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.

NEWS FLASH!!!!

All Videogame commentary is and will become stale. It is the nature of "recording". People champion NBA 2k but they don't play franchise, if you play franchise for longer than 5 games you will know, this game suffers from what all sports games suffer from stale old repetitive lines.

There is no Holy Grail, dynamic commentary, just play and slay.

This is why I don't understand videogame makers not doing the obvious.

Make commentary around fundamentals/animations, general OSD's. Leave the stories to the story tellers.

Hence the word dynamic. If it is dynamic and refers to numbers or situations that happened earlier in the game then it is less likely to get stale.

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

Now that's actually a "little thing" I would love to see after all these years of no cameramen..

Dynamic, was a sarcastic statement, there is nothing dynamic about "recording".

If dynamic is defined as constant change then maybe the only real way to replicate that in sports video games would be to have the commentary done the same way as those dynamic roster updates. Even if its paid-for DLC

I think this is a very interesting idea... though I'm not sure .

I like the idea of being able to replay some highlights using those different (preset) camera angles and simply stitch them together to create realistic broadcast style movies.

You could try to do this with the existing camera feature but it cannot be moved off the field into the stand and also it's quite a chore to create them without using preset.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video Featuring MLB Network

Same here. Looks like my virtual Pirates just signed a TV deal with MLB Network, lol.

I assume you're a pirates fan.

My dream is to have a Greg brown's clear the deck calling in the game just for the bucco's.

You're seeing things.

That may be true, but Nick said during earlier stream that SCEA will showcase PS4 Pro during upcoming stream. I too am interested because only reason for me to ugrade to Pro

That would be awesome. Matty V references Browny's "clear the deck" call sometimes during replays of home runs.

SDS, for your presentation stream please let the CPU vs CPU play for about a half of an inning or so. No talking, just let us watch and listen. And oh please can you tell us if he Batter Pitcher analysis is back on the D-Pad or is it still in the pause menu.

I'm guessing they won't have Fast Play on, yeh?

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

Lyons and Karros out makes me pretty happy.

I'm just hoping they start to mention what actually happens in MY franchise now more often. I want a ton of specific commentary to what is going on.

I can dream

16's franchise commentary is pretty dynamic when talking about your team. If 17 improves on that then I think we will have a real gem of a game.

Yea I am excited to see the Dev Stream to see if they built onto that because it was on point last year.

I'd honestly be surprised if Lyons and Karros are still in the game. It depends on how the game is compressed and such, but The Show was already nearly capping out its Blu-Ray disc in '16 (I think they still use 50 GB discs). Given that massive stack of new commentary Ramone showed us, I don't think they would have just been able to add that into the disc without taking out the other two.

And yes, I know NBA has different broadcast teams despite this.

I think if Steve and Eric were still in the game they would have promoted that fact, being able to choose your color commentators would have been to huge not to brag about it.
