Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park Trailer

Let's go back on topic, please.

Yeah....that thing in left center....its bad

[timmymvp6]

Kind of boring beyond the OF wall, other than... that.

I totally agree there is no team logos or sponsors to make it look a little better. There should have been a second jumbotron built over there.

[timmymvp6]

It looks just like Miller Park. Jose's batting stance is sweet though hope they have a new batting stance for Curtis Granderson

[timmymvp6]

The homerun thing makes me wanna throw up its so dumb.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park

I think it looks pretty nice actually. When the roof is causing shadows I think it will really look sweet.

The "artwork" in left center is some of the craziest, tacky POS I have seen.

&

The solid white or gray batting gloves look alittle weird. Not worried, just sayin.

Thank god it's the Astros and not the Marlins coming to the AL West next year, because I'd have to see that THING at least once every month, lol.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park

With that outfield backdrop, it does look like Miller Park which I'd say is probably the ugliest of the new parks.

You'd think they'd have made more of an effort to allow some natural light into a Florida ballpark. All those nice Spring Training parks, and they can't seem to build a pro stadium in that state.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park

Yeah, I think this park suffers from the same problem that day games at Miller Park do in this series; the lighting for the retractable roof stadiums just doesn't do their real-life counterparts justice.

Two things would probably make it look a lot nicer:

1) Getting more lighting on the outfield area to make the green walls "pop" instead of having them be shrouded in shadows so dark that the walls look almost black

2) Opening up the panels and showing off that beautiful Miami skyline. The real-life stadium seems to look a lot better this way, as well.

Of course, SCEA can only do so much with the first year of each stadium due to a lack of information being supplied. (Citi Field, anyone?). Once this stadium opens for business this year, I'm sure SCEA will have some good ideas on how to make it look more vibrant for day games in MLB 13.

As for MLB 12, I'm hoping the night games will make the place look brighter since there won't be any pesky shadows creeping over the outfield.

(On a side note, personally I'm a fan of the home run celebration, the fishtank backstop, and the other tacky things in the stadium. It's fun to have one ridiculously tacky stadium in the big leagues.)

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park

This stadium is just ugly, at least the inside is. No way around it. The color green they used is just horrible. It's like Miller Park and Tropicana Field hooked up. I think someone else posted that earlier in this thread and I would have to agree. Throw in the fact the Marlins new uniforms suck worse than the old ones and it just makes it worse. Top it off with the carnival ride they put in Left Center and you have an atrocity. I can't believe a group of people actually thought this was the best option. Why do the Marlins have to be in the NL East? I have to look at this thing way too much this season.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park

The lack of a view beyond the outfield walls is a horrible choice. I just don't understand how you can build a stadium in the state of Florida and not incorporate beautiful sight lines, etc. It looks like a hanger. I can understand why the parks in Milwaukee and Toronto have the same look considering the inclimate weather, but Florida? Come on.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park

You guys are relentless. It's just a ball park. I guess I don't understand how some people have so much feeling about it. I can partly understand if you're home team plays in it, but beyond that, I don't understand all the hatred towards this stadium.

Why do you have the urge then to point this out? We do it because this is a discussion board about MLB the Show, and this ballpark is in the game. Because of this, it gives posters licenses in a thread about a video of the new ballpark to critique it. And it suffers from the same problems that Miller Park and the juice box have: terrible shadows, horrid colors, and lackluster aesthetics. Add to that the home run statue, and it is indeed one ugly stadium.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park

The common overall feeling and expression of this thread as I've interpreted it:

"Oh, cool... new pics of the Marlins stadium are up, lets check them out. Ok lets see here, pretty open ballpark w/ retractable roof preventing So. Fla rainouts, scanning through leftfie...OMG CENTERFIELD. WHAT IS THAT THING? I CAN'T LOOK AWAY. WHAT IS THAT? WHO WOULD MAKE SUCH A THING. TERRIBLE. Ok, let me try to notice something else. CENTERFIELD."

Thank you for reading my poetic interpretation. <Bow>

There's a beautiful view of the city through LF but that is in not in this video or in the game possibly.

If anyone has been to Sunlife for a game you'd appreciate this stadium a whole lot more.

I'm only disappointed with how they have portrayed the stadium in this game not the RL one, the CF thing is an atrocity but whatever(Loria being Loria) and I've grown fond of the new Unis even tho our last set was one of the best imo.
