That's true but I don't mind it because a mound visit can go in two directions. It can either boost confidence or lower confidence. If the CPU did mound visits they would likely always be perfect assuming the CPU is coded to know when to do one.
I have not seen it boost stamina.

@sullivanspring_MLBTS said in Why the field level stand props are misshapen:
I didn't realize that about contemporary vs modern. I use concrete slabs to cover the grass in area where the stands aren't flush to the wall. Corners are tricky but I manage to make it work.
I wonder if the lockout code is so foul balls aren't catchable in the dugout.
No, that cannot be the motivation. The intention SDS has was to keep the dugouts unmoveable, but it was discovered that the walls along the baselines can be moved and so the dugouts can be moved in concert with the wall panels affixed to each end of the dugouts. What doesn't move is the pit "dug" into the surface so that the lower portion of the dugout props remain visible.
When the baseline and backstop walls are moved, the game code adjusts quite nicely and I have observed no issues with how players interact with the walls to field balls put into play.
This has revealed in rather undebatable reality that the underlying execution code of Stadium Creator has always facilitated full edit options of all the wall panels, outfield, baselines, and backstop. The reason why we haven't been able to employ these options is because SDS decided to add lock out code to our version of SC.
It seems some discovered a method to bypass this lockout code and so now we have stadiums in the vault that feature the option to move all wall panels. This has revealed a few associated issues. The dugout pit being unattached to the overall dugout prop is one such discovery. There is also some move of grass models such that they encroach in the dirt running paths in the infields.
Right now, we can guess as to how the full featured Stadium Creator that the SDS teams uses actually functions. What we as customers have is a degraded version with certain underlying options deliberately disabled. My guess is that the issues we have discovered with the moving walls are well known but overcome by additional edit options with the full feature version of SC, features that we do not have access to.
Interesting. I never tried to move the backstop. Didn't know it was possible. Your desire is to do what? Edit the amount of foul territory and location of bullpens and dugout?
My biggest issue which I've managed to work around is getting stands flush to the walls in the corners. Another is some stand having a "foot" that prevents the seats from being close to the wall. A much smaller issue is no cameraman with the camera in the camera well.
I love the feature. I lobbied hard for it and for ability to create uniforms and relocate/rename team. Glad we have it. Certainly room for improvement but I'm happy just to have it.

@sgoforth3_MLBTS said in Now I understand why Y2Y saves left and have not returned:
I thought it was because they expanded to XBOX and Switch. Didn’t want to deal with changing file types. I think Y2Y encourages me to buy the game each year because my progress continues (don’t need to restart).
A developer who used to work there named Nick said a couple years ago it is doable but would be time consuming. I'm buying the game every other year now so I can get more out of my franchise. For simmers it's probably not as big a deal but I play all my games.
Developers are being pulling in a thousand different directions. Something as obvious as being able to continue your franchise into next year's edition of the game gets pushed out.
@bleachfro_MLBTS said in Haven’t started my franchise yet. Anyone else?:
@sullivanspring_MLBTS Understandable. Everyone is different. I just like to have as many updated player models as possible, especially when it’s top prospects or players from the previous year.
Different strokes for different folks.
I started my franchise with the first live roster. The mlbts franchise evolves into its own world. I'm not concerned if a few players are missing because after a few years the rosters are populated with a lot of generated players.
Isn't the current or default roster full minors at game launch?
I'd love to see it but it would be a heavy lift and I'd say it's unlikely.
For lack of a better term my stadium was "crashing to desktop" during games. By that I mean it would leave the game and go to the front page of the ps5 listing all my games. I then clicked on the mlbts25 logo and it would return to the game.
The reason was I ringed my stadium from foul pole to foul pole with the orange trestle tower. I used to many that the game wouldn't allow me to use any more. I was able to save and use the stadium but it did what I described above. I deleted them all. No problems.
I'm posting this in case someone else has a similar problem.
@woody4077a_PSN said in Stadium Creator is not usable:
can confirm that crashing upon saving has NOT been fixed just had it crash three times while trying to save so that was an ENTIRE afternoon's work "gone up in smoke"
When I play games with my created stadium it "crashes to desktop" after a "freeze" but it doesn't completely crash. If I click on the mlbts25 icon it returns me to the game. First the screen goes black for a minute or two. Then I see the front page with all my games listed. Then I click on the mlbts25 icon and I return to the game.
I'm just speculating but perhaps try this the next time it crashes.

@DatMansASith_PSN said in Sunday day games:
All of my Sunday games that are supposed to be day games, and start at 1:10 or 12:40, all end up being evening 5:10 starts. Even when the first pitch is thrown the PA person says “first pitch 5:10”. It doesn’t matter what team or what stadium the Sunday game is in, it is always a 5 pm game even though the schedule says 1:10 start time.
ESPN keeps flexing your game to primetime.
My Midwest Farmers must not be important enough for ESPN. Mine start on time.
@mandrykm_PSN said in Coachs:
Yes when i look at pkayer cards (in game) im not seeing certain Attributes change like power end contact even though I hired coaches specifically for that area
To test it hire a coach with + or - speed and then look in game when that player is at bat or on base. The icon above his head will show speed.
I think it impacts in game attributes. Not sure if you see it on the player card.
That's in foul territory. I wasn't aware that was possible.
After the most recent patch when the game is over after an lengthy delay it "crashes to desktop" by which I mean it leaves the game and goes to the ps5 page showing all my games. I then click on mlb the show 25 logo and it takes me back to the game. I does this multiple times. Takes 5 to 10 minutes but eventually I' successfully out of the game and can save.
I used a mlbts23 stadium I created and it worked fine. Only the news mlbts25 stadium does this.
Is it just me?
It's interesting to see how others play this game. I play manage mode/press box view on fast play and I'd turn cutscenes off completely if I could. In manage mode there is a cut scene to the batter after the first pitch of each plate appearance. If a batter gets a hit there is a cutscene. For user team only there is a cutscene for mound visits and relief pitcher entrances.
What I'd get rid of others enjoy. I also have no interest in DD but clearly many others enjoy it.
To my knowledge you get only one roster to start a franchise. I've never done it but I think you can create players and add them. Seems like a tedious process but that's the only way I can think of.
I'm not aware of the ability to upload an image from the internet. I've always used the art program in the game. Sorry I can't help.
There are more important things with limited developer resources. I'm not a simmer. I don't mind taking my time to renew contracts/arbitration/re-sign pending free agents.
