LOL! thats silly to say. If PNC took something out after the game is realeased thats no ones fault nothing anyone can do. But if its there or not there in time to adjust for the next game then it should be in the game.

Okay... then the next great philosophical question: If a tree falls in the forest near PNC Park as they're putting next year's game together, would people see it? Should it be in or out of the game, is what I'm saying?

And I bet the reason 2k8 didn't do the crane moving in the background is because you will probably be playing the Show, and be in the 2012 season and the crane will still be swinging the background. I don't know this for sure, but i haven't read anywhere that there is progressive backdrops to the show, as in they will have a finished scenery...

Very good point that would look a little ridiculous. I just hope that 2k8 is a good game. I want a good owner mode. Owner mode is extremely fun if they can fix bugs and what not.

Hey, no, I think it's great we can have these debates! Makes the time fly as we wait for... jeez, I've forgotten the name of this game now, it's been so long since we've seen any info.

That applies to amateur trolls and baiters. But are master trolls better or worse than master baiters?

Excuse me while I make sure that someone didn't turn off the sarcasm alert. Be right back.

Re: No CitiField at Shea Stadium in MLB 2K8

I only got through 4 - 5 pages of this thread, but just keep in mind that it is not impossible for the developers to design "updates" within a franchise without having to do any downloads. If you play All Star Baseball (dating back to 2003), a few teams would move to new stadiums through the course of a franchise. Hell, even Interplay Sports Baseball 2000 for PlayStation correctly moves the Seattle Mariners from the Kingdome to Safeco Field in the middle of the season at the exact date that they did in real life. Now if that isn't impressive, then it's standard... and if it's standard, then it can be done.

That said, I think SCEA has the power to put in these little updates, but I don't think they did (or thought of it). Maybe it's not that important to warrant little changes like that, especially if they don't eventually have them move into the future stadium the following year in franchise. As for 2K, if you asked them why they didn't put it in, they would give the excuse that it would just be sitting there as a static image for your entire franchise. That is a response saying that they were lazy. Like I said, updates can be done, as well as moving to different fields.

Besides, most stadiums look much cooler with that kind of stuff in the background, even if it's permanent. Play WSB 2K1 and play at Milwaukee County Stadium to see Miller Park in the background. Without it, the stadium looks "blah".

I'm defending the side of the OP, not necessarily because he has a valid point, but because I am a stadium nut. I'm still pissed to this day that the leaders of this franchise are Dodgers and Yankees fans, and don't know a thing about AT&T Park's right field stands like the rest of you guys that haven't walked it before. It's not just like a strip of standing room... it's three rows of bleachers plus a 25 - 30 foot wide walking area behind it... then leading down to the 25 - 30 foot wide portwalk below, then the water. But that hasn't been updated for eight years of the stadium's existence. I can't believe that MLB Power Pros has splash hits and 2K-whatever does not.

2K, stadiums are very important to many people. You have designers specifically in that department. Did they get lazy after building the new Nationals Stadium? What will happen when they have to build two new NY stadiums? It's important that stadium detail is accurate, because I know there are many cases where people might jumpship to the "other" game, like myself.

Not to mention, not many 2K8 guys run over there and nitpick'ed at The Show before a demo came out, much like The Show fans have been doing over here, over and over the past week or so. The mods have the locked threads here to prove it.

If you really want to step back and judge the situation, I'd say part of the reason "not many 2K8 guys run over there and nitpick'ed at The Show before a demo came out" is because they went out and bought a PS3 and are enjoying the demo.

Just like this forum, the mods have the locked threads there to prove it.

With that said, giving this game a pass for not updating their stadiums shouldn't be seen as "Show fans coming over here and griping." 2k should be updating their stadiums more frequently considering they paid for the "exclusive" MLB license. Is that a lot to ask? There are other stadiums that need minor changes as well.

It's all about authenticity.

Re: No CitiField at Shea Stadium in MLB 2K8

Well like I said if it doesnt update during your season. I don't want it. I love the other game very much, but after awhile if I was the Mets. I would get tired of seeing the same crane moving over and over again.

Well if you're going to watch any REAL Met telecasts....you'd better get used to it, the stadium will be getting worked on until AFTER the 2008 season(and you never know about construction delays)....so you'll see those cranes all season long as they will probably be using them to hoist the seating sections in one by one.

......and like I said earlier....by the time the cranes are out.....I should be finishing maybe my second season in the franchise and it will be time for the 2009 version of the game and I'll be playing IN Citifield....so..

...Pepsi/Coke right?
