Re: Sounds of the Show Feedback

This was for PS3 in previous iterations. I played MLB14 on PS4...

Do you use Sound of the Show? If so, how extensively?

Record custom jeers/cheers for RTTS player
Upload specific team songs to play over PA
Upload broadcast intro/outro music bumpers

Do you find the Playlist Creator intuitive and easy to use?

The UI is a little cluttered, but once figured out it's not bad ...get a typeface/UI snob in there to clean it up

How easy or difficult is the Music Editor to use?

I'd give it a B-

Do you record custom yells and/or chants? Do you import other yell and chant audio files?

Yes to both. I uploaded Quaid's jeers from Major League... hilarious!

Are there additional Music or Yell/Chant categories that you’d like to see for Players or Teams?

Would love to see strong disapproval for A-Rod in road stadiums in MLB15

What changes or improvements would you like to see for this feature?

Make it available on PS4! Although I'm not a big DLC fan, I think this is an area SCEA could charge to have some really cool licensed team music, cheers/jeers, etc.

I assign music to the players on my roster from season to season. I also assign between innings music to my team and other popular, team specific songs for when I visit their stadiums. (Sweet Caroline, Thank God I'm a Country Boy, etc.)

Do you find the Playlist Creator intuitive and easy to use?
It's very easy to use. It's also very quick, unlike NHL 12, which takes forever to navigate through the menus.


How easy or difficult is the Music Editor to use?
I find it easy to use. Although, it did take some time getting to learn how it worked. It could probably be improved upon.


Do you record custom yells and/or chants? Do you import other yell and chant audio files?
No. But after reading this question, I might give it another go.

Players or Teams?

We should have a Break in Play slot. Going along with the playlist idea (below), this could play random songs during foul balls, in between pitches, and other lulls in the action. Along with this, maybe we could have an organ music BIP category.

There should also be a slider as to how often we hear normal music played as to organ music. Like with the Cardinals, I would set the slider at 50/50, normal vs. organ music. Other teams probably have a different ratio, but 50/50 is about right for St. Louis. If we don't have any organ music in our organ music slot, the game could use the same ratio, just with the default organ music already in the game.


A mound visit category, whether by the catcher, pitching coach, or manager, would be a good idea. Think of the Final Jeopardy! jingle.

It would be cool to have a National Anthem slot. After Mike Carlucci introduces the home team and when the slot has a song assigned to it, the game would show the visitors standing in front of the dugout and the home team out on the field for as long as the clip will play. Afterwards, the crowd would cheer and the game would go directly into the starting pitcher's warmup.

What changes or improvements would you like to see for this feature?
We need to have the ability to assign a playlist to any category, like in NBA 2K and NHL. For example, we could just create a 250 song playlist in the XMB and assign it to the End of 1st inning slot. Whenever that situation comes up, the game randomly picks a song off the playlist to play. This way, we could have multiple home run, walk, strikeout, hits, runs scored, and team entrance songs. This would also us to have more categories instead of multiples of the same thing.

Agree with all of these suggestions, especially the National Anthem idea. Love it. I sometimes use a National Anthem as my pre-game song, but love the idea of it being a separate slot altogether. I use national anthem for U.S. stadiums and O' Canada for games in Toronto. Cool twist.

Another example of needing a playlist instead of just one track. I have 10 or so national anthem songs (male singer, female singer, band) that could be randomly played.

No one knows for sure yet.

Re: Sounds of the Show Feedback

Sarcasm. I knew a long time ago there would be no SOTS but what really grinds my gears is how the show blamed it on Sony even though the SOTS menus are not designed to implement the feature as it is missing specific sub menus. Now what grinds my gears is they are asking if people even use the feature. SMH at all the brown nosers on this site especially the mods! There was never going to be a SOTS this year!

Re: Sounds of the Show Feedback

Hi everyone, we are looking for some feedback on the SOS feature. Just answer the questions below thx.

• Do you use Sound of the Show? If so, how extensively? (anywhere from assigning just your created player’s walkup music to assigning all Music and/or Yell and Chant categories for all players and teams)
• Do you find the Playlist Creator intuitive and easy to use?
• How easy or difficult is the Music Editor to use?
• Do you record custom yells and/or chants? Do you import other yell and chant audio files?
• Are there additional Music or Yell/Chant categories that you’d like to see for Players or Teams?
• What changes or improvements would you like to see for this feature?

