    At least in this other method, one can impersonate oneself. I have no problem doing that, no matter the level of excitement. I just have to hear it and find it again. No holding back.

      Matty V's voice got stale about five years ago

          I'm curious about something, and this isn't a criticism:

          For those who are tired of Matty V., do you feel the same way about the play by play for your favorite team? Would you prefer they bring in a new PBP person every couple of years?

          I ask because I grew up listening to the great Ernie Harwell for 30 years and I never once thought, "We need a new voice." Not that Matty V is to be compared to Ernie.

              I just hope DeRosa doesn't return in 19. His commentary is the most repetitive of all of them.

                That might be more on SDS than dero. I'd rather do they something about mushmouth plesac. I think he may have been eating oatmeal when he recorded his lines.

                  Guess you guys haven't been following Plesac on twitter. He's been in the SDS studio recording new lines for a few months now. He's going nowhere.

                  Plus Kirby said in a stream last year they got a long term commitment from DeRosa and Plesac. That was the reason Harold Reynolds was let go. He couldn't commit long term.

                  They made strides in the commentary in 18. I think they make a bigger leap in 19.

                    Speaking of which, Vasgersian recorded lines with a cold this past year and it was extremely noticeable. They need to re-record those as well (or as I keep suggesting, scrap them and find a new ways for the lines to happen).

                        I'm curious to see how this changes if Mark DeRosa is offered and accepts a managerial gig. His name has been thrown around from time to time and I think he would be up to the challenge if he sees it as that.

                          the should be adding more commentators not removing/replacing them

                            I don't disagree that he's gotten stale, but I'm not willing to give up the kind of massive voice bank that they've accumulated. Be prepared for commentary to take a massive step BACK if they ever do replace him. If you think it's repetitive now....oh boy.

                            Edit: Harlan debuted in NBA2K6, which released in late 2005. Matty V's first appearance was when SCEA's baseball series was re-branded as "The Show" - 2006. Let's just say they've both been around a really long time, and are mainstays of their respective products.

                            True. That is the down side to a new voice.

                              Good idea. You can kinda do this now actually. Just turn off one guy for one theme. And turn off the other for the next theme. Matty V/DeRosa and Matty V/Plesac.

                                Look guys. I’m not hating on Matty V. But I’m an older gamer than many of you probably. If I were still hearing Marv Albert on my NBA games like I was 15 years ago that would be insane.
                                Gary Thorne was GREAT in the NHL series for a long long time. Then it came a time to freshen things up and now Doc Emerick is good too. That’s all.

                                I don’t dislike Matty V.
