Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

The Tigers released a picture/design of their new HD scoreboard that they are putting it over their old one. Will this be in the game, or are the guys just finding this out like everybody is.

Won't be in the game. I knew about it when I was at CD, but no one (outside of the Tigers organization) knew what it would look like, until today. I even scoured about beforehand, trying to get some idea of what was to come, with no luck.

Actually, I'm not too sure how I feel about the new design. Too many distracting ads, IMO. And they took away the clock and block letter "TIGERS"... hopefully this artist rendering is not coming across well.

Here are some pics of the progress at CoPa. Also, some interesting pics of the Tigers that were on top of the scorebaord. They took them down and had them sitting on the I-275 service drive for a few days. I think they are in Connecticut now being 'spiffied' up. You can get an idea of just how large they are... just imagine riding down the highway and seeing that in your rearview! LOL

I've never seen that "Tigers" script before. What they're doing to that scoreboard is terrible. Besides the vast outfield (which itself was reduced early last decade), the scoreboard was a signature of the ballpark. Hopefully that rendering is just a ten minute Photoshop job, because that looks horrible.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

This stuff is getting to me. Last night I had a bad dream where Busch Stadium was ruined instead of improved. It can't exactly describe it, but that dream made me feel miserable. That railing above the scoreboard, instead of changing it's color to black, they removed it. The clock, the neon birds, everything. There were lots of other things that ruined it, I just can't remember.

I guess this is to tell me, even though not all the changes I want are in the game, it could be a lot worse.

The scoreboard is far from a signature of the park, especially not in Detroit. It's just a scoreboard, nothing amazing, nothing bad, just a scoreboard. They are not doing ruining any sentimental memories by changing it, very few people liked it in the first place.

People have done nothing but complain about how ugly the scoreboard is since the park opened, so I don't make much of this "not looking good" stuff. The ads are huge like they used to be, but it never bothered me before.

Still, adding an HD video screen is awesome. I've been to Turner Field and it's awesome. Not many things could make me enjoy Comerica anymore than I already do, but this is one. It will be very cool and it is already made a lot of fans show excitement.

I mean they could have a huge, ugly, dry erase board in LF to keep my score, but as long as the skyline is still standing overlooking the park, it will always be a great place to be.

Overall it just makes it an even better place to catch a game.

Definitely needs less ads, particularly the 2 at the top. True, there's no real sentimental attachment to that scoreboard, and I see where they are going with the cursive font up top (i.e. Phillies, Indians, etc.) - Detroit is not a cursive type of city though. As a Detroit native, I would have preferred a more 'blue collar' font... or at least the Tigers cursive font that was actually used on media and whatnot.

Like I said, it could be that the artist rendering is just not coming across very well. In that picture, they upgraded the screen (which is awesome and very much needed), but they also increased the ad space usage

I couldn't agree more with this.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

I understand the complaint about ads, but for me personally, I would never look at that scoreboard and pay any mind to the ads. If I'm sitting at a game, having a great time, totally into the game, I'm watching the game, checking stats on the scoreboard, there could be a poster of Justin Bieber and I wouldn't notice/care about it. That type of stuff doesn't bother me at a baseball game.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

Shame the Cubs right field wont be in the game. Will feel like a pretty big eye sore all year if it indeed is ready for the season. Looks like construction has started so it will be sad watching games on tv then playing games on the PS3 this year.

Have the devs ever patched in stadium changes before?

Wow, I didn't know that I struck a nerve. Many people who attend Major League games do notice the little things about the stadium. While adding an HD board is great, doing so without respect for the old board makes it look out of place and out of character. Why is the "Tigers" slant so deep to the right? Why is there so much "white space" on the ads with the board? It seems like management is looking for places to make more money with it.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

Other than the functional Bucco Blast counter, were any improvements made to PNC Park or the backdrop of the city of Pittsburgh? Any information would be greatly appreciated

Bump for updates

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

Have any upgrades been made to Miller Park? Even more specifically, removing the non-existent lower level luxury boxes and improving the lighting during day games.

Alright just saw this a day or two ago. There isn't a thread created for Stadium upgrades for MLB 13 so I decided to post it here.

Anyway the Twins are adding some right field bleachers. It would be sweet if SCEA could get this into 13.


EDIT: For some reason the link has an error. I'm not sure how to get it working but it's right on the front page of the Twins website.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

Unless a mod or dev want to create a MLB 13 thread, you should probably post the new stuff in this link.
