I enjoyed this stream the most so far. I'm fascinated by what it takes to put together a good presentation. Ive always thought Matt V was great in this game. I'm glad he's not going anywhere. I understand people's frustration with hearing the same lines again and again, but you get that in every sports game. Looks like the new guys really have a nice plan in motion going forward.

Plus I sort of feel like I'm on the same wavelength on their ideas. I don't post much but I know I asked for multiple score bugs and overlays in a wish list thread a couple years ago. I thought a different look for midweek games and national weekend broadcasts would add something. Very cool.

seemed like they skipped over the Crowd Emotion system? Did anyone hear anything about that? (improvements, additions, etc)

Somehow, I forgot that was ever mentioned. That could be a big improvement. I'd like to see it touched on in a future video.

Shame that the scorebug no longer shows the pitch speed when the pitch callout is set to off. Was great when they added that in a few years back, but I forget which year exactly it was lost. With the new presentation and scorebugs it really stands out now that the pitch speed doesn't show up on the score bug if the pitch callout setting is set to off. Means you can never get clean broadcast look and see the pitch speeds. Most broadcasts have that in their scorebug.

It seems like this year (or last years cycle) would have been the perfect time to replace Matt and the team. I know he has ties to San Diego and obviously has had a connection with someone at SCEA for along time. However with all the work and good ideas put in this year, this was the year to replace him. He's good but just too old for this game its been what 11 years I heard?
There is all this new content but the same guy it still feels stale from hearing the stream. It sounds like a great step forward just with the wrong guy IMO
could be worse though

That is a bit of a drag, I really like having that clean broadcast look but love having the pitch speeds shown too. I even hate how in real life the broadcasts are getting more and more crowded with graphics every season. A couple of seasons ago NESN introduced a strike zone/pitch tracker graphic thats on screen at ALL TIMES and frigging hate it.

I was feeling the same way as you are for the last couple of years, Matty V and the rest were feeling just so flat and stale and I was looking for a change. But I tell you, that stream today has changed my feelings a bit. With this new thread commentary system in place, if they can continue to make his delivery feel more and more organic like how its sounding in today's stream and adding to it, I'm all for keeping him around. Especially if it saves development time so they can focus on other areas of the game next year.

HD will be up at some point

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but go to 24:37 and watch the chalk line as Tulowitzki kicks the dirt. That's awesome!

online franchise still fast play only.....ouch buzzkill

Very dissapointed in this. Nothing worse then opening day/playoffs/word series with no presentation. Win the world series and nothing. Gm over

The commentary looks to be well improved, the back and forth about Tulo was especially good, and they said they have those for a lot different players too. Can't wait to hear some.

The time lapse thing between innings , i think they called them aerials, look really good, and they have 2 per team, one for day games and one for night games.

I was hoping to hear something about crowd reaction in big moments, for key hits, etc. And overall crowd atmosphere. Wondering about any changes there. Hopefully some new walk-off and series winning presentations.

The accessories on the players also looked a lot better in this stream compared to past ones.

I wish Bryce Harper looked better though, that batting stance doesn't do him justice, and he looks kind of small.

And no new hair/beards in create a player is a mini heartbreaker.

I like the 3 different overlays they showed. I wonder if the transition screens like where the MLB The Show 16 logo flash are different. Maybe future editions they'll do something like that to really bring out the TV production feel.

I wonder too if there are different overlays when you get to playoffs. Imagine one for the DS, one for the CS, and one for the WS! It would be a lot of work to do all of that but again in the future it's something I'd love to have. Really step up the playoff feeling with some fancy pants graphics and transitions. A different set for spring training and for the minor league games would be sweet too. I love that we have reached the point that since the fundamentals are so well done they can branch out and add these neat little things.

They didn't talk much about or show the improvements to crowd reactions. It seems to be a very difficult thing for most games to get right for some reason. Any chance it would be possible to get a full length game video before release? Like a 9 inning CPU vs CPU game uploaded to YouTube or something of just full unedited gameplay? I'm craving it man..

Please tell me Bryce's hair flip is in the game somehow.. Although if it was I doubt they would leak it they probably would want us to discover it on our own.

Another thought. When the game is on fast play (like playing online) how does that affect the commentary? Do we still get stories like the tulo one? I'd love to have the announcers talk about my players and my opponent players DD stats.. like from the last 10 games played and stuff of that nature.

Just watched the entire presentation stream... I am blown away.

That Tulo story (the one re: "threading") was superbly done. The story itself was great, and the quick intermittent comments to gameplay were also masterfully done. No lengthy sentences wasted on simple strikes and balls, just keeping the "viewer" casually updated, and then back to the story.

Exactly as it is done in real life.

The aerials were great too, especially the Nevada (I think) one with the rocks and stuff.

Out of the three or four videos I've seen, this stream definitely left the biggest impression on me. So many additions that are not only great in concept, but great in execution.

Edit: I mean Arizona, not Nevada... because that's the state that actually has a baseball team in it. whatever it's 1 am and I'm going to bed.

I'm sorry if this was asked and I missed it...

Can quick presentation be turned off in a online franchise this year?

I haven't had more than 5 hours of sleep a night since the new year. I'm basically surviving off red bull and kale smoothies to keep from passing out lol.

I hope you enjoy your vacation after the game releases...I am utterly excited about the game and we haven't even gotten to see the franchise stream.

I didn't like it initially but the gradual seep of information was truly the way to go versus just giving us everything at once like in previous years. It really allows the fan base to see/understand what changes have been made to each facet of the game.

I believe it was actually Colorado they said. I was expecting more snow it did look very sunny and warm!
