Compare the Cubs logo between an authentic jersey and a replica. The replica has a very small white outline outside the blue circle. The game should model the jerseys off of the authentic, obviously.

You are correct. And that is probably because the artists use actual replica jerseys rather than a game jersey to design from.

The cuts, stitching and style of an authentic game jersey is far different than what is sold at retail. The game should advise and seek out the real thing, when possible.

I agree, completely. I have many, many authentic jerseys. Cubs, Bears and Blackhawks. Probably close to twenty total. Of all the useless things to be an expert on, I'm an expert on authentic jerseys. I notice it frequently in The Show. Not the end of the world by any means but I wish they'd change it.

I'll give them credit this year on the jerseys though, more so than years past. This year the numbers have a little bit of sheen to them, they look like the actual tackle-twill that teams use on jerseys. The lighting on the actual numbers is pretty good. Now if they'd just give some, "weight," to them and logos. Example: The Cubs logo should not bend with the rest of the jersey. As it stands now, it looks like it's screen printed in the game because essentially its just pasted onto the jersey in the game. Again, the uniforms look good, but this is just next-level stuff.
