Created Stadiums Temporarily Disabled in H2H Games
-
I have been able to play in my stadium in Events today.
-
@SpcGarza_PSN I make parks that play at MLB elevation like Philly and New York and have no issue playing online in them. The games are fair and not always slugfests and it’s fun. I only pick CS and I hope to ply in someone else’s when I’m on the road because I like seeing what people do. It’s literally a home field advantage to know your park.

@SpcGarza_PSN my created stadiums are normalish , i had the same attitude as you in those type of created stadiums, but i rarely face those type of players and also you can take advantage of their [censored] little stadium
-
I couldn't even play with created stadiums online because for me it didn't work so whatever this fixed it didn't affect me.
-
I can’t even use created stadiums offline. Does anyone know why?
-
If it's disabled, Joe K, then why are streamers still using them online?
-
Also a lie, I'm currently using one an online play rn. No disablement for me.
-
It's july - still no fix?

I wanted to give SDS a chance to directly reply to your question. Afterall, they started this pinned thread, which remains the only pinned thread in the entire community forum. So, it ought to be real easy for anyone on the SDS staff to keep track of new contributions.
But, two work days have gone by and no reply.
In Update #17 SDS said in the Stadiums sub-forum that they had to try to eliminate the ability to move the baseline walls due to concerns over impact in online gaming. This implies that custom stadiums are back on the menu for online DD play. But, one would figure that such a return to status would have been confirmed long ago in this thread. Update #17 was released three weeks ago.
More to the point, it absolutely should not take two and a half months to fix a bug in the code. If something was working before, it should certainly be fixable in over ten weeks.

The wholesale failure of SDS to use this community forum is glaringly obvious. I hope SDS is paying attention to something else that is glaringly obvious. There has been a significant downturn in forum participation in just the last few months.
The other point is that most of that reduced participation is from people who have not been long term participants. What does all that say?
It says that SDS has lost its credibility with a large share of its customer base. Failure to properly support the title. This includes zero follow up to this pinned thread created by the SDS staff, with many customers left confused by the lack of information. This shows lack of care and lack of customer service focus.
It seems the custom stadiums were taken down from online use a few weeks ago, but this is a guess based on customer feedback at this community forum and also at Reddit. But, this should not be something customers are forced to guess about. It should be something that SDS clearly announced.
Fair minded people are left with no other rational choice except to conclude that SDS doesn't care about customer service. If they did, then things like this unresolved bug in head-to-head play would have been fixed and this pinned thread updated to show that fix.
But, add this to the list of other bugs introduced in MLB 25 that have never been fixed, and others that have persisted for years. The only trend we have seen with Stadium Creator is that when the customers dared to stray outside the controls that SDS put in place, that was quickly patched, but not in a way that prevented nefarious people from abusing the customers with deliberately degraded stadiums.
Well run companies don't do stuff like this. And companies run in ways that do these things don't stay in business long.
