They took the jumbotrons out. I'm assuming the other renovations made it in still.

Expect this to take around 2 hours to even process 360p.

For game purposes, there isn't much more to see than that. Script signage in the outfield, and maybe the bullpens were moved? Many of the actual renovations are stadium things that wouldn't be featured in the game.

OF Lights....... Also did they make some changes in CF with the batters eye?

The green banner that has "Chicago Cubs" on it is supposed to be an LED ribbon board, but since we haven't seen it in real life yet, I'm assuming it would be a static image in-game. I guess I'll see if they show it off on Thursday.

I highly doubt that! More likely is that all the devs are sleeping 3-4 hours per night and trying to hammer on any bugs, get everything working, and start optimizing. This is probably their craziest time of the year, imo.

These streams are all marketing. They are just trying to get their core fan base stoked as can be to ensure the best pre-order and Day 1 sales that they can get. I'm sure they also know that public opinion trends about whether a game is good or not are set on sites like this and others like it, so they are testing to see what we "like" and if they find it, they'll try to advertise more of it.

Sure, this sounds like a cynical analysis (and it is), but they're also a solid group of devs who seem like a fun bunch and want to make a good game in addition to what their business people are telling them to do.

I have no idea how you get a computer AI to challenge a close call that would not go in their favor.

May sound silly but the one thing that I was most pleased with in this video is that they FINALLY have "Official Major League Baseball" on the actual baseball and the commissioners signature. Used to be that there was just a MLB logo. I've always wondered why it didn't have the other writing that was on there.
