I really only care if we have some in-game highlights of other games going on in franchise and have some weekly/nightly game recap show.

In-game highlights of other games would be really cool, if possible.

I coulda sworn PS4 pro enhancements were listed on one of the later streams on the stream schedule. Has this disappeared or do I keep missing it? Trying to figure out if I need to upgrade?

You're seeing things.

Nah man, I'm just bursting your bubble.

I don't like Kenny but Amsinger has been a great host since the debut of the network. I really like the guy!

I agree. He's entertaining. He keeps guys focused, most of the time. He asks good questions.

Side note, how someone can love BK and his constant usage of advanced metrics, and then also like Harold Reynolds is beyond me. Harold is literally the guy who judges how much 'grit' and 'heart' a player has as if it's relevant. The only stats that matter to him are batting average, RBI, and homeruns. He's so old school ball player that it's off putting as a commentator. But, opinions are opinions. We all have them.

I am really excited for the stream. Especially since they said online modes can have a full presentation again.

I do online franchise with 3 other buddies. We play each other a good amount being in the same division, but most of our games are against the CPU. So it was really unfortunate not having any sort of presentation the last couple years. It was a bummer winning the World Series and being sent straight to a box score after the last out.

Cant wait to see what the stream has in store.

Oh, I'm a devout member of the Sabermetric cult, so I appreciate BK's approach. Why, is Amsinger a stats guy too? I feel like every time I see him he's just talking about dudes' hair.

Are Lauren Shehadi and Heidi Watney in the game? I didn't watch the video because I didn't watch it.

I'd settle for Kelly Nash even.

Are you wanting the ladies in the game for their journalistic attributes or something else? Because even PS4 Pro graphics would not do them justice. Look at the cheerleaders in NBA 2K.

So now that there is a MLB Network presentation and as it sounds like it will include all the same stat overlays, animations and theme music and so on. It got me thinking you know how a lot of us here really want the commentary to go over and talk about the starting line ups before the game begins like it used to be MLB The Show years ago. Well does the commentators do that on the real MLB Network baseball broadcasts? Because if they indeed do then don't you think that should also be included in MLB The Show 17 as well?

Also another cool thing I think they should do with the presentations is you know how if you put the controller down for a while and you will get funny player, umpire and even fan presentations that play out. Like for example I was playing with the White Sox at their home stadium and I put the controller down for a few minutes and a presentation came on where 2 fans and the White Sox team mascot cam onto the field and were holding a bat and spinning really fast. These types of presentations should sometimes be shown perhaps like right after the inning break. This is usually when they show this kind of stuff on real baseball Broadcasts. Because the issues now is you only get to see all these funny presentations if you put the controller down for a while. So a lot of us most likely will never even see these presentations!

And also just like on real baseball broadcasts when returning from the inning break instead of going right to the first batter all the time instead you should sometimes hear the commentators with pretty on screen overlays maybe talking about upcoming team schedules, game start times and pitching Match ups, Standing updates, RBI and Home Run leaders, News from around the league and so on! MLB 2K did a lot of these kind presentations during the game.



These kind of enhancements would send MLB The Show's presentation though the the Roof!!!

Ramone, I was just wondering did the crowds get some facial upgrades as well this year ??

Yeah, that's the beauty of televised baseball. It doesn't feel rushed. The commentators can go off on a well timed tangent about the current state of the league, an MVP race, an upcoming schedule, a prospect... and you it can all be between a pitch or after a break.

I don't get the infatuation of on-air talent, it has never done anything for me. I really appreciated NFL 2K "actors" being broadcasters it was probably the best ever.

I've actually mentioned this, specifically seeing the mascots walking around in the stadium in real time. Not just the cutscenes on top of the dugout. The cool thing I learned during one of the CDs was that those cutscenes actually happen in real-time. I don't know if it's in this year, but would love to see this too.

That, and actual manned TV cameras throughout the stadium, lol.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Adds MLB Network with Harold Reynolds, Dan Plesac & Matt Vasgersi

I think it'd be neat if, before each game, they have an MLB Network studio host (maybe Greg Amsinger) doing a quick overview of the match-up and throwing things over to the broadcast team, and the broadcast team acknowledging it.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Adds MLB Network with Harold Reynolds, Dan Plesac & Matt Vasgersi

The new announcers are certainly a welcome addition, but if the commentary isn't more dynamic or varied then it will get stale quickly.

I hope references to home runs that happened earlier in the game have more varied commentary as well as the highlight package at the end of the game. As it stands now the commentary in those areas is stale and repetitive.
