FENWAY PARK CHANGES:

1. Remove the red sox logo from the infield (they had red sox logo in the infield in the 2007 world series thats the only time ive ever seen it)

Not that it matters but I believe the logo on the infield was introduced in 2004 for the WS. If I remember correctly, MVP 2005 had it there because of that.

you are correct it was in the infield in the 04 world series...regardless the last time it was in the infield was 07'...i think they do it for playoffs(which has been awhile unfortunitly) itd be cool if they had it the logo only in the playoffs not the regular season that would make me so hyped!

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

This is still from what I see in the Vita version.


I see that they added two new players to the LF Wall at Busch. Who are they? I'm guessing Yadi and Berkman. Can they make the players look like "ghosts" with their red highlighted?

Actually, one of them looks like Jaime Garcia. Shouldn't they be in numerical order from left to right? Jaime should come after Wainwright because 54 comes after 50.

Circled in yellow is concrete that needs to be painted green. Other than the concrete behind the Coke Scoreboard patio (which is in the write up), basically all the exposed concrete should be green. Except for the stairways/walkways were people walk.

Circled in black is an advertisement that is not in the game.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

Would you ask if they can make an imitation of Big Mac Land? Of course McDonalds won't sponsor and they can't use "Big Mac", but can't this team come up with some name? ASB used the term "Mac's Pad".

The warning track is also still to narrow in the game.

I also noticed that they did not addresses the LCD ribbons. These are all covered in the write up.

Circled in white is a structure still missing from the game, leaving a huge empty hole in LF. The building has one Bird on the Bat and under it says "Leftfield Landing" in the same font that "Busch Stadium" is written in.

Circled in yellow are more concrete areas that need to be green. And circled in black are more advertisements.

The game shouldn't be missing large sections of seating beside the walls in foul territory.

sydrogerdavid, I must admit you are most thorough in your observations and explanations! (that is a good thing, BTW)

I also just wanted to point something that I caught in the most recent CES videos, even though I do not expect any changes (or that is, the possibility of a change) because they are color-related.

I'm not going to point out what the color on the Chase Field walls should be, but I'd at least like to point out that the walls are all a uniform color in the real life stadium, whereas in The Show all of the walls (with the background wall of the scoreboard) boast inconsistent colors.

Observe the look in the video:




A, B, C, and D are all different colors from one another. In the real life stadium, they are all pretty much the same green, whatever green it is:




For the sake of argument, I wanted to re-post my picture comparison of my Photoshopped version of the color changes for Chase Field (image is from MLB 11: The Show), which probably means 12 currently has the same colors.



Again, I'm not nitpicking actual colors or anything, I'm just saying that the wall colors in-game simply aren't the same throughout the entire stadium in general. Actually, I'd be lying if I said it was all perfectly the same color in real life, but they are all very, very close.

You should see the write up.

The thing is, I don't want there to be any excuses as to why something that is in the stadium in real life, is not in the stadium in the game. I've played well over 500 games in this stadium since MLB 06: The Show and have grown sick of it looking like crap (to me anyway). After community day last year, I promised EnigmaNemesis that I would do something about it, instead of complaining about it. I even created two Flickr accounts to link all my pictures to the Show Nation threads.

Hopefully, everything in the writeup and in the Show Nation threads were/are addressed and the game version of Busch Stadium looks absolutely gorgeous. Ideally, the devs put a dent into this so by the time the PS4 comes around, they have so much info that Busch Stadium that it looks better than the newest stadiums.

Blzer,

It is because they are different textures (concrete, wood, metal, clothe, padding, etc.). And the light reflects differently based on the texture.

They can start off the same color "unlit". But when the lighting is applied the textures reflection properties will alter its look some.

Not arguing. Just giving insight as to why over the years of seeing engine tech, etc. for various game engines.

No problem, and I appreciate the clarification.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

I seriously hope Blzer's pics have been taken into account by the dev team. Chase and Target may be the strangest looking stadiums in the game. I mean, where did the colors even come from with the dirt at Chase? I am just asking by the way....

Anyway, still looking solid here. Sadly, I know the Vita took a lot of time to work on as well.

I would temper your expectations, especially if this is how you're going to present yourself. If there is not enough time to get it in, then it won't make it, no matter if your suggestions are 1 line or 1 thousand.

They can't get to everything - so while your suggestions are great in detail and number, there are plenty of other fans who have the same expectations over what is ideally a large number of trivial points.

But I'm sure the CD guys focusing on this will love going over every nook and cranny....

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

Hey y'all. It's been a little whole but I hope you all had a great holiday season! I'm not sure this had been addressed but something minor to consider for Turner Field. Glavine's retired 47 should be red like Maddux's 31 as opposed to the current blue coloration. Also, Bobby Cox's 6 should be added in the same color as the two mentioned. Sorry if it's a repeat. Thanks!

Cubs are changing the right field bleachers into a padio. Please get it into the show in time if possible.
