Two things I want to see in MLB 26:
-
Bring back Sounds of the Show. The feature where you could bring in your own music to use in the game. Do it like y'all did on the previous generation consoles (for example the PS4) where you could assign your own imported songs to a team to play during homeruns, big hits, scored runs, in-between innings, and when the team wins.

Stadium Creator. I want it not only fixed; but I also want it given a respectable update. Stadium Creator, in my opinion, was intentionally neglected in this year's edition of the game which resulted in tons of bugs and issues we didn't have in MLB 24. Also this year, we got no new props to use in creating stadiums. I sounded off about this at the beginning of the season, and I'm banging the pots and pans again now as we're five months away from MLB 26 coming out. This is what I want to see out of Stadium Creator going forward:
-1. Bullpens need to leave the surface of the field. No ballpark in baseball except for the Trop has bullpens on the field. I want the option to have bullpens beyond the outfield fence.
-2. The option to create a domed and/or retractable roofed ballpark needs to be there. The tool has been around for five years now, it's way past time for that ability to be available.
-3. Signage, wall markers, and LED boards on the outfield walls. Again, everyone in the stadium creator community, including myself, are getting tired of looking at the blank walls. We want better outfield wall customization options.
-4. We need more memory. And the capacity limit needs to be done away with too. That's unrealistic and everyone's stadium capacity varies. Do away with the capacity limit and give us more memory to work with.
-5. A completely revamped prop menu. There are 30 active ballparks in baseball and several former ballparks in the game that can be picked from. There should be stuff from every ballpark that exists in the game in that props menu. I'm referring to: light towers; scoreboards; flags; billboards; even the stands (which I'll get to in a minute). I should have at least 40 different scoreboard options and at least 40 different light tower variations to work with from each ballpark in the game.
-6. We need more realistic seating decks. Look around at each stadium in the game. There's not a lot of seating in the outfield. We need more realistically-sized seating deck options.
-7. The outfield wall dimensions and the ominous red line of doom known as the "prop too close to the field" message. Target Field has a deck that hovers over the playing field surface. Police it to a limit or set a certain distance a prop can overhang onto the field and let us have props/decks hanging over the field of play. Same goes with the field dimensions themselves. Quit punishing us for customizing the outfield wall height and distances manually by making it ineligible for online play.
My solution, set a minimum and maximum distance you can move the wall to and allow that created ballpark with manually set dimensions to be eligible for online play.
Whether this is achieved right off the bat, or through a series of updates throughout the season, I would like to see these two things addressed and made better in MLB 26.

I've been pitching that for three years, brother. All it got me was kicked in the berries.
I agree with every point you made. There's some weird, outright nonsensical restrictions they implemented that really crippled the mode.

It's nice to see another person ringing the bell! I doubt SDS is going to do any of those things because I'm convinced that SDS management doesn't care one iota about Stadium Creator, Custom Uniforms, or Custom Logos. The SOLE area in which there is any concern at all is how all three support what they now consider their bread and butter (read post sale monetary source) Diamond Dynasty game mode.
Now that SC has been removed from use within DD mode, it would actually surprise me to see SC in MLB The Show 26, and if I am shocked in that regard, then I won't be shocked to see it merely there "as is," devoid of any improvements or upgrades.

None of that is happening. There's a reason they put the CAS thread together with the CAU thread. Nothing change or added with create your own uniform, nothing will change with create your own stadium. This is what we have to deal with until hopefully, but I doubt it, this game gets a PC release and modders can work their magic.

Agreed with Rangerman 100% And there are other fixes that are needed for us that enhances the experience for all of the modes when these areas are addressed.

For created uniforms, there is an item that needs fixing which is an eyesore. Player names and numbers need the 'Screen' option that is available for team logos/brands.
With the player names and numbers not having that option, in evening and night games, the colors of the names and numbers don't match the rest of the uniform. It's so off that it gives the uniform a look like a poorly constructed uniform from a bootleg fly-by-night uniform company that sold the team their errors on a discount. It disrupts some of the immersion for users in the game. Please fix this.

Myself and dozens of other customers have spent three years constantly sending SDS that exact same bug report. Totally ignored over three years now! My cynical view of SDS came as a result of overt facts, folks! My normal personality is to give people every chance in the world to meet standards. I've given SDS every reasonable chance.
