City Search

Sometimes I can't put in a birth city for a player because it can't find it. If it's on Google Maps, it should be in the game.

Are you talking about current players or historical players? For historical players, sometimes their birthplaces can't be found because those cities and towns no longer exist.

I live in a town of 60,000 and it's not in the selection. Some available selections are not actually towns but are sections of towns. Where I live there are multiple post offices. People in Plantsville get insulted if you say they live in Southington.

Like Brooklyn has a Red Hook section. I don't know where the devs get their information from. I certainly can't blame them for not including every little town in their data. But larger towns s/b included.
When choosing the weather for a stadium there is a Blue Hill in Massachusetts. I can't find any reference to this town using Google.
