Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

Anyone who looked at AT&T Park know if they did anything with McCovey Cove at night (i.e. "black water" issue)?

Thanks for the earworm, Blzer. :wink:

A couple more questions for Slab. I was also wondering about a few little tweaks that would also add to the authenticity:

1. At CoPa, Jim Leyland is ALWAYS perched on his front row seat next to Lamont and McClendon. The game shows him on the bench at CoPa. He always sits next to the steps right against the fence.

2. Any chance of adding the Standing Room Only crowd on both sides of the fountain?

3. Are they going to add Tom Brookens to the game? Is there a reason he is not in it?

4. Please tell me the fixed Alex Avila's broadcast and PA name, he is an All-Star now. For those that don't know it's pronounced A-vee-la. His father and grandfather use the Ah-va-la.

Thanks for your hard work.

No problem at all. I had great interactions with these guys, and they definitely want to push authenticity to the max.

As for these things:

1. I knew that, but didn't request it because there isn't really manager specific logic. However, with the new camera cuts you will see the managers in different areas of the dugout. I did see Leyland hanging over the rail on one occasion. I will definitely note it tho for next year.

2. I will ask about this, I agree that it would add more realism. As it stands, there are just a few fans walking around on the concourse. I will see if they do what they did in AT&T standing room only.

3. I didn't check this. I faintly remember Brookens being in the game before, but he disappeared after one of the roster updates. I will definitely pass it along.

4. Again, I totally forgot to check for this. I remember being so impressed with how they had Alex's shadow beard, I stopped listening lol. I will make mention of it tho.

From a memory standpoint, as a CSCI student myself, I know it would be hell to add much to the crowd at this point the PS3 is just about done here folks and adding anything more in that line will require some incredible coding work.

Thanks again Slab, I think Alex has had that shadow beard since the 5th Grade.

Yankee Stadium

I was wondering if these updates were included in Yankee Stadium this year:

1. Netting over monument park in center field

2. Does the train move

3. In the visitors bullpen the back wall is blue with ads on it (not a plain white wall)

If not can these be added in at this point? Thanks

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

I'm not even a White Sox fan, but I remember that U.S. Cellular has always had the backstop portion behind homeplate completely wrong. It's not proportional to the crowd nearly the same way it is in real life and there is way too much foul territory between home plate and the backstop. This is all-to-evident when playing with the behind the pitcher view.

Was just wondering if this was fixed or if anyone even noticed.

Thanks!

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

Any updates on Camden Yards that y'all are aware of?

The thing I am still not sure about is the color of the ad boards behind home plate. In last year's game they had green padding around them, which is wrong, it should be a brown/clay color that blends in more with the bricks on the backstop.

I PM'd Russell to point this out, along with the correction to the size of the ads on the outfield wall in CF, and the ad sizes were fixed (evident in the first screens of the new default hitting cam). I was hoping the backstop was fixed also, and was wondering if any other modifications/touch-ups were made to the ballpark.

Question!

There are some inconsistencies from stadium to stadium in MLB 11 The Show and past versions. I have noticed in some of the stadums like The Milwaukee Brewers Miler Park for example it is missing the "Cleat Cleaner" on the Pitchers Mound. While other stadiums do have the "Cleat Cleaner" on the Pitchers Mound. Why are only some stadiums missing the "Cleat Cleaner" on the Pitchers Mound?

Also why do none of the stadiums have that White Bag thing that is full chalk for better grip with the ball on the Pitchers Mound? I think its called a "Rosin bag". That other baseball game has it on their Pitchers Mound in their game if you would like to see what I am talking about.

This is just a guess but since I have heard that Sony will be upgrading the Grass for MLB 13 The Show will they also be able to add the "Cleat Cleaner" and "Rosin bag" to the Pitchers Mound in every stadium aswell? I am thinking that the "Rosin bag" and "Cleat Cleaner" is some how tied to the Grass and dirt?

Last thing I noticed that some of the Pitchers Mounds in the stadiums have the teams logo on them. However in real life not every stadium has it. For example Citizens Bank Park in real life has no team logo on the Pitchers Mound but its there in MLB 11 The Show.

Can you please ask Sony if they can update every stadium to include the "Rosin bag" and "Cleat Cleaner" and also remove the team logo from any Pitchers Mound that does not have it in real life?

I am sure this is to late for MLB 12 The Show but if you could pass this info along to Sony now maybe they can get this done for MLB 13 The Show.

You can see all the Pitcher Mounds inconsistencies here http://www.pastapadre.com/2011/03/05...lb-11-the-show

As you can see some have the "Cleat Cleaner" and some don't. And none of them have the "Rosin bag". And everyone has the team logo which does not reflect real life stadiums.

Thanks for reading.

P.S. I know this is nit picking but with all the great accurate upgrades the stadiums are getting in MLB 12 The Show I was thinking why not make them even more accurate by adding these small little details.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

Hey En, this is small upgrade but a big one in my view. I noticed the "s" on the scoreboard is not correct. It has the block "s" from before 2010, the new "s" is a sorta pointy, I do have pics.

I believe the stadiums have already been locked.

So please just gather information when the game comes out. And post in the thread for next year when it goes up.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

That's what you notice? I think the fact that it doesn't have the white outline is a bigger issue to me. That's what I saw immediately.

Just now for the record - I didn't spend any time in this area.

So true. It's a lot closer in real life.

If we are talking about the Twins sign, it does have it. I think the lighting is playing a role.

Well if you notice, the lighting poles look dark as well, so I'm thinking that they really are white, and the sun is just behind the scoreboard or something (as opposed to the real life photo).
