We need Ebbets Field in the game.

I would like to see Ebbets Field in the game
.
We have Jackie Robinson in the game but he has no field to play on. Let's do this. -
I did Ebbets Field for MLB 25. It even customized the layout to precisely match the real Ebbets Field. About the only compromise was due to being forced to have a batters eye in center when the real field did not feature one.

I've come to the conclusion of yet another need for the creator...Batter's eyes need to be moved back or fully moveable.
We also desperately need 90 degree corner seating pieces, and smaller seating blocks. The full field level ones are WAY too big

Yep, and we've only made that simple suggestion to SDS about five hundred times, right Sarge!

five hundred times
At least- the Creator community is actually quite large and they've largely been echoing the same sentiment
-
They will never allow moving/altering of the batter's eye unless it's offline-only, just like the walls.
Even then, probably too much work. The one guy they have working on SC is too busy looking for 'features' that no one will ever use. We need more damaged buildings.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL Calm down, Yellowstone won't erupt if they don't add Ebbets Field into the show.

That's precisely why our suggestions on that front come with the expressed agreement that such modifications to the basic layout would render the stadium restricted to offline play. Heck, I have even told SDS that it would be acceptable to restrict such modified stadiums to Franchise, RTTS, and Exhibitions. Just extend the already existing code that invokes whenever an outfield wall panel is modified from its default.
You move any wall panel, even a millimeter -- BANG! Offline modes only
Move the batters eye from its default location -- BANG!
Put a stadium light, or light based prop in the view of the batter -- BANG!
Hang a prop above the wall that clips into the field of play (like old Detroit's outfield upper deck) -- BANG!
Just vice the current prohibition in place, BANG just means the stadium is given the red bat splat symbol and thereby cannot be played in DD mode. BTW: That last item I listed would allow us designers to partially bury a stand prop and still be able to nudge the visible part right up against the wall panels. Suddenly we have stand props with upright seating that can easily be rendered to support a college or minor league stadium setup.

This is the one that really burns my bacon.
Either let us put lights up everywhere or make the lights that are available actually work. 95% of the lights point straight down.
There's nothing like making a really awesome looking outfield and having it shrouded in darkness because the lights won't reach and/or you can't aim lights in that direction because of the 'batter's eye'.
