Think about it; If MLB 2k8 was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, and MLB 2k9 was the same, people would say "I'm not spending $60 on a freakin' roster update."

Wow, excellent point.

That's not Dunn Tire Park...or is it?





Looks absolutely nothing like it. I mean, the buildings in the background kinda look like Buffalo, but other than that, it retains none of the features of the real stadium. There isn't a big wall in right field, the Big Board in right center is nowhere to be found, you can't see the highway in the background...I'm thinking this stadium's generic.

i would put money that BUF plays in one of the "generic" fields and dunn tire park isnt actually in the game. If one of the "authentic" minor league parks listed in the game is Dunn tire park, someone at 2k needs to pick a different career choice cause they are a little off the rocker.

KushGamer said that an entirely new team came on to redo the stadiums for 2K9. A lot of the blandness with the stadiums probably had to do with the inherited lack of talent than Brinkman got with the 2K series. KG even mentioned some frustrating conversations he had with the stadium artists.

The stadium in picture #97 has Potomac at home, and I checked pictures of their stadium, and there is no resemblance...so it appears as though that is one of the generic minor league stadiums as well.

Exactly. Its very encouraging that they realized they needed to redo the stadiums.
