lowlighthabit's 2021 SOTS Packs

Re: lowlighthabit's 2021 SOTS Packs

Is coming back this year !

I hope you’re right. I’ve called mlb.tv multiple times already asking about if it would be back. Their customer service is so bad, it’s hard for them to even understand the English that I’m speaking sometimes. They literally had no idea there was an audio function like that, so at this point, who knows

Big fan of your work, BU1B22!

Any updates so far for music or are things more so in a waiting game?

We appreciate it man! I'm not sure what the status are for the packs. I haven't heard from lowlighthabit much. He didn't ask me to help with packs, so I'm just rolling out the research when I get it. I'm hopeful packs will be out by the time the game is released!

Thanks for your help man. Make sure to post your updates in the team threads so we don't clutter up the packs thread

Re: lowlighthabit's 2021 SOTS Packs

Hello all -

Quite the times we are living in where SOTS is effectively neutered for MLBTS21 on next gen.

I’m very curious as to what everyone in this incredible community (and thread) thinks. I recall talking with BU1B22 over the last few weeks in prep for 21’s SOTS, ranging from the new updates, to LowLight’s silence (for lack of a better word? and completely meant with no disrespect as we all have more important things in life to worry about nowadays, opposed to gaming...was just a massive fan of BU & Lowlight’s work over the last few years).

Originally, after reading there would only be walk up songs, a single home run song, and pitcher entry music, I was under the impression that hey, at least I’ll be able to upload batter walk up music for my guys...it just sucks I won’t have “Go Cubs Go” play when I win a big game at Wrigley, and “Woop there it is” won’t play when I crush a bomb with Rizz...but I was willing to deal with it.

Coming to the (accurate?...we won’t really know until 4/19 @12amPST) understanding that all of the SOTS selectable items will only be generic music that’s already in the game has effectively stunted and quite honestly, reversed my excitement for 21. I’ve been pre ordered from day 1, and now our community has been ravaged by this.

Hope it doesn’t come off like I am complaining, moaning, or being self-centered, but this was OUR feature. It was the thing that allowed us to make this game as true-to-life as possible. Immersion and atmosphere are my pillars in a sports game, and MLBTS was the only game out of ALL major current sports titles that allowed you to do such. With the inclusion of Xbox (which, according to my research, will not allow users to upload MP3s to the system) we now have lost my personal favorite feature. I’m all for inclusion, getting more eyes on the game, and allowing as many who wish I play the ability to do so; after all, I made the move to PlayStation with the sole purpose of playing MLBTS years ago, but for it to come at this cost truly is a dagger in my gaming soul.


It just hurts. It hurts a lot and I’m curious as to what everyone else here may think and what the plan is (or is not) moving forward. Perhaps, and this is only speculation, this is the reason why some have been “quiet” in recent months and weeks leading up to the game.

Be well all, and I look forward to conversing as we try and overcome this hurdle incredible hurdle for our community.

My plan is very simple.

MLB 20 on the PS5.

This is massive kick in the balls. I am truly disappointed it has come to this with not one...but the two most immersive features (Y2Y and SOTS) ever made for a console sports game.....gone....like a fart in the wind.

Right there with you Armor.

Brothers in arms and controllers.

20 it is.

That sucks. I wonder if that's what they butchered for create a stadium.


Any word on whether or not they screwed with SOTS on PS4?

Re: lowlighthabit's 2021 SOTS Packs

OK everyone, update time. Life gets in the way sometimes, especially when you are running your own business. If I could monetize this I would so I could spend more time on it but I don't see that happening.

My plan for today is to get as many teams done as possible, BUT... I will not put a ton of work into the stadium sounds right off the bat until I see what is allowed this season. Super disappointed to hear all the news about how the SotS has been torn down for this year. I do not own a PS5 or the XBox Series X so, unless someone would like to purchase the systems for me, I have no way of testing any files on either system (and that's if the XBox will even allow importing). Also, I only own the PS4 version, so again if someone wants to purchase the XBox One version for me I have no way of testing the files. That said, I will not be creating separate files for PS4/PS5, XBox One/Series X files. If the PS5 doesn't allow things the PS4 allows, the downloader will have to weed out the unusable files. Same goes for the XBox if it's even possible on release.

Beginning work on the next team as soon as I finish this post, should see them going live throughout the day.


Just want to say one thing to close, SotS is such an awesome feature and the fact that SDS/Microsoft decided to keep it from new users is pretty f'in lame. My money is that it is the fault of Microsoft and the fear of music rights... which was the same fear Sony had in the beginning. Let's not lay all the blame at SDS for issues on XBox, as well as the PS5 so let's wait to hear from them. We are still getting one of the most accurate sports games on the market.

Thanks for the update Lowlight! I (and we) very much appreciate everything you do!

Looking forward to the release of packs, when you have the time.

Also, best of luck with the business, that’s awesome to hear.
