Commentary Errors

[reyes the roof]

I thought it might be helpful to put together a list of all of the commentary errors where a line is being triggered in the wrong situation so that hopefully a developer will see it and get them corrected. The intention of the thread isn't to bash the commentary or talk about the lines you hate hearing, it's just to give examples of lines that are being said in the wrong situation. Mine have all occurred in franchise mode


-I currently have a .5 game lead on my division and Derosa will talk about how I have a double digit lead and some people think it will cause the team to rest on their laurels
-I just played game three of a road series and I won the first two. I had my #4 starter pitching vs their #1 and they were saying I have a great chance of sweeping because my #1 was pitching. They've got it backwards, the other teams #1 was pitching
-Yoenis Cespedes leads the NL in homeruns and in the pre game while I'm 1 or 2 games out of first and 9 games up in the wildcard they're saying we have no shot at the post season but at least he can win the HR title
-I don't remember the exact amount but I was within a few games of first place and they were talking about the dog days of August and how we have nothing to play for and just need to grind it out until the season ends

Re: Commentary Errors

Commentary is ok, my request would be more back and forth and storytelling

Re: Commentary Errors

I just had a game last night against the Cardinals and they said the player to watch for was Dexter Fowler, he had hit 2 HR in the past couple games. Only problem was Fowler wasn’t in the starting line up for the game.

Re: Commentary Errors

That part where they say it's ambush tactics? It wasn't an ambush. Or a tactic.

Re: Commentary Errors

Not so much the same as what you are putting out there but I've noticed a couple of wrong words being used.

The one i remember right now, they are taking about how a pitcher doesnt walk batters and they say "he isnt afraid of getting his defense allowed" obviously that should be involved.

Re: Commentary Errors

It is too repetitive, Realise they are replacing years of old commentary so I understand it. I miss each booth guy having their own slider so I could just have Matt Call the game and turn the other 2 off

Re: Commentary Errors

Dero says that its time to get going, April and May were fine....but we're in June.

Issue is he's said this in both July and August

Re: Commentary Errors

My biggest thing about commentary is when u hit a home run and their still talking about some pitching to last better very unrealistic

Re: Commentary Errors

1. Lines that drag on forever... and ever... and ever... 2 batters later and they are still talking about how clutch the 1st batter is.

2. Lines that are completely wrong about what is actually going on... for example a base hit up the middle and they say it's a foul ball...

Re: Commentary Errors

Something else I'm noticing, if you have a power pitcher starting, they always comment that it's a contrast of pitcher styles, one flame thrower vs a finesse guy no matter what the matchup is. Last night I has deGrom vs Scherzer and they said it was power vs finesse. Unless Scherzer's 95mph fastball is considered a finesse pitch they need to tweak that line.


I've also heard Pleasac say that now that it's warming up and the ball is starting to fly out of the park, pitchers need to make better pitches. Only problem...I heard this in mid September

I think this stems from pressing A to move along the animation/walkup/etc... I have it happen as well, but I chalk it up to the fact that I pressed the A button, and I would be more irked at them just cutting the script short as opposed to finishing their thoughts.

I imagine if you never pressed the skip button, and just let the game unfold, there would be less chances of being behind in the lines.

Re: Commentary Errors

I'm in the middle of June with the Brewers and the commentators are talking about how Travis Shaw is struggling with a batting average of 250, the problem is he's one of the leading hitters with an average of 400.

I've also noticed them mention a player not being among the league leaders in hr when in fact they ARE the leader. A little annoying to say the least.

Agreed 100%.

For the most part the game does a good job of Matt V cutting of DeRosa or Plesac when something happens. Especially to end the inning. But yes, sometimes it drags. But then again, this is probably one of the most difficult aspects of developing the game. Think of al that has to go into it. And for the most part I think it’s pretty remarkable. Could it be better? Of course. But for the most part it’s well done and I think an under appreciated aspect of the game.

I hear this all the time... "Brandon Drury is coming off a month of batting .200" when in fact he led the majors in the previous month... sometimes there facts are flipped around

Re: Commentary Errors

Just heard the same series of lines THREE times in ONE single AB: “While his hitting streak might be drawing most of the attention...” I’ve heard it 5-6 times in this game already (every time he’s batted, plus 3 times during one AB), currently in the 7th inning.

EDIT: heard it 4 times during his last AB in the 9th inning! Took a video of it, but I uploaded it before the last pitch so it only got the first 3 times lol...
