You start out asking why a person playing a sports simulation would want to make their league be as accurate as possible. Is this a serious question? The goal I think, for most of us playing any MLB game(99.9%?), is to have a baseball world that is as "accurate as possible". Surprising, right?

I'll bet the first thing you do when you get your new copy of OOTP is go in and change all of the stadium names removing all commercial sponsors, right? Hell, when it comes down to it by buying and playing OOTP you are paying MLB and MBLPA (ie slime balls only out for a buck)for all kinds of images. This is ok? Shouldn't they be paying Markus, and even us the users, for promoting their game?

You may not like the ads in ballparks, fair enough. But this Larry Luciano did not break the seal he returned to baseball's history of having ads in ballparks. When players are being paid upwards of $30 mil per season the revenue has to come from somewhere. You and I may not like that and think it's obscene but it is the world of sports and it's not changing. Same as gamers are not going to change in wanting a realistic world to play in.


I think your effort would be better spent posting\asking mod makers here if there might be a way to remove all ads from the parks? Maybe it would be as simple as making the panels transparent?

Exactly..Sortitoutsi actually charges a yearly subscription rate for FM users to download all of their face packs, advertising, logos etc... Now I will admit they are extremely well done...but people here are simply doing it for the love of OOTP. The truth is, we like the ballparks to look and feel as realistic as possible. For us, this isn't about money.
