However, if you're still in early April, I don't think that its a bug. Its intentional.

From my test runs....it changes early May...gradually.

But some guys above are getting....green on day 1....then brown.....then green...etc.

I haven't had that myself though....just the initial day 1 green problem

Messed around with this a little last night. It's so bizarre. Someone said it earlier and I can confirm that the ivy can be fixed at least on opening day by saving the game and reloading the save. It's so strange. My OCD will make me go insane if this issue isn't fixed. Hopefully SCEA addresses it in a patch/update. Another option (like the closed roofs) would be to give us the ability to play with no ivy, some ivy, or full ivy. Allow us to select it before the game.

Funny enough, the very next game that I played, April 30, the ivy is fully green. I thought that in years past, they had a bit of a transition period where there was a level between the brown and the lush, alive ivy. No biggie though. When I first read the thread, I was concerned that it was staying brown all year long for some people.

LOL. I actually like how the Ivy is a visual analogy for the MLB season itself. From dead and brown in the early spring, to lush and green in the summer, and then finally a beautiful red in the Autumn. Its also cool that Wrigley literally comes alive in a way every year.

I have to say... I've never seen the ivy red at Wrigley.

It absolutely had a red tint back in the playoffs in 2003. I can't remember if I noticed it last year or not.

Off topic here -- but have your scoreboards been working in franchise mode? The past two games it has said that myself and the Cincinnati Reds were the only games in the league.
