Glad I don't play online.
Yep, this, plus also other reasons, is why I refuse to play online games. While still a minority of the group, the number of people who play online games who are also hackers, spammers, cheats, and amoral is skewed more concentrated than in everyday life. Online gaming offers the anonymity that allows people of low repute to gain access to the outside world.
In the traditional world, when you play a pickup game, you cannot hide behind an alias. If you hit the shot, everyone sees you hit the shot. If you struck out the batter, everyone sees that. If you get upset that someone on the court is lighting you up and you choose to put a hard foul on that sharpshooter, then everyone sees that you did it. You cannot hide. This is how sports reveals the soul of people and teaches good values and reinforces true excellence.
But, in the online games, nefarious people can craft stupid stadiums that only seek to exploit anger and frustration, to encourage people to quit fraudulent games and by that the cheater gets cheap wins. What boggles my mind is how these virtual trinkets can become so important to people that they are willing to cheat to get them.

Exactly. Look at the state CoD is in...you can't even play a single round of TDM without running into at least one hacker/cheater.
I've always maintained that these people are either so desperate for recognition that they do this to be a "top player", or they're just so miserable with their own existence that they need to make everyone else just as much so.
-
Sarge,
I hate to say this, brother, but I have no clue what CoD and TDM mean in the context you are talking about! That's how unfamiliar with DD online play I truly am! LOL!!

@PriorFir4383355_XBL the license thing is total BS, same with former players being in the game. SDS has the rights to the MLB alumni thing. Something I wasn't aware of until recently. It's basically the same thing as having the rights to the MLBPA. That means, the long list of guys that opted into the MLBAA can be in the game if SDS wants it, but for whatever reason they don't do it. Imagine having nof just the players, but old teams and stadiums in the game. Not just individual players in DD but teams in exhibition, franchise, etc etc. They deliberately hold back content in all of their modes. It sucks. Now granted not every former player is in the MLBAA but it's a long list. Thank God for OOTP. They have the same licensing agreement with the MLBOA and MLBAA. Over 2000 guys. Past and present. You should really give that game a shot, other than the "gameplay" it's so much more superior than the show, in every other aspect.
-
And before anyone says "Well, SDS has to pay those guys if they are in the game"....not exactly. SDS can certainly afford it if OOTP can.

Excellent points! And I'll add for extra credit that if SDS doesn't wish to do the leg work to render all the necessary stadiums, uniforms, and logos to support alternate leagues from generations past, if they worked up a fully featured Stadium Creator, Uniform Editor, and Logo Editor, then I know a lot of talented designers who would do it for them for free!

@PriorFir4383355_XBL CoD = Call of Duty..... TDM = Team DeathMatch
-
I would GLADLY take a run at Ebbetts Field, Tiger Stadium, and even the LA Coliseum if we were to have a fully and proper functioning Creator.
-
@Sarge1387_PSN I just want the Vet, the Phillies 80s jerseys, Chief Wahoo and Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
-
@JoeSelser_PSN Chief Wahoo will never be back

So the question remains. Why are we still allowing that glitched stadium to be uploaded to the Vault? You cannot modify it (I tried). Everything about it screams made on PC using a hack of some kind. Take the stadium out of the vault and ban anyone who continues to upload it.
I've seen this stadium in ranked 10 times now. No excuse why it should be allowed to even be a thing
-
I'm getting concerned SDS, via their radio silence about the mode, is using this nonsense as a catalyst to justify removing the creator altogether.
To your original point. this definitely reeks of PC modding. And that being said, there needs to be a certain set of parameters the stadium meets in order to be uploaded, something that still allows creators to alter the fences manually but keep it fair and eligible.

The reason offered for how the baseline panels (and backstop panels) became moveable never really did pass the sniff check. Though none of us can be sure, I suspect this is an example of a person (or persons) taking the game code out of the console via a data transfer, and porting it over to a PC and decompiling the executing code into the source code, which allowed the code devoted to Stadium Creator to be modified.
Once this was done, the code was recompiled back into its execution form, and then downloaded and placed back into the console, and then used to create a stadium with moveable baseline/backstop wall panels.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL that maddy individual remains suspect to me till the day I die.9
