Who else is actually quite excited about the attendance logic? God I'm a nerd....

I am. I'm also interested to see if they incorporate it into the broadcast somehow ... like in Dodger Stadium, saying in the middle innings that the crowd has finally arrived or in a blow out that everyone will have a chance at a foul ball ... something like that.

Quick questions:

What happens when You have Aaron Judge in franchise mode on the Yankees, and then get gets traded to the Rays for example. Moving forward in franchise, will it still show Judges Chambers at Yankee stadium even though he is not on the team?

I know this was in the past aswell with King Felix, but I don't remember what happened as he retired or got traded

That is actually a good question. It would be hilarious if the logic was still there in games he visited from the new team. (As in, tied to the player, and not player and team.)

Looks like Harold Reynolds went on a hugging spree at SDS and lost this job, too.

Attendance logic and crowd AI have the nerd in me excited!

The only major part of this game that has been a complaint of mine, since about '11, is the commentary. Not necessarily the announcers themselves (although...) I'm talking about the system itself. It's very scripted and doesn't feel natural or organic. Action = response, action = response, over and over.

If 2K could achieve what they did years ago, I feel like it's possible SCEA can rebuild the system.

I realize it's expensive and extremely intensive. It's also something that requires the buy-in of announcers who understand the medium. I'm biased towards Giants announcers, but Kruk and Kuip or Jon Miller are fantastic conversationalists. Their broadcasts always feel natural.

Done ranting. Excited about the game. Looking forward to the updates!

Damn, son. MLB Tonight went down the can from everyone getting all touchy feely. I wasn't mad at his commentary. Thought Dan was a bit stale, but love the move of having all of them in the booth. Little by little, we forget to grab some pine. MEAT!

actually thinking about it, I wonder if they brought Harold in for the 1 season because he was Ken Griffey's teammate in Seattle.

It would be awesome if they added near-empty stadiums after long rain delays.

It’s perfectly possible that the inclusion of rain delays is the reason for the new dynamic crowd logic.

So the next question...will we see umbrellas in the crowd this year?

I think we need to see baseball gloves in the crowd.
And fans using them to catch foul balls and homers.

Maybe that's like a PS5 thing though

My issue with the changeover is the portfolio of specific lines can't be expanded because now you gotta get him to come in and just get the basics recorded. Probably will be fewer player specific lines or the player specific lines will only reference the player on the team they're on or using 2017 stats, so they won't play in franchises in later years, or once you make a trade.

Maybe they'll just talk about the player in general without talking about their team or stats, but it's never precise.

Oh well.

Love it. I want to see an empty Trop in August when they are well out of the pennant race.

Want to see a raving crazy crowd in September at Yankee Stadium when we take on the dreaded Red Sox.

I can’t wait to see that in action!

Baseball games had that on the PS3, can't see why we would have to wait for the next console release. If they are holding a cup or on their phone we should be able to see a glove.
