Yes but have it be the Red Sox logo :P

Naw, make it the CC logo. We don't want to get into that whole Yankees / Red Sox thing.

bullpens are excessively large.

by **gimil** on Mon Jul 02, 2007 3:28 am

u also should include all the players on the field.

I Agree.

Actually, in most (probably all) Major Leage ballparks, seat sections are numerical, and usually 3-digits.

UPDATE!

This time, the changes are on the Field:
Mower stripe texture and CC logo on Field
"Chalk lines" for batter's box, coach's boxes, on-deck circles
Home plate, bases, and pitcher's base on Field and in the bullpens
Warning track added
Batter position color removed

I think the black lines throughout the infield make the map very cluttered. I don't know what could be done instead. The "mowed" lines make the field look much better.

I like the additions...and I'll give on the sox logo :P

I tried this just to see (with a different picture, though), and putting a picture of a ballpark as the background really adds to the baseball theme. I'll go with it right now.

Here it is. A new background is the change this time. Enjoy! Comment Too!

Looks good!

I would change "Batter" from white to brown on the key

by **Night Strike** on Thu Jul 12, 2007 5:02 pm

Oh gosh.........don't like it!!! Having your field's orientation going against the orientation of the picture is just terrible!!! It makes the whole thing look like it's out of place.

I think that it looks fine. Acually, maybe it would look better if the outer border was darker.

by **thegeneralpublic** on Thu Jul 12, 2007 8:51 pm

I concur; the background picture looks fine to me! This map is looking downright awesome!

I think you should change the angle of the field. I mean make it so home plate as at the base of the page and center field is at the top of the page.

by **Keredrex** on Fri Jul 13, 2007 2:10 pm

Good Job Can't wait to Play.... I think It looks good this way....

Placing the map with Batter on the bottom and Outfield towards the top would Illiminate the rest of the Stadium... which is always partially behind Home plate

Since comments on this are about 50-50, I'm presenting two versions of the (small) map for a foundry decision.
Do you like version one, with the map's field orientation against the picture's field orientation?

Or version two, with the map's field orientation with the picture's field orientation?

(and, yes, I do know that the scoreboard legend is very hard to read--it can be redone if this version is preferred by the foundry)

by **Night Strike** on Fri Jul 13, 2007 6:09 pm

Tough choice. I don't know if I like the bottom orientation, but I'm not convinced it fits properly on the top one. Maybe you could just do a background of various baseball items: bats, balls, hot dogs, etc.

by **Kaplowitz** on Fri Jul 13, 2007 8:09 pm

I think the top one is fine!

by **gimil** on Fri Jul 13, 2007 8:16 pm

The origonal is fine but seriously you need to start putting some kind of texture into the contients. They just look flat and boaring

by **edbeard** on Fri Jul 13, 2007 8:30 pm

I'm totally against the background you currently have.

1. It's probably copyrighted so you'll have to deal with that and probably not worth the hassle.

2. More importantly it doesn't look right at all. The contrast between the gameplay area and this drawing as the background stands out too much.

I think you're missing an opportunity here. You can draw an actual background of the map outside. Parking lot. A river. Freeway. Possibly draw a pitcher or a batter or something.

To be Frank, what you have now looks bad. Shirley you can do quite a bit better.

As for other parts of the graphics. I think it'd be cool if you could actually draw in the seats on the bleachers. The boxes and sweets would obviously need a different look, but it could really add something if done subtley.
