MLB The Show 13 Gameplay Video - Atlanta Braves vs. Washington Nationals (Postseason)

[bautistabomb]

lots of stuttering in the video. This has me concerned. I wonder if going the digital download route would help this in any way. Not smooth at all.

It is somewhat similar to the call in The Show, maybe the announcer from the Phillip's home run said "Goooone" with a little bit more enthusiasm than Vasgersian.

LOL, funny thing is that second homerun call is actually Matt Vasgersian.

this might be the last year i buy this game for awhile. love this franchise to death but for a guy who listens to baseball on the radio, the commentary simply needs to be better. only watched 4 mins of the vid because I was disappointed.

People thinking that the commentary is the easiest thing to do just make me laugh. That's twice as true with Baseball, as there are constant chess matches going on in the game. Go watch your local guys on television and think about how that can translate into a game. What do broadcasters do when there is no action on the field? Do they announce every count or do they bring fourth anecdotes and interesting statistics? There is only so much they can do with what they are using; they aren't going to get these guys to come sit in your living rooms and call every play.

Hell, they could bring Jack Buck and Harry Carry from the grave, throw in Vin Scully and have Fred Astaire **** tap dance through the whole seventh inning stretch and there would be calls from people that say the commentary is still boring or everything in the sound department needs a redux. No pleasing some people I guess...

Haha I listened to it, but I didnt pay attention to who it was. I'm gonna listen to it again.
Edit: Ok well maybe Matty doesn't get that excited in The Show.

Geez how I miss him commentating for the Padres... I wonder how much I'd have to pay to have him sit in my living room and commentate while I play The Show

To be fair, radio broadcasters are more animated and descriptive with the purpose of giving you a visual that you cannot see. So radio broadcast =/= television broadcast.

The commentary is pretty below average in The Show, but I'm a little confused as to why this is suddenly such a hot topic in this thread.. Did I miss the announcement they made about improved commentary? I'm pretty sure there wasn't one, so I don't really see what the issue is here.

If anything worthwhile had been reworked with the commentary, we would have known about it. SCEA would've promoted the **** out of something like that.

The commentary in The Show isn't good. It hasn't really ever been good... We all know it. So why would it be any different this year?

Anyways, I loved the video there, and I can't wait to pick up the game next week. Game looks great as always.
