MLB The Show 23 ‘Citi Field’ big scoreboard

According to reports (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10), multiple players had earlier faced an issue where the Citi Field’s scoreboard dimensions were way bigger than they normally should be.

It was alleged that the developers had not properly researched while designing the stadium’s scoreboard.

Gamers were of the view that the development team should have featured more of a realistic stadium rather than an improperly designed one. And expectedly, they took to web forums to express their displeasure.

One of the players was of the view that the scoreboard needed to be redesigned and attention needed to be given to even minor details while designing the same.

And thankfully, the developers did listen to the players’ request and replaced the Citi Field scoreboard with the old layout. However, it appears that this decision has not been well received by gamers.

Some MLB The Show 23 players (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) are dissatisfied since the developers simply switched the new board for the old one rather than modifying it and adding new details and elements.

And understandably, they are frustrated, with others alleging that the right field dimensions are inaccurate as well.

Gamers are now once again requesting the developers to introduce a new and optimized scoreboard layout instead of sticking with the old one.
