No no no I understand that I was just pointing out the Jays had most of the new bio pics finished already. That's all I was doing.

You are getting good at this! Even got an immediate response. I was wondering where that other pic came from too, because I was positive the Jays jerseys were right in the ESPN shots. Off-topic: I don't think any console has the processing power to accurately reproduce Bautista's (or Posada's) ears...lol.

Good catch indeed the led strip board under the HD jumbotron is missing. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like on the real one.

Looks like the Marlins

I don't know if this is new, but does anyone else see how sparse the crowd looks in the fifth deck at the Rogers Centre?





Seeing that I did not play as/against them in franchise, was this simply a feature of selling tickets at less than full capacity, or is this something new to see in stadiums in this year's game? That is, we should see more people in the lower deck and closer to home plate than other areas.

I don't yet think they are reflecting attendances off the real teams, though (since the Padres shouldn't be selling the way the pictures indicate ). I know there are issues with doing this because it looks bad for the MLB or whatever it is, but hopefully they can find a workaround someday.

Also, have we always had two-toned bats? I don't recall being able to choose that color for my player last year, but maybe it was the year before...

I meant as far as the game goes. I know all the teams that had fashion shows have done their's already (for the most part.) And I'm sure Bautista had his, since he was one of the models.

So the roof being open in Toronto and the player wearing long sleves makes me feel like retractable roofs did not make it in again.

Such a tease having Josh Johnson so far away in that Bautista shot. I would love to see how the Marlins orange jersey looks up close.

Also, I like how Hanley is still wearing teal cleats.

As explained (though I don't know the explanation of the explanation itself), the only way to make retractable roof stadiums is to make two completely different stadiums. I don't know if they can begin with a copy-and-paste job and then reconstruct the rest (and cut off the right lighting, etc.), but the bigger issue, aside from time, would be the amount of memory that it would take up. Off the top of my head, there are six current stadiums that feature retractable roofs. I'm not sure if they can fit all of that into their game with appropriation.

Don't get me wrong, it would be a legit thing to have. In fact, even if they can't do it, I would vote for Chase Field to have it closed by default instead, since that's how most of their games are played at home. (it closes the panels against the center field facing as well).

But alas, I do believe it will be something we'll have to wait for on the next-gen console.

Maybe that's a third tease, that you can mix and match different "uni" cleats along with the jerseys and pants. So maybe Hanley is wearing current tops and bottoms, but has "Florida throwback" cleats on.
