I don't understand this claim. Did you see where I mentioned several distinct things they improved? After playing 11, there's NO WAY I could go back to any previous version. I just don't get it. There is room for more variety (I understand thinking it's stale-parts are), but to say it's a roster update is just wrong to me.

Dang man...to say '11 was just a roster upgrade might be a reach. Heck the analogs alone was a HUGE welcome addition and the rain aid graphics with other enhancements were monumental in terms of how baseball is played from a Händel aspect. It's the only reason a PS3 has a home in my house honestly...well that and my much anticipated title, THE LAST OF US of course.

I can't help but respond. I never even thought to look at dirt and grass color. The fact that you think this is a major flaw should tell you how good the game is, unless I'm missing some sarcasm.

I hate to get into this personally, but I don't take it as sarcasm whatsoever. The fact that I myself decided to make Photoshop comparisons for what it is and what it should "probably" be close to says my opinion on the game's color palette, which IMO has been consistently off since its PS2 days.

However, as you mentioned, thankfully they've gotten nearly everything else right on an authenticity level, that we are resorting to color changes as the last little things to get right. On the unfortunate level, it does happen to be something that we see in every shot when we play.

IMO it's more one of those things where you don't notice something is wrong until it's addressed. That's how it was for player models, that's how it was for day time lighting, and that's how it will be for bat sounds, outfielder speed, etc. On that same token, I do believe that's how it is for the stadium color palette.

But that's neither here nor there. They know that the suggestions have been laid out; I don't think it's worth bringing up unless they do, and in which case I hope that happens because they are declaring that changes are to be made. Until then, it is their hand, and they will choose whether or not it should be changed on their own.

Honestly, what is the point spending so much time on stadiums when you guys never get the grass and dirt right? I mean, it's as obvious as the day to anybody that attends real games that these stadiums look nothing like the real thing when you are watching the game because of the grass and dirt.

Look at the Nationals Stadium in that one write up lol? That isn't what the stadium looks like in real life. What the hell happened to dirt and grass because they are totally a different tone than that and it is BEYOND annoying considering I have been writing about this for well over a year now. If you want realism then go take some pictures of the how the stadium looks and make sure you get the colors right. The grass in this game is pitiful and I mean that in the nicest way. Half the time it is this drab sullen looking pale green FFS!

Man, I knew I should have never gotten myself up to this boiling point but it is just too much for me. That is why I must leave at some point and just hope for another year. I hate to sound critical but I cannot help it when this game is so good now, from what I hear, in pretty much every other area.

Grass is green, dirt is brown ... of course it would be nice to get more but I'm not sure its high on the list.

Haha Blzer my friend! Look at the thread I just started. I feel guilty for saying the grass is green enough and the dirt is brown enough

The TC said the information was sparse...and people complain that the information is sparse?

Ain't that about a b...bad thing?
