View Full Version : A Major Rant!

I just wanted to rant about what I think a game needs in order for it to be the best. Now with Blu-ray technology, it may very well be possible for it to happen.

Tailing baseballs down the line. I know a lot of you are baseball players and have seen a ball ripped down the line that hooks foul. Or even for that matter, a ball is hit to left/right field, but hooks into the corner for extra bases.

Fair amount of foul balls with different variety. More realistic.

More realistic crowds. I know everyone comments on this, but I also think that a homer should be followed into the stands wherever it may land.

All teams should be user controlled for maximum roster accuracy.

Record tracking - if a player is riding a 9 game hitting streak, the announcers should mention it during the players at bat. All records should be entered into the game database.

Wrigley fans should throw the baseball back on the field when a visitor hits a dinger.

All stadiums should have their own nuances.

Players who are hot, should have a minor boost in categories in which they are excelling in

More camera views

More extra base hits!!! A realistic triple, they do happen you know!!!

Accurate stat collecting. If I hit a triple or an inside the park homer, it should reflect and not say 0-1!!

All players should be able to be edited in all facets. If John Dowd is a switch hitting white guy, then I should be able to edit him to a 40yr old lefty African American #25.

Customizable player movement following the completion of a season.

Better player progression or should I say more realistic progression.

A more interesting home page during seasons, like MLB.com and MiLB.com. If a player hits four homers in a game, he should be the headline on the home page. Also a "Down on the Farm" report that hypes up the next player who should be called up and keeps the manager aware of what is going on in the minors.


Im sure there are many more, but I just wanted to get a couple things off my chest. Comments please!

HELL YES! its sad when a game like mlb power pros thats teargeted for mainly kids follows the home run ball more so on replays than a sim.

I want to see the ball splash in the cove, I want the ball hit on the street in Chitown
Upper Deck shots are needed in MANY stadiums I want to see the ball hit off the restaraunt glass at the rogers centre. These Things happen in real life, and as far i understood video games are supposed to make sports as real as possible lets go here!

Seriously, Im pretty sure they have someone on board who checks it out, but the chances of him being a baseball nut like us are pretty slim. Even with my full time job, I would take the time to help develop this game for free. I was playing last years game with some of my ex-college teammates and we were pointing out some of the things we hated about last years game.

love the idea of a homerun tracker into the stands. also, if somebody reaches a major milestone like 3000 hits the game should be temporarily stopped to honor that player.

Not sure what bluray has to do with any of this. This can all be done on a regular game disk.



Good points.

i think what ksig is saying regarding bluray disc chitown is that the blueray disc holds more information than they do on a regular disc so he would think down the line they could cram more stuff on them...which isnt a bad idea but it wont happen anytime soon

there is alot of things they can make better, new things they can put in, i guess there is only so much u can put in in the time they have

Blu Ray holds more, thats what he was saying, but for the most part majority of this stuff should easily be implemented on a regular 360 disk as well. these thing arent rocket science.
