Clubs are such a good idea. If executed well it adds a social element as well as a competitive element if they can incorporate weekly events, missions, rewards, etc. Not sure how many people would be able to be in one club but that would be important. Make them exclusive.
I definitely would like to see them get more creative on the online/dd aspect of the game, but I also want them to focus a lot more on franchise mode as well. I’ve gotten into it a lot more over the past few years of playing the game(have been playing since 18) and I feel like things like adding more than just 3 players or maybe even if they add draft picks(for example) into a trade or getting international free agents finally added as well as getting different managers/ personal available rather than made up ones, gives the mode justice. Things like that can Improve the game in the long run, especially for the people that don’t have the necessary skill needed to play online, so that they can get into the style of managing their favorite teams and have fun. Not to mention the progression system, I don’t like seeing my prospects go up 2 in attributes after they have an insane season and then regress the next one.
I don't think it'd be so bad if they had it to where it wasn't forced on everyone. Maybe a regular ranked seasons and then have this as a "event" type game mode but tied into ranked
Another idea is transferable team captain boosts - for example, if someone wanted to use a different (better) version of a team captain card AND also get a boost, allow the boost to be transferred to that different card. Or transfer it to another card from the same team to allow more team build flexibility. Eh?
Just have captain “badges” instead of cards. You want an all-time Phillies team, earn the Phillies badge and apply it to your squad…each Phillies player gets a boost and the more Phillies you have the better the boost. Then you don’t have to worry about a better version of your captain card coming out.
instead of perks, we should just have coaching staffs and managers like in franchise. 30 live series for each role and 5-10 legend managers and coaches
I've told them several times that making more exclusive cards and cosmetics is a great way to incentivize more player engagement. The fact that they have made the parallel insignia/icon smaller and more modest over time is insane to me. Give me a Gilded superfractor if I earn 50,000 pxp with a Finest David Wright. I'm here for it.
I would be opposed to a mode for like yugioh dueling for upgrades for squad. Face someone and if u win winner “takes” card for unlock able purposes. YourFriendKyle did that in his wheeling and dealing series.( for rage quits and mercy’s)
What about some sort of create a manager type of thing where you get to pick your own perks that level up in some sort of way. Bronze being the lowest, Diamond being the highest, and as you progress with gameplay challenges, your stats for the the perks you have chosen increase incrementally as well. Kind of a create your own captain kind of thing. It’d add an extra layer to team building, and allow for more team variation, instead of just playing with the most meta team.
Hey chev, what do you think of a series where depending on how you do with the card certain stats go up. For example I’m hitting with .500 with judge so his contact stat slowly goes up with the amount of abs he has. Kinda how road to the show is ?
Madden used to do something called pickems and if you won ud get like 10000 coins and a loss was like 1k and do it for special events not everyday type thing
Atleast they are trying new ideas, hopefully they are doing this to see what ideas the community latches onto. Just not sure how much time they will have to make these changes
It might be a bad idea, but what about an online game mode where you can change the rules of baseball, opponents can view those changes and accept or deny playing by those rules, and then you play a game by those rules. Perhaps also with or without team restrictions.
Honestly, none of these suggestions really move the needle for me at all. We need a new online game mode like weekend league or some mix of events (player restrictions), BR (draft style or limit the card overalls), and ranked (mission/win associated progress and rewards). Most of these are just wonky cosmetic arcade changes to a game that’s billed as a sim. I’d rather they invest in a lot of new “legends”, go next gen only, revamp hitting/fielding engine, fix pitcher stamina, etc. than any of these proposals.
I don't mind some of these, but I know none of this will expand franchise and fix it so that the legacy issues its had for 15+ years would be fixed or optimized for the players that do play it. Like DD can make the money, then use that money to fix the fucking mode. Roster logic is still shit, progression regression is shit, just....UGH fuck I swear the only way ill ever have a good franchise mode is just fucking OOTP. UGH Also a lot of this stuff just sounds like were locking more content behind paywalls, RNG, etc so that unless you want GOOD stuff you gotta pay. Like I was already turned off from the S1 pack heavy stuff. I get it they need to make money, but im just not into paying money like that to just get content. Not for me.
Adding something pretending „betting“ is okay/good is simply the worst. Betting ruines lives all the time and it is simply not okay advertising a game with (if they do so)
This all ties back to we need new modes to use this shit other wise it’s gonna feel empty like co op I want a reason to use a theme team for a reason other than just bc also dd commissioner is dumb as hell 😂😂
Give sds some credit,, they try to listen to feed back and implement it in the game,, I couldn't tell you the last time that 2K did that and actually listen to its base
Being somebody who can't grind everyday or stream all the time, there were some ideas that were interesting. The 2x pxp was a standout to me. The cosmetics are cool, but not a forefront grind. Fun to see Chev break it down and be a voice for the casuals out there lol
I do want to say, I like the RPG elements and evolution programs, team chemistry feels like it’s forcing me into playing with certain cards just like team captains.

