You Want Your Own Baseball Shangri-La? Building a Stadium in MLB the Show 24
Ever dreamt of crafting the perfect baseball paradise? A place where foul balls serenade overpriced hot dogs and home runs land with a satisfying THWACK off a wall advertising your neighbor's denture clinic? Well, my friend, MLB the Show 24 has you covered. Buckle up, because we're about to become stadium architects extraordinaire (minus the fancy suits and years of schooling... mostly).
How To Make Own Stadium In Mlb The Show |
From Humble Beginnings: Accessing the Stadium Forge
First things first, this glorious power is reserved for the privileged few – those who have ascended to the glorious realm of next-gen consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S). For our dusty old console brethren, fear not! There's still plenty of baseball joy to be had. But us fancy folks with new-age tech? We get to be stadium sculptors. Head over to the Create tab in the main menu, that sneaky little button in the top right corner just waiting to be clicked. There, nestled amongst dreams of roster domination, lies the Stadium Creator.
Unleashing Your Inner Architect: Tools of the Trade
Now, the fun begins! The Stadium Creator is basically a baseball-themed Ikea on steroids. You've got walls of all shapes and sizes, bleachers that could seat a small nation, and enough concession stands to feed an army (or at least a particularly hungry baseball fan). Here's a taste of the goodies at your disposal:
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
- Walls: Pick your poison – towering green monstrosities, short and friendly fences, or something in between. Maybe even a hedge maze if you're feeling particularly sadistic towards outfielders.
- Stands: Go classic with a horseshoe or get funky with asymmetrical wonders. Don't forget the VIP section, because everyone deserves to feel fancy while watching a baseball game (especially if they're paying those concession stand prices).
- Scenery: Palm trees swaying in a gentle breeze? A majestic mountain range looming in the background? A moat filled with hungry alligators (not recommended, but hey, it's your stadium)? The choice is yours!
Pro Tip: Don't forget the little touches! Scatter some palm trees around for a tropical vibe, or throw in a giant hot dog statue for some pure, unadulterated fun.
The Finishing Touches: Lights, Camera, Action!
Once your stadium is a masterpiece (or a hilarious mess, no judgment here), it's time to personalize it further. Name it something epic (or incredibly cheesy, we won't judge). Pick the weather conditions – a balmy summer night or a snow flurry for that extra challenge (although, good luck hitting a home run in a blizzard). Don't forget the music! A stirring orchestral piece for those dramatic moments, or maybe some upbeat pop to keep the energy up?
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
Now, crank up the night mode and admire your creation. See the lights glinting off the freshly-painted outfield walls? Hear the roar of the (imaginary) crowd? You've done it, my friend. You've built your very own baseball haven.
Remember: Great stadiums are all about balance. You don't want a bandbox where every fly ball is a homer, but you also don't want a pitcher's paradise where fly balls die sad deaths in the vast outfield. Experiment, have fun, and don't be afraid to get creative!
