i would also like to see these features.
1)a relocation option during franchise mode allowing you to move and change the team name or keep it the same and create new uniforms and stadium.
2)a realignment option with all the talks about realignment in real life it would be fun to create your own.
3)also for the franchise mode an expansion team mode would be cool. start as a new ball club (not replacing an existing team like other sports games) hire a coaching staff and put together a team of players with whats available on free agents and maybe players from other country’s (japan, mexico, etc.).
4)players coming back as managers
5)a change of color in the all-star uniforms from year to year depending on the hosting team, or the option of using classic all-star uniforms.
6)user set goals for players in franchise mode, much like rtts mode, user could select from a few option ex: if you have drew stubbs on your team you can set his goal to have 60 stolen bases in a year. or you could even make them short term goals like 3 stolen bases for the upcoming series. this way if you simulate a few games during the season your players still work towards there goal.

A few questions/suggestions;
1.) Name Brand equipment or even just different styles of gloves (webbing type, dual colors etc) and catchers gear (tired of seeing everyone wear the same chest protector)? necklaces (phiten etc) Cleats? (nike, adidas, UA, etc… the cleats in the game look like Mizuno brand) differnt types of sunglasses (more realistic looking ones Oakley radars, flak jackets etc)
Ability to open and close the roof in stadiums which allow so (Miller Park, Tropicana Field, etc.)
Better World Series, ALCS/NLCS, division series, playoff clinching Celebrations. Sucks to a bland similar celebration after winning the WS
Brawls, manager arguments which can lead to suspensions
coach hiring and firing during the middle of a season
All Star game players wear the uniform of their respective teams
change the dates on the following seasons Opening day (season 2 should be Opening day 2013)
Standings board in stadiums show actual standings (Fenway Park)
Ring and banner ceremony the following season if you win the WS

Glad to see changes in the commentary. looking forward to see what else is new, and to see if this game is worth getting on release day as of now you guys have me leaning towards yes

The Show hasn’t changed since the reboot with The Show 2006. Part of this reason is Baseball video games are limited compared to other sports games. I bought both 09 and 10 for cheaper price but those and The Show 11 demo is the same thing. Dont care about move support or right stick controls.

One of things I hate about 09/10 is the load times and the online games are way too laggy.

Another [DELETED] Suxs player on the cover? Are you freakin kidding me? Bad enough had to go through 2 years of Mauer but now a 3rd [DELETED] Suxs? Fat Sloppi 06, Pedrophile in 09 and now Gonzo.. So thats 3 Red Suxs, 1 Muts, 1 Philthy, and 2 Twinkies same player…Yet Granderson of the Yankees had better season. [DELETED] that bum Verlander got rigged voting and won the MVP would of been more deserving. But a player on a joke of a team that was the biggest choke artists in history? RETARDED

What about more classic parks? Everyone LOVED the classic parks in MLB The Show 10, than they did not do any updates classic parks for MLB The Show 11. Come on guys, that’s what separates you from the rest

3 – Retractable roofs; more options for teams that have stadiums with retractable roofs. Open, closed, closing in rain, opening halfway through a game… etc.

4 – Manager arguments, brawls, ejections; something with some sort of an option that we can toggle while the play is happening, similar to MVP Baseball 2005; just something that will provide the user with some quick stress relief! :p

5 – More fluidity in the player models; pitchers, batters, fielders; there should be a bit more of the jerseys flapping in the wind, or moving when the players swing. I find a lot of the animations are still a bit too robotic, and something to correct this would be going the extra mile to add more realism.

6 – Custom celebrations; strikeout fist pumps, pimping your shot, touching the plate, recording a base-hit, closing out a game… again, little things to add to the flair of a player.

If any/all of these can be put into the game, or are already in the game; that’s fantastic!

Looking forward to the finished product.

Wondering if any of these will apply to the game, if not then here are a few suggestions!

1 – Create-a-player realism; the faces do NOT have the same level of realism as the real player models. Will there be a fix to at least make the features (eyes, eyebrows, mouth, facial hair, etc…) blend better and create a more realistic looking face? Also more variation of create-a-player face models would be nice, and add a bit more of a realistic touch to the overall feel of the game. More options when choosing batting stances; follow through added to the stance.
ALSO, more customization; hat angle, curve, glasses flipped up, down, necklaces (phitens, chains, etc), different sized jerseys (CC’s massive, baggy jersey), jersey buttons (all done up, one undone, two undone)… little things like that to add to a certain players flair.

2 – RTTS; can we continue our previous road to the show careers? Picking up where we leave off with a save game from years past would be a great feature to have, and save many of the users a lot of time. Plus the concept of the player evolving with the game would be cool, and a great selling point too. (you hear me SCEA? :P)

my sons and i just want to play season mode, TOGETHER… either on the same team or separate teams… PLEASE tell me this is included in this year’s version. it’s the ONLY thing missing from previous installments, and we’ve bought every one… and will continue to, regardless… BUT, that would be the icing on the cake!

Looking forward to MLB 12 The Show coming March 2012. One request I do have for the game is for my cleveland indians and their park progressive field in cleveland ohio to have the correct championship banners on the upper deck in right field they are not in left field anymore please fix that for the game and also please add the batter’s eye bar that’s in right center field near the tribe’s bullpen. Thanks SCEA and keep up the good work on the MLB The Show series.
