And you should envision the complaints about Stadium Creator. It's the most neglected game mode in the entire game series, to the extent to which 80% of the stadium creators have already left out of frustration. Even if my alma mater were one of the new colleges added to RTTS, I would not purchase MLB 26. The way SDS corruptly handled SC this year was the Rubicon for myself.

I've played this game since 2008. Every day it comes out. I've always been the first ones to get it online or physical copy. I really really hope they can improve stadium Creator. Granted I'm not a streamer. I'm just an average Joe who plays about 10 or 12 games a day diamond dynasty. I just wish that loyal customers like myself, you know could get something appreciation or just some recognition I don't know. Maybe it's me but you know replace so much and so hard. Really got nothing for playing. I wish they could listen to our feedback. More than just a streamer for 2 years. Who has all these fans... I have a massive list of stuff in general that should be updated. You know commentary. I wish they could include commentary guest commentary like NBA 2K you know have players speak players of the week minorly call ups rookies have them provide commentary on the road to the show. Just the stuff in general. More a good story for commentary or not just the same lines

As there should be, let's not pretend there isn't a fairly large portion of the player base that does enjoy using it to some degree... It's one of the most ignored and neglected features in game.
It definitely needs some more polish and shine through updating.

So, if youre not buying 26 does that also mean you wont come onto the forums making numerous complaint post next year?
If so, thats already a win in my books.

Not trying to instigate an argument here, but why does it matter? 99% of the posts made about SC were posted in the SC portion of the forum...so just avoid that section then?
Same reason I agree that RTTS and Franchise need work, but don't enter those sections because it's the same complaints year after year. @PriorFir4383355_XBL 's a good dude, and brings up valid points and suggestions.
And I get it, seeing it over and over again gets tiresome(see above about Franchise and RTTS)...but you don't need to try to $hit on him like that.

He has every right to complain about Stadium Creator. The communication was a joke, and that's putting it nicely. The fact that bugs and visual destabilization on created stadiums still happen is inexcusable, and the fact that it wasn't even addressed shows that this community is taken for granted by executives at SDS/Sony, no matter how much spin they try to give us.
It's a bad omen, and everyone should be concerned about DD, Franchise, Road to the Show, and Ranked moving forward with these games, especially after EA sold out to the highest bidder.

@Sarge1387_PSN I loved Sam Creator because it's very easy to use. I made old parks and high schools I played at before in real life. I put it into the game. They still come out amazing and almost to exact detail. It just sucks that it's been down since May with no word of if it's going to come back up or not this year. I hope it gets fixed. I hope it's more templates to use, but still it's just nice to put in places you played at before in real life into a video game

Appreciate the support folks, but that guy is a troll who I blocked long ago because of how he acts.
