Heidi Watney... More like Why-di Watney

I know it’s low hanging fruit to get mad at virtua-Heidi, but holy hell man they really couldn’t have her record more lines? Never mind that sideline reports are the worst part about mlb broadcasts, but if there’s nothing to talk about why force it down our throats?

Just played a game and had a no hitter through 7.... Bottom of the 6th “I had a chance to catch up on the state of the Braves offense... and overall he’sh really happy at their approach at the plate” then talks about how they’ve had six full counts. Imagine a manager telling a reporter in the sixth inning that he’s really happy that his team was getting no hit because they worked six full counts lol. I mean come on!

What frustrates me — besides the feature being repetitive and unskippable — is that the development team took the time, money and effort to put this in the game when there are literally millions of better uses of time and money.

Whenever I enter a half inning and I see the overhead camera that means I’m about to hear Heidi, I take out my phone and flat out do not pay attention.

I’m the exact same way!

I'm going to start keeping track of how many different things she's programed to say. Off the top of my head, so far I think it's five that I can remember, which doesn't count two of her special appearances that I've seen so far. I like the idea of the sideline report, but just as with the commentary in general, it's very repetitive and annoying.

I don’t mind her. As I go along in franchise I like the stats that she presents either about the game or a team stat in regards to the season.

It’s the first year, so I expect and look forward to SDS expanding upon her role/reporting next year and beyond.

This is the second greatest "Heidi" controversy of all time, for those that remember the scandalous MNF incident...

In any case, the Heidi thing has prompted me to use fast play. I won't go back until it's gone. No offense to the real Heidi Watney.

This. I actually enjoy the cut scenes and find them refreshing. Sure sometimes I chuckle at some of the stuff. But its entertaining. Hope it gets developed more in the future.

I think it's a very good implementation of adding something new to the Show series. It's not perfect room for improvement. She changes clothes & things like that.

When Heidi starts to speak, that's my cue to take a sip of ice tea.

I wouldn't be surprised if she were gone for 20 and the sideline reporter role becomes a revolving door like Matt's 2 color guys has. maybe they should kick Heidi upstairs and stick Mushmouth Dan away from the booth. I haven't disliked any of Matt's other color guys like I do Plesac. I'd rather be subjected to a booth full of Tim McCarver, Joe Buck and Hawk Harrelson than hear one more game from Mushmouth

I would prefer it if they did not show a digital version of her and just put up a real picture of her and just heard her voice. It would go a long way to having the broadcast feel more authentic.

yeah. also, their cap of Heidi is easily their worst ever. looks more like Ramona Shelburne than Heidi. Heidi should be eye candy, not eye sauerkraut

Yeah it looks like they created her in 5 minutes. I am sure that some of the guys who do player caps around here could do a 10x better job.

She doesn't show up in online DD games does she? If not, that's your answer as to why minimal time and effort was put into her commentary and appearance.

I am not buying that, they spent a ton of time on March to October which is offline.
