Rebranding questions including budget

Re: Rebranding questions including budget

I am 21 games into my franchise regular season where I have re-branded the Washington Nationals into the Montreal Expos where my home stadium is the Old Miami stadium and here are three observations.

1) The Old Miami stadium will show the main Expos logo in the "on deck" section between the plate and the dugouts and this is the only obvious place in the stadium where any logos will appear. Now the Old Miami stadium is a bit of dump, but so is the Olympic Stadium (the stadium the Expos used to play at), so as far as I am concerned it is a good MLB stadium to use if you don't want to see any other team's logos.

2) The announcers and public address announcers in the game will never call you the "Montreal Expos". Most of the time they call you the "Expos" but sometimes they so refer you to as "Montreal". But never both names. Plus I am assuming this would apply to any other city and nickname you use, not just when you re-brand a team to be the Expos.

3) Heidi Watney will never appear in your home games. She only appears when you are playing a road game and when she does appear she only talks about the home team, your opposition.

Thank you for your response. I will check out old Miami, I just don't like the colors of the stadium.

Heidi Watney does appear at MLB ballparks for the Expos home games. I have played at Globe life and Petco and she was their for my (Expos) game and talked about the Expos. I have not seen her in the minor league ballparks for the Expos and I have played 1 game at Crosley Stadium and I don't think she was there. At Crosley Stadium there was no Expo branding at all any where in the stadium.

Perhaps Heidi doesn't like the colors of the Old Miami stadium.

So I rebranded the expos and choose Miami stadium. My expos logos were on each side behind homeplate. Then I played a game and at stadium select, I chose old Yankee Stadium and my logos for expos were there too. But the big Yankee logo behind home plate still exists. So try to find a stadium with limited logos..hence the old Miami.

Just bumping this to say that "The Porch" is also a stadium that takes your fictional team's logo and puts it along the baselines.

It's also probably one of the more "major league" looking minor league parks (big scoreboard, rotational ad scoreboard behind the plate, reasonablely large looking crowds ..). Of course there are MILB banners on some of the walls, but other than that it's a decent choice.

Re: Rebranding questions including budget

That's not entirely true. I used mostly the minor league stadiums for my rebranded league (all 30 teams).

The Dallas team has their logo in foul territory. They are in Crystal Falls stadium. I haven't played games in all other parks to check, but potentially there are others where it picks up team branding.

Oh my bad if that's true, I hadn't seen that with my rebranded team. Maybe I'm using the wrong stadium choice.
