If there is anyone who knows what the entire country wants in MLB The Show '16 next year, it's OUSOONERS#1...

Although it has nothing to do with Franchise Mode, gotta love this;

Miscellaneous Notes

You can now select a specific month and time of day for exhibition games. These settings will affect the in-game lighting.

Create a-stadium /expansion feature you would not use ? Cause hight light show instead of radio show Yes I would much rather have ;-)

I wouldn't use a create a stadium at all. Have no desire to create fake stadiums. Would rather have real with real backdrops that are spot-on.

I don't begrudge others for wanting it, but I also don't assume that the features I want the most are what everyone else wants in their games the most.

A create a stadium feature would be cool if it was a small piece of the game. But the resources and time that would have to be put into that feature would not be worth not improving other key aspects of the game such as load times, game play, visuals.

A full year of development would be needed to bring that into the game. and during that time, not a lot of improvements to game play, Presentation, and the load times would be that much longer.

It would be fun, I would use it occasionally. I would much rather play in MLB official stadiums. It would be fun if DD had create a stadium and each team had their own custom stadium. But then again, the amount of work and time that would be put into that would simply not be worth suffering other improvements.

The only reason I could see it having any benefit for me would be if there was an expansion mode (or relocation) but even then I don't get deep enough with regards to multiple seasons for it to matter.

That said, now that we have carry over saves I could see it being something nice but even then it would pretty much be a one time thing.

I think it would be more beneficial for certain teams in franchise mode. We all know relocation/expansion isn't going to happen, but stadium builder would be nice especially for people using Tampa Bay or Oakland in franchise mode. Even beneficial for people that go deep into franchise mode (10 seasons or more). Idk if it is possible or not, but if SCEA can find a way to do what ASB did with fake expansion stadiums or future stadiums then I'm sure we could all live with that if stadium creator isn't feasible.

Stadium creator would be at its best if it allowed players to recreate (or get pretty close) the classic stadiums that SCEA says they'll never be able to put back in to the game.

Re: MLB 15 The Show: Franchise Mode Stream Full Recap/Notes

I would just prefer random stadiums made by the designers over having CAS. I think there are many other things time should be invested in for the next few cycles other than CAS.

Agreed.

I also think that what people think they would be getting in a stadium editor/creator would never live up to what they are expecting or hoping for.

I know I would be turned off by not being able to have true-to-life exteriors and backdrops. A fake city would ruin the immersive factor instantly for me. Fake ads and not having total control over dimensions would drive me nuts.

Even the better stadium creators of the past were not nearly good enough for me to want to play in most of the time. It would take hours to nail down every little detail and then after about 5 games in that stadium I would hate it and pick a real stadium to play in instead.

Living in Florida now I make some rounds on the spring training circuit and the game does a decent job of replicating some of the features of those parks, but they are generic enough that I end up wanting to sim spring training after looking at the same generic parks all of the time. Creating another generic park with even less detail is not something that I have much interest in.

Now my web-based uniform creator, that is a whole other story ha.

Glad to see the Tribe in the playoffs when doing the Yankees season sim. But i was horrified when you advanced seasons and Kluber was on the Yankees, PLEASE NO. Can't wait though the game looks great and the improvements are a welcomed change.

I really hope that they fine tuned the generated players. I do not want to see every other players with corn rows and multi colored equipment.

Re: MLB 15 The Show: Franchise Mode Stream Full Recap/Notes

Cardinals fans would.

I was going to rebut this, but then I remembered that you're right.

I can't believe some of the Facebook comments I read.

Re: MLB 15 The Show: Franchise Mode Stream Full Recap/Notes

I think SCEA should focus on getting closed roofed versions of the stadiums that need it before even considering create-a-stadium.

Same here, along with having stupid names for scouts, they seem to think that there aren't many American scouts,lol. Nothin against foreign people, but most scouts are from the US.

I noticed during this stream that pitchers weren't wearing sleeves. Could it be they adjusted the temps and sleeve logic?
