Official Translation: " We have no competition to worry about, so we'll keep releasing the same game with a few new features that you really won't notice unless you watch our developer videos. But you can close the roof this year!"

Couldn't be more wrong.

What about the possibility of having pre-built stadiums rather than a stadium creater? Think ASB. They had like 10 pre built stadiums (for expansion mode), plus future stadiums in franchise mode. Madden also has this when relocating. Have you guys considered that?

As awesome as a stadium creator would be, I would honestly be perfectly happy with this. Just like 5-10 different generic MLB sized stadiums similar to how they do the minor league parks. And if possible, maybe a handful of options (seat color, grass pattern, ability to place a team logo, etc.) just to add a little personalization, but nothing too major.

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.

It's called 'competition is good for the consumer'. Now, it's apparently acceptable to keep the same player models since the PS2 days. And yes, I know they are higher resolution, but they are, literally, the same player models. I cannot justify spending $60 for retractable roofs and a roster update.

Love this game, but when are they going to add transition animations so some of those warm up swings don't look so weird?

Hey, they might get around to updating those around, oh...2025 or so. Gotta make sure those beards are perfect, though!

Without an expansion mode pre-built generic stadiums would be a waste of developer time. I'd settle for the ability to rename and replace an existing team and move into a classic stadium.

I liked the NCAA football game's teambuilder feature where you could "create" everything yourself on a computer and then import it into the game and replace an existing school with your own creation but the lawyers shut down all the college games. I'm sure baseball stadiums are more complicated than a football field because the football field dimensions don't change.

I'll still support the show even if they ignore all my suggestions.

Even if not a "team builder" feature (which I'd love)... a rebranding feature like they put into NBA 2k16. I've been having a blast recreating historic teams, uniforms and arenas. Again baseball may be a bit more difficult since stadium dimensions vary stadium to stadium but how difficult would it be to allow us to choose one of say 5 generic stadiums and gives us the ability alter dimensions, wall height and a few other things? I still hoping one day???

I wonder if I will be able to open my PS4 '16 version franchise saves on '15 PS3 and Vita versions of the game? That would be dope!

That is literally 100% incorrect.

thinking you might want to go ahead and jog your memory by watching some old clips of PS2 MLB The Show...

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.

This is what I love about SCEA as their transparency and willingness to show/prove their logic is near unasailable continues to keep my faith that the game will always improve YOY.

The problem lies within that statement though.

The player models look so similar from previous versions, that people are going to make erroneous statements like that, until something is truly done about the player models.

Not just the minor improvements we've seen like better skin color.

If presentation and atmosphere have been updated, I'll be set. It needs a significant upgrade in that department.

That's my number one hope for MLB The Show 16 too.

I don't hate the current presentation but it definitely has gotten to stale over the years. Even just some small changes like a new Home Run Stat overlay popup while the batter is rounding the bases just like you see on most real life TV baseball broadcasts would be a nice addition. I have been asking for these things for years and with luck a lot of luck actually we will get a brand new updated TV Style in presentation. But I will admit I am starting to lose some hope for any "Major" changes to the presentation.

I guess we will find out in a few more weeks

I was wrong to use 'literally' in my post. But yeah, after looking at PS2 screenshots, other than some minor tweaks, and some articulation improvements, they are the same player models.
