At a certain point it may be better to just hire voice actors to do it. It would certainly be easier and more cost effective.

I agree 100%. It doesn't matter if Vin Scully or Eric Nadel or whomever is doing the commentary in the game if they simply cannot make it translate. Even though Dan Stevens and Peter O'Keefe repeated in their games too, they were able to make the commentary work because they are career voice actors.

another benefit to voice acting would be availability of the actors/cost presumable. I am still liking the idea if it is a cost issue, MLBTS having their "own" crew and have a DLC subscription of a few bucks to have updated commentary every week/month ect would probably have a demand.

At the end of the year and the next release that content gets added in and the people not wanting to pay will get get that content the following year in the new version.

If DLC could be carried over like it was in the past (stadiums) I wouldnt mind this game having the option to pay extra for some of this stuff. Since saves carry over now too, if I buy a stadium/jersey/commentary/equipment etc and it carries over or have a subscription to just always get everything that comes out (as long as stuff we have always had never went as DLC in the future) I pay it.

I wanna hear Sterling and Kay. I'm a Sox guy, but those two are great.

Kay? Meh. Not much of a Yankees person but I wouldn't mind Cone and Singleton.

Kay isn't always the most exciting announcer. But he's got great balance in his delivery for different situations.

I like Sterling for Yankees games, but not for video games. Same with Kuiper and Krukow (Giants), apparently.

Either voice actors or national broadcasters really seem to fit the bill best the majority of the time, sad as it seems.

I could only imagine if we had regional guys doing a video game. It would be hilarious, depending on the person. Like imagine Jack Edwards doing an NHL video game.

One of my favorite all time calls from Jack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4fAG4qrPE4

But I could see Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy doing a pretty good national video game. They are not homers, like a Jack Edwards or Hawk Harrelson.

Don and Jerry have amazing chemistry. They add a layer of pleasure in watching the Sox.

Of course as a Yanks fan, I'd love Sterling in the show! But I do think he'd be a great video game announcer, because just like Jon Miller, he's got "the perfect style" for a video game. You just know he'll get totally into it, imagine hearing that great booming voice through your speakers when you hit a homer!

Sterling was in a video game a looong time ago with Michael Kay. It was called All-Star Baseball 2000 on Nintendo 64. Ahhh yes...great times.

To be honest I think the Sox got lucky when Remy's son took the plea in his trial. Because I know I would not have felt comfortable hearing during the day, for instance that Jerry and his wife knew everything that was going on at the time, when he gave his testimony. And then at night everything is back to normal, with "Buenas noche amigos!!!"

Actually, I think it was be friggin hilarious to have Hawk Harrelson voice a game. As long as it was accurate to how he does play-by-play in real life, including:
1) talking for 10-15 minutes straight about players he played with/against back when he was in the league, and ignoring the actual game he is supposed to be calling

2) giving the silent treatment for a half inning whenever a relief pitcher gives up a go-ahead home run.

3) calling every umpire "terrible" or "horrible" if they make a call against the Chi Sox.

4) all classic 'Hawkisms' need to be included, including but not limited to "good guys/bad guys", "He Gone", "Can of Corn", "Us/Them", and of course "you can put it on the bbooooaaarrdddd.... YES!"

5) bonus if they include Steve Stone as the color commentator and they motion capture him rolling his eyes and shaking his head every time Hawk goes on one of his tirades.

Yeah, Sterling was in ASB 2000, but imagine how much better it would be now on ps4!

I know man I think he'd be a great voice for the new radio show.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Has New Human IK Engine, Tag System, Commentary, Overhauled Franc

Can we petition to get Bob Uecker in the game as play-by-play? I think he'd be epic, and he has done acting before, most notably in Major League, so I think he'd be a natural. They could even use some funny lines with him from the movie like "Juuuuust a bit outside." He'd be one of a few that could be convincing in the delivery of comedic lines from time to time. If Uecker were in the game I think I'd die a happy man. And I'm not even a Brewers fan.
