One of the most debated aspects of any sports game is the accuracy of each stadium. If any of the dimensions, wall sizes, or intricacies of any park are wrong, thousands of e-mails, tweets, and blog posts are sent out calling for the art designer's job.
But from what I can tell about the new Marlins Park in Sony's "MLB 12 The Show," it looks like the creators of the game really nailed every detail. From the MTV Cribs-like aquariums behind home plate to the giant fish used to celebrate home runs, this looks like a stadium not to be missed.
If only I could smash the aquarium glass in the game with a foul ball.
