8/10 I picked the wrong stadium...I was thinking about defense/pitching too much and opted for the short fence far away from home plate, hoping my power hitters could still get it out....

Yeah, 10/10, but I can't picture that stadium offhand. It doesn't look like anything I particularly recall.

Also, it is *excellent* news that you can pick at least a little bit how far you want the walls to be. I mean, the most exciting part about baseball is when someone tries to run a double out of a single or a triple out of a double, which is what Yount was trying for with Miller Park's dimensions. But I really would like to use the "high right field wall" option but also have it far away, then I can just focus on a good pitching staff and a quick team.

Make sense? For park design, I really am a fan of movable walls, even if that does screw up the seating. Have a good-hitting team of lefties? Drag that right field wall right in. Worked with Williamsburg.

If it's "100 times smoother on XBox" than last year on PC, I am only that much more siked for the PC version.

Well, the reason I said that is because the choppiness of last year's PC version was unbearable to me. I hated watching the ball skip across the screen. Even the patches didn't really fix it either.

That looks like the created stadium from the create-a-stadium video to me.

To clarify which stadium I was talking about, I know the one with the brick walls was a created stadium, but the classic one I couldn't place. I guess it.. could be classic Fenway, but it doesn't really look like the photos I've seen of it. The center-field backdrop thing with the dirt area directly underneath is pretty darn weird though.
