WIP: Braves Field 1952

Recommended Posts

Well, I lied about stopping work on Braves Field, since I actually tried my hand at making ads and I was kinda pleased with it. Though the park is largely completed now, I'm going to try my hand at making a quick 'n dirty version of the original Braves Field, with the 550' center field with 20' walls. in the 9 years with those dimensions, there were 0 homers hit out of the park. But, since there are 0 pictures that I've been able to find of Braves Field at that point, so it's gonna be all sorts of freestyle.

Anyway, some pictures of 1952 Braves Field with the closer dimensions:

Hope everyone enjoys, since it's much more polished than the past couple of things I've come up with. Leave feedback, it both helps me improve and makes me think people are playing in it.

And, a teaser of the original park, which I worked on tonight and needs some more collision detection work and general polishing up. Hope you enjoy.

Hey sir try looking at a ballpark book on old stadium they have pictures of the original 550' centerfield and the rest of the stadium

this Books : Take me out to the ball game by Josh Levental Page 20

Lost Ballparks by Lawrence S. Ritter Pages 19 to 27

But the book Lost Ballparks is the best book to look at old Ballparks!!!

Why do I know this because I own both this books and I do not fool around

112155,

Not sure yet when it's going to be released, but should be soon-ish. At least, sooner rather than later. I guess I will replace AAA stadium 2 and 3 (original and late versions, respectively) by default, so you can keep Paul's Ebbets as AAA1, but you can always just rename the .big file to whatever you want to replace any of the other stadiums.

NotreDame1,

Thanks for the post. I've been fangoriously searching through the 'net for images of Braves Field, and Ballparktour.com was one of the sites I used, along with ballparksofbaseball.com and ballparks.com. However, the best resource i've been able to find so far, and just a cool site to wander around, is this one:

http://www.andrewclem.com/Baseball/index.shtml#Stads_by_city

Really a load of fun, since he has diagrams of every major league park, many of which are dynamic so you can see how they've changed. I'll probably wander over to the local Borders that's a 3 minute walk away and see if they have any of the ballpark books for reference; I always flipped to the LA Coliseum or Fenway Park pages rather than Braves Field when I browsed through them before.

It should be noted that the 1952 Braves field technically isn't accurate and can't be accurate because of the way the original Forbes Field source file is made. Forbes field only had 3 collision detection points in the outfield, while Braves had a curved center field wall, which would require about 10. So, instead I just shifted everything over and made a center field corner at the same distance. Just for reference.

knight,

It was built on Forbes Field. Here are some comparison shots:

Compare that with the above, it took a bit to change all of this up.

Are you going to make a stadium for the 2005 game? Braves Field and some others and would I have to replace a minor league park hopeful?

I'm not really sure what you're asking, but this is for MVP 2005, and in the readme it says how to rename the file to overwrite minor league stadiums. Not sure if I'm going to do any more parks for a while for time reasons, but Braves Field is posted now.
