    Why would you want to make a dome stadium? Every single one is ugly

    Why don't they let us control foul territory? Or snap to batter's eyes? Or place lights near the eye? (despite multiple real stadiums having lights positioned that way) Why don't they let us place the bullpens?

    These are all questions that have been asked multiple times of SDS over five years and have largely been totally ignored/completely dismissed by the community engagement guys outside of the canned "we'll pass this is on" response that leads nowhere.

    For those few here who think I'm unfair with SDS, this is another case where I deliberately delayed reply to this very understandable question until I gave SDS plenty of time to form a reply.

    I'm not in the least surprised this question was ignored.

    Why it was ignored is the same reason why all these many things (domes included) have been asked for and ignored for as Sarge rightly wrote for over five years now.

    They are ignored because SDS deliberately wants Stadium Creator to be a severely degraded game mode. SDS does not want the community creating stadiums that look as natural and realistic as the stadiums they as a company create.

    To go deeper and try to explain why SDS would be motivated to do this, that requires we read the minds of corporate executives who jealously guard their plans, actions, and motivations.

    Fortunately, most corporations are not run this way. Imagine if you will, that DuPont paint was made available only for the auto makers, but if you wanted to repaint your car you were forced to purchase degraded paint. Of course, that isn't the case at all. If anything, you can purchase paint even better than what the makers use and repaint your car as you wish.

    But, for SDS, as it is with a lot of video game companies, they are run by people who value control over all other considerations. In my view, it's emblematic of people who grew up behind office cubicle walls for too many hours and suffer from not getting out more and interacting with people enough in real life.

    All the customer content control game modes are mail-in budget basics, and all have gone years without any upgrades to speak of. One of the most popular options was Sounds of the Game, and that option was ripped out of the game entirely. You have to admit, a company that doesn't even want its customers to choose what songs play during the games is a company with it's eye firmly planted on control over customer happiness.

    Given recent events, in a month of so this thread will be locked so that it atrophies out of existence. My guess is Stadium Creator won't even be a part of future MLB The Show releases.

    SDS won't let you create domed stadiums (nor retractable roof stadiums) because they want you to play their stadiums, and consider their game to belong to them and you just pay for the privilege to play their game as they tell you it will be played. You color in the lines they establish and if you dare go outside the lines, then you'll see SDS intervene to make those lines impossible to exceed.
