Re: MLB The Show 16 Twitch Stream - The Little Things (Archive Available)

Did you not hear in the last 2 streams that they had the announcer audio cut out all together. Did you not hear that the game is still being developed and still a work in progress?

After watching the last couple of streams and seeing various improvements that are coming, I think SCEA deserves the benefit of the doubt they have made improvements.

We have heard before in past years that commentary has been improved only for it to be the same dull experience. As soon as i heard matt v was still in the game i lost hope for 16 in that department.

I agree. I tend to be somewhere in between the staunch, unblinking supporters and the venomous critics of the devs on this game. I try to be objective. The visuals look pretty much the same to me right now as before (including animations), which is ok because it's WIP. But at the same time, you can tell they've sunk a ton of effort into this edition. There are actually more new bits and pieces than I was expecting and some of it is pretty subtle (where the catcher sets up to receive, the custom bullpen cameras, etc...etc...), but they definitely deserve credit for the effort and for being responsive on things (SOTS, retractable roofs etc..) and for people to withhold total judgment until it's done.

I would say I'm still teetering on account of stat tracking, which is a big deal for me. Once we get more info there, I'll know whether '16 is going to be an A and an 'auto-purchase' or a C+ and a 'might purchase' for me personally.

Yea, I hate when the "buff" player models look fat.

Ya, Josh Donaldson looked really chunky.

Same for Chris Davis in past versions. The thing about Schwarber in the stream, his gut is over exaggerated but his swing is on point.

I was gonna mention that, they nailed his stance, I just want his gut normal. I'm going to be the Cubs in a franchise and little things like that bother me. I'm gonna be annoyed every time he comes to the plate. Hoping I can change his shape.

Anyone else notice that they had WAR on the list of stats during the roster update section that they were going through?

Have you ever watched a live game called by Matty V? He's one of the best out there. I love Gary Thorne, but listening to him as the play-by-play guy for the Orioles he gets alot of his stuff wrong. His strong suit is his broadcasting voice.

The problem is the in game commentary is dreadful. It does not come off like what your hearing when watching a real life broadcast. I can only compare from what i have heard between the two when recorded for video game commentary and its not even close. Gary's voice just has more life to it.

It's been known Adidas wasn't in. Evoshield, Oakley, and All Star are the new brands. They also expanded on the current gear.

I think Adidas & NB will make in. I never envisioned Oakley and Evoshield making it in. A year at time. They can't give us everything at one time. LOL....

Are Fast Play and Hybrid the only two options? Is there a Full option?

Broadcast is still an option.

Also saw new presentation when Taylor Jungmann came onto the field.

Sounds good. Hybrid sounds like a good compromise but I like to play on broadcast and then choose whether I skip depending context like situation and how much time I have.

I wouldn't want to be forced into Hybrid and lose all my cut scenes during future games because I had a bad game where I got frustrated and X'ed through everything.

Matty V isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

OS got an early shout out and very happy it was geared towards SOTS.

OSFM + SOTS + QC's + better franchise mode = GOAT

Now I'm just even more anxious to see what happened with franchise...only mode I play. Fingers are crossed that the scouting/draft process was re-vamped!

Well that is not good news if true. But honestly i would not be surprised since he has been used for commentary for as long as i can remember from the ps2 versions.

I just spent the past couple hours playing the Show 13, and fiddling around with SOTS, i downloaded the 2013 Blue Jays pack from the SOTS section, and it makes a huge difference in overall feel while playing the game. Intro music, different music in the middle of every inning, different music at the end of every inning, music for walks, homers, rbis, batter walkup music, pitcher warmup music, and it's all accurate as well.

Those guys in the sounds of the show section do an amazing job, and now i'm stoked for SOTS this year.
