Amazon river Mekong Delta Snake River Vehicles would like to see a rowing option as using motors all the time is not very realistic and will scare lots of fish away - for certain types of boats listed below if added in. John Boat Canoes Paddle board Pontoon Rod holders to allow pole swapping on boats like a peg could have 3 around the platform you step on to - please now that channel cats and dead baits are in game add in some rod holders to the platform so we can put a rod with bait out and still fish for bass ect while we wait for a bite or have more then one bait out. fish from. Editable boat options more than just wraps ect let us put some life into our boats and give them unique taste to suit the person ie lure holder , rod holder options and upgradeable motors and trolling motors- maybe upgrade able fish finder from old style you had in game all the way up to current tech, also a gps with map markers so if you find that really hot spot on lake. We can put a gps marker there that persists through any match you go into have a limited number of tags available per map to use like 5 to 8 Vehicle Brands Lund Creek Company Ascend Clothing Wader options and allow walking up banks and in shallow water if river venues happen Fanny packs and belts with plastic tackle holders Ability to use glasses and hat at same time- great now added in for our chars not in career mode. Fish Basket Terminal tackel Bobbers Sinkers Jig heads of different sizes Wired line leaders Snaps of different sizes More hook options in size and diff color hooks Such as bleeding bait, circle hooks different treble hooks and size to change on crank baits. Useable net for when fish is close enough to trigger a early catch if held in place and guided into net properly. Lure, bait and line changes Add durability to lures make it when it hits rocks, banks or pylons lets paint get scratches from use hooks getting bent if you hook a big enough fish and ability to lose lures once purchase if say line snaps. Also should add a qty option when buying lures, bait and for line a yardage option as each reel spool can hold varying amounts of line. Multiplayer Endless mode in multiplayer option or match type for when you just want to chill and catch up with friends while waiting between fish catches... have ability to sit down in chair in endless mode and swap options on lake for the session ie change time of day or weather type and now that is in edit species caught on lake. Weather, Time, Water Level Dynamic weather option - more then just rainstorms have varying degree of rain like off and on to torrential or very light. add some snowstorms, hail, lightning, and high winds that affect how your gear casts. Seasons add to existing lakes where background changes and different effects like leafs changing color falling... water around edges of lakes freezing Water temp affecting how fish bite ect Water level option would be nice to see as throughout year lakes levels go from low to higher depths depending on temps level of rain and if they drain lakes that have a dam on them. A realistic time mode that has a start time choice that progress throughout day like real life untill it hits an optional end time option with default being never ending freedom mode. Player Made Content. Community - Player made lakes as an optional download thing for multiplayer mode only let us have some tools on pc to create and design lake of our dreams and ability to upload them for everyone to play one ... also should be able to add any species to them we want and ability to create our own random boss fish profile and bios for these and able to say increased spawn of x type of species or decrease spawn or a slider where x % of fish spawn will be x species so we can cherry pick which common catches ect we want and which fish you want them to feel awesome about catching cause its rare on this lake... just would add some more play-ability to game and give people a reason to do multiplayer mode more often. Xbox One Play Anywhere Hdr and 4k support added in.
Lake Champlain would be a great addition huge lake with a large selection of fish from sun fish to sturgeon.
Would be great to see salt water added in eventually would love to fish for greenling, cabezon,lingcod, shark, tuna, halibut, flounder, barracuda, giant groupers be fun and could open up a bunch of unique venues for them. Be very interested to see them add this lake in the game as it would add several species to game i mentioned and some not mentioned that could be a fun catch to throw in like a eel or lamprey.
Wow great list. Like the stock pond idea that would be cool if we could go to other user ponds as well. Would be nice to go to say just a Muskie pond where all the fish put in are 40 lbs or higher. I would love that think everyone would.
I know I would love if they put the player made pond option in would make the game more interesting to see what others ideas are for perfect lake or pond.
Great list, don’t think it will ever happen. One other thing id like to see is vertical jigging for lake trout, trolling etc. maybe in 2025.
