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

I think earlier he said if he wasn't responding to our posts then more than likely the answer to the question is no. Which is a bummer because that means they didn't fix a bunch of stuff in marlins park.

Marlins Park was addressed already, and most of the changes were made. A screenshot was even posted. Anyway, the wall color, batter's eye color, "Clevelander" bar, "42" symbol, the LF "Budwieser" sign, the shelf bar, skyline, the big yellow pillar down the RF line, and backstop were all updated. The top Marlin on the HR sculpture was even requested to face to the right. I even sent a final request to add the "Miccosukee" and "Pepsi" ads to the left of the jumbotron.

Slab, many thanks man. I was the one who posted the left field screenshot but I hadn't seen where the backstop was ever mentioned. That's great news.

Great Updates and details Slab (and all the CD attendees).

One thing I was wondering that I haven't seen mentioned yet was the new parks that have been added for Spring Training.

In the grand scheme of the game these aren't hugely important, but for me personally, I'm very interested in them as I tend to play alot of Exhibition games in the Spring Training parks until the first set of Knight's Rosters are available for download.

That being said, I'm curious if the parks added resemble any of the new ones that have popped up around the Grapefruit and Cactus leagues. For anyone that has made it down to the greater Phoenix area in the last couple of years for Spring Training, some of these facilities are beautiful.

Would be awesome to see them start getting included into the game in coming years.

Thanks Chikiboy, and glad you asked about the new stadiums. Even tho the focus was on the major league stadiums and getting replicated as close as possible, I did make it a point to look at the new stadiums.

They are very well done. Basically each artist created one stadium, and gave it their own "thing" for a lack of a better term. I think you guys will really like them! I don't know if there will be a blog on these so I won't get too in depth, but my favorite has to be one called "Iron Horse Stadium" - totally unique and awesome, IMO. And there is one that could definitely pass as a newer Cactus League type stadium (can't remember the name sorry.) I didn't check to see what teams they were attached to (cactus league teams or not), and they were all still listed under the minor league category when we were there.

The Temperatures at Rogers Centre need to be more accurate as concerned to Ontario's average summer temperatures.

Ex. After April the temperatures in May should be in the high 60's or 70's, moving into the summer the temperatures need to be in the 80's and 90's.

I believe this was adjusted to reflect more realistic temperatures.

I believe this was adjusted to reflect more realistic temperatures.

So for the Rangers we should see most day games in the 90s+?

I went over all your request with the artist for O.co and they are working on the non-structural things. It was too late in the game to move walls and stairs and stuff, but they do keep this info in a vault for next year. Those types of changes effect collision detection and have to be re-proofed. So don't expect those changes but stuff like signage, color changes, and even the upper deck open tarp section look to be feasible.

Thank you. Wasn't expecting any of the bigger things to be possibilities anyway, I'm glad they at least are aware of the issues now. Glad to hear that smaller things might make it in however!

Sorry, not on these consoles LD, but I'm very confident for PS4. Speaking of Safeco, I really like how it looks. Nice upgrades that were replicated very well in the game too. I think Mariners fans will really like it... that jumbotron looks insane!

Good stuff. Even just those top deck sections open will make a BIG difference.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply SLAB

I was expecting you to say 'no' so can't say I'm disappointed. Something about too much resources for covered/uncovered situations with Safeco and the other retractible roof parks, I think... Gives me something to look forward to with the Show for the next gen, as you point out.

I am looking forward to the Safeco upgrades though.

Hey SLAB....Were you able to get them to change the dugout club seats and wall behind them to the correct blue color in Dodger stadium before they finished the game?

Not before I left, but I did email it to the stadium artist on my way to the airport.

Awesome.... I really appreciate the extra effort man

At least there's a small chance the color changes made it in thanks to you
