    More ads in stadiums for MLB 16....

    To me it looks like we took a sizeable leap in the ads in 15. They blend in a lot better. So this is the other thing I am curious about. I feel MLB 15 has taken a huge step with some great companies. The only problem? I still feel ads are lacking in the stadiums and some of them are ridiculously stale at this point. Some stadiums look better than others. Understandable when we are building a new game here.

    It's time for a stadium wide revamp now that they have a lot of them up to par in the graphics department. Many stadium ads should stay but I hope some of them are replaced, especially the double-doubles and repeat ads which look pretty bad in certain areas. The Player's Trust ad I have no idea how that thing is still around. Someone just needs to speak up and axe these horrid looking ads at some point.

    No doubt we still need textures and buildings improved further in places but.... we also need the ads to start looking a little more professional in certain spots. They did a great job with making their MLB logo look less conpsicuous than in year's past though it still used too much for my taste. Places like Citi look actually really good; many stadiums do despite the Majestic/Topps reprints. Some of them not nearly as nice.

    I want to see Nike and Rawlings more than I want to see some of the ads we see in places for years now, even repeated at times. Those Majestic and Topps ads need to be used very minimally when you have Nike and Rawlings and all that jazz. Now I don't know if they can even use those in so many places but they surely should get the rights to do so. So let's see some of the designers start to make things a little more cohesive for 16 all around. Or else we might have a little run-in and we don't want that.

    Im pretty sure they dont have the rights to use the Nike, Rawlings, Mizzuno ads like that.

      I remember a few years ago when the ads would update in the game. They had Subway $5 footlong ads one day and Discovery Channel ads the next. Really added to the realism

        Yeah, more stuff like that would really be appreciated, though, I know that is hard to get. And let's see how this year goes. I'm really glad we got equipment in. But it's time these damn corps respect the game here and WANT to be in The Show. It's the only respectable basegame out there for America. Baby steps I know but hey we can start trying to get some movement on this issue. As I said 15 looks a lot better all around.

        It's baffling though that we rarely get too many NEW ads. Players trust was bad before and it's equally as bad. Majestic has always been only okay and it's used literally everywhere! I'm just saying the ads really do help the stadiums come to life. Not as much as textures and nicely done 3D elements but close in some ways!

          See this IMO is where they could be making some additional revenue. Just like real life ballparks, they could sell sponsorship spaces on different generic places to replace fake adds. Just a few would add to the realism and they get more money in their pockets.

              That is a nice idea. I was hoping hey this is the PREMIER baseball game people should want their damn ads in this game. I certainly hope we get a few more that will at least give their ads for free in the game next year.

                I know The Show isn't Madden or NBA 2k but you would think they could get a Pepsi or Chevy sponsorship

                  They need to make their own ads which capture the essence of the real life ad. As an example back in All star baseball, the Mets used to have that huge Budweiser ad on the RF scoreboard in Shea, MVP baseball and 2 K baseball just put whatever there, but All Star baseball made it a red ad with white letters and it said a Developers last name. It didn't overtly look like a budweiser ad, but it was red and white, and it made the stadium feel more like shea. The show needs to do this.

                    Or just open this up to users.

                    Adboard creation.

                    Creations can be shared in the vault. When you see what people do with forza liveries you wonder why all games dont circumvent things like this by allowing the community to design what they want.

                      Indeed, opening this up to users would be incredible.

                        Why? Most Ballparks are dressed up like the whore of Babylon anyways and you are wanting to see more of them? Sweet Lord of Mercy I don't understand people.

                        I'll accept more advertisements when they lower the price of the game.

                          It's not that we want to see more ads, we just want to see the fake ads replaced by real ads. Some people actually like ads in games... Leads to the realism

                            You know what else leads to realism? Turning on the television and watching a real game.

                            We are constantly bombarded by advertisements in everything. It's nice once in a while to worry about the speedster at first base or trying to get out of a jam at the plate. It doesn't matter if Tom's Stop-n-Chug is in the game.

                              I know I only have to deal with it this year and next year but could you please change the ads behind home plate at Turner? I mean 5 MLB The Show ads, one supersized, right next to each other. Come on!
