fuzzone Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 man, this park looks like trash.lol it's the only park i unlocked so far, but it looks so crappy even with the cooperstown effect off. Why the hell is it so colorless and so blahhh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 They probably made it colorless so it would look on with the cooperstown effect on. Personally I hate it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulw Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 EA totally fanned on this one! Complete garbage. I'd have to look it up but don't think Fenway even existed in 1905. Why oh why didn't they do the beautiful period Fenway of the Ted Williams years - around 1946 or so. I don't even want to start on why they didn't do an old time Yankee - they already had a lot of the pieces in place (just like they did for Fenway). I really like a lot about this game, but some of the decisions EA made when releasing it are mind-boggling :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenDammit Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 nope, the Sox played at Huntington Ave. Grounds until 1911 and moved to Fenway in 1912. They did transfer the grass from the old park...maybe that counts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamingboy Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Well, actually, Fenway DID look completely different when it was first made. There WERE seats in front of the thing we now know as the "green monster", and there were alot of other differences. But then there was a fire, so it was practically rebuilt.....

But then there was a fire, so it was practically rebuilt I know the original Fenway was totally different than now. No green monster and many, many other differences. I still much rather would have seen Fenway from about 50 years ago or so. Big ads on the monster, the great scorebard on top of the right field stands, etc. etc. EA's Fenway is just.. ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 wasnt there a hill instead of the green monster....i think they added the green monster....i dont think it was built with the park originaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamingboy Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I'll have to do some research... UPDATE: I'm doing research now, and I'm starting mroe and more to agree with you guys that this isn't what the real fenway looked like in the 1910s and 1920s. I'm thinking it's a bizarre hybrid of various stages of Fenway's development. Of course, YOU DO have to admit that the people at EA had little to work with, I don't think there are many pictures that capture a good portion of Fenway during that time period.

RonBurgundy Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Here's a link I found for diagrams of Fenway Park. http://www.andrewclem.com/Baseball/FenwayPark.html And the diagram of old Fenway they have there: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamingboy Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Okay then, so the first form of the Green Monster (well... I don't think it was green back then but..), WAS there when Fenway opened. However, seating-wise, even if there were no seats in front of the monster back then, it was common for Baseball teams to make improvised seating and such in stadiums. So we COULD say that the attendance was really large every time we play in classic fenway, large enough so that temporary bleachers/standing areas were built in front of the wall...
