Man...that shot of Busch from The Show 23 on Switch looks GREAT! Really odd that differing platforms makes a difference on the art in this case. That's why I think it has to be a bug, which is good in the sense it should be fixable. One thing that I recall noticing in previous versions were some of the ballparks being better lit during Franchise games as opposed to Exhibition. Can't confirm this year as I won't start Franchise until I get my rosters squared away.

Re: 2023 Stadium errors and omissions

Would be cool if they could fix this:

Camden Yards scoreboard clock should be lit up, and the Orioles text above it should be neon orange.

The backstop should have rotating ads, not the nike swoosh sign.


I know this a new renovation, but hopefully they can remove the Oriole Park (The Sun) scoreboard sign in an upcoming patch.

The clock on top of the scoreboard at Camden yards has always bothered me but not to the point of mentioning. It was one of the things I remember from going to a few games at Camden Yards about 20 years ago. Wish they would have time to touch up things like this in the parks because it really does add to the immersion.

Just to mention it, the clock atop the scoreboard at Oracle Park in SF is even worse. Much as with Camden Yards, the one at Oracle is memorable and stands out. There was a bug a couple of years ago where if you played day games at Oracle, the face of the clock was unreadable. It seemed like it was supposed to be a daylight transition thing but a bug of sorts made it so it was permanently white from glare even during night games.

They seemed to have resolved the bug but the clock is nowhere near as illuminated as it should be.

Re: 2023 Stadium errors and omissions

In addition to the issues with signs/lighting at T-Mobile Park, Busch Stadium and others, I went through and looked at some of the other parks during night games and came across a couple of things like:

Neon Twins logo at Target Field not lighting up

Target Field sign has Target logo as white and not red

Wrigley Field Centerfield scoreboard needs accent lights (way too dark from batters box)

Rogers Centre signs beyond centerfield ('Rogers' and 'The Show') are not lit.

All that being said, some of the work they've donate light up other parks look great!

The aforementioned 'Guardians' and 'Progressive Field' signs at Progressive Field

The lit up pin wheels at Gauranteed Rate Field

The right field sign at Wrigley

The 'W' and 'Nationals' signs at Nationals Park

As a matter of fact, the level of lighting that Nationals Park signs have are what these other parks (especially Busch Stadium) are missing.

Later this evening, I'm going to start listing these out with screen caps from IRL and the game and submit bugs.

Yeah the "GUARDIANS" on the scoreboard is lit up pretty bright in real life, but in the game its not at all.

Re: 2023 Stadium errors and omissions

The Tigers lowered their right field wall a little bit this year, and added some plants between the wall and stands. SDS got this, but added full on bushes rather than the little potted flowers.

Also, T-Mobile Park in Seattle. The OF walls are waaayyy too light. I know this is an issue at Progressive Field too. Should be closer to the Tigers walls (though still a slightly different shade, similar brightness). And more minor issues, the bullpens look like they're much too high, the out of town scoreboard looks undersized, and behind home plate, the padding the led ad boards should be green, not tan. And the logo behind homeplate looks like a placemat, not painted on grass.

Surprising you feel that way about Progressive Field's signs. I thought they did a pretty good job with the Progressive Field scoreboard this year. It's one of the ballparks I always check when a new version of the game comes out. But I get we all have our expectations for the parks we love.

Fair point. It is better than it used to be. I do hold that park to a higher standard I guess.

Totally get it!

For years, I always looked to see if they did Progressive Field justice. I have a personal affinity to alot of ballparks from taking trips to them over the years. I caught a game in Cleveland when it was still "The Jake". Always loved that park mostly from watching playoff games back in the mid-to-late 90's with the Thome, Vizquel, Manny, Alomar, Kenny Lofty days.

That's cool. Many memories for me at that place.

Re: 2023 Stadium errors and omissions

Is there a reason that they can have the real Coke bottle in LF in Oracle Park but in other places like Busch Stadium and Citi Field they have a generic logo instead of Coke?

I've wondered this exact same thing as there are multiple ballparks with Coca-Cola ads/signs. Specifically the Coca-Cola Rooftop Deck at Busch.

My guess is that it's just lower on the priorities list for the art team, which is understandable. They only have so many resources in terms of Dev hours available for creating new historic ballparks, adding/updating content for 'Create-a-Stadium', etc.

Hopefully submitting alot of these things as official bugs may help get some eventual traction.
