jg2977 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Now that we know that there will be some sort of create-a-stadium feature in MVP 2005, it would be interesting to hear what kind of stadiums you would build for your teams. For the time being, let's assume that you can alter outfield dimensions, wall height, choose between turf and grass, and choose between open-air stadiums and dome/retractable roof stadiums. Also, maybe describe the stadium capacity, # of tiers, bleachers in the outfield, and other things like that. I would like to build a retractable roof stadium for the Yankees. My dimensions would be 310 LF, 380 RCF, 410 CF, 375 RF, 320 RF. The wall heights would vary between only 3 ft high up to 20 ft high in certain places. I would definitely choose grass and a retractable roof. Since it's the Yankees, they always have a high attendance, so I would make the stadium capacity at least 60,000. And I would include a lot of luxury boxes if I could, because I know that Steinbrenner would want that. Something fun to try would be to make it 400 down the lines, but only 300 in center field!

kaplerisking Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I doubt that the game will allow you to make the lines 400 feet and 300 in center, its just too unrealistic. Anyway....my stadium would probably be for an expansion team (if you can do that in 2005) in Hartford, CT. It would be a grass, open-air stadium with a seating capacity of about 55,000 because there would be a very high attendance for games against the Red Sox and Yankees, if not for any of the other games. Walls would be anywhere from 6 to 15 feet, and the dimensions would be 320 LF, 395 LCF, 435 CF, 400 RCF, 335 RF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 It will probably be similar to the stadium creation tool in the Madden Football series. You'll be able to choose grass or turf, open air or domed, wall colour and maybe even the dimensions... I doubt it will be anything too special... but with the help of some modders, it will be fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disengage Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I'd make old school 70's/80's style stadiums, open air, turf, bases on those little dirt islands (don't konw the term) out field walls symetrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzone Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 you know, my only wish is that there the new stadiums that can be unlocked include Ebbets Field.

I 2nd that Ebbets Field will be the 1st new stadium i want .... old time baseball had some good old stadiums and so did hardball 5 like LA Coliseum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playball335 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 An enhanced version of the old Earl Weaver stadium builder would be great. I too fear it will only be like Madden as well. Create-A-Team would be awesome, a full league of custom teams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulw Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Ebbets is an absolute, ABSOLUTE must. I hope EA includes it! My Ebbets/Shibe is basically a complete hack. It's the best I could with what I had to work with. I would love to see old Young Motors and the gas station on the other side of Bedford Avenue in right. Hitting homers into Bedford, and breaking the display windows in Young Motors would be a dream come true. I'm obviously getting carried away. Depending on how in depth the create a stadium module is, the Stadium I would like to create first is old Cleveland Municipal. This is the first I've heard of this new function of the game - it sounds pretty exciting to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulw Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Well I'm - uh - 48 :oops: I never got to see a game at Ebbets - have lots of friends who have however. I have a huge passion for baseball history, however. Have read many books on the Dodgers and Ebbets and been studying old time ball for 20 years or so. Favorite guys I do remember watching- Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, Sandy Koufax, Luis Aparicio, Boog Powell and many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulw Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Playing MVP keeps me young. Gotta go take my Metamucil now and maybe a nap. :? :?

I grew up on oldtime music too. Thanks for the great site, trues :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I think we have a fairly sizeable contingency of "Real" OLDTIME Baseball enthusiast here at mvpmods. I myself am 57 and awhile back, I forget exactly who on this forum, told me I was a mere youngster compared to him. But you might be surprised (and I would hope pleasantly surprised) how many of us OLDTIMERS really enjoy this site, this particular group of members and of course this game. My first real computer baseball game (excluding those spinning disk/Deck of Cards early types) was the Strat-O-Matic board game which I scraped up my nickels and dimes and bought in '63 while in high school. Bought it out of an add from a Marvel Comic book I was reading. We've come along way with computer based baseball games. They are so much better now than then but even then the fun was still relatively the same. As a Marine in Vietnam in the later '60s I was a computer programmer working on an IBM S/360 writting Cobol programs and actually was programming my Strat-O-Matic type game on that system then. Started with only the intent of having the computer help me keep stats then had a heck of an idea to actually simulate gameplay based on players abilities and actual game situations. Now for those that don't remember those days there were no such things as computer screens much less computer graphics so all my results were simply printed on computer paper in those days and I would enter my commands (i.e. Plays/Coaching decision etc.) from a typewriter looking console. If only I had stuck with that idea I had then I could possibly have been competing with EA Sports today. But instead I am finishing up a 30+ year career with IBM and enjoying these computer games very much like I didn games over 40 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jg2977 Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 I'd like to see Exhibition Stadium in it, possibly with snow outs Why would they waste valuable disk space on Exhibition Stadium? Bleh. If anything, they should have Old Comiskey Park, Ebbets Field, or Cleveland Municipal Stadium. (Would be nice if they had all three.)

paulw Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Stecropper - I started with strat-o-matic in 1963 also. I remember my first teams I purchased very well - the Milwaukee Braves, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and New York Yankees. I still have the game and all the old card sets. Strat-o-matic got me started in my interest in old time baseball when they came out with there classic teams in the late 60's. I had the '53 Dodgers, '54 Giants, '50 Phillies, '57 Braves, '50 Yankess, '46 Red Sox and '48 Indians. I loved playing with these teams. Reading "The Boys of Summer" as an early teenager was also a big influence on my interestt. I really enjoy playing MVP with old time teams, players and stadiums. I get to relive part of my youth. I always think what I would have said if somehow I could have been sent into the future when I was a kid and seen what MVP (and Highheat before it went into the crapper) can do. This may sound a bit corny, but when I'm hitting as Mickey Mantle in old time Yankee or Willie Mays in the Polo Grounds I'm truly living a dream come true.
