Omg please take me back in time to this. That video also reminds me of MVP 05's awesome soundtrack. Hey does anyone remember one of the All Star Baseball games that had "future ballparks"? Like they predicted what future ballparks would look like for some teams. I'm a Marlins fan so I rememeber the Marlins having a future ballpark and I remember thinking about it when Marlins Park opened and I got to play it in The Show 12. Anyone remember which All Star Baseball had it? I wonder if theres video of that.

All Star Baseball 2004 and 2005 had it.

Their future ballparks were based off actual stadium proposals.

Here are some drawings and models of those parks that you also see in that game.

New York Yankees

Oakland Athletics

Minnesota Twins

Florida Marlins

St. Louis Cardinals (one that actually went through)

New York Mets

Montreal Expos

Boston Red Sox

ASB 2004 also had PETCO and CBP as future stadiums, and then when they opened in 2005 they were listed as "current."

Amazing how revolutionary this game was.

Strangely enough, I actually used to draw baseball stadiums as a hobby back in high school. I made one that was eerily similar to the Marlins one that's there, it was such a striking coincidence how closely some features related! Though it was a hybrid stadium with football. I also did a Mets one. They are lying around somewhere. I gotta find them.

Checked video on YouTube of both all star baseball 04 and 05 and the only ballpark I can't find footage of is that marlins one, which is the very one I want to look back on. But 05 does have a fictional ballpark for an unnamed team that has the same features as the future marlins ballpark above. It's like if they had the Marlins ballpark in a previous game but converted it to a generic ballpark in the 2005 game. How weird

It's that one, then. Don't know why it's in the fictional ballparks section. Maybe they already removed their name from it and leased the patent to it or however it is property designs/ownership works.

They been talking about wanting better player models for years. Maybe in the new system. The game looks good. Hopefully the ball physics will blow new life in the game for me.

Right but I rememeber playing in it as a kid so where is it that it's as the Marlins stadium? The video I saw is from the game itself so it's gotta be somewhere I imagine. There's no way they went back and removed their name from it in a copy of the game from 2004 or 2005.

I never cared for the series very much but fooled around with at least one of the iterations for a few minutes, and do recall there being a future stadium for the Oakland A's.

Thanks. Wish it would have become a reality! It seems they'll be stuck at the old dump for the foreseeable future, as MLB and the Giants like them just fine there.

Okay, I found them.

Here's what I have as a framework: my Marlins Park sketches were all in the same scrapbook, and are incredibly faded now. I also drew Citizens Bank Park in that scrapbook, for reference (mind you this was completely from memory, as you can see many details are very far off). I scanned them as dark as humanly possible, but even then it wasn't enough.

Citizens Bank Park

Spoiler

The next three drawings are of the Marlins ballpark as a baseball field, football field, and an overhead shot I was working on.

Marlins Park (baseball)

Spoiler

Marlins Park (football)

Spoiler

Marlins Park (overhead)

Spoiler

Then apparently I found in that stack an incomplete "redrawing" of the Marlins baseball park. It comes through better, but of course it is incomplete.

Marlins Park (baseball) - new

Spoiler

The things that are similar to the official proposal are the retractable roof, "glass facade" in right field, and the left field has those arches on that brick wall. These were completely coincidental, as I drew this before the proposal was even made haha.

This final one is of a "Shea Stadium II" that I drew in high school. Thankfully, this one was already scanned so I have the digital file saved. I have no idea where the original copy is anymore, which is too bad because I always wanted to draw a city skyline backdrop with it.

Shea Stadium II

Spoiler

I want to get into this hobby again. Drawing "new stadiums" is always very fun.

EDIT: Spelled "restaurant" wrong in Shea Stadium II.

Check the news bro. We're going to know where and when the new Park is going to be built by the end of this year.

Guess I haven't heard the latest. There's been a number of proposals over the years that have just never gone anywhere, so haven't been following any new park news for a while. Cisco Field in Fremont (my hometown) was the last one (quite a few years ago) I got excited about.

I was excited about the original design:

Then they turned it into this... which while it's the same basic idea, is significantly less appealing to me:

EDIT: This whole time I thought I was in the MLB Off-Topic thread for some reason. Sorry for helping the de-rail in The Show forum. My bad.
