The Extremely Early Wish List Thread

[EnglishMet89]

Hey Guys,
I think I have some preety good ideas, however I dont know if these have already been posted so you will have to bare with me.

• Firstly weather. Now I dont know how hard this is to program into the game but maybe in april places like Colorado and Cleveland should see snow. And maybe have a in game weather menu where you can see the forecast as the game goes along. So if rain is forecasted you could pull your pitcher after maybe 3 innings to save him for the next game.
• Attendance. Now I'm a real big fan of the system so far of attences fluctuating because of a good record or promotions. But wouldnt it be great if your teams down 12-0 and the stadium starts to empty. And then for the commentators to react to this.
• Schedule. It would also be fantastic if some games started at 3:05 and the sky starts to go dark in game. Another idea I have is that some games you play could be broadcasted on say a National or Local basis a little like NCAA. Also be allowed to choose your jerseys.
• Lineups. Maybe have 4 lineups to choose from so if 1 lineup is not working so well you could just select another that you made earlier instead of having to swap players around.

Now I know most of my suggestions are to do with presentation which probably is the best in any sports game already but to maybe buff them up a bit would be nice to see.

Thanks!

These along with my idea which is in my thread titled: Greatest Idea Ever for 09, would make THE BEST Baseball videogame by far.

Thanks, your trade value idea would be fantastic cause thats what happens GM's try to figure how much one player relates to another.
A lot like the Sabathia trade.
To add an idea to your idea what if you had 4 options when you highlight the player you want. Thes 4 options could be
1. Approach ballclub about players availabilty.
2. Contact GM over possible trade
3. Contact players agent
4. Make trade offer

I think in the next edition of the game you should be able to offer draft picks or money like in real baseball .

RTTS....The Catcher calling pitches. That is a great idea.

Would also like to see arm bands for mother/fathers day.

[BoSox Rule]

RTTS

Do drills when you create your player like in Madden and then get drafted.

Please, please, please fix the fielding. Gameplay-wise, its the game killer for me at times. Guys not throwing quick enough, holding the ball, crow hopping, pre-loaded throws not actually going through....kills me. Even the jump and dive seems difficult and clumsy for me.

Hopefully this gets smoothed out

The throwing really needs to be addressed. I'd rather they go back to one type of throw than some of the frustrating throws I see in the game. Had one today where a guy dragged bunted down the first base line, my pitcher hustled over to get it, it was going to be a close play and GROAN he goes into a big wind up (15 feet from the bag), overhands it. UGH. Runner is ten feet past the bag by the time the ball gets there.

The underhanded one to 2nd base that kills your inning because the runner beats it. And all the high throws to first base. Geez, can I see a booted ground ball instead. Just one!
