I wonder if its a copyright issue so they have to edit the look, but why does Sears Tower look so wonky in the game? It's a very minor thing but it reminds me of the original Watch_Dogs look where they added extra sections
The local weatherman, trust me I can be 99.9% right!

Maybe it's just because we're getting into territory I have some familiarity with, or maybe it's just the scale problem, but Illinois is the first state in the game where I've felt a lot is missing. Like I-270 across the north side of StL, and the Tri-State Tollway. I know beltways are often omitted in this game, but these are the de-facto through routes for major cross-country travel. And I-55 in Illinois has like a dozen junctions with other freeways but only two service exits? They really should have tried to include a few more service interchanges, even if they're not driveable. And more local road overpasses.
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

The problem with doing that is knowing real-life roads can put you at a disadvantage, since they aren't always  in the game.

Or, as that person found out, they aren't always drivable.

You are absolutely right! Many 3di's can't be found/accessible, so if you wanted to bypass a city or maybe spur right into a downtown, chances are that you'll be SOL.
