Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with “MLB The Show 24” lately, and let me tell you, the minor league stadiums are a whole different ball game—pun intended. I got this idea to dive deep into these parks, and boy, was it a journey. I started out just exploring, you know, seeing what these stadiums were all about.
First off, I fired up the game and started poking around the different modes where you can access these minor league gems. I’m not gonna lie, I was pretty pumped to see the variety. It’s not just the same old, same old; these parks have their own character.
Then, I got this crazy idea: What if I tried to check out, or even recreate, every single minor league stadium in the game? I know, I know, it sounds nuts, but I was curious. So, I started digging into how many there were. Turns out, we’re talking about all 30 Double-A and all 30 Triple-A stadiums. Yeah, that’s 60 stadiums! A huge task to do!
Now, I ain’t no game developer, but I started experimenting with the stadium creator tool in the game. It’s pretty neat, actually. You can tweak all sorts of things, from the field dimensions to the stands. I spent hours just playing around with the settings, trying to get a feel for it.
- I started with some of the more well-known parks, like First Horizon Park. It’s one of the newer ones in Triple-A, and it’s got a cool vibe. I tried my best to capture its essence in the game, messing with the layout and the scenery.
- Then there’s Cheney Stadium in Tacoma. This one’s a real classic, small and cozy with only 6,500 seats. Recreating that intimate feel was a fun challenge. I focused on getting the seating just right, making it feel as close to the real deal as possible.
I also learned that the Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Field was the neutral venue for the 2020 World Series. I didn’t build that one since it’s a major league park, but it got me thinking about how these minor league stadiums can sometimes play host to big events. It’s a whole different atmosphere.
But here’s the kicker: I found out that some folks online have been doing this for a while. There are forums where people share their custom stadiums and dimensions, and it’s a whole community out there. I was like “I am not alone”, but these guys are pros. They’ve got lists of stadiums already in the vault from previous versions of the game, like “MLB The Show 22.”
The Result?
Well, I haven’t gotten through all 60 stadiums yet, not even close. It’s a work in progress, you could say. But I’ve managed to tinker with a few, and it’s been a blast. Each one is like a little project, a puzzle to solve. And let me tell you, it’s satisfying to see your creation come to life on the screen. But those stadiums already in the game are launching pads – Capital Lange, Hatch and Motor, Sawyer Memorial.
So, yeah, that’s my story about diving into the world of minor league stadiums in “MLB The Show 24.” It’s been a fun ride, and I’m not planning on stopping anytime soon. There’s something special about these parks, and I’m all in on bringing them to life in the game, one stadium at a time.
