Anything new this year???
-
Nope, and you can’t use ur created stadium in ranked DD because lagraus people or whatever it is called ruined it.

@Suel-21_PSN if they did add anything, do you think it would have been anything useful?

@Suel-21_PSN unfortunately- no. They seemed to completely ignore the mode this year, sadly. We get the perfunctory "it'll be passed along to the team" from JoeK every so often, but that's about it.
Suggestions for (very obvious) crucial and integral upgrades and updates to the mode have largely been dismissed leaving creators feeling extremely unheard. Things like begging them to NOT nerf the foul ground wall movement and instead build on it so we could use the space, only to have them kick us in the junk and "fix" it (which by the way failed entirely because the exploiting stadiums were still in use)
At this stage, they're likely putting the work into 26, so anything this year is out of the question UNLESS, they decide to try stuff in 25 to see if it will work for 26

This was a terrible year for the game overall. Stadium Creator was broken for months, they added nothing new to it, and gameplay in general is getting worse. I've already checked out for this year and usually play the game until the next release. I'm not buying it next year unless the game engine is completely overhauled. It's so stale after all these years.

Folks, SDS did vastly worse than providing "nothing new" for Stadium Creator, which of course is correct -- they did not.
They maliciously tried to take something we've been wanting to have out of the game months after it was unlocked so that we could do it -- the option to amend the baseline/backstop wall panel positions. Worse, they did it in a way that left wide open the equally malicious option for malcontents to abuse it to create stadiums designed to destroy online games.
It's hard to document something worse than all that, but we can.
In doing their thing, SDS deliberately ignored the pathway suggested to them -- a pathway that would have preserved the increased freedom we customers wanted, while firmly preventing malicious abuse of stadiums to harm online game play.
The appearance is that SDS actually wanted the chaos in online play so they could leverage it for some hidden agenda. Moreover, the wholesale lack of honest communication that has since invested this sub-forum confirms that SDS isn't the least interested in what we desire, and couldn't care less if we all just disappeared and left them alone to do what they desire to do.

With all the glitches and stuff that happened this year, my fear is that stadium creator won't be in the game next year. I've had a lot of fun in the past making videos about stadiums people create, but I've completely lost motivation now with nothing new happening.

That's a legitimate concern, and I have little doubt there are many at SDS who want all the customer-content control options removed: stadium creator, logo creator, and uniform creator. All due to the reasons I stated previously.

I used to upload and show off my creations in the reddit mlbtheshowstadiums page at least twice a week. I've barely done anything with it this year because we're officially at the point with the creator where it's all been done now, the lack of any really useful props or modernized templates really beginning the hinder the mode.
I think what SDS has done (more accurately, not done) with the stadium creator has borderlines on deliberate obsolescence.

I was prepared to not develop any new stadiums with MLB 25 for the exact reasons you provided, until the option to move the baseline walls finally emerged. Then, a pent up energy was unleashed and suddenly some really nice creative options were unleashed.
SDS could have built on that by finally listening to us and made a few updates to really open that emerged option up, such as your input over the years to treat the walls like guillotines that slice off props where they would encroach into the field of play.
If that simple upgrade had been implemented, along with the ones we suggested to them six months back to prevent abuse of the option, then some really nice looking stadiums would be in the vault and none of the malicious ones that were put on the vault.
But, again, I think SDS wanted the malicious stadiums in the vault so they can say it just isn't worth it. With a company run like SDS, it's impossible to be too cynical as they keep raising the bar.

Another update, another update missing anything for stadium creator. Something's up because they are dripfeeding stuff through tiny updates, which is giving the impression that had NOTHING prepared for the game outside of programs.
