Stadium Creator & Game Review
-
In expressing my sentiments about MLB The Show, a franchise I hold in high regard, I find myself navigating a nuanced landscape of admiration and anticipation. Last year's installment left an indelible mark, a testament to its excellence. Yet, in the pursuit of improvement, one encounters a formidable challenge: how does one elevate an experience already deemed exceptional?
The allure of nostalgia, embodied in the early '90s graphics, tugs at the strings of sentimentality, evoking memories of my high school graduation era. However, within the context of gameplay, this aesthetic choice occasionally proves to be a minor hindrance to seamless navigation—an inconvenience I'm willing to endure.
Year after year, the promise of the stadium creator ignites my anticipation, yet this time, my expectations were met with a sobering reality. Despite the glossy advertising campaigns heralding its slick new appearance, my perusal of the feature left me with a distinct sense of déjà vu.
Many within the community showcase their ingenuity through YouTube channels dedicated to the intricacies of stadium design, may find themselves lamenting the apparent stagnation of the toolbox at our disposal. The absence of innovative additions leaves the landscape unchanged, a missed opportunity in an otherwise flawless panorama.
The introduction of women into the game is a commendable step forward, a celebration of diversity and inclusion within the realm of virtual sports. It stands as a testament to MLB The Show's commitment to championing human rights and equality—a sentiment I wholeheartedly endorse.
Yet, despite these commendable strides, I cannot shake the feeling of disappointment that washes over me as I engage with the latest iteration. It's as if I'm playing the same game, merely dressed in different attire—a realization that weighs heavily on my enthusiasm.
However, amidst my critique, I must acknowledge the enduring charm of the game's soundtracks, which have long been cherished as they echo through the halls of our homes. While familiar tunes make a return this year, one can't help but ponder whether this repetition serves as a comforting embrace or a missed opportunity for fresh auditory experiences.

Well articulated, and well said. I don't know why they can't jut simply add certain field dimension templates...even if it's just the minor league stadium templates just so we have different actual field layouts and bullpen placement. I've contacted a couple SDS forum mods here just asking to pass this request on, only to be met with silence. Pretty frustrating tbh.