Is Sounds of the Show going to make it into '16's game?? Can SCEA just use the USB/Media Player to assign custom music?

Re: Sounds of the Show Feedback

I'm speaking as a PS3 user, and as a few have said, one of the reasons why I haven't upgraded to a PS4 is the lack of a SOTS feature. I know it sounds silly, but it seems like a few have the same position that I do. SOTS really adds quite a bit of custom atmosphere to the game.

• Do you use Sound of the Show? If so, how extensively? (anywhere from assigning just your created player’s walkup music to assigning all Music and/or Yell and Chant categories for all players and teams)
  Yes, I use it every year. I always make sure that the Giants roster has as completely accurate walkup music as possible, along with the various stadium music between innings and the victory music. Given the frequent visits, I'll research the other teams in the NL West (except LA) and add music to those teams if I already have their songs at my disposal; I'll also do the same for Oakland since they're a regional rival. I may add some of the more distinctive stadium music to other teams (Sweet Caroline, et al). An MP3 I found of Harry Caray doing the 7th inning stretch a while ago has gotten significant use because of SOTS!
• Do you find the Playlist Creator intuitive and easy to use?
  I've never had any issues with it. It's only difficult if you have a ton of music to sort through
• How easy or difficult is the Music Editor to use?
  The fine tuning of the marks with L2/R2 can be tedious, but I can deal with it. I like how you can use three marks per song, as you can mark off the intro, chorus and coda if you care to.
• Do you record custom yells and/or chants? Do you import other yell and chant audio files?
  I've never delved into the custom chants/yells, but I have toyed with the idea of finding other's work online to use.
• Are there additional Music or Yell/Chant categories that you’d like to see for Players or Teams?
  - Perhaps the occasional "rally music" could be a new category, short sound bytes that can be played every so often to rev up the crowd, such as snippets from Centerfield or The Addams Family. We could add in an authentic Day-O to replace the one you had to change since the one in '13 sounded too much like the real one (this year's replacement sounds like a motorcycle revving). It'll also be an easy way to get the Blitzkrieg Bop sound byte back in the game without having to dust off your copy of '08!
  - Another category could be to have a slot for a starting pitchers' warmup music before first pitch. Even though I enjoy trying to get off all eight pitches before the generic music ends, I'd rather hear MadBum warm up to Fire On The Mountain.
• What changes or improvements would you like to see for this feature?
  - Some sort of Normalization option to balance out the loudly mastered songs and older rips with quieter mastering.
  - I have no idea why the home win music starts over again when the post game interview cutscene starts. I made a custom track for AT&T Park wins where a looped Song 2 chorus plays for 30 seconds, then fades to I Left My Heart In San Francisco. This effort was rendered useless a few years ago. I need my Tony Bennett!

Also, although I usually don't complain much about the soundtrack each year, I do enjoy customizing the Jukebox to add in my own tunes to the front end and elsewhere. I can't imagine what the PS4 users were going through when playing the *ahem* longer Community Challenges and hearing the same tracks over and over...

  If so, how extensively? (anywhere from assigning just your created player’s walkup music to assigning all Music and/or Yell and Chant categories for all players and teams). I really focus on the music. Using it for batter walk ups and home run songs are great. I love when I can give my created players a Metallica song or something, and have it play at the perfect spot in the song. I've always told myself I would create custom chants/taunts but never had a working bluetooth earpiece when I was in the mood to do it on PS3. But I'm still interested in this ability.
• Do you find the Playlist Creator intuitive and easy to use? Yes.
• How easy or difficult is the Music Editor to use? Piece of cake.
• Do you record custom yells and/or chants? Do you import other yell and chant audio files? No, but I've always wanted to. Never got around to it.
• Are there additional Music or Yell/Chant categories that you’d like to see for Players or Teams? Custom song to play after home team wins. (IE: "Go Cubs Go" after a Cubs win, etc.)
• What changes or improvements would you like to see for this feature?The PS3 version of Sounds of the Show met my needs perfectly I think.

I was hesitant to get my hopes up but Russell asking about it makes me think we may end up getting the feature back
