WOW, I can't believe some of these pics. The lighting must of been a pain to implement in the game, but wow does it look amazing. I don't even know what to say...but thanks.

I'm actually playing right now in Miller Park in the NLCS. After seeing that pic of yours Jim, I can't believe the difference between 08-09. If it wasn't a 1-0 pitchers duel between huddy and CC, I don't think I could finish it. That has to be one of the greatest screens of any game. Great shot.

That is does. Quite astonishing what this lighting has done. Really breathes new life into the engine. Love all the different sky conditions. Now if they could just touch the grass & dirt with that reality pen..... this things alive.lol

What era were those uni's from? I couldn't even tell what team it was until I saw the pic with Daric Barton jumping up for the ball and saw the A's were playing the sox.

Quick question, I've seen a couple pictures of the high stirrups which is awesome, but are low stirrups in the game as well?

Agreed. Awesome capture by our resident artist.

There are so many things to love about the details in these pics, it's crazy.

All but one of the stadiums on the disk the Community Day guys played had incorrect grass textures - they were missing a layer that adds both depth and noise. I dont recall which one actually had it (not seeing it in the shots tho) but I DO know that we have since put it in all of the stadiums.
