OK, EA really sucks now.

Did anybody notice that the Braves got a new scoreboard? It should be on their homepage (www.atlantabraves.com) under the Stadium page. Anyway, EA should have known about this and done something about it. That messes up my new mod.

How? Remove the old one and increase the size of the Jumbotron.

Try redoing US Celluar, that stadium has been changed since 2003 with black walls and such and they haven't touched it, no Fan Stands in center no Fundamentals pavilion in left, I am having a heck of a time finding anything for it, I'll update the darn scoreboard in Turner it'll take two minutes.

So EA is supposed to predict minor changes made to stadiums that aren't even complete when they release their game?

There are PLENTY of reasons to complain about how EA is handling stadiums, but jumping on them because they can't predict the future is silly. Anaheim is still modeled on how the stadium looked for 3 months in 1998 (in other words it's 8 years old), and looks very little like it does in real life. Pirate has brought up the US Cellular issues, but one could argue that since the stadium renovation isn't going to be complete until 2006, the stadium itself is a work in progress.

But that new board in Atlanta is relatively simple compared to doing something like Chicago or Anaheim

Yes but myself being a huge Braves fan, I knew about it at the end of last season so EA should have known about it, even if it is that simple.

Thats what I said. They obviously would have been told my Turner Field people when they went to photograph...

That doesn't mean you knew what it would look like. Most new videoboards are in widescreen format, but Atlanta decided to go against the grain and kept the 4X3 form instead. did they know that?

And do you know where the line score will be? Do you know during the game how much of the video display will be used for video and how much will be used for text? You do know that it will be used for both, correct? EA wouldn't be able to answer those questions yet either.

not sure of this exactly, but the data will probaly be over in left field. you may want to wait until after opening day to get a confromation on this.
