That clip of Fenway with the pinkish Summer sky is beautiful. It's baseball to it's core.

This is VERY true - I "LIVE" 10 minutes from Sun Life Field (where the Marlins, Dolphins, & Hurricanes play) and during baseball season they don't even open up part of the upper deck for seating...

...when I play there I don't want to see a full crowd - there isn't anyone even ALLOWED up there...they don't sell tickets there.

Hmmm..

Everything else looks great tho!

I believe it's an issue of the MLB not allowing the devs to render the stadium so empty, probably because it would make the team and the league look really bad. Pretty much every baseball video game I remember ever playing has had people in the upper decks.

Same for Blue Jays games. They DO open it up for games against the Yankees and Red Sox though, because the lower decks do fill up for those games.

(I also suspect that Phillies games where Halladay is pitching will be the same.)

You guys at SCEA to me have created the best best sports / baseball game ever. Looking forward to the release on March 8th. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to play the game and see how progressive field in cleveland looks in the game.

That's not completely true...they always sell tickets in the 5-6 sections closest to being directly behind home plate regardless of who is playing. Its just when no one shows up that they don't need to sell tickets for the baseline/OF sections. If they become good again the place will fill up (ie very soon

)

I was greedily hoping for a shot of the out of town scorebards in LCF/RCF to confirm they were in, but I'll gladly take what I saw. Amazing.

I figured - I moved down to South Florida (from Chicago) a little over a year ago and I noticed (by going to Marlins games at Sun Life Stadium) that baseball isn't really a priority to people down here - it's sad, especially coming from a HUUUGE Cubs fan myself where I LOOOVE my baseball!

It's weird how they don't sell tix to certain parts of the stadium...it's just weird...can't wait til' the new stadium is built.

# 31 Perfect Zero @ 02/10/11 05:30 PM

Moved to automatic buy territory with the new scoreboard Greenberg built.

Excellent job SCEA; that was totally unexpected and welcomed.

I hope they get better soon. I doubt it'll be this season, or even next, but they're on the rebuild.

I'm just hoping it never rains at the Rogers Centre in MLB 11. They close the dome on the rain.

Hey Kolbe, is this possible or is this another inside chop at the braves fans.

Man the jumbo trons look amazing along with the added generated skies you applied across all stadiums.. very nice touch on the Info Video. Biggups to the SCEA team. Oh I really liked on how the fans got disappointed when the first basemen couldn't come up with the scoop. Also props to the OS member that provided the captured stills.

One questions: Will the Jumbotrons still provide accurate info when in Replay form?

# 34 ocat @ 02/10/11 06:53 PM

Wow, latitude, longitude of each stadium and time of year to determine how the sky should look! Amazing details and great idea.

# 35 Jase24 @ 02/10/11 09:04 PM

I guess I may have missed it, but what is with all the talk about the Braves and not having them in videos and etc.? I haven't seen any videos or anything with them in it, but the past few years you usually don't so I haven't really thought much about it.
