aspect of Franchise. Make more limited budgets for teams, especially based on performance. Regardless of how my team does, every year I make boat loads of cash and can basically sign anyone I want, acquire the best coaches, scouts, medicine, rehab etc...

Add playable single A leagues.

More depth to scouting, drafting, training.

I love MLB 12, as I'm not a "baseball guru" or anything it doesn't take too much for me to satisfy my baseball gaming needs. However, these are a couple things that I wouldn't mind seeing in for 13.

- I think the base running animations are a little spastic looking and don't look like realistic running movements.

- I remember playing a baseball game back on the original xbox where you could customize the jersey fit. I'd like to see that. Example: Loose, normal, tight, and you could choose whether to have it buttoned all the way up or the top button unbuttoned.

- More hairstyle and facial hair styles

- I see a lot of swings where the player will release the bat almost immediately after making contact, before he even comes close to finishing his swing, I think the timing could be better on that.

Honestly, that's about it from me... I love this game and can't wait to see what they do for 13.

Please add the ability to edit player potential and player contracts outside of franchise and season modes. Would also like it if they would fix it were superstar players like Jeter, Ichiro, A-rod etc don't retire after the first year. Also maybe release the game world wide so people outside of America don't have to import it every year.

I would really enjoy this because I'm obsessive about the uniforms my players wear. It would be GREAT to have an option for home/away gloves or even just switch the white bits of gloves to road grey.

I love this idea as well. Maybe during player creation you can select an archetype (speedster, contact hitter, power hitter) and Road to the Show goals will be adjusted accordingly. I also love your idea of either disabling (for those guys who just want to be on their favorite team) or being able to veto player trades in the RTTS options.

Real equipment! Every other sports game has it! We're talking Nike, Reebok, Under Armour, Mizuno, Louisville Slugger etc! And maybe get the San Francisco Giants broadcasters Kruk & Kuip from the MVP baseball series to do the commentary. :-)
