@Sarge1387_PSN I hear you! I’m big into creating too… I’m just very low key about it.

I got the game this year around Thanksgiving at a huge discount exactly because of all the complaints I kept reading about all season. So I’ve maybe done three new ones so far myself.

Other times, I will adapt some great creations from the community, and edit them a little for my preferences.

In 23 and 24, I created a ton. It gets so frustrating because of all the problems and restrictions that we’ve all been enduring—and are well-documented—for years.

After a while, you just give up and do something else with your free time, as that is our biggest commodity. If we are going to be ignored, why keep coming back for more?

And I say this as loving Stadium Creator and uniform designing as my favorite The Show elements!

It’s so exciting to have your imagination become a reality, and get to actually play in those venues—that when we were kids—we’re unthinkable.

Video games are fantasy and escape. If there is capability to allow that for a customer, and yet to deprive the same?… It’s just a shame.

Only true time they’ve listened was creating standing fans. (And might we please get a single fan option too, at that?)

Other than such, not much has intentionally improved with additions.

Bullpens behind walls, better foul line wall angles and options, better ways to “cut off stands,” improved usage and snapping with objects—especially batter’ eyes, etc?

We can’t even get Canadian flags, different colored neon lettering/more number options for fonts, or cactus props in the game.

Thus, how can we even hope for the bigger, and more important QoL upgrades to core Stadium Creation concepts?

Unfortunately, we can’t hold our breath about anything.

Anger about this eventually does lead to apathy—and often that leads to the worst ultimate outcome… the failure of an entity overall.

I truly hope that’s not the case, as we all have common love for the game of baseball… and deep down want to see these things in The Show.

We LOVE The Show! Again, we LOVE The Show; but when you are constantly let down and feel ignored, what do you expect the consumer or fan to do? Eventually, they don’t care, and/or they leave for something else.

Constant rejection and being ignored is not a recipe for a successful partnership between customer and producer/seller. We get disappointed because we care. Get ignored enough, we won’t care anymore. Many in this forum and topic are reaching that point either now or soon. Video games are an addictive concept—though nevertheless, a company’s thought of fans doing anything for their annual dose eventually does stop for many, regardless how much our brains are wired to come back every year because of that “need,” and/or “fear of missing out.”

Please, SDS—we love your game and baseball. We care about your product. Kindly show that commitment in return. Taking such relationship for granted with customers is endlessly less than ideal.

When you can have 5 uniform creation options with mix-and-match capability in another competing major sports title, and only two uniform sets with no variation options in this game—it shows people clearly what is missing, desired, and yet nevertheless deprived.

And as for hoping things will change… Expectations should be restrained because of past inaction. Yet, it’s in most of us to continue to hope—as that is what all makes us baseball fans. Eventually, it WAS the Cubs year to win the World Series. The White and Red Sox did it too.

Now, we again hope SDS breaks their “drought.” Not counting on it—but we can hope. If fans don’t like what they see, then just don’t “go to the games anymore.”

We’re cheering for you, The Show! Come up with the clutch hit and send everyone home happy!

@littlefire12951_XBL All you need to do is switch your camera angle on the settings. There are lower angles behind the pitcher that will allow to to see what you created behind the backstop and catcher.

Explore the angles you like best, and try them until you find one you like.

As of 2024, I don’t think you can do that anymore by importing.

You’d have to create your likeness (if you have the talent and ability to do so), as would other players in the Player Vault—like former players. Then you can adjust the attributes as you wish.

Don’t think face scans work as you hoped, unfortunately.

And with my above comment, I mean not just the legal stadium creator parks, but even the ones that are varying from the “approved” presets.

Maybe merely ban a park where any of its dimensions violate any realistic standards in terms of wall height or distance, vice a prevention of all being precluded altogether.

SDS creates many red zones already with restrictions. Just do it here as well.

If you are going to prevent stadium creator from head-to-head play, reluctantly—fine.

BUT—with the game cycle nearly over, can you at least remove the restriction from using all these parks in Diamond Dynasty when just playing in an “against the computer” mode?

Many of us play in very realistic parks, with the stadiums being prevented simply because we wanted to customize outfield walls with unique looks—and NOT to juice those locales for grinding. (Not to mention that nearing February, who would care if one did such for stats this late in a cycle… if they so choose?)

Great we can use any stadium in Franchise, but greatly dislike that game start times are dictated to us—for many instances we build a park (and the look of when and how it should play) to a certain time of day and year.

If someone can offer how we can change the start time of a Franchise game, I’d love to know, as I can’t figure that out.

Finally, those playing DD regularly: Many would just love to use their stadiums with the players they spent a lot of time and effort to earn. Again, for this additional reason, please stop preventing this in vs. CPU modes.

Thank you.

Agree, Sarge.

If you’re playing the computer, within common sense reason, it shouldn’t matter at all what we do with the walls.

Can’t use adjusted outfield wall stadiums that vary from pre-sets in DD, regardless if head-to-head, or vs. CPU.

You may use them in offline modes, including Franchise.

If they are sometimes “working” for you in DD, then there is a bug in the game letting you do so.

Co-op didn’t start until 24, so for 21, that mode did not exist.

Very unfortunately, they usually stop supporting an online game version after four seasons.

Online against another opponent? That’s totally understandable.

However, when it comes to DD, where some spend money, and all the time put in grinding otherwise, you lose that all too—which really shouldn’t happen if you’re merely playing the computer.

Therefore, from my best knowledge, you are limited to Franchise, and similar.

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??

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!

@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.

Actually was disappointed they took out having to warm a pitcher up before his entering the game.

Certainly, I understand their choice as to why, in quickening up the game.

That said, if an opponent falls asleep at the wheel, and doesn’t say on top of an ineffective/tired pitcher, than that foe should be exposed to the drawbacks of either having to deal with that pitcher getting battered around until a new reliever is warm (usually two batter wait), or putting in a completely cold pitcher that won’t be as sharp as he would be warmed up.

Cy Young, Harold Baines, J. R. Richard, Hal Newhouser, and Brett Saberhagen—among others—as well.

Another XBox user here. Game is out for me as well.

If you go to the Shop, it shows the odds of getting a Live Series Diamond have fallen from 50/1 down to 8/1.

And even though they haven’t printed it, there are a lot of non-LS Diamonds being awarded as well.

Have a feeling that both the LS and non-LS both “count as LS Diamonds” now.

Would LOVE to have Yogi Berra back!

One of the top clutch players in MLB history!

Great observation!

Crazy, but some stadiums just randomly get juiced, regardless of elevation.

So you very much noticed what is occurring.

Have had the same experience as well!

Think Blue Jays will be Vlad, and or Gausman, as the later hasn’t received a high card yet.
