i RARELY nitpick but does anyone think the right field wall looks horrendously off?

It's not as bad as you think. It's just very dark. Take a close look at the RF wall and you can see the folded up stands.

C'mon man, we in here talkin' 'bout STADIUMS......not the game...not the game....we talkin' bout STADIUMS.....not the game.....not the game that I go out there and buy every year like it's my last...not the game.....we talkin' about STADIUMS man.... I mean, how silly is that....We talkin' about STADIUMS.....I'm not shoving it aside like it don't mean anything. I know it's important. I honestly do, but we talkin' about STADIUMS man. What are we talkin' about? STADIUMS??

Ok that was pretty funny. Again, my frustration is that they have, in house, a 2K team that developed excellent stadiums in The Bigs. None of that could come over to this project?

Buffalo's Dunn Tire Park is aweful in this game. You couldn't screw it up any much worse than they did!

Agreed, the few minor league stadiums they showed were really bland.

If they paid attention to detail like a lot of fans do, the game wouldn't ship until December. It would be like:

"Oops, Dice K's eyebrows are too dark. I gotta go in and change that."

"The stripes on the Yankees uniform are too close. Let me move them over a few millimeters."

"Aw man!! Who in the hell made his eye-black too thin!!!!!!"Oh well, gotta change it."

Think about it; If MLB 2k8 was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, and MLB 2k9 was the same, people would say "I'm not spending $60 on a freakin' roster update."

Wow, excellent point.

Has anyone else noticed that the mountains are on the wrong side of Coors Field?

Wow, that is just CRAZY!

That's not Dunn Tire Park...or is it?





Looks absolutely nothing like it. I mean, the buildings in the background kinda look like Buffalo, but other than that, it retains none of the features of the real stadium. There isn't a big wall in right field, the Big Board in right center is nowhere to be found, you can't see the highway in the background...I'm thinking this stadium's generic.

i would put money that BUF plays in one of the "generic" fields and dunn tire park isnt actually in the game. If one of the "authentic" minor league parks listed in the game is Dunn tire park, someone at 2k needs to pick a different career choice cause they are a little off the rocker.

KushGamer said that an entirely new team came on to redo the stadiums for 2K9. A lot of the blandness with the stadiums probably had to do with the inherited lack of talent than Brinkman got with the 2K series. KG even mentioned some frustrating conversations he had with the stadium artists.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 Screenshots - The Stadiums

The stadium in picture #97 has Potomac at home, and I checked pictures of their stadium, and there is no resemblance...so it appears as though that is one of the generic minor league stadiums as well.

Exactly. Its very encouraging that they realized they needed to redo the stadiums.

i hope they do. i hope that they dont come out wih some new grass exture technology and dirt technology and say thats how they improved the stadiums,etc. i hope they are dedicated to walls, ad placement, stadium exteriors,etc.

They're in the correct place. They don't look quite like that, they are too close, but the mountains are behind left field, just like in the pic.

This seems to be a popular response from Brinkman teams. Wait until next year for the completion of our master 3 year plan!
