Did you get a chance to look into the flag issues at Progressive Field? I think you were the one who replied to my comment about them.

But alas, it seems you genuinely were uncertain, so I'm just glad you got answered.
I mean obviously i have no time for single base hits.....do you think i am some sort of peasant?!?! lol

I guess theres just some baseball lingo we don't use in Chicago...??...ive always heard what you guys are discribing as "texas leaguers" as "duck snorts"...

I like the new catcher meter as outs will not be automatic anymore. It's nice they added more accessories too. The hitting variations looks promising. I'm also concerned with framerate, new commentary/presentation, and pro support.

I'm so used to seeing those mounds on the sides. They've always been there. It's gonna be weird this season having pitching changes and watching guys come out of the Ivy-covered wall in order to pitch. Plus the bullpen arms warming up indoors.
IMO it should be a requirement that all stadiums have bullpen mounds out of the field of play. Too many safety hazards. Maybe the occasional ball getting loose as well, but that has nothing to do with it.

Hopefully they fixed the issue with the ivy changing back and forth between the brown and green this year

Did anyone else notice new catcher set up and receiving animations? It was just a quick look, but I could have sworn they weren't the same ones we've had forever.

Pretty sure those were new last year.

Million dollar question....

With the new "ground balls curving down the line" physics, will there be doubles in them thar hills?

Between that and the "Humanity AI" that will apparently make AI defenders misplay balls off the wall more often, I'd imagine we'll be seeing a lot more doubles this year out of the box.

Well I would hope the ball is going to react just like real life now.

So whether its's 20 times or 50 times if it is 99% like real life then why would anyone complain?

At 27 seconds you can get a good view of a certain logo on the left field wall that may or may not give away something about presentation....

The MLB Network logo was in 16 as well. This isn't new.

1:46 mark Left Center Field wall logo at Petco.
