2 things for 26 and future releases
-
This will be the first time in years I will not pre order The Show since I want to see if there’s these changes first. Short and to the point, 2 expectations to at least keep me as a customer and others feeling the same:
-
Stadium creator like 24 with more props:
At least get it functioning the way it was in 24 with the names matching the save slots and add more props already in the game from other stadiums. That’s been done before. My lowest expectation is to still be able to use created stadiums offline. -
Bring back player rights and while adding more:
The new legends are fantastic but the past few year too many legends have been leaving the game. Keep the legend rights in the game while adding more. NBA 2K has set the bar for sports gaming for the amount of retired players that could be in the game.

These changes will be announced (if so) during the pre-order tenure, so you most likely won't have to wait. They're already releasing information about the new game and it's only November. -

SDS seems to bury their heads in the sand when it comes to that mode as it's treated like the red-headed stepchild. Given the lack of fresh improvements for 25, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was removed.
But I'll re-iterate my list for SC
1- Movable bullpens. No reason, no valid reason whatsoever this isn't a thing.
2- Change "online eligible" requirements on fences to min-max distances instead of "you move it a fraction of an inch you can't use it". If you want to keep those restrictions for Online Ranked, so be it..but at least let us use them in DD games vs CPU. Give us some freedom of creativity, 99.9999999% of creators want to create cool/realistic/usable stadiums online.
3- Either give us customizable foul ground...OR give us foul ground templates. The jewelbox design hasn't been around for decades
4- Use the walls as the hard trim point, this would allow us to make seamless stadiums without encroaching on the field
5- Let us attach stuff to the batter eyes, please let us eliminate the ugly unusable space.

There are known capabilities in Stadium Creator that SDS has worked hard to lock out and keep customers from using. I suspect SC is what SDS uses to create their own stadiums, but it is a version where none of the development options are locked out, and it integrates an actual 3D modeler that allows their stadium designers to create their own props and use.
Giving the customers a fully enabled SC would be the easiest thing in the world for SDS to accomplish. But, I am convinced they will never do it.
