There are a few things that I wish were improved in the webcast mode.
1) The one thing I miss from the broadcast screen is being able to see the player pictures as they pitch or bat. There is this excellent face gen feature, and I wish I were able to see the photos on the webcast screen. I think there must have been a lot of thought in dividing up the webcast screen and putting a lot of meaningful information there. I think that was well done. I'm not sure where I would have the photos go, maybe something which could switch between photo mode or player stats mode (e.g. "Batting LHB name" screen).

2) when a player bunts, it appears as an green (ball) or red (strike) color pitch, and in my opinion should be a blue pitch (ball in play is my way of thinking of the blue color). Or maybe a separate color other than blue could be used for the bunt.

3) I would rather have called strikes be a different color than swung at strikes. I then would be able to see some information at a glance rather than needing to read it. Currently the foul swings are orange, called strikes and swung on strikes both red. I would rather see fouled balls yellow, called strike orange, swung on strike red for example.

4) It would be nice if team colors were somehow represented near the currently batting and pitching teams or maybe the team logo could show up on the batting (LHB name) and pitching (RHP name) screens to the right of the batter. Sometimes I get dreary eyed staring at a mostly black and white screen when I'm speeding through the boring parts of a game; and I lose track of who is batting and who is pitching. This didn't happen in the broadcast screen because the player colors show up on the batter and fielders. It is obvious which team is where.
