I think they'd need 2-3 years to install an expansion mode complete with logo-making, artwork, uniform creation, other details, and with even a limited stadium creator. It's really just a question of when and how many resources they devote to it. Especially as MLB gets closer to its next expansion, probably within a decade for sure, the noise for an expansion mode will only get louder.

Except for the stadium creator, they really already have all the other things in Diamond Dynasty. Logo and uniform creators are really good in DD.

I'd be fine with a couple of generic MLB level stadiums to pick from.

They already have the logo-making, artwork, uniform creation, team name and location in the game in Diamond Dynasty. I don't play that mode but I created a team and logo just for something to do. The art mechanics are actually pretty good once you figure out how to use them.

The only thing they would have to do is make it available for franchise and they could do that without a stadium creator. If you don't want to use a current stadium there are now 8 classic stadiums and multiple milb stadiums available. Everything needed to make this work in franchise is already in the game, they only need to add it to franchise. If they don't have developer hours available to make a stadium creator they could add that in a future year.

Thats even if MLB is willing to sign off on it. Major League Baseball seem to be the most stringent of the the 4 top American sports leagues, almost to the point of overprotection that holds back SCE's potential to make the most ultimate baseball video game in, well, forever.

DD's uniform creator definitely is a good base for a franchise uni creator. However, would like to be able to import logos/wordmarks so we could better replicate classic uni's.

There's probably something to this. The Show is awesome year after year, but it's also definitely the weakest of the Big Four (five if you want to include FIFA/PES) in terms of team/league/player customization. It would be interesting to know exactly how much MLB will actually allow in terms of user creation.

That could be a valid point but since it is already in Diamond Dynasty it doesn't seem like a major hurdle to include the already existing feature in franchise.

You do make a valid point about MLB. If I was running a professional sport I'd want to promote in any way possible. The more interest in the show, the more potential interest in MLB. Unfortunately Russell does a better job of promoting the show than MLB does in promoting their own game. They are lucky baseball is such a beautiful game which tends to promote itself.

Correction... they have 11 classic stadiums already confirmed for the Show 17.

The 6 last year, plus the 4 returning for PS4, plus Turner Field.
