I hope they apply a more realistic middle reliever management. Its amazing how many games I play, and go on and look at real mlb stats and see these same pitchers only going 1 inning, rarely 2 and watching in the game they go 2,3, even sometimes (but rarely) 4 innings.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A on Twitter Reveals Some More Details - No Create a Stadium

I remember being able to create stadiums and expansion teams on PS3. I believe it was the MVP franchise? I don't understand how it can't be included in these next gen games? Its like the entire gaming industry took a giant step backwards as far as features go. Yeah the graphics are better but so what. Theres no meat to these games anymore. I buy this game every year but its only for the new rosters. I feel like I'm buying he same game every year. Really disappointing.

I assume you mean PS2. I played a lot of MVP. I don't remember if I could create teams and stadiums but I know you could in the ASB series. I am not sure why this option is not in modern games. Maybe the move to HD made it incredibly difficult to implement. Maybe they did research and found out that only like 3% of players actually use the feature and that it's not worth the time and effort.

I am actually more concerned about features leaving the game like rivalry mode. Now when my friends and I want to play a series, we have to keep simming until the teams we want to play against each other win. For instance, we now need to go to the playoff mode and select the 2 teams we want to play against each other and then we put the worst teams to fill out the bracket and sim until my AL team is playing against their NL team in the WS. Sometimes it takes like 10 tries and that's even after saving and exiting out and then loading it back up again. Very annoying to have to do. Not sure why rivalry mode had to be taken out. I wish there was just a straight WS championship mode where you picked 2 teams and that's it.

I will wait for all the announcements before I decide on getting 16 but I bought a PS4 over Black Friday and am playing MLB 15 on my PS3 and it's plagued by the pitchers face twitching/appearing, reappearing glitch and it's incredibly annoying to have to get used to so I will probably be buying 16 for PS4 just so I don't have to deal with that anymore.

They've said before that they would like to give us create a stadium in the game but I think it's actually the MLB that tells them no.

I don't think the MLB has a problem with this.
I think it's just way, way too complex....the stadiums are done piece by piece with each part having the lighting...sun/shadows...etc done on each piece.
I just don't think there is anything in place that allows for even sections to put together in a program that can be used in game.

It was an unrealistic want IMO.

I really enjoyed collecting all of the equipment in 15. Not holding my breath but it'd be nice to know if that can be transferred.

Judging by the rosters being a no and them being purchasable via stubs (gotta generate new money with the new game) I'm certainly not expecting a yes. Would be nice though!

I just asked on twitter. The response was the RTTS equipment does not transfer over with your player from 15 to 16. Gotta earn it all over again.

Can't wait for the fact sheet and those Dev twitch streams.

Just going to get this out the way because I know people are going to keep asking about it.

Create a stadium is a Galactus type task and we've discussed it's feasibility during the last two pre-production cycles. If we ever did it your talking about at least a two year project. Which would mean some of our artists, programmers, and designers would work for a whole year on something you wouldn't see for two years. Then some would complain and say we didn't do enough in the year you didn't get the feature. It would also mean during the year there wouldn't be any or as many new minor league/classic stadiums released.

We have a pretty good idea of the type of create-a-stadium feature the masses would enjoy. And we rarely put features out that we don't feel are up to our internal standards. We also must weight that enormous task with how many people would actually use it.

Also the "it was in MVP argument" is like comparing apples to an iphone 6. The asset size differences from a PS2 game to a PS4 game alone are enormous. Not to mention a smorgasbord of other technical hurdles.

Hope this helps everyone understand a bit more.

Do you guys need any help in the CAPS department?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A on Twitter Reveals Some More Details - No Create a Stadium

One thing I dislike about Twitter "interviews" is the developers can choose which questions to answer. I'm sure someone asked about advanced stat tracking. They either don't want to give away that it's in or don't want to lose sales and say it's not. Again, they're doing what's best for sales, sort of like denying any AI late-game boosts occur.

Normally this is a PM, but your post history warrants this:

We are not going to do this again this year. The developers have said it's not fairly plainly. You have been warned multiple times. This will be the last time you are warned, and the next time you will be banned permanently (as in there will be no more appeals like last time).

It would be a good feature but the work required makes it unlikely. What I'd like to see is simply a feature to create my own team with created logo and name as in diamond dynasty and replace an existing team with my created team in franchise mode. I'd pick a classic or current stadium. It doesn't seem like much of a programming chore since the function already exists within the game in diamond dynasty.

If MLB has a problem with it, limit it to offline franchise.

I wouldn't infer that at all. I think it just means that the resources allocated to stadium design in that given year/two-year span year would disbar any chance of providing any new stadiums. You could consider those resources to be men, memory, research, cost... you name it.

I don't think he was hinting toward anything like, "Well, we hypothesized beginning this project this year for the release of MLB '18, but that would cut out our ability to release those other classic/MiLB stadiums as DLC this year for you guys that we kept under wraps." That's definitely a long stretch, to say the least.
