Can we bring JOE BUCK back as commentator in mlb the show 26?!!

Somebody report this comment to ICE so it'll be deleted /s

But seriously, for the love of God, no.

@sullivanspring_MLBTS said in Five (6) Simple Things to Fix SC:

The ability to edit foul territory would be great along with the ability to move bullpens. I don't mind them being in foul territory but I'd like to shrink the foul territory.

I agree. I, along with a few other creators, have been wondering about the decision to use a jewelbox template (a design not seen for decades) and nothing else. My biggest concern, assuming in 26 we'll actually be able to mess with foul territory, would be that it'll cause the same unusable dead zones that we see with the bizarre fence templates.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN said in Integral SC Additions to 26:

get rid of it completely

Unfortunately, this is one of the right ways. I hate that you're bang on. If you're not going to properly upgrade it or cripple it to the point where you can't do much with it...you're just deliberately sandbagging the mode.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN said in Integral SC Additions to 26:

code it that Created Stadiums are only allowed to be used offline.

I agree with aspects of this. I think they shouldn't be allowed in H2H/Ranked modes, which is 100% fair- they did that for 25. If they've done that, then they need to remove the "online" restrictions of the stadium, and let us build them how we wish (with above mentioned min/max settings) to use in games vs CPU/Mini-Seasons in DD

I know, I know...another post about a mode "nobody cares about"(plethora of evidence to the contrary). But there are several additions to the Creator that need to be made if they wish to continue keeping it viable.

1- If you're not going to provide full playing surface control, then SDS you should be providing 10 to 15 templates for foul territory. This would be separate from the outfield wall templates. Give us five of the MLB templates, then the other ten can be the various minor league parks (Shippet, Barnes Canyon, BayFront, etc). This will provide the ability to creators to make things more unique, greater variety of styles...and then make ALL the space usable with no dead zones. The "jewel-box" was outdated about 1 week after release in '21. This wouldn't be a difficult implementation. With the game allegedly releasing on PC for '26, the mods will be quick to follow, so you may as get on board with it.

2- Outfield dimensions should have a "min/max" requirement applied in order to keep the stadiums online eligible. Right now it's "oh, I see you moved your wall a 1/4", ineligible for online play" Utilizing a min/max setting would not only allow stadium creators/users to play with these stadiums online...but keep the "cheater" stadiums like Lagrasa out of picture unless used for Franchise or RTTS/Offline. Gives creators more freedom, keeps lame exploit stadiums out. Two stones with one bird: Chuck Norris-style

3- Applying the ground-trim logic to the walls would go a long, LONG way in quality of the creation suite. Currently, when you take a section of seat and sink it into the ground, it neatly trims that section to the nearest row. Take that trim logic, and code it into the walls to make them the hardpoint. You've now created the ability to make clean, seamless designs without awkward dead space.

4- Batter's Eyes need to be attachable, and potentially movable/lowerable...they absolutely cannot continue to be these massive untouchable things. The biggest problem is their "shadow" is way too big- even the flat sides that have a bit of an overhand from a ledge create a solid no-go zone straight down. The Minnestoa eye for example is next to useless because of it's design shadow and awkward shape...however if it were made attachable, this would eliminate the ugly useless space. Angel Hill is another one...the shrubs stick out like 6", and because of that you can't cleanly align anything to it...not to mention it sits WAY too high. One of the newer "generic" eyes, it's the brick building with cream roof and balcony, would be PERFECT for tons of things if we could add some fans to the walkway, lower it a bit. It also has t hat slight edge that makes it impossible to make a clean alignment.

5- Integrate more useful props...different seating styles, ability to tarp off seats, maybe add more eyes from all the ballparks. Can we get different flags? At the bare minimum, the countries competing in the WBC. With the wall textures, can we have an option for Wrigley style Ivy? Having the ivy as a prop is next to useless, so making it a texture is the logical thing.

Five. Five simple things. We can add "retractable roof" to make it an even half-dozen. These things alone would represent a huge leap forward to the stadium creator. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's far more popular than people realize, or care to admit.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN said in “Rangers” is an inappropriate team name now:

@Sarge1387_PSN
Yeah but the point is why for a team name like the “Rangers” a literal baseball team?

It's because at one time a few simple, and I mean simple morons...the same type that make the very inappropriate logos, made team names involving hard R's and double G's. Now the automated system flags things like that.

it's the "gers" or the "ngers" that triggers it. I both understand why and hate that it's so sensitive

@Talkingben9558_XBL said in Integral SC Additions to 26:

This isnt directly related to stadium creator, but can we get actual minor league stadiums please? I love the stand ins we have, but can we put those on a seperate tab and have all the actual minor league ballparks. Is there an issue with getting them in the game?

While I share your desire, I think it's more an issue of the sheer volume of MiLB stadiums, something like 120 I think? That's a lot of travelling for scanning.

If they give us the things the community has been asking for for years, creators can replicate them.

@Suel21_MLBTS said in Stadium Creator Suite?:

they could sell dlc packs and make money off it

Please god no...don't give SDS any ideas about locking stadiums behind paywalls

@sullivanspring_MLBTS said in Stadium creator is great. I built a fantastic stadium:

They don't think enough people use the feature for it to deserve developer time.

This is a fair thought, but the SC is a lot more popular than many care to give credit for. A lot of streamers will make their own stadiums, although they're more concerned with DD overall. I'd wager if they started pushing for upgrades they'd be done PDQ.

The creator for Franchise players is a lot easier to choke down because in Franchise you don't need to worry about asinine restrictions

I and countless others are pulling for desperately needed upgrades to the stadium creator.

I'd also like to see a few more classic stadiums.

As far as gameplay- I'd like to see a better "transfer" animation from CPU defenders. Right now, it looks like it teleports from glove to throwing hand.

More actual urgency from fielders when throwing balls, too many times they lollipop throws across the diamond

Since you disabled custom stadiums for H2H as mentioned here:

https://forums.theshow.com/topic/76781/created-stadiums-temporarily-disabled-in-h2h-games

Why not leave that as is in 26, and just implement min/max restrictions(to keep dimensions fair and exploit proof) so we can at least use the custom stadiums in games vs cpu and mini seasons?

@Talkingben9558_XBL said in Ultrawide support for the upcoming PC version!:

still cheaters in 2% of games

It's significantly higher than, that's just a highly polished "optics" number. From my own experience, there's at least two or three in every lobby now since Redsec dropped, and free weeks are basically a proving ground for testing cheat software.

This is my biggest concern with the show coming to PC...console players need the safety net of being able to do "Crossplay On- Console Only", that's the only way it will work. There's far too much that can go wrong with PC integrated into crossplay.

Jurassic Park or Saving Private Ryan for me, personally

For me it's anyone not "quiet" at the plate. If they've got an exaggerated waggle or very noticeable back-and-forth rock, it throws me off big time

Hope you enjoyed the time with the family!

Hope you like stub sales, because that’s what SDS does every year.

Don't the packs usually get juiced and go on sale this time of year?
