Re: Gamestop Monday #2: Presentation

Oh well, another year with turning off the commentary option in the game, what else is new!

Just wondering, what would make you happy with the commentary? Or at least turn it on? Not being confrontational, just curious as to what people are looking for.

I think what people are looking for simply can't be done., that would be to have weekly updated commentary lines.

Madden does it.

or just simply updating Matts lines/delivery instead of copy pasting them from 10 years ago. Looking at the intro for example!

I think the biggest issue is there is no dynamics to the commentary

If the score is 15-0 in the 9th, with 2 outs and a home run is his to make it 15-0 they will always say 'hang on a minute it aint over yet they still have life in them'. when it really should say 'it's all but to late'

and if a miracle comeback did happen. their would be no mention of them saying 'holy cow back from 15-0 down can you believe it! it would just be a generic line thrown in.

and everytime they talk about a starting pitching they talk about "he has a ERA of XXXX, he is not doing so well' he has a ERA of 2! he is doing great!

same with averages. they never talk about other important stats like OBP or WHIp or even WAR

They also have so few player specific lines. That always annoys me. I don't know why it would be hard to say "Here's a comebacker to Kershaw, and he makes the toss for first to retire the side." Just something as simple as that instead of "it's a comebacker to the pitcher, and he throws him out." It's so bland and generic.

What good would that even be in a franchise mode that is disconnected from reality though? For example, I don't want to hear about Harper's 20 game hit streak or Kershaw throwing a no-no in his last start if those happened in real life, but didn't happen in my franchise.

I think NBA references too much real-life stuff during its franchise mode, to be honest....

I think the best video game commentary was the old All-Star baseball games with Thom Brennanman and Steve Lyons. Sounded more like a real broadcast than any other game I can think of.

Also, as I mentioned before, I think The Show's biggest issue is having a 3-man booth. Just doesn't flow.

There are always limitations in sports video games commentary, can't be helped.

I'm happy that their making improvement and won't judge til I've played a few games in March.

Re: Gamestop Monday #2: Presentation

Funny how last year at this time everyone complained about Harold Reynolds being in the game and this year everyone is complaining he is out. Interesting.

To be fair, Harold was pretty terrible in real life during the postseason. Said things that just made no sense at times. He was a lot better in The Show than any broadcast I’ve heard in real life.

I know it's more then likely not happening but I am hoping that's what they did.

By the way who is the cute girl? lol

Anastasia Bryzgalova. She’s a curler in the Russian mixed doubles team (her husband just got popped for PED’s and they’ll likely lose their bronze medal lol).

I would not make any reference to the current season, your right there, but I think their would be potential add in new lines, particularly for rookies that have no name audio and just say 'number 27' that would be more important.

You would have the commentary refer to the happenings in the video game season.

I'm disappointed IGN nor GS released their videos regarding presentation this week.

Am I the only one who's glad Harold is gone? Can't stand him.
