I would be down for fake sponsors like they used to have.

well just like everything, they need permission from those companies to use their sponsors.

I know just wishful thinking


I think the biggest thing this year visually is the faces and the skin tones and the way the lighting will correctly reflect... no more ghost like pasting so now it will look more as if they are outside in an environment rather than being slightly askew from the environment like last year

I can't wait to see this all year long, one year closer to in-game replays on the jumbotrons now, even if that won't happen until 2030 realistically.

Not permission, any company would take free advertising. Those spots are paid advertisements.

I don't know how aggressive they are pursuing advertising but I'm also not sure what the market is for advertising within a game is. It always seemed strange to me that State Farm would advertise in a baseball video game but it looked good to me.

As previously mentioned though, I miss the fake advertisements they used to have.

it doesn't matter, they must get permission. or that company can simply sue SCEA, EVEN if it is advertising for said company. it is either they approach the company for permission or those companies approach SCEA to see if they can implement it into their game, however it is still the same thing. permission.

it is the exactly same thing with brand named gear. the devs had to get permission to implement those items into the game.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements

But if they're getting the license for the equipment, why wouldn't they be able to get one for stadium ads? Can't imagine it would be too hard, why wouldn't a brand want to be advertised in a videogame stadium if their equipment and logo is already in the game? Seeing Nike and Adidas ads around the stadium would make them look so much better than sticking with the same 5 ads they've had repeated ad nauseum throughout the parks for years.

I know, am well aware of that. You completely missed my point.

I'm saying if they were to go to Pepsi and ask if they could put up Pepsi signs Pepsi isn't going to say no.

Those spots are spots that are paid for by the advertising company, not free ads with permission.

i dont know how it all works, and you are correct, it probably wouldn't be too bad for them to ask adidas/etc if they can place adverts around as well(but only the devs can tell us how this would work). But with that said, getting a licence MAY cost money as well, and may be extra money to place ads into the game. who knows.

anyways, they could do what NBA2k does and place different dynamic ads around as 1 way of doing it as well. like when there is a sale in 2k for example they would have advertisements placed in spots where ads would normally be in RL.

SCEA pays to have all that licensed equipment in the game. That's why it wasn't in the game until recently. And why some brands still aren't in the game. They haven't reached the terms needed to allow their product to be used.

And as far as advertising is concerned, real brands ask for money from the company to be shown within the game. Usually isn't the other way around. Only a few brands are willing to pay to be featured within a video game product.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements

This is one of those areas that would benefit the Show and whatever sponsor was in game if no money had to change hands either way. After a few years of doing it that way, the Show could then become able to be choosy as to who they let in. and even charge for the right to do so.

I brought this up a few years ago. Unfortunately there are legalities with having fake ads as well. Believe it or not. That's why we don't see many.

I was always hoping for fake add, in the same color / style as the real ones.
But if what you say it's true then it's not going to happen.

Too bad, i really like all the work they do. I just don't like seeing too much of the same adds all the time. Somehow it makes the "total color" of the stadium look off (if that makes sense).
There's not enough variation.
But if it's a legal thing then it is what it is.

Glad they made some improvements though I can't say I ever worried about the ads before.

Wow at that Konami advertisement screenshot!

Where some Rogers Centre love Sony?

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements

Wish they could do something like NBA does in myteam. You can upload your own images onto things like the scorers table, floor, etc. I wish the could give us the ability to overwrite their fake adds with our own uploads in franchise and play now.
