Can’t play any mode. Either merely can’t get into a game, or it’s an invalid roster as I “don’t have my bench filled.”

Do you even test your patches before releasing?

I believe in being patient and respectful to people. That said, this is inexcusable from SDS. Businesses must take accountability for their products—and when one is faulty—they need to make this right.

What a joke.

FIX YOUR GAME!

This is the last purchase many of us will be making. We’ve been fleeced for the final time.

And that XP cap excuse is sad. Tell the truth. It’s all about micro transactions, and making money. You want to hold everyone back from completion and good cards, so you can use those cards for maybe a week or two, just to start over and bring a limited number over as Wild Cards… because you want people to purchase all your packs for slightly better players in each phase—allowing one to be a little better than other online opponents.

We all aren’t stupid, SDS.

Begging for options of both cacti and Canadian flags.

It’s not that hard, plus:

1- We even have something called the Cactus League (in Spring Training)—yet no flora. The Show offers Western themed props and scenery, but no cacti?!

2- They may be playing very poorly, but there IS a Canadian team in MLB! You can’t have a flag of a club and nation that’s part of the league? That’s just silly.

To The Show developers: We love this game, and that is why we are so passionate in our community interactions.

So such the case, and with all due respect...

You have provided a lot of details so far for the upcoming 24 edition of the game--and thank you! You covered RTTS, Franchise, Negro Leagues Season 2, women being added (and great with that), as well as other features. Next week, you will cover Diamond Dynasty.

However, you added Stadium Creator to the game in 2021. Nevertheless, there has been very little regarding updates since then. Yes, a smattering of new props--and THANKFULLY now standing fans, which we hope those "people" can move (this being a HUGE addition, in terms of creativity).

Other than that, we receive little new information. New templates don't carry much value at all to true creative SC designers who want to regularly envision ballparks from scratch. There are 10's of thousands of unique venues created, proving the huge popularity of this feature--but little improvement made, nor news communicated to our community.

You provide previews--in depth--pretty much for every other mode of this game prior to each season, but why is this element largely neglected, even with its immense demand?

In the most kind way, SDS crew, can you please tell us--other than standing fans--will there be other updates to SC? Will bullpens have templates beyond the outfield walls? Will we have seating at benches, tables, and posh seating that include fans in those props? Can fans interact with the other props you've created? Will we be able to put signs on walls? Will you add CACTUS to palm tree offerings--especially as we have a Spring Training circuit specifically known as the Cactus League? Will we actually get CANADIAN flags (as well as other nations) as an option, considering we have an MLB team in Toronto? Can we get other types of lettering fonts that have numerical options to employ for wall distances (or otherwise)--and further, with at least your best neon font--can we have options in different colors?

This is all said because we LOVE the game. We LOVE this mode of SC. We ask, because we enjoy creating--and want to make these fantasies become reality in our homes. That is what video games are all about, fantasy and escape.

Can you please kindly fully inform your loyal customers as to those features and updates--as you do for all other aspects of your game? Please, don't leave us out.

Thank you, SDS for hopefully reading this post, and replying to the many who are excited for 2024, and the mode of SC.

Unfortunately, I cannot get any stadium to upload either--after days.

Edited just a few of my 2023 parks to add standing fans, and a few other things. Get nothing for an upload. Not showing up hours later, or even days now. This was my entire reason for getting 2024.

Strikeout meter prop not functioning. Stadiums, "on their own," changing or missing props that were created in 2023 to wherever the computer randomly re-positions them.

Also, we have to restart the game from scratch every time after playing a moment, or you lose your uniform design for a game following. Further, the logos of your team often show up as a generic provided by The Show.

Getting one-quarter the XP rewarded from 2023--and even less than 2022.

Teams playing at Hall of Fame levels on Rookie... and my saying this as I can win regularly on Legend vs. the CPU. Not to mention Rockies starters pinpointing on their location--when you do get a strike--instead of the 75 percent balls thrown.

This has been truly a dreadful experience in every way so far.

Myself, @Sarge1387 , as well as others attempting to provide constructive and thoughtful SC critiques and asks from SDS, but no response at all... even with the SDS Forum Supervisors asking for our feedback. We have been beyond nice and respectful with our problems, and they are truly going ignored.

