Wrigley. No bullpens on the field. As you said they are behind the wall.

Thank you so much!

I like the new catcher meter as outs will not be automatic anymore. It's nice they added more accessories too. The hitting variations looks promising. I'm also concerned with framerate, new commentary/presentation, and pro support.

As a lifelong Cubs fan, it's definitely screwing with my brain seeing the field that way. I thought the jumbotrons were different, but this one is the worst. I don't hate it at all. It's just... screwing with my normalcy bias.


I'm so used to seeing those mounds on the sides. They've always been there. It's gonna be weird this season having pitching changes and watching guys come out of the Ivy-covered wall in order to pitch. Plus the bullpen arms warming up indoors.

IMO it should be a requirement that all stadiums have bullpen mounds out of the field of play. Too many safety hazards. Maybe the occasional ball getting loose as well, but that has nothing to do with it.

Hopefully they fixed the issue with the ivy changing back and forth between the brown and green this year

Did anyone else notice new catcher set up and receiving animations? It was just a quick look, but I could have sworn they weren't the same ones we've had forever.

Yeah I forgot about this. Hope this is fixed as well.

Pretty sure those were new last year.

Million dollar question....

With the new "ground balls curving down the line" physics, will there be doubles in them thar hills?

The Cubs cited safety as a reason but the real reason is to add more seats down the foul line. The impact of less foul territory should be increased offense.

Between that and the "Humanity AI" that will apparently make AI defenders misplay balls off the wall more often, I'd imagine we'll be seeing a lot more doubles this year out of the box.

This.

The Cubs organization were enjoying a renaissance before there 2015 NLCS appearance and 2016 NL Pennant and World Series Championships.

They currently are flooding new concert acts that are getting booked, far beyond the occasional double-night of Jimmy Buffett & Pearl Jam.

Those mounds are gone for no other reason to not only add more seats for games, but to also move seats closer and in more quantity for concert acts.

Lady Gaga just played the Super Bowl, and she's supposed to have a Wrigley show this year. That kind of stuff is why they are trying to find anyway to add more and more seats to the confines.

I think the new ball spin will be fantastic but I suspect the 20th time a ball curves just foul with runners on base there might be some debate on the topic.
