The infield ground color makes a huge difference in MLB The Show ballparks

[seanjeezy]

I use warm 2 and custom calibration also and it looks a little better, but that doesn't have any effect on screen or video captures. Minor quibble I know, but still important.

Since this was brought up years ago by whoever I do pay attention to the colors and dirt in stadiums I visit. It is one thing The Show doesn't seem to have any grasp on at all when it comes to realism. For those that don't attend parks in real life I guess it doesn't matter much. For those that attend real parks The Show looks like it has a drought going on lol. I expect 15 might have some improvements....

If you were closer, like in the batter's box, it would look darker than those wide shots. For day games The Show is pretty spot on. To make night games "perfect" there would need to be some sort of algorithm that allows for the hue of the grass to change dynamically, in real time, based on the stadium lights and camera angle/distance. I know NOTHING about coding so I don't know if this is easy or impossible.

The Show is in no way whatsoever spot on for the majority of ballparks during the day or the night. I look forward to many improvements in this area in years to come.
