PC is the only way this feature gets changed and fixed.

People keep saying all kinds of stuff on what needs to be added and changed. Only if this game is on PC.
Until that time comes, this is what we well have.

So it’s good?

No, we do not need this game on PC!

This game will never be on PC. The main reason is that any game written for PC's suffers from a myriad of setups where the game works great on 100 types of units, but the company still gets flooded with bug reports from other PC owners who have different setups.
Too many variables, too little commonality, and thereby too much headache. The entire console program was developed primarily to create a far more common platform for video game companies to code for.
The actual option would be a violation of the TOS to own the consoles, which directly prohibits reverse engineering of console and video game products. It would require a PC version of Stadium Creator that creates a file that could somehow be placed into someone's local 30 slots for stadiums and then uploaded to the vault.
But, I seriously doubt that such an effort could be done as it would require access to SDS's source code for MLB The Show and that is NEVER going to happen and if someone did gain that access, then SDS is going to launch its legal team to work with the county DA in San Diego to pursue criminal charges.

You should apply to work at SDS as a programmer so you can sit in on the strategy meetings and convince them of the benefits of expanding this game to another core group.
Your main wall besides cheating (modding is not always beneficial to the masses) is going to be compatibility. Look at all the problems people have with the game on systems that are configuration controlled. If the game were opened to PCs and the millions of possible system configurations, imagine the many more headaches the programmers would have.

@Blind_Bleeder_PSN It's quicker to just call the idea dumb and move along.
-
So it's never happening.
Got it!

@theBlindRhino_PSN never said it was right or wrong, just said that's the only way this mode gets fixed. It's comes to PC and people start moding it. But go head with your little sarcastic barbs about applying for work at SDS for stating the obvious. Your turn now, go. Can't wait to see what witty and sarcastic barbs you have in the chamber.

@dap1234567890_PSN never said we need it on PC. Only said that the only way this mode gets fixed. Through a modding type community. SES is never going to change this mode. they never changed logo or uniform creater.
-
@PriorFir4383355_XBL everything you're saying isn't wrong....I know it will never come to PC. All I'm saying is that this game being on PC would be the only way things we've asked for would be able to get down through modding. SDS isnt changing anything with this mode. This is pretty much it.

Bethesda had it right…for the longest time with FO4 they fought the modders tooth and nail from being allowed to use them on console…eventually they gave in and it’s awesome now, even ten years after release because they embraced the mods

I certainly agree with the truth that SDS isn't going to upgrade SC. They've had four years of constant, accurate, fair, and professionally worded feedback to do it with.
The only chance it changes is a wholesale change of senior management at SDS, with a new senior leadership team that values what customer-based customer created content can do to keep a game title vibrant longer.
This philosophy isn't alien to the entire video game genre either, it just seems alien to the suits running SDS at this time. There are a lot of video game titles out there with robust options for customers to customize their version of the game.
Think of this for SDS ...
The custom uniform, logo, and stadium options are finally upgraded the way reasonable customers have been asking for over four years now. Common sense stuff like patch options on the uniform sleeves in uniforms, the ability to take a logo and scan it and directly upload it into a custom logo file, and the many reasonable changes to SC so we can design stadiums that are realistic. If those were done, there would be nothing preventing a group of customers from pooling their talents and creating a custom league using the existing options and forming a league of teams all the way back to the late 19th century, playing in stadiums that look and function like those first generation ball parks, which were polo fields, fairgrounds, and city parks.
Take it a step later to the 1920's and the first generation of what we'd call the dedicated baseball parks, with outfield walls (or not) some stuff like flagpoles and trees in the outfield that were in play, and the same league is created for the deadball era of baseball. Imagine playing in a few of the truly "modern" parks of that era but still play in a few that had no outfield walls, and the fans stood around in the deep outfield.
Then, another league with realistic stadiums and team uniforms from the 1940's, 50's, etc ...
I bet that would boost initial sales as well as retain vibrant interest in MLB The Show for more than a single year. Then go to a two-year upgrade with yearly changes in modern era uniforms and rosters throughout the season and at the start of the next season.
What makes baseball so unique in sports is how the ballparks can be so varied and by that variety add spice to each game, giving each home team unique home field advantages in how they tailor their rosters and play games. This is why custom uniforms, logos, and stadiums were implemented in the game. Unfortunately, along the way, the suits at SDS focused on other areas and turned away from these three customizable features.

Yeah, but nobody is interested in SC, remember? At least according to some here.

Yes, as that only proves the reality that it's far easier to espouse an opinion than it is to back it up with actual evidence and facts! LOL!!

I literally made a gigantic comment in the other thread with pics for examples of what we're looking for. Aside from grabbing the crayons, I don't know how much more specific I can be for SDS, ya know?
