Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

If you haven't checked out these two threads they include panoramic shots of all the stadiums in the game. If you are wondering if the Texas Rangers upgrades have made it in post pictures or videos of the upgrades here.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

This is all I could find for the Rangers Ballpark renovation.

Not much really to go on I guess.

Darn, I was hoping that you guys would have the "insider information" on the new Batter's Eye Club, so to speak. It looks like you have the visitor's bullpen right (as it is now parallel to the outfield wall). There will also be seats instead of bleachers out there, but I think bleachers were never in the game in the first place. Some of the sketches about it include...

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

Is this a thread where we can post "inaccuracies"?

If so, this is a weird one because I don't really know if it can be addressed, since the water seems to either be static (non-changing per batter), perhaps reflection-based, or does not actually have its own custom palette applied to it, but at AT&T Park at night, or at least during the beginning of a night game, McCovey Cove is displayed as, what I would consider, to be "black looking." The day games are fine.

Although an overexposed and overcontrasted shot, here is an example of a near-beginning night game at AT&T Park, and how the water (like most water in real life tends to ) keeps its blue color:





And I know this isn't at the beginning of a night game, but here is a shot of McCovey Cove as the game is progressing into what is probably its middle innings:





As you can see, the water still retains its blue color even as it gets darker. Obviously the black look wouldn't be too much of an issue once the night time hits its darkest sky, but before that, it sure would look nice if it started off as a lighter blue. Instead, it has this constant look the entire night game:








The way I see it, there are one of two reasons this could be happening:

- The backdrop of the east bay is causing the water to reflect the same black look that it has.

- It was a decision made for which static color for the water to have the entire game, because it is not possible/difficult to have change over time like the sky, and a blue looking water with night sky would look very bizarre.

If it's the latter, there might not be anything that can be done about it. If it's the former, my small solution would be to get rid of the eyesore backdrop Personally, I think it's just too solid, too outstanding, and too close to the action to be considered something to implement as a part of the stadium, or even a part of the city, for that matter. I think it could work better if it was a bit more faded out there, kind of like how the photo images show. That, or if you can extend the landscape, that might help as well.

Anyway, this is all just food for thought. As you probably know, I'm big on the stadium colors as is, so while this would be a nice adjustment, I'll always be finding myself pointing something else out about the colors.

I'm not sure if you guys got it already but there's new fences for the dugouts at the Rogers Centre, as can be seen here:




I couldn't find any more good images.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

At Great American Ballpark in left center field there is a red tundra as seen in the picture. It was in a preview video of '11 but i guess was taken out in the final build.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

Fix the flashing neon tomahawk at Turner Field...it never flashes during home runs...it flashes during doubles, triples and RBIs...its been wrong in the game for 2 yrs, plus there was a glitch where the sign always stayed lit up after first lit during a game

I have posted over 200 pictures along with explanations in those forums. Click on my signature. I posted those way back in May, plenty of time for those problems to be fixed.

Liberty Bell Ringing at Citiznens Bank Park in MLB 11 The Show is still wrong and needs some updating!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z85nS4MxwkY&feature=player_embedded

1. The Citiznens Bank Park sign at the bottom of the Liberty Bell "Blinks" on and off during the Bell ringing. For Home Runs and when the Phillies win.

2. There are little stars on the bell that also "Blink" and also make a cool animation again for For Home Runs and when the Phillies win.

3. And when the bell is ringing its changes colors to red,White and Blue. The little stars also change colors. For Home Runs and when the Phillies win.

Citizens Bank Park

The LED Board with the pitcher balls, strikes count and ERA in right field at Citizens Bank Park is wrong in MLB 11 The Show.

Its should be Red when the Phillies are pitching and a light color almost looks like a teal color on TV when the visiting team is pitching.

Also there should be no player photo on it.

Top screenshot shows LED board with Phillies in the field.

Second screenshot shows the visiting team in the field.

Also in the second screenshot it shows a Red LED Board with Batter stats hanging from the upper deck next to the At&t sign. That is also wrong in MLB 11 The Show.

Sorry I don't have a better screenshot of that second picture.

You can also goto Phillies.com and check the video section from the playoffs and you can see these LED boards in action.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

In MLB 11 The Show there is a Phillies sign on top of the Holiday Inn Hotel.

In real life there is no Phillies sign on top of the hotel. Instead there is Holiday Inn sign on top.

Now I relize you are not allowed to use the Holiday Inn sign and I am guesing that is reason you put the Phillies sign in its place.

However I think it would look better without the Phillies sign. And instead either make a new fake sign like for example a sign that simply says "South Philly Hotel" with the same green letters. Or maybe just have no sign at all which would be even better perhaps.

Re: Stadium upgrades for MLB 12

I konw you have to use fake billboards in the ball parks but can you correct the colors of the ads?

For example as you can see in this screenshot the first billboard on the left is yellow but in MLB 11 The Show it is blue.

I know you can not use the real billboards but if you can atleast make them the same color as the real ones that would look better.

Comerica Park

1. The walls are not teal. They are dark green.
2. The 'TIGERS' sign above the big scoreboard has orange in the letters with white border.

Comerica Park

1. The walls are not teal. They are dark green.
2. The 'TIGERS' sign above the big scoreboard has orange in the letters with white border.

And the Tigers are 3 dimensional and not cardboards like it is now in The Show. Normally it wouldn't bother me that much but after a homerun they always zoom in on the scoreboard and then it is extra frustrating

Great catch!

These details are way off in MLB 11 The Show!

I hope there is time to fix them.
