    Best stadium representation in this game

    Which stadium in this game do you guys think is the most accurate? I've never been to Shea, but it's my favorite stadium in this game along with Wrigley. Wrigley is decent, but the center field area is really off. Has anyone here been to Shea? If so, how well did The Show nail it? Something about it is just so classic. I love hitting a home run down the right field line there. Baseball bliss. The new Mets stadium just sucks compared to Shea.

    Busch stadium is pretty dead on. The green tents in the outfield plaza are there, the skyline is dead on for the most part. Although off the top of my head I don't think the arch is in the skyline behind the outfield. With that being said I can't remember if it is in the game either. For the most part though very accurate.

      They really nailed Target Field, but I think I read somewhere that they used all new technology to get it "right" this year, since it's a new stadium and they didn't have it in their system yet. It's about as good as it gets, I just don't really like playing there since I'm the Twins and am burned out on it.

        I think PNC park, home of the Pirates. I spent about 10 min just camming around looking at details and it looks just as beautiful in the game as it does in rl

          Yankee Stadium looks pretty good this year, just a few minor adjustments and it would've of been dead on.

            Ya they got Target Field pretty near perfect. All they really need to do is light up the Minnie and Paul sign during night games and show the sign flashing and shaking hands after a HR or win. Also the Twins have fireworks.

            As for the structure its perfect. The skyline for the most part is correct. I live in MN and I have been to five games so far this year and in LF there are glass windows in the structure just left of the foul pole. Well in one of those glass windows is an office. If I'm not mistaken that office is in The Show. Pretty damn cool! They also have the hat store building in the LF lower deck. The Show didn't put a name on it or anything but I know exactly what store it is because I've been there. They must have used that new technology because the stadium is done so darn well.

              The arc is in the game. But I have to disagree with you on Busch being dead on. There are many things wrong with the game version. Such as, the grass and flowers on top of the outfield wall. They are not in the game. The arc field pattern and a recognition of Big Mac Land are not in the game. I could go on and on, but this isn't a complaint thread.

                I LOVE how the ivy at Wrigley is brown at the beginning of the year and turns green as the season progresses.

                  The arch isn't in the skyline in real life though is it? I thought the arch is a little north of the stadium, could be wrong though. I didn't mention big mac land because there wouldn't be anything commercial put in there. They could've done a Big Mark sign or Mcland or something like they do with the coca cola logos.

                    Shea is done very well in this game, but you're nuts saying it's better than the New Shea (eff calling it Citi Field). I just sit and watch a game there and feel at home in real life. I think they can make it bigger though. I just played a series in Colorado and seemed like a larger field than the New Shea. New Shea is MASSIVE in person. Either way, it's a win win with either Shea. GO METROPOLITANS

                        As a Cardinals fan I can easily say that the Arch is in the outfield skyline in the game and in real life. Just for proof though...

                          Can it be seen from ground level though? That photo is taken from significant elevation.

                              Rogers Center/Skydome looks pretty spot on, don't see anything wrong with it.. they even added the lights to the CN Tower in nights which's cool.. too bad it doesn't change colors like it does IRL.

                              It would be cool if they added the feature when they load the game in MLB 2k8 I believe, they would show the outside of the stadium.. then inside the building, the food/store area and see fans walking by.. all that ****.. that was probably one of my favorite feature of that game.
