MLB The Show 26 (and beyond) Suggestions
-
Just a few things for developers to look at for next year's version or beyond. Mostly aesthetic-wise.
-
In Franchise mode, allow users to adjust the start times for first pitch. While it's fine to suggest a regular start time, such as maybe a 7:00 PM game on a Saturday night, if users want to adjust that to an afternoon game, they should be able to.
-
In Franchise mode, if a game is selected for Sunday's "Game of the Week", the start time should not be 5:00 PM local. Don't lock users into that selection either.
-
Weather needs an overhaul. The temperatures are colder than they normally would be. It should not be less than 65°F at night every time you play in a northern city. Allow us to also choose the temperature. If we also choose for the roof to be open in a retractable-roof ballpark, the system should automatically indicate temperatures are probably in the 70s or so, not in the 50s.

I cant speak for #3 on your wishlist but the first 2 items are based on the 2025 schedule. As for every schedule after that, I haven’t gotten there since I restarted to get the real Hyeseong Kim player model.
-
I’d like to see more player models. Especially players who are starters and some more top prospects if possible. Also the option to turn off the HR cam.

I cannot recall the details, but in the course of working stadiums, someone discovered that there is something in the code that always has a domed or retractable roof stadium play in actual daylight sunny conditions. It seems there is therefore an option in stadium creation that turns off inclement weather.
Among the dozens of things already enabled in the code, this option to configure weather is just one more that SDS deliberately turned off in Stadium Creator. Must not allow those customers the option to configure stadiums so that they play out realistically!
What is the theme that unites all of these elements? Customer control of the game environment, and in areas that are not the online competition mode, where a logical argument could be made to restrict such options. But, in all the other modes, there are no logical arguments. It is merely SDS leadership selling a product where they go out of their way to keep customers from playing it in ways they would like to.
