    Is it just me or...(Wrigley Field related)

    Does Wrigley Field look better on 2k than it does on The Show?

    I havent' played either game. I've read about how great The Show is, and i'm one that has actually entertained the idea of buying a PS3 for The Show (mostly because I'm in the market for a blu-ray player for my HD tv anyway, and it'd be the same price as buying a standalone bluray player). But then again I actually LIKED 2k8, so maybe I'm someone that wouldn't mind 2k9...

    But from screen shots I've seen, it seems something is "off" about Wrigley in The Show? The grandstand in center field looks funky. And what's with the Budweiser rooftop in left field being blue in The Show?

    Am I just seeing things guys, or is this something 2k actually beat The Show in?

      Do you have a screen shot from roughly the same angle of The Show to compare? I could have sworn I saw a screen shot of the Show where the Budweiser red roof building in left field is blue in the Show, which is a ridiculous mistake.

        They changed it and it is blue in real life now, I think they changed it last postseason. Here's a picture from the hockey game at wrigley, which was after last season ended sometime.

          Actually, I swear I read somewhere that the roof has been changed to blue in real life and no says "Drinkability" on it.


          Anyway, you're right that it's blue in The Show...but I honestly think it's now supposed to be.

          EDIT: Seems I was right...thanks duke

            That bottom pic of the real Wrigley is old and it's been updated since then. They added the "Batter's Eye" seats under the scorboard where the hedges are, which you can see in the 2K screenshot, so it's more accurate in that aspect.

              What is that four-story billboard made out of? Plexiglass? It's transparent. The cost of that thing. And the ground below it must be littered with bird carcasses...

              These are the thoughts that drift thru my mind when playing 2K9, at Wrigley, and I'm at the plate.

                lol...well the good news for me is that Wrigley no longer has that rediculous extra billboard (a mysterious new building is in it's place instead...lol).

                Thanks to Pirate and his stadium mod for the PC, Wrigley looks much better

                  Im a Cubs fan so i should know this 100% but i dont. what i think hapened is during that game (hockey) they rented out the rooftop for the particluar company or they didnt have the rights to advertize during a hockey game. it was red during the playoffs and will be red during the season.

                    Wrong. The drinkability ad was there in the post season. Look at any shot taken at the nlds. It is there, blue. I love how 2k chose not to include the knot hole again this year (pure laziness, its in the show), that batter's eye looks horrendous as well. The only positive 2k's version has over the show is that the ivy has some depth, everything else is bad.

                        I saw some pictures posted on here in the series with the dodgers that showed it being blue, I'll try to find them.

                            Pause at 1:11 in this video, it shows the roof being blue saying "Drinkability" on it.



                            You can also see that it is game 2 of the nlds at 1:42, which shows the scoreboard of where the Dodgers put up a 5 spot in the 2nd inning().