Almost all these ideas just sound cosmetic with no actual game play changes

No doubt animations should be like In single player.. be able to sell paralleled cards. Wager stubs against players in DD
DD Commissioner would absolutely destroy this game 😂😂😂 no way anyone thinks that’s a good idea
the only truly abysmal idea on this list lmao
@ horrid lol embarrassing they even suggested it. Also e.g = exempli gratia “for example” in Latin
Wow there losing ideas and making up random shit now so they won’t lose players playing the game
I don't think it'd be so bad if they had it to where it wasn't forced on everyone. Maybe a regular ranked seasons and then have this as a "event" type game mode but tied into ranked
To me, I interpreted it as a new game mode….basically events with a new name.
Another idea is transferable team captain boosts - for example, if someone wanted to use a different (better) version of a team captain card AND also get a boost, allow the boost to be transferred to that different card.

This SDS ^^
@@paulclifton0691 W idea
Just have captain “badges” instead of cards. You want an all-time Phillies team, earn the Phillies badge and apply it to your squad…each Phillies player gets a boost and the more Phillies you have the better the boost. Then you don’t have to worry about a better version of your captain card coming out.
Could be a lot of fun ways to earn a captain badge (hit 100 Hrs with any Phillies players in any mode)
@@jasonharding9887 - that’s a solid idea!
Home run celebrations as a team (i.e Trident for the Mariners) would be a cool add imo
DD commissioner just sounds like a new form of events
instead of perks, we should just have coaching staffs and managers like in franchise. 30 live series for each role and 5-10 legend managers and coaches
6:16 madden has been doing this for a while in ultimate team
Brought back HR No doubt animations for local 1vs1 or 2vs2

“MLB The Show needs more RPG elements” @&&? that’s a great comment.

Chev, “e.g” is a latin abbreviation for “example gratia”, meaning “for example”
Madden used to do something called pickems and if you won ud get like 10000 coins and a loss was like 1k and do it for special events not everyday type thing
E.G stands for example given to answer your question
It good that they are trying stuff and have new ideas because BR, Events, and Ranked as the only online modes isn’t working anymore 🤔🤷🏾♂️

the ball skins (pause) is a terrible idea, i don’t need to be focusing on hitting a flying cookie and it just screams inconsistency to me

anyone else feel like they need to release this game in February this year? Like as soon as spring training starts..
LETS GOOOO he fixed it! Super excited to watch this
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

By "rumor" you mean it's a good idea that SDS has never once mentioned themselves?

A lot of this feels like they are combining madden and FPS battle passes. This game might be headed in a BAD direction.

GET TIM LINCECUM’s rights please!!!!!!!!!!!
Basically, the ideas are stolen from the mobile game MLB 9 Innings 2024 and that model of the game is not good
2nd time is the charm 😂
yeaaaaaaah
