Re: How The Show Can Embrace Baseball's History

If God loves baseball like I think he does......he will get Ramone to print this out and get this to the people who need to see this to get it done.
If they take care of the stadiums......a uniform editor and custom league setup...
We'll take care of the rest!

Great read.

It would be truly amazing to see what the osfm folks could do with a real historic roster on the show. Authentic teams/jerseys/stadiums from certain eras. Would be really cool to see it all done


Also would love to play in the kingdome with the 95 Ms, now THAT would be freakin awesome

I used to love playing with the classic stadiums in ASB and MVP. I would adjust the color on my TV so it would be black and white to replicate the way I always saw the parks on TV. This is definitely one area The Show is lacking. I never bought any of those stupid "get good fast" points they sell but I would buy PSN after PSN card to fund classic stadium DLC.

And I also agree, the Kingdome with a 90's Mariners team would be amazing! Hopefully we could get something like that right as Jr goes into the Hall.

The newly announced plan to add create-a-stadium for future Show versions will hopefully make it possible to create close facsimile of all the grand old dead stadiums.

Could you link that? This is the first I'm ever hearing of the create a stadium concept.

Re: How The Show Can Embrace Baseball's History

Yeah, this is the first I've heard of a create a stadium mode in future versions. Amazing if true!

This is where Ramone mentioned it.
I think it was originally brought about in discussion in a few regards....but I thinking it was a pushed to the forefront because of Diamond Dynasty. It seems like a natural place to introduce create-a-ballpark as well as custom uniforms.
Hopefully....as with other modes mentioned in "bleeding" into other modes it would see the full treatment across the board.

Excited to see this and perhaps it would lead to allowing us to relocate are teams in franchise mode at some point!

Don't toy with my emotions Knight . In all seriousness this would be great. All Star baseball did a fantastic job with expansion teams, and MVP's owner mode really set the foundation for a Create-A-Stadium. Personally I would love to model my own stadium after some of the old ball parks that are no longer around. The possibilities seem endless with each release.

Re: How The Show Can Embrace Baseball's History

Thought I'd mention this here. Just some thoughts about what would be ideal to me atleast.

I was playing a 1988 mod for the show 13, and I was thinking.

How amazing would it be if each release of the show, they included 1 season from baseball past. Just 1. Each new version they include 1 different season. What a great incentive to purchase each year.

Imagine if the show 14 included the 1986 MLB season. Imagine if it included the amazing player models included for 2014 players. Imagine if it included era specific commentary. Imagine old ballparks, era specific overlays, uniforms, everything.

In reality, all this is possible. I've seen what the show can do with the present. It's the best looking sports game out there. It plays amazing, and the presentation is arguably as good as it gets.

The resources are there, the technology is there. I wonder if the demand would be there to make something like this financially viable, but in my world, including just 1 season from the past would make the game a every year purchase.

1 season of play. No franchise. Imagine recreating 1961. I'm sure Red Sox fans would love to replay 2004. Include 1994, and have the strike called off at the last second.

There's a little OOTP in this idea obviously, but I'm dreaming of the possibilities of what this game could do with a full season from the past.

I'm not so sure the money is there, but you are correct "In reality, all this is possible". With enough money, a lot is possible.

Re: How The Show Can Embrace Baseball's History

Can't like this enough. Right now I have no plans to get MLB 14, but there are some things that could be added to future games that would re-ignite my passion for it and these classic options are #1.

Re: How The Show Can Embrace Baseball's History

Another thing I forgot to add in my original post. The create a stadium when it does appear needs to be able to create a reasonable facsimile of the old cookie cutter multi purpose stadiums, Riverfront, three rivers etc. I know everyone hated them, but I know from my own experience in making classic rosters and using others that a lot of people like the '70's and 80's baseball. And like it or not the cookie cutters are needed.

Actually, I love it. AS long as you can do season mode, w/ trades, etc. And specific stances and windups. I love it.

Re: How The Show Can Embrace Baseball's History

The more I think about this the more excited I get I would love to play at the polo grounds with Jackie Robinson or at tiger stadium with cecil fielder Roberto clemente such possibilities

I didn't hate them! I love all those stadiums, and despite the "cookie cutter" label, they all had several differences from each other that anyone who paid attention could easily tell you. Just as one example, the turf played much faster at the Vet than it did at Riverfront, so the infielders could get to balls in Cincy that would bounce past them in Philly. And there were other differences too.

Anyway, I know I'm in the minority, but I miss circle stadiums and shiny green Astroturf. It's part of my baseball childhood and I don't just conform to the popular notion that those stadiums were some sort of abomination.
