    Video Game Football on Baseball Diamond

    As I watched the Raiders & Dolphins play the last few weeks on the baseball dirt path (in stadiums shared with baseball clubs), I seem to recall there were some video football games of the past that captured this. I am almost sure that Tecmo Bowl III had an option that allowed you to play over a baseball field.

    But I can't recall if Madden or 2K (or Fever or other) ever had this. Did they???

    Just wondering.

    I know for sure Madden had it (back when they had progressive lighting).

      PS2-era Madden had the baseball diamonds in the appropriate stadiums, I think (I'm pretty sure I recall Miami and Oakland specifically having them). Not positive, though.

        I still have Madden '03 for Xbox, so I popped it in the other day..... and sure enough if you play in Miami early in the season in franchise mode, there is the dirt infield. Very nice touch.

          Next gen madden can't even manage to do this. It would be a nice little touch.

            Yup, and then it would change back to all grass in October.

              Things we took for granted. This feature was also in Madden 99 on the PSX.

                  This was in Madden 64 (the unlicensed one) on N64. 12 years ago.

                    I remember it being in Madden 64, too.

                    Tecmo Super Bowl also had it on the SNES.

                    I also want to say it was in NFL 2K5, but I'm not as sure about that one.

                      I'm pretty sure it wasn't in 2k5.

                      I'm kind of torn..while realistic, I hate it in real life so it's kind of nice not having 2 or more home games on a crappy dirt infield with no endzone markings.

                      But I wouldn't complain if they brought it back.

                        Wasn't in 2k5, but as late as last year's PS2 Madden 09, it was in. Preseason games in Oakland or Miami showed it. Although, it was just a visual; it didn't affect your players at all.(I.e. slipping and sliding in the dirt...)

                          I remember this in Madden '98. Still one of my favorite Maddens of all time!
