Whats going on with the crowd on the upper levels of the stadiums? They seem flat, like cutouts?
I noticed this in the demo as well. Up close, the crowd looks okay and animated but as you pan further out into the distance, they flatten out. I suspect this was done to help keep the framerate respectable. I can live with that.
Overall, I think the stadiums look fantastic. They obviously focused some effort into them this year.
The stadiums generally look very good. However, why do some background buildings in some parks look blurry? Most of the stadiums do have clear backgrounds.
Yes it does. It's the new Hilton they built in 2007-2008 to attach to the Baltimore Convention Center.
It does block out the Bromo-Seltzer Tower. They had a version of it in last year's game, but it's pretty much spot on for this year's.
Good eye.

Games do that to save on the frame-rate. Some do it better than others but they all do it. Yes, even on a picture.
BTW, neither game will have the wall at Citi Field correct. Happened way too late for either to get that in. Stinks.
I was pleasantly suprised to see that the pics which look like they are at dusk (namely the Turner field pics) have the 1st inning displayed on the scoreboard. I know its small but it really annoyed me last year about the horribly implemented progressive lighting.
