Anyone who plays UBO will know that its a great game but has a lot of room for improvement. I just thought id note some down and see what people think.
Pitching
I think pitching is probably one the aspects that most people would like improved, at the moment making contact is very easy and hitting home runs isn't much harder. There are many ways to improve the pitching in UBO, maybe allowing each pitcher an "individual pitch" maybe a mix of 2 pitches or 1 pitch with a big increase in speed this would allow a pitcher to have "special pitch" being very hard to hit, so having a good chance of k'ing a pinker, maybe adding bean as an actual pitch would be kool too lol.
Another way would be to add a kind of ball spin, like on a lot of golf games you can add spin to a ball by clicking a small picture, adding this to UBO would allow players to disguise pitches, so rather than every curve ball being the same they could put a low spin for increased height or a high spin for sharper drop, so a full speed curve ball with low spin would be a lot different to it with high spin.Also a possibility would be to allow a pitcher to change stance at any point in a game, so being able to exploit a weakness of a certain hitter. The ability to do an intentional walk would add a lot more skill to the game, allowing a pitcher to avoid certain hitters without the worry of a big pink out the zone home run, I doubt any of these ideas will be implemented but its worth a shot lol.
Fielding
Fielding is pretty simple in UBO but i do think it needs tweaking a bit, you could run straight towards a ball and just run past it even if its dead on the floor, i have to hit s for him to pick it up, be inside the circle with glove open but still not catch the ball. These are mainly sync issues as far as I'M aware but I'm not positive.
Hitting
Hitting is pretty easy as it is but there are still a few things i think they could change, one being the batters box, if it would be possible to remove the batter box during the pitch it would change a lot of things giving hitters a "skill" in being able to see a ball rather than just seeing its outside a big box. Removing pink home runs would also allow more batters to stand out as good hitters rather than a red hitter hitting as many homers as a pinker.
Community
Adding a friends list is possibly one of the most useful additions netamin can do, i pretty much think almost 100% of UBO would agree a friends list or instant messaging type of thing would be great, maybe also adding a way to check e-notes in game rather than have to log into the UBO site, most people i know rarley check there e-notes but in most ways an e-note is the only way to contact an off line player
Not all of the ideas are mine but these are ideas I've either thought of or agree with, to any of you who haven't played UBO, ultimateonlinebaseball.com
is in my opinion the best mmo in a long time.
