MLB '10: The Show Interview: Senior Producer, Jody Kelsey

[TwinsTerritory]

A Voice From Twins Territory has posted an interview with Jody Kelsey, Senior Producer of MLB '10: The Show, where he answered some questions regarding the building of Target Field and the Minneapolis skyline, as well as some other things.

Three screenshots are included, one of which might be new.

Quote:

A Voice From Twins Territory: "When you guys work on building a stadium, what are the steps? What type of research do you do, on-site visits, etc." Jody Kelsey: "After obtaining all the needed reference material, we go into the initial layout stage. Our main focus deals with important items such as wall dimensions, wall heights and field layout. We then go into construction and model detail. Accuracy is always on our mind, so during this process we continue to check for updated reference material to assure the model is as accurate as the real stadium. Texturing and lighting is the final stage in the development of the stadium. During this whole process, we do travel to the stadium sight if possible, obtaining photo and lighting reference allowing us to recreate the most realistic stadium experience for anyone playing in Target Field in MLB 10 The Show."

So, any Twins fans dare to play a MLB 10 franchise in the Metrodome?

I'm really liking all of the detail the producer gave about the new lighting effects; it really sounds like it's gonna be amazing.

The amount of detail he talks about is amazing. You see the lighting detail when you play the game, but there is so much work that goes into it. Also, from not having the chance to visit Target Field this year, I'd say they did an outstanding job.

Although there has been many memories in the Dome I will never dare play another game in that dump again.

Thanks a bunch for that! Living about 15 minutes outside of the Twin Cities, I couldn't be more excited to pick this game up and play outdoor baseball with the Twins. And that skyline is pretty accurate, which was great to see.

omg I didn't noticed by his name...but wasn't Jody Kelsey in the Yankees AAA team in the default MLB 09 roster?!

I'm sorry if i'm super late on this...

Good stuff and thanks for posting. I didn't know they worked on nighttime lighting - I thought it was purely daytime that was worked on this year. Even something more to look forward to!
