Re: Player Personality & Stadium Atmosphere Help

I noticed, in the videos I've seen of 18, that Coors Field still has massive trees down the left field line. They shouldn't be there (just deleting them should fix it).

In the game, the area to the left of the scoreboard is what I'm talking about. Every time I see those trees, it bugs me.

Update on the Angel Stadium scoreboards. Still no update on what the layout of the display will be. But it appears that the structures/buildings below the video boards are painted green. They were previously a tan color.

Re: Player Personality & Stadium Atmosphere Help

I know this is more of a stadium design post, but hopefully it’s within the context of this thread enough the be okay.

Kauffman Stadium still needs some love. Some of these images are from MLB 16, but that's because I made a similar list last year, so I'm just using the same pictures for things that still need updated.

In no particular order, here are some things that I would love to see updated:

1. Right Field Porch Sign - For years this was a Budweiser script sign, and just last year it changed to Blue Moon. Even if the text says ‘The Show’ with a baseball between the words, or ‘Kauffman’, etc., that would be better than the big rectangular The Show sign that was in 17.

Spoiler

2. Outfield LF & RF Wall LED Signage - At Kauffman, the LED boards extend further than what is currently in The Show. In The Show, there is a fixed graphic at the end towards the bullpen(s), but in reality, the LED board extends all the way to the bullpen edge. Only the last graphic, towards center field, is non-LED.

Spoiler

3. Grass Pattern - I love when the Royals mow the crown in to the outfield grass. But truthfully, it’s very, very rare and seeing it for every game in The Show makes it less special. I would prefer The Show had the much more common checker pattern for the field, and thick parallel lines in foul territory as the Opening Day 2017 picture shows.

Spoiler

4. Hall of Fame Glass Graphic - Every year, the Royals have some kind of Royals branding graphic applied to the HoF glass in left field. Also, for the past few years, they have the green Commerce Bank splash advertisement on the right side. Something that mimics this with Royals branding would be much better than the blank gray glass that The Show has had for years.

5. Upper Deck Advertisements - In The Show, these upper deck vomitories are solid concrete. However, in real life, the two big ones on the sides of the upper deck should have large (mostly blue) sponsor graphics on them. Also, at the top of the press box area are two long 'roof tops'. The Show has these as a plain color, but these should also be sponsored mostly blue.

Spoiler

6. Kauffman Stadium Broadcast Pitching Cam - It seems like the angle of the camera is just a bit off. The zoom is about right, but I think the camera needs to swing around to show a little bit more to the right. I think the focal length of the camera needs changed a little too, because you can see that the dirt circle around home plate runs off the left and right edges in the real broadcast. It's easiest to compare when you look at the advertisement panels on the backstop. It doesn't take away from the game, but as someone that watches most Royals games, and also plays loads of The Show each year, it's enough that I notice it and it takes away just enough from the realism.

Re: Player Personality & Stadium Atmosphere Help

At the Rogers Centre to many fans are still wearing more Red then Blue in MLB The Show 18!

Please update the fans and give them much more Blue shirts then Red!

Thanks

Re: Player Personality & Stadium Atmosphere Help

I doubt it'll get into '18, but the RF wall in Angel Stadium is being lowered for a new LED board. They're essentially just drawing a yellow line on it and saying anything hit above it will now be a home run.

Re: Player Personality & Stadium Atmosphere Help

I was holding onto a lot of these photos under the assumption that there would be official stadium and video board feedback threads this year, as there were last year. However, that clearly wasn't the case. Anyways, i'll provide my feedback for AT&T Park and the Oakland Coliseum here, with the hope that someone from SDS might be able to get them addressed for MLB 19 (I doubt anything from this post would make it into '18 considering the point in the development cycle).

AT&T Park

1. The Giants changed the middle portion of their video board layout.

2016 Layout:

2017 Layout:

2. The bench in the Giants bullpen should be removed.

3. The Giants added LED lighting to AT&T Park prior to the 2017 season.

Oakland Coliseum

1.The addition of a player's WAR and BABIP in the lower left hand corner of the video board.

Spoiler

2. The addition of the Rickey Henderson Field logo behind home plate and on the outfield walls (replacing the 2012-2013 division championship logos from MLB 17).

3. A number of ads were installed on the facing of "Mount Davis" in center field prior to the 2016 season (example one, two).

4. A large Cache Creek Casino Resort ad near the left field video board (zoom in a bit to see).

5. In real life, the Coliseum light towers are much, for lack of a better term, thinner, than they are in game.

6. The Bill King memorial logo above the broadcast booths.

7. Bill King plaque added to facing of the Plaza Level (first base side).

8. "Holy Toledo!" sign in right-center field. It lights up gold (as pictured) for home runs and wins, and displays a flag pattern during the singing of the anthem.

9. The removal of upper deck tarps in the main bowl. The tarps on Mt. Davis remain, though.

Re: Player Personality & Stadium Atmosphere Help

One more thing about the Coliseum: today, the A's released renderings of a new bar/patio area above the left field bleachers. It'll be called the Treehouse and be ready for Opening Day. Again, I doubt this will make it into '18 at this point in the cycle, but hopefully it will for '19

More info here.

Re: Player Personality & Stadium Atmosphere Help

I know it probably won’t be in The Show because of copyright issues and licensing costs, but hearing “Sweet Caroline” during the 7th inning stretch at Fenway would be a nice add.

That's what Sounds of The Show is for.

Re: Player Personality & Stadium Atmosphere Help

I'm sure it's too late now, but here's what the new Angel Stadium scoreboards and ribbon boards are going to look like.

Think there's any chance Arizona's bullpen cart makes it in?

Not a chance. Waaaayyyyy too late to add something entirely new to the game.

Re: Player Personality & Stadium Atmosphere Help

Judging by this video (which could be an older build obviously and may have changed since this was recorded) Suntrust Park got minimal updates to the back drop. The buildings look better and they added some trees, but some buildings are still missing in LCF from the looks of it.
