Again, compare with 2K Sports golf title PGA Tour and its excellent course creator mode. In that mode, well over half the props are scalable, with the exceptions being buildings. But, natural props like trees are scalable. All props can be adjusted in all three axis: rotation, elevation, pitch. Imagine for a moment what such a simple approach would mean within Stadium Creator?

Need to implement a gradual slope of terrain? No problem! You just lay down the hill, and the other props like roads can pitch to match the elevation grade.

That reality is so apparent, that failure to implement the option to amend props is all three axis of movement doesn't represent an oversight. It represents a deliberate angle to ensure what the customers create is stymied relative to what the SDS team can put in the game.

And trust this truth ... compared to the serious bugs and wonky menus, plus decades old graphics levels, the lack of "competition" with stadium quality is the least of SDS's worries, or at least ought to be the least of their concerns!

And that folks is why SDS's biggest issue isn't budget, but crappy leadership!
