Seriously, I just want more diversity in the in-game ads. All the current ones are pretty much the same colors(red, blue, white). I don't think there are any that are green, yellow, purple, etc. I just want more diverse looking ads, even if they're fake. It adds more color to the stadium.

To get real sponsors would probably take a lot of money.

I would also like to see more fake sponsors.

You would think there would to be a way to solicit advertising to be in a game where the company had to pay to be put in instead of vice versa.

Personally I would like to see them capitalize more on the generic ads and use them in the presentation more. When you watch sporting events every report is sponsored by someone. In the Show for example, have San Diego studios be the sponsor for the weather report at the beginning of the game, have Sony sponsor the Pre Game pitching matchup, Have ACME insurance be the sponsor for the break out player of the game. It does not need to always be known brands.

From the fact sheet it appears there will be brand sponsorships within your franchise that enhance the in game presentation. I'm interested to see what that is about.

I'm not all-together sure Sony would be PAYING for ad partners... it could easily be the other way around. If so, I'm confident smaller companies would be THRILLED to have their brand in The Show for nothing (MAX Bats, Nokona gloves, one of 500 energy drink brands, bubble gum brands, etc). My guess is there is a price tag for these brands to get involved.

I also agree that better fake ads would suffice. I love Super Mega Baseball's ads. Tongue in cheek and pretty well designed!

Exactly!

We don't even really need real ads we just need a lot more variety of ads in all the stadiums. I hate seeing the same ads over and over again in every stadium.
