Yeah this was heavily discussed last year when 14 came out. The Pitsburgh skyline was also brought up and photos showed it wasn't even that much off!

Yep hopefully all tjr night lighting has bern sorted, from neon signs to pitch dark seating areas.

Was very inconsistent last year.

At&T looked fantastic at night. Others not so much.

A few more...

Busch Stadium:
The Redbirds should really standout in neon Red along with the Cardinals (Budweiser) sign underneath them.

Also, the Coca Cola sign in centerfield should be neon white with the bottle on each side in a neon mint green (ala same as the Cola bottle at AT&T Park)

Progressive Field (Indians sign):
The Indians sign should be lit in neon white, similar to what was done for U.S. Cellular Field's scoreboard and pinwheels in MLB The Show 14:

Except, I could show you pictures of when I was there 4th of July weekend back in 2010 and the building were way more lit than that. Its all about when the pics are taken.

Its off by quite a bit.

All of those lights were visible during the actual game. Its what impressed me so much about the park since it was my first time there.

Found this picture of the Pittsburgh skyline at night that seemed a little more "lit up"

Had to add just a few more pics...

Comerica Park (Tigers script on scoreboard):
They did a great job on this in terms of the letters displaying other content like from the scoreboard. Just needs to be outlined in orange neon:

Safeco Field:
I'm very biased on this one as this is the ballpark I attend the most. The Safeco sign is one of the things that REALLY stands out. Need the Blue neon for the 'Seattle Mariners' portion of the sign along with the gold outline and white of the lettering. Also can't forget the Red neon of the clock hands:

Citizens Bank Park:
They actually just about nailed this part, but it was like there was a bug that made the Liberty Bell not completely light up. I can't imagine that it wasn't fixed for '15. Would be cool if they implemented some of the other looks to the Bell like the dotted stars.:

This was one of my biggest gripes with 14 because they played up the all-new built from scratch stadiums and new lighting system, and then a lot of the ballparks looked like they were half-finished because of lighting issues like these.

Really hope all of these are fixed.

Just to make sure it is understood that the work they implemented last year was fantastic, they absolutely nailed AT&T Park in San Francisco and Target Field.

The neon Coke Bottle and scoreboard clock in AT&T was perfect. I still like to play exhibition games at both of those parks just because they feel so real.

I thought Dodger Stadium was pretty good too (I know some have posted structural inconsistencies).

Playing sunny day games at both Pittsburgh and San Diego is cool too as there is so much there visually.

Really hoping they have another Cathedrals video like they did for '14 showing all of the ballpark enhancements.
