All right, I've gotta post this because it is the only thing killing my buzz about this game. Let me say I think this game is hands down the best baseball game ever. However my team, the Astros, have uniform issues. If your favorite team had missing or incorrect uniforms you'd probably gripe too. My point is that I'm not here to bring the game down, but bring up these corrections so that in the future this game gets as close to 'perfect' as it can. I've heard about the MLB style guide, so if the style guide is off, I guess I can only hope MLB updates it for next season:
ASTROS UNIFORMS
The road alternate checks out okay as well as the Saturday home alternate (whites/red cap) and ST away. That just leaves the default home and away as well as the ST home and Sunday home alternate in need of attention.
The default home uniforms should have solid red numbers on the front. In the game they are black with the sand and red outline, exactly like they are on the backs of the player. This is annoying to me because it's the default uni, they've been the same since 2000.
The default away uniform should in turn have solid black numbers on the front. The game has the red numbers outlined in sand and black, exactly like the ones on the backs of the players.
The red top/white pant sunday home alternates are also not in the game to my dismay. The aways are okay, they say 'Houston' on the front and have the gray pants, but the home version is AWOL. Wouldn't be such a biggie if they weren't worn every Sunday at home.
The Spring Training home uniforms feature the default home pinstriped pants. These pants with the red ST top make a hideous combo. The correct pants are the home alternate white pants with the black piping. I know they're just ST unis but they really look awful with the pinstripes IMHO.
Here here to a great game!