Can you PLEASE respond to our concerns.? Can you PLEASE fix Stadiums not uploading? Can you please fix your game?

I LOVE THIS GAME! I play A LOT! For me to be this disgruntled, as are many of your die hard players--simply--that's not good SDS.

The actual 1980s version of Comiskey Park is a must!

If they can have two versions of other parks, they certainly can do the same with Comiskey.

Minor in relation to SC not working, and the major things we’ve been asking for years, but:

1- Cactus Options
2- Canadian Flag Options
3- More Cars, Busses, etc that are able to be placed individually—especially modern day types.
4-Fences that can once again be “chained” next to each other like it used to be—and an option to have all chain fence
5-Glass outfield wall option (like was in Atlanta Fulton County Stadium in the 1970s and 1980s)
6-Pre-set seating where fans are sitting at tables, benches, posh seating, fan decks and similar props. Currently, the “empty” seating props are usable by having standing fans nearby, but would be even better if they could have such items with fans sitting there already.
7-Concourse pieces (and props) that don’t “pixelize ” when put on top of each other.

Thank you!

@Victor_SDS

Have a bigger question coming out of that Custom Stadium question… Will saved stadiums be allowed to carry over from 23 to 24? (As they were not from 22 to 23)? Also, will there be new Stadium Creator features like standing fans, and fans that interact with props—like sitting at the many table, bench, and similar prop options?

Thank you for the help!

And they also don’t have any cactus options, either.

Tons of palm trees, however.

@dap1234567890 All good! Just trying to help.

Along with all said, allowing a third jersey/uniform design option for teams would be great!

Additionally, a pregame screen prompting you the ability to select any of your Home/Road/Alternate combinations would be welcomed—so as not to be “stuck” with the pre-assigned option—which is typically designed for Home/Road at current.

Most MLB teams have up to 5 routine options presently. Can we please kindly have at least 3??

@xxfrystealerxx Totally agree!!

The XP path is at least achievable. The season one reward players are even more challenging—unless you are spending money.

I play the game a lot, and if I get one of Mays, Brett, or Paige, I’ll be lucky.

Sure such is similar for most of you as well.

Great job that the crew doesn’t have their stuff together already with the awards program. About 20 k’s in a game with all core RP, and credit for none.

Keep up the good work, SDS!

It’s not often discussed, but there seems a reason why BR has a fee. Free online modes such as Ranked and Events have frequent players quitting under any circumstances they choose, without consequence.

Yes, some certainly do in BR—and the most prolific are dashboarders there, who rage quit (of course). That said, the 1500 cost is at least somewhat tied into holding players into a game, because they are investing stubs to play a mode—that for most of us—is completed based upon stat goals set each BR season.

No, I don’t love the 1500 stub fee. Think, if they’re charging, maybe 500 is more appropriate, in creating an “investment” without hurting a player choosing to play. Regardless, I’ve made a mental note for myself to track what goes in—stub-wise to play BR—versus what you get out in rewards, and it seems that very most often I’ve come out at least even to varying degrees ahead upon completing that program. Also, mysteriously (though really not), regular The Show packs present more diamonds when earned in that mode—along with the 13 cards gained by playing, and going towards collection numbers.

So don’t love the fee, like most of you—but get why they do it… to at least use that in hoping people don’t quit and walk away from the 1500 stub investment.

Can we address the reality that people articulate in present day which often ignore facts, and realize that Santana is NOT in the Hall of Fame?

He was a great pitcher, but didn’t even come close in the slightest to enshrinement.

Well, SDS tried to fix a bug about custom unifoms on DD.

All they did was create a new bug.

Anyone else having their uniforms present like the game's MLB Batting Practice jerseys--where there is no name and number on the back--but instead, the number on the front and left sleeve? This is even with going to check and see that the uniforms are still correct on our "Home Customization Page."

SDS... hope you might fix this, please?

@MarioMendoza935_XBL Fair point, and agree on that.

Maybe they shouldn’t allow anyone warming from either team until facing the first three batters of every game? (Means a need for each to complete this requirement before that team can warm a reliever)

Just looking for a solution that is fair, but still a need to pay attention/be strategic with the pen.
