- Have they added Whitey Herzog's 24 and Tony LaRussa's 10 to the retired numbers under the scoreboard in right center-field at Busch Stadium?

- Any chance that they added the Arch mowed into the outfield grass at Busch?

U.S. Cellular Field needs to fix the outfield design on the left side of the pattern. The right side with the brick and concrete design are properly displayed, while the left side is all one solid color without any definition. The same goes for the Bullpen Sports Bar in right field line. Also, if MLB 13 The Show cannot present current players on the outfield walls of U.S. Cellular Field or Busch Stadium. Not only is this unrealistic on a high degree, but it makes it impossible to feel like the home team when your stadium shows the players on opposing teams (when playing a franchise mode fantasy draft). I would rather show no players than see current players.

Can you make sure Turner Field is fixed? It was totally screwed up in last year's game. In MLB 12 when it was dark some of the letters in 'Welcome To Turner Field. Home Of The Atlanta Braves' were missing. Here's the issue.



If I remember correctly it was an issue with how the shadows were working in the game causing problems and Turner Field was the only stadium that was having these issues. Hope it's been fixed!

That's ULTRA REALISM! Sometimes, lightbulbs burn out!

*Warning! Warning!* Major O.co/Oakland Coliseum Issues Inbound!

Images will be spoilered for size.

=[Updated 4PM PST 1/6/13: "Dimensions in general" section added]=

There are major issues with the outfield fences

Corners
The corner fences are waaaay too small in horizontal length (not height). Many aspects of the park are affected by this. I would estimate that a good 15-20 feet of the wall horizontally is missing. Because of this, the bleachers/patio behind each corner wall have been shrunk so there are no seats inside of the foul poles (one whole section missing), and the sign behind the wall is incorrectly placed. The wall in-game appears to slant away from home plate at a much steeper rate than in real life (don't have a good reference photo, however), which eliminates available space behind the wall and prematurely starts the out-of-town scoreboard area inside of 367. Since the fences are symmetrical, the problem exists on both sides, but also means a fix for one size = a fix for both sides, so that much is good. Unfortunately, since this error affects the rest of the outfield fence, a complete re-do of the fences (and maybe of the entire outfield stands) would probably be needed to fix these problems.

Spoiler

Real life:


This one is actually from a bit long ago, but the stands/patio are the same.


In-game:

Out-of-town Scoreboards

Both out-of-town scoreboards in the outfield are too small (again in horizontal length, not height). Also, the placements of the scoreboards are not correct due in part to the botched corner fences, in that in-game they start too close to the foul line. The scoreboard takes up pretty much the entire jut-in from the 367 to 362 with the exception of 1 or 2 panels on the inside of the 367. If the corners are fixed so they go out further, this will hopefully fix itself. Also the facade above the scoreboard is too big (very minor). The longer scoreboard should also allow for more space in between letters and numbers just like real life.

Spoiler

Real life:

Yellow lines represents the straight line wall from the 367 to 362, and as the distance suggests, the wall actually cuts in a bit.

Green lines are the approximate starting points for the out of town scoreboard in relation to the stands above it.

Red line is the short 1 or 2 panels of wall between the end of the out-of-town scoreboard and 367.



In-game:





Facade

Real life


In-game

Dimensions in general
As you will see in the pictures below, the curvature of the fences is off. In-game it juts out from the foul line and then is pretty much a straight line from 367 out to the 388 mark. IRL, inside of 367 it juts in and out and is by no means a straight line. Because the fences are not curved correctly, the stands behind them are not in the correction position, either.

Spoiler

Real life: (thank you to sydrogerdavid for this)


In-game:

More minor things

The second deck is not moved in enough, and does not extend far enough near the outfield corners because of the messed up walls.

This is from the 3D seating thing on the A's website, simulating where you would be in the corner of the second deck in the outfield. Approximate placement that it should be in-game I will draw in the overview thing later on.

Spoiler

"Athletics" wall logo

Spoiler

Mt. Davis Tarps

Spoiler

EDIT: Just noticed that "Athletics" IRL takes up 3 sections, while in-game it takes 4 and is therefore off-center.

Real life: (Notice tarp coverings between sections. All other rows between sections are uncovered.)


In-Game:

Value deck & backstop

Spoiler

Overview of some basic stuff I've gone over. Someone needs to hook me up with an accurate stadium dimensions map for the Coliseum so I can do this more precisely!

Spoiler

This took me a LONG *** time to put together and I know it's pretty incomplete, confusing, and unofficial, but I had to get this out there at least. I will update as I see fit.

Here's to change!

Re: Community Day 2013 - Stadiums - Questions/Concerns/Inquiries

Have the fences been brought in at Safeco field? They're doing other renovations too but that's going to be one of the storylines of 2013, the new dimensions at Safeco field.

Re: Community Day 2013 - Stadiums - Questions/Concerns/Inquiries

Will the rock waterfall at Angel stadium finally have some texture rather than just being a big brown blob?

It's such a nice feature in real life but looks terrible in the game.

Re: Community Day 2013 - Stadiums - Questions/Concerns/Inquiries

I have been asking and suggesting this change for 3-4 years now, and I've never seen it happen...

US Cellular Field needs the LCD SCREEN on the Fandeck that SHOWS STATS. A couple year ago the game finally added the LCD screen, but ever since it's just shown the team logo on it. In reality, it looks like this.....




And actually, funny enough, when I was googling that image, I came across my post from LAST YEAR (2 days from a year exactly) discussing this very same detail... http://www.operationsports.com/forum...post2041997330

lol

This.... And Fireworks after a White Sox win. Please!

Can you please confirm if the water cannons shoot off at AT&T park when the Giants hit a HR? Thank you!

Re: Community Day 2013 - Stadiums - Questions/Concerns/Inquiries

Ah, the new HD scoreboard at CoPa.

Delicious!

It is missing two things:

1. The Tigers on top should have lights aimed at them (I thought I saw this on an earlier video)

2. The bottom board which shows pitcher info should be in color, not gold lettering, with a headshot of the current pitcher.

Also small detail, as Cabrera rounds 3rd Gene Lamont congratulates him. In reality, fat man is now the bench coach and Tom Brookens is the new 3rd base coach. Please put real Tom in the game and not the generic one, or at least a gray haired coach.

Re: Community Day 2013 - Stadiums - Questions/Concerns/Inquiries



You can see the pitchers info with Lester balls strikes total and K count, please put this in. And the lights pointed at the Tigers.

Re: Community Day 2013 - Stadiums - Questions/Concerns/Inquiries

Will Petco Park include the new renovations (new outfield dimensions and visitor bullpen moved next to home bullpen)?

Re: Community Day 2013 - Stadiums - Questions/Concerns/Inquiries

In MLB 12 I believe dirt would kick up when you hit the warning track at Rogers Centre. In real life the warning track is actually a different color of turf (unless they have changed it recently) and should not kick up dirt when fielders run on it.

Re: Community Day 2013 - Stadiums - Questions/Concerns/Inquiries

I'm sure this has already been noted by The Show dev team, but the Twins are adding a small party deck and section of seats to RF by the foul pole.

Also it would be sweet if a dog or some sign could be added on the Target Center. The 3 should also be removed from the water tower (sadly, RIP Harmon). Other than that I can't think of a whole lot more. Last year everything that needed to be changed up was and not a whole lot else has changed at the stadium. Thank you SCEA! As always you guys do an unreal job.
