Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements

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.

At some point we'll get real adds I'm sure, just as it was with equipment. Huge discussion on here on why it's impossible until it wasn't anymore and everybody went quiet lol

I would not count on real adds being added into The Show anytime in the near future. Don't get your hopes up.

They will not. To simply go out and negotiate the thousands of deals and pay all of that money just to get real billboard and add placement in a product that is attempting to make money would be a death sentence for a game.

Not to mention how a hefty portion of stadium advertising is focused around alcohol, that wouldn't fly in an E rated product.

Edit: RR beat me to it.

Understandable, but what about user-customized ads a'la NBA 2K? Where you'd basically have preset pixel requirements on each advertisement area and let users upload their creations to those spaces.

Ok so I don't think it'll be each and every real add from every team and ballpark in the game, but rather smth like in nba2K e.g., some real brands repeating in each stadium. I'm certain smth like this will happen at some point. Ppl will keep demanding it on here, others will tell them it's gonna remain impossible, ain't gonna happen, then one year scea will announce it as new feature and everybody will be happy.

We have that now.

There are a few real ads in the stadiums that repeat. They aren't the right real ads that are actually in the real life venues, but they have Topps, State Farm, and others featured within the game.

Yea but rather few, I'm thinking of an amount of adds to fill like 10 ballparks without a single one repeating.

Was Subway a real ad in the game a few years back or am I thinking of something else ?

Stadiums with PlayStation advertisements often have them in the Show with correct placement, such as Yankee Stadium and AT&T park

What about fake adverts, like maybe one for Reptile Dysfunction, which would be medicine for you pet iguana, maybe one for PB&J (peanutbutter and jello) or TampX, Tampa's airport.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements

The Triple Play Baseball franchise had a great collection of fake companies and advertisements complete with "live reads".

Two I can remember off the top of my head are Gamma Airways and Lobster Cola.

This!
And if this is too risky for them hinting too much at the real thing then perhaps an add reflecting a totally different product, but in the same font and color of the real add?

That's exactly what gets you sued.

I still make jokes about Lobster Cola to this day. My buddy and I will just randomly text something about it. And sometimes when my wife goes to the store I tell her to grab me a 12 pack of Lobster Cola. And she just sighs or tells me to shut up. So worth it.

Ok i give up then. Would just like to see some more diversity instead of a lot of the same adds.
In the end it's just a minor point, i'm buying the game as always and like how SDS continues to improve the game year by year.
