Bullpens, overmodeling and more
-
@sds_joek_psn Please please take this list to the team, I know you're doing what you can here.
1- Bullpens off the field- I know this one has been repeated ad nauseam, but for valid reasons. If not fully movable, three to four "placements" shouldn't be difficult to add.
2- Over-modeling- Almost every single prop with odd shapes has an extremely over-modeled footprint, creating unusable space OR triggering the "props cannot be placed on the field" error...in error.
3- Fence over-modeling- Same thing as the over-modeled props, we love that there's a ton of templates...but they create tons and tons of unusable space because no matter what, the foot print of the stadium stays the same
4-Batter's Eye- Same as above. Making them like any other prop would allow us to create seamless designs. Comerica, Minnie, old Texas, Philly, Anaheim, Chicago all come to mind. Take the extra time to make their footprint their actual shape, and watch the magic happen with the talented creators.
5- Foul Territory- If not full usability, then five or six templates. Even the pre-fabbed ones like Shippet, AAP, Laughing Mountain, and the Porch...provide us those templates to choose from.
Look at things like this- graphic quality not withstanding- from EA's MVP 05/06
The second image is apparently a user created ballpark. Look at the Ivy, the HR stripe, the brick of the walls, how close the shrubs of the eye are to the wall, the distances etc. Simple things like this are entirely possible. And ivy covered wall option, for example should be no issue since the code already exists for Wrigley.
Heck, even Operation Sports called SDS out last year for what the Creator needs.

@sds_joek_psn look at this

Thanks, @Sarge1387_PSN -- I'll share this with the team.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN Thanks buddy, appreciate the response.

I hate how bullpens are on the field, I feel like that's why so much more foul balls get caught.

Let's boil this down to an even simpler concept. All the things we have asked to be added over the last several years, by being ignored, are unquestionably an unforced error that has hurt the game mode. But, what about SDS just fixing the bugs they caused in the release of MLB 25?
The wall prop bug is still present. You cannot line up the wall windows no matter how much tweaking one does. The wall windows were not perfect in MLB 23 and 24, but were far better. One could line up multiple wall windows in a row and even stack rows vertically on top of each other. This was a method allowing designers to replicate outfield and infield walls with scoreboard and ads seemingly affixed to them.
But, when MLB 25 was released, the community quickly learned that this stacking and lining up was made impossible. Now, the blue windows' code was never ideal, but at least the green windows worked reasonably well. In MLB 25, both got equally goofed up.
Dozens of bug reports from well intentioned people, and it was still never fixed.
Same story with the abysmal loss of seat colors during a game, and the poor hue matching with custom uniform numbers and last names on the back of the jerseys.
