    I was just making the point that I know what I'm looking at- that's all.
    Thanks though.

    Even if I was wrong however, I don't know exactly how that progressed the discussion...

      Yeah, so far all the pics/videos I've seen so far show a Fenway from like 3-4 years ago. And nothing from this years 2K8 has changed from last years 2K7, and I even highly doubt that it has even changed much from 2K6, and that's bad. Fenway just got rid of the Coke bottles on the light tower in left field, and they are about to replace them with something else, but has not been put up yet. They still have not put up Conigliaro's Corner (a set of bleachers)out in right field near Peskie's Pole. As well, there are all new sections that have been improved on the first and third base sides. We can only hope that what we've seen so far is an early build and 2K will be fixing and tweaking Fenway as well as all other stadiums that need updating. 2K needs to realize that MLB stadiums get facelifts every year. Later

        What in the world are you talking about? He said he watches 90-110 Sox games a year. He didn't say they were all home games!!

          2K is TERRIBLE with stadiums. Some stadiums haven't been touched since 2K5, it's just pathetic. For a game that looks so beautiful, they have really bland stadiums.

            Well, the guy was talking about how Fenway looked so it didn't make sense to say he watched 110 Red Sox games a year if he's talking about how Fenway looks.

            He should have said something like 70 out of the 81.

              Oh man i couldnt agree more, its probably caused they WASTED THERE TIME WITH MINOR LEAGUE STADIUMS!!!. Im sorry maybe im am the only one, but what would you rather have Updated Stadiums, all the little nuonses, or a bunch of minor league stadiums that honeslty i and some other people probably wont see half of them. I think its such a bad move on 2k's side.

                It made perfect sense, he stated how many games he watches a year. Is he supposed to sit there and do the math to approximate how many of those games are home games?

                No. He said he watches 90-110 Red Sox games a year. Anybody with common sense can understand his point. To point out that teams only play 81 home games was stupid. He never said he watched 90-110 home games!

                  Like I said I don't care. I thought you didn't like this game anyway.

                    What on earth are you talking about? When did I ever say I didn't like the game, I haven't even played it yet.

                      2k7 wore me out with its poor stadiums. The Show did better with the stadiums on psp. I don't know why, but accurate stadiums is very important to me.

                        I appreciate the back up- you summed up my thoughts on all that nicely! Especially from a guy whose G-men totally whooped my Pats' arses! Great game by those guys!

                        Now back on topic... I'm really hoping that this game has been improved since some of the looks we've had lately.

                          2k7 had Fenway nailed to a tee


                          i think all the stadiums we're spot on

                          and to the guy who said the PSP show had better stadiums, i also like how The Show totally F'd up Varitek wearing a RED catchers helmet

                              Well the Wakefield knuckleball pic for The Show has Fenway looking VERY bland. Wake and his grip look awesome ... the park looks very bland and not very detailed in the stands.

                              I would worry until the game is out. There is no way the stadiums would take a step back from last year, it just wouldn't make sense.... they even added the advertising signs behind home plate now.

                                Oh, so the negative comments were actually you talking the game up. Got it.
