Created Stadiums Temporarily Disabled in H2H Games
-
@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.

It's funny how SDS announced the Created Stadiums thing before summer started and it's only taken effect in the last couple weeks. -
SDS could have created a thread overtly named, "We don't care!" and done far less self-inflicted public relations damage with their customers than this thread has already caused.
This thread was created over six months ago! Over that half year's time, no one at SDS has returned to it to provide any updates. The title of the thread used the words "Temporarily Disabled" and yet again, six months later we are never informed of a fix, much less any update.
The entire life cycle of an MLB The Show release is the span of a single baseball season. From the time conceptualization of the next year's title is started therein is the end of title support for the current year's release. So, we are already at that point now. MLB 25 is no longer receiving software update support.
What does this say about a video game company that they think a bug is so important that it merits a sticky thread to explain the bug and why it caused a game mode to be disabled, and yet six months later there is no update, no additional explanation, and most importantly no correction to the bug? Common sense people conclude that it indicates sloppiness at best, or incompetence, but worst of all it may well represent the truth that SDS harbors outright malice toward their paying customers.
SDS has received numerous requests for update to the status, some right here in this very sticky thread. Not a peep! Customers have started additional threads on the same subject about the status of the use of custom stadiums in online play modes, all ignored. The customers have been forced to guess as to the status, with play options reappearing and then disappearing all without any SDS comment, explanation, or provided timeline.
Even when someone such as myself openly challenges the professionalism of SDS, that comment likewise is ignored. Whistling past the graveyard isn't the formula for corporate success in a free market. SDS has forgotten what customer service looks like.

They should study England during the Age of Enlightenment, when public opinion forced a response to many decisions or statements. Maybe they can take a few notes.
