FEAR OUR MIGHTY POWER!

and 8 days leter...

tried to tell ya calling would be more effective.

I say we go to your plan B and swear

It would take too long to say everything that we have written and for them to write it down. Unless you want to do it.

I'm more concerned on when the game comes out.............lol

But for me, if i know what will be changed, i'll decide whether or not to buy. Than again, i'm sure i can just use this site.

That's true you guys really want online mode, I really want WBC and gonna get it. If this is like the japanese version and I hope it is, THIS 09 VERSION WILL BE MY LAST MLB POWER PROS (unless they make some changes)

Here's my $0.02 of things to correct/fix/add:

1) password compatibility - from 08 forward, and from system to system would be nice (but not as important)
2) How about adding heigh/weight/bodies to players? Being able to configure a head only isn't faire for the 6'8" kyle snyder, the largeness of David Wells and Prince Fielder. Just a few simple height/weight or a slider like the Mii design has would do it.
3) Improve trade AI in season mode. Holy heck, batman. I can easily game this AI, and what's worse is that trades don't make sense; the AI gets people it doesn't need, and parts with those it has no replacement for.
4) deeper rosters - just top 10 prospects works. Any AAA'ers with MLB experience (Bobby Kielty, Trot Nixon, etc) and the top AA/AAA talent that could be called up.
5) Bugs in the scripting - success mode things don't make sense or text is translated incorrectly in some minor situations. Just a few run-thrus by any English speaking person would fix this.
6) Ratings - especially things like Stamina. why do so many pitchers - so many STARTERS - have 40 stamina? This leads to teams just being behind the 8-ball from the start - one injury and their whole season is blown. IRL, lots of pitchers can be stretched into starters over spring training if they have the ability; stamina needs to be handled more dynamically. Maybe some inverse relationship between role (starter vs reliever) and pitch intensity (a 99mpg reliever might dial it back to 93-94 for long-term starts).
7) multiple save slots for success. Also, for crying out loud, why does the default screen pop up with 'Delete current player' when you enter Success mode? How many times do we all hit yes, and then SCREAM and hit back immediately after?!
8) Drafted/fictional players - use their entire name database, assign first names, make them more real. I don't want Clippard and Hubbard as my draftees every year. Randomize appearances and facial hair, etc a bit more would be cool.
9) FIELDER CONTROL!! I completely don't get how after any testing, after a whole VERSION, this issue exists. A slow roller goes to the right of first; I move the stick left, making my second baseman dive. My 1B rushes to the bag, and watches the ball roll 3 feet from him without moving towards it. I have no way to take control of him. similar issues with fielders rushing to cover unimportant bases (covering 3rd when bases are empty), and outfielders stopping 3 feet short of catching a shallow fly, while you end up sending your infielders down, down, down towards catcher. Put in better fielding AI, the 'areas of control' that other games use, or a manual button to toggle to the closest fielder.

Those are my top 9. I won't buy a new version without 9 and/or 1. I won't buy anything more if this, like so many other games, turns into the same thing over and over with new rosters and marginal corrections.

Cmon MLBPP, Make us proud.

i know i've said this before, but we need scouting rookies, and maybe scouting players from different countries! (A.K.A. japan and dominican republic)
also, there can be something (don't know where) where you run players through drills (like in madden), and the better you do the more you know about them.

You know i dont really care what they add
Just as long as they add 20-30 years for season mode

Being able to edit appearances in Season mode would be nice, I just want to make all of my players look rad

And they should have either a create a stadium feature, or they need more stadium for instance the old ones like Olympic Stadium(Expos)

Ebbets Field!
that would be cool, even thougb it's actually stadia de olympique (i think)

having REAL AAA teams would be cool too, even if they were all Greats I'd still love it

I know I mentioned his before but this game really needs rookies to actually be rookies when they play

For instance, if I bring a player up for one at bat, he can't be a rookie anymore
And when I wanted Ellsbury and Pedroia to be rookies and '07 in '08 in these games, they weren't
