Different as Night and Day

Ambermonk · 07-15-2010, 02:54 AM

It's always nice to have OOTP be as immersive as possible. One area that could stand some improvement is the difference between night games and day games. With this thread, I would like to try to address that issue.

I have taken most of the ballparks that I use and darkened the background to simulate the night sky. It was a bit of work to do each one, but as I progressed, the ballparks got better (and easier), so there may be a bit of a qualitative difference between some of them. I will present them here in a series of posts in this thread (too many to fit in one post).

For convenience (and comparison) I will present both the original daylight pictures and the night conversions that I did for each of them. Note: there are two ballparks that have different pics for the night version - otherwise, all of the others can use a single ball-grid. Of course I am greatly indebted to all of those who submitted these ballparks for OOTP use. Your efforts are appreciated.

If you try some of these ballpark 'couplets' you will notice a substantial difference in your game-playing experience & immersion. So here they are (I hope some of your favorites are in this collection)...
