That's up to Sony, not this dev team.

This should posted in giant letters in a stickied thread in the MLB The Show forum.

Any word on doubles down the line increasing this year, kind of lacking the way it stands now.

They'll ignore it and keep asking the same question.

Please read through his post history before making a post like this. It was quite clearly a joke and went over your head.

However you claim create a stadium isnt realistic given what it would take (understandable) Pre Built MAJOR league ballparks would be a solid idea, there are a decent amount of teams IE A's, Rays and Jays that could use a change of scenery when it comes to their ballparks.

Im in a short 29 game fantasy season with the A's, is it ever hard to play there.

Honestly, i would habe thought by year 3 of "next grn" we would have seen some sort of create a stadium. Fairly inexusable to me. Closed/open roofs arent pushing the envolope and stagnation isnt fun. Even if it were only something we could use in the minors for licensing reasons, it still SHOULD be something we see by year 3 of ps4 in my opinion. Its time.

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.

First, i applaud you and your team for always being upfront and not shying away from any question asked. That goes a long way in my book and its very refreshing. However, if a feature like create a stadium is a two year project then when will it EVER be a feasable project? At some point it either has to start to get the ball rolling or just come out and say it just will not happen ever. I imagine the longer it waits, the closer it comes to the end of this gens cycle and gets scrapped because it closes in on the concept of "lets just wait til a ps5."

Everyone that loves baseball loves the individuality of each stadium, how stats get affected by dimensions, and the aspect of the game being as unique as our mind allows for it. Customization. Its at the heart of this game already. Its the natural next step then to take this individuality to the most identifiable aspect of the very game itself; the stadiums. Its basically the only sport where such customization changes how a gm builds their team, plays their game, etc, and mlds the outcomes. I think it really is time to take this next innovative step even if it is a gigantic one. Adds so much depth to road to the show, franchise, exhibition, sharing, online eventually, etc.
