Ballparks in Progress v2
Hillman Field is the latest fictional stadium that I have completed. In my league it plays as a park that slightly favors pitchers with 330 to LF, 335 to RF and 405 to center.

All I can say is shamwow. The stadium design kind of defies conventions but that's what makes it very interesting and in a weird way, makes it seem real. The turf also really stands out, that something that I've been noting about your recent designs.
I'm glad I only replaced half the stadiums I was planning on for my fictional league. This one, with the nice but non-distinct metropolitan background, is going to fit in absolutely perfectly. |

The grass/turf comes from screen shots of MLB 2k9 that I came across a while ago. I run the risk of them becoming repetitive if I use them much more. Quote:

Here is a wider angle view of the park. I have been trying to match the angle and perspective of the default field that comes with the game in order to make it easier to deal with coordinates and ball flight positions. Unfortunately, this means I have to zoom in and crop a lot of the details of the park.

I prefer the wider view because the park looks even more impressive when you can see more of the details. The ball flight thing would be a bigger issue if I were setting up an entire league of stadiums from scratch, but all the rest of mine are set up and I don't mind spending 2-3 minutes getting a new stadium ready since I am going to have to come up with park factors and all that stuff anyhow.
My fictional leagues all use real cities, but some of them aren't in places where there would normally be baseball stadiums so I like the non-descript backgrounds. I'm using this as Istanbul because the skyline is actually pretty similar to the financial district there and I wanted something to represent that modern aspect of the city. |

That being said, in the OOTP format as it presently exists, becoming a bit repetitive, as goes turf alignments, may not be a bad thing for those who want to incorporate your work and select "use these settings for all parks" or whatever the terminology. Only minor adjustments follow based on the actual field alignment 'on the screen', but its basics are in place.

U MAKE SOME KICK ASS STADIUMS...
i am in the process of setting up my Endor Baseball League which i have played on tony II, hardball and HH.....my team is the Endor City Capitals and while for the time being i have found a great logo (and i am raiding your photobucket) i use old comiskey for my base for Mon Mothma Ballpark u have 1 that looks like old comiskey that i am gonna use. is there a chance u could use some of your existing stadiums but either put the team name somewhere for me or the city name. i just saw 1 that had mountains in the background....it would be perfect for my Rocky Top Rockies.....i am looking for unique stadiums since my league is unique.....i have 1 team orig called Pine Tree Wookies which will get changed into New Kashyyk Bowcasters...if u r a star Wars fan u know that wookies r all tall and strong so i want a stadiun the size of Polo Grounds with 12 foot high walls....also do u have dimensions listed anywhere for your stadiums? Also do u do custom Logos...i am more searching for someone top do city names vs just the logo itself....example Skywalker Jedi Knights would have a jedi knight in between a blue and green lightsaber dueling. or i have a team called the Paradise City Scorpions but i want a logo similair to the San Francisco Giants with the SF on the cap or for Paradise City the PC on the cap. |

Hendricks Field
I haven't finished a park in a while and I finally had a little bit of time to put toward one tonight. I have about a half dozen stadiums that are in various stages of completion, but finding time and patience to finish one has been very limited lately.
This park started out as an attempt to make Seattle's Sicks Stadium, but it never got to the level I wanted and morphed into a fictional stadium. I haven't figured out dimensions yet, but they should be pretty standard. Not a lot of quirks to this one. |

These stadiums are epic. From what I've read you make everything using different photo files or just the background?

hey blue any chance u could do a blueturf version of Bakerbowl or old Comiskey? or if i sent u some screenshots of parks from High Heat could ya do those? There's a version of the Baker Bowl that someone in the HH community made for the Cubs. And I tend to use it for every team I played on HH and I wanted to use it for my ABF Chicago Fire but I cant seem to get it in the game properly.

I have been away from the board for a while....it is great to see some new comments of others enjoying these stadiums. Some new fictional parks should be on the way soon.
I have started and stopped an attempt at creating the Baker Bowl several times. I have had a little bit of time recently and had a little more luck at making a park look closer to the Baker Bowl. It still has some refining needed, but here is a tease for what it look like to this point. I will work on finishing it and a couple other fictional parks that are nearing completion over the next few weeks. |

I really like what the CF looks like in that picture. I like my fictional stadiums just like my real ones- with character. I can just imagine balls getting into that deep crevasse their and causing all kinds of trouble.
