People have said the grass pattern is finally right, and the outfield walls are the right color.

So it's not entirely identical to last year, and changes have been made.

That might be true. Hard to see in a stream. Honestly the grass pattern never bothered me. The outfield walls were always too "teal" colored before. I'll have to see if thats better tonight. I was looking for improved lighting in the city buildings behind the stadium, a properly illuminated "Indians" logo above the scoreboard and a tarp down the left field line that line-shots down the line ricochet of with regularity.

To my eyes, in a stream for less than 5 minutes I could not tell the difference from last year. Hope I am wrong. If they touched it at all it seems as if it will be minimal.

The building down the left field line is lit as is the one in left center. The ones beyond dead cf are not.
The logo is the same as last year and there is no tarp down the Lf line.

So exactly as expected. They did the "minimal" amount to be able to say it has been updated. It's a shame really as several other stadiums have illuminated logos on there scoreboards and facades. Really wish they could help us Tribe fans here.

Well, I guess I'm just sticking with MLB 14: The show since I only play with the Indians. I'd like to assume the renovations will be in MLB 16: The Show but we've been waiting years and years for a handful of fixes. The HOF park is still picnic tables isn't it? I remember it took several years to get the CF bar added. ugh.

Actually, it is.

I provided updated information on these renovations (in February), so needless to say, these did not make it in due to the extensiveness of the stadium model teardown/rebuild required.

Hope they fix the way the Indians logo above the scoreboard lights up at night it's never been right.
