I can take some time and supply you all with a little research if you like. I mean I've been rebuilding stadiums in MVP for the last five years. I know how to find this information. I am most impressed by Busch and GABP and least impressed by Nationals Park, Metrodome and Fenway. US Cellular is butchered as well. Look at how the left field wall is! That's supposed to be nine feet or so, not 27 feet! See here is an image of the real stadium, the wall is the same height to the left of the bullpen as the right: See the following image of the Nationals Park I created for MVP Baseball 2005... mind you I built that using another stadium as a base... there was no Nationals Park in the game... I got the wall height correct. Why can't professionals. This is Oriole Park at Camden Yards allegedly... Big O you got your work cut out for you. I think there may be a velociraptor in that center field jungle.

I think he was talking about restrictions in the ballpark that limit the pictures that could be taken in replay mode, not restrictions as far as the way the stadium artists were able to put together the stadiums. Someone asked earlier if it was easier to take pictures in replay mode this year.

LOL when he answered this, he was referring to the boundaries of where you can go in replay mode with the stadium. With most every sports game, you're restricted to just views on the field. I myself have found workarounds in replay mode for World Series Baseball 2K3 (and zooming out to get a damn good view of the stadium!) and ESPN Major League Baseball, but they have since then corrected those little glitches.

What I mean is there are some shots where he's actually able to get in the stands, rather than just right in front of the wall, for screencaps. Hopefully that makes sense.

Nice mod, though!

Yea, really.. How does SCEA get away with creating stadiums without all these type of ads ?

MAn I miss All Star Baseball

I'm done bashing now.

LOL, you could've just edited your first post and added your last two posts to it.

Where's the path from the mound to home.
Also....the dirt around home is shaped like homeplate.

I'm not happy with this, however I'm still looking forward to the game.

I see they updated Miller Park by opening the window panels so you can see outside now. But do the window panels close when the roof is closed or are they always open no matter what?

I miss ASB with their ZAP ads.

Anyhow, Rogers Centre in this game last year was brutal (no flame, it seriously was). This year it looks a lot better. Outside of the lack of scoreboards/out of town stuff (which may be just because its in replay mode), it looks pretty photo-realistic.

And good on them for getting the blue facade on there, as well as the black for the hitters eye. It would be nice if, well, ahem.
