Re: New Jumbotron Comparisons!
 

Like Christmas in Feb. for those who play as the Indians, Cardinals, White Sox, Twins, Mets, and Giants. Surprised they didn't include a side-by-side of Busch Stadium like they did in today's stream.

Here it is for those who haven't seen it.

Re: New Jumbotron Comparisons!
 

I don't know if we mentioned this in the stream or not, but our artist actually re-did nearly half of the MLB stadium jumbotrons this year, updating them to be similar to their 2016 layouts :)

Re: New Jumbotron Comparisons!
 

Thanks, it goes a long ways to help with the immersion factor.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Jumbotron Improvements
 

Yeah, a solid and much needed upgrade. Thanks.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Jumbotron Improvements
 

Yankee Stadium get any upgrades?

Re: MLB The Show 17 Jumbotron Improvements
 

I am anxiously awaiting to see if Citizens Bank Park got most of the upgrades that were needed :y220:

Nice. Never thought to ask. I'm about 20-25 miles north of Citizens Bank Park.

Yeah, Bird/Holliday replacing A-Rod/Tex
:D

Srsly? This looks the same even lighting wise and NO new sponsors? we've had the same type of ads for years?

Ive pre ordered so you cant say im NOT giving them my money but STILL

Id hope that some of the adwork sponsor work was revamped

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

well just like everything, they need permission from those companies to use their sponsors.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

I would be down for fake sponsors like they used to have.

I know just wishful thinking:(


I think the biggest thing this year visually is the faces and the skin tones and the way the lighting will correctly reflect... no more ghost like pasting so now it will look more as if they are outside in an environment rather than being slightly askew from the environment like last year

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

I can't wait to see this all year long, one year closer to in-game replays on the jumbotrons now, even if that won't happen until 2030 realistically.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

Not permission, any company would take free advertising. Those spots are paid advertisements.

I don't know how aggressive they are pursuing advertising but I'm also not sure what the market is for advertising within a game is. It always seemed strange to me that State Farm would advertise in a baseball video game but it looked good to me.

As previously mentioned though, I miss the fake advertisements they used to have.

The stadium advertising of KONAMI baseball game is excellent!!

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

it doesn't matter, they must get permission. or that company can simply sue SCEA, EVEN if it is advertising for said company. it is either they approach the company for permission or those companies approach SCEA to see if they can implement it into their game, however it is still the same thing. permission.

it is the exactly same thing with brand named gear. the devs had to get permission to implement those items into the game.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

But if they're getting the license for the equipment, why wouldn't they be able to get one for stadium ads? Can't imagine it would be too hard, why wouldn't a brand want to be advertised in a videogame stadium if their equipment and logo is already in the game? Seeing Nike and Adidas ads around the stadium would make them look so much better than sticking with the same 5 ads they've had repeated ad nauseum throughout the parks for years.

I know, am well aware of that. You completely missed my point.

I'm saying if they were to go to Pepsi and ask if they could put up Pepsi signs Pepsi isn't going to say no.

Those spots are spots that are paid for by the advertising company, not free ads with permission.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

i dont know how it all works, and you are correct, it probably wouldn't be too bad for them to ask adidas/etc if they can place adverts around as well(but only the devs can tell us how this would work). But with that said, getting a licence MAY cost money as well, and may be extra money to place ads into the game. who knows.

anyways, they could do what NBA2k does and place different dynamic ads around as 1 way of doing it as well. like when there is a sale in 2k for example they would have advertisements placed in spots where ads would normally be in RL.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

SCEA pays to have all that licensed equipment in the game. That's why it wasn't in the game until recently. And why some brands still aren't in the game. They haven't reached the terms needed to allow their product to be used.

And as far as advertising is concerned, real brands ask for money from the company to be shown within the game. Usually isn't the other way around. Only a few brands are willing to pay to be featured within a video game product.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

This is one of those areas that would benefit the Show and whatever sponsor was in game if no money had to change hands either way. After a few years of doing it that way, the Show could then become able to be choosy as to who they let in. and even charge for the right to do so.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

I brought this up a few years ago. Unfortunately there are legalities with having fake ads as well. Believe it or not. That's why we don't see many.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

I was always hoping for fake add, in the same color / style as the real ones.
But if what you say it's true then it's not going to happen.

Too bad, i really like all the work they do. I just don't like seeing too much of the same adds all the time. Somehow it makes the "total color" of the stadium look off (if that makes sense).
There's not enough variation.
But if it's a legal thing then it is what it is.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

Glad they made some improvements though I can't say I ever worried about the ads before.

Wow at that Konami advertisement screenshot!

Where some Rogers Centre love Sony?

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

Wish they could do something like NBA does in myteam. You can upload your own images onto things like the scorers table, floor, etc. I wish the could give us the ability to overwrite their fake adds with our own uploads in franchise and play now.

The stadiums in PYS were fantastic. One of several areas where PYS, even on PS3, had superior broadcast simulation over current gen The Show. See also player models (I'm amazed by what they were able to do on the PS3), camera cutaways (reminds me of international tennis TV direction: no need for constant quick cuts and a use of beautiful slow zoom/fade out shots) and proper intermittent light showers instead of unrealistic steady rain to name a few.

Can't say the jumbotron designs have ever really bothered me in The Show though. It's what goes on them that kills the immersion for me. The graphics they use on them look like clip art and don't really replicate the in-park experience at all. I'd prefer the boards remain static over the current implementation.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

At some point we'll get real adds I'm sure, just as it was with equipment. Huge discussion on here on why it's impossible until it wasn't anymore and everybody went quiet lol

I would not count on real adds being added into The Show anytime in the near future. Don't get your hopes up.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

They will not. To simply go out and negotiate the thousands of deals and pay all of that money just to get real billboard and add placement in a product that is attempting to make money would be a death sentence for a game.

Not to mention how a hefty portion of stadium advertising is focused around alcohol, that wouldn't fly in an E rated product.

Edit: RR beat me to it.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

Understandable, but what about user-customized ads a'la NBA 2K? Where you'd basically have preset pixel requirements on each advertisement area and let users upload their creations to those spaces.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

Ok so I don't think it'll be each and every real add from every team and ballpark in the game, but rather smth like in nba2K e.g., some real brands repeating in each stadium. I'm certain smth like this will happen at some point. Ppl will keep demanding it on here, others will tell them it's gonna remain impossible, ain't gonna happen, then one year scea will announce it as new feature and everybody will be happy.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

We have that now.

There are a few real ads in the stadiums that repeat. They aren't the right real ads that are actually in the real life venues, but they have Topps, State Farm, and others featured within the game.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Screenshots - Jumbotron Improvements
 

Yea but rather few, I'm thinking of an amount of adds to fill like 10 ballparks without a single one repeating.

Was Subway a real ad in the game a few years back or am I thinking of something else ?
