How The Show Can Embrace Baseball's History

Jesus...what I would give to have Veteran's Stadium in the game.

I love the post and the ideas being shared on this thread. I also would be willing to pay for the additional content if done correctly.

To help pay for the expensive licenses, would people contribute if SCEA started a Kickstarter or other crowdfunding campaign? They could set it up where if you contribute "x" amount to the campaign (maybe $25-$50?) you get the additonal content free when it is released.

Otherwise, it sounds like SCEA would have to put up a huge initial investment in this mode, before seeing any returns or guarantees it will sell at all.

All Star Baseball (Akklaim) did a great job with historical stadiums/uniforms a DECADE ago, damn shame that no one else picked up the torch. They had a Negro League All Star team and some other nice touches like pitchers wearing jackets on the basepaths, Wrigley Ivy changing colors thru the season, Rule V draft (fake players, but still). I think there was an unlockable interview with Buck O'Neil talking about his experiences in the Negro Leagues. The game play left a lot to be desires, but ASB was the game that most paid homage to this sport's history.

Has anyone been able to confirm if classic stadiums are in the ps4 version this year?

It would be truly amazing to see what the osfm folks could do with a real historic roster on the show. Authentic teams/jerseys/stadiums from certain eras. Would be really cool to see it all done


Also would love to play in the kingdome with the 95 Ms, now THAT would be freakin awesome

I used to love playing with the classic stadiums in ASB and MVP. I would adjust the color on my TV so it would be black and white to replicate the way I always saw the parks on TV. This is definitely one area The Show is lacking. I never bought any of those stupid "get good fast" points they sell but I would buy PSN after PSN card to fund classic stadium DLC.

And I also agree, the Kingdome with a 90's Mariners team would be amazing! Hopefully we could get something like that right as Jr goes into the Hall.
