It needs to be better. Talking more about stats would be an easy fix and far less repetitive than hearing Mark DeRosa talk about how the game has changed or how he couldn't hit the slider.

Re: Play-by-play/Commentary
If their going to continue to jibber jabber then they need to record at least 10 times the amount of audio next year. I would like to hear more stuff relating to the teams stat wise though.YouTube: MLB The Show 21 Atlanta Braves FranchiseComment

Re: Play-by-play/Commentary
More biographical info about each player. Split it up where you hear a little here and a little there so it doesn’t become repetitive (talk about their birthplace here, where they went to college another time, their strengths and weaknesses there, awards/milestones another time. If you do these things with every player and mix it up, you’re going to hear a lot of different information. Add the play by play in and it will never get tiring or repetitive IMO. Just don’t limit it to the same info every single time a player walks up to bat or takes the mound.Comment

Re: Play-by-play/Commentary
Commentary is one of the weakest aspects of The Show every year in my opinion.....

Re: Play-by-play/Commentary
I think it’s quite good, actually. It’s about a 7/10 or thereabouts. My complaint is that I don’t think Matt was a very good choice, with his fairly high-pitched and nasally voice, and his generally upbeat and cheery inflections, I just don’t think it sounds very good.
Compare MLBTS with the 2K games with Jon Miller and Joe Morgan. It’s not that Jon and Joe had better lines or more to say, they just sounded a hundred times better.
And forgive me if I’m being repetitive as I’ve made this point several times in the past, but a neat little trick to “deal with” commentary is to turn it the heck down. Like I’m talking four or five clicks from the left. It’s BLASTING on default. Try to get it so they just kind of bleed into the rest of the ambiance instead of being so right in your face. Works for me, I don’t even turn it off anymore.Just one man’s opinion.
I don’t actually care about any of this.Comment

Re: Play-by-play/Commentary
When I hear Matt begin to say, "With this one in the books...", I know it's time to hit options and click on replay then go back to the game to shut him up as they will go on and on about it. At this point, the commentary is not going to change much at all other than a few new lines each year.est 1978

Man it’s really too bad 2k isn’t making a MLB game, it would be incredible to see what they could do these days

Re: Play-by-play/Commentary
People actually listen to the commentary? I haven't listened to it since...oh heck I can't remember the last time I listened to it. I open the laptop and turn on Netflix and play some Shameless or Dexter or something and listen to that while playing.
Although I have some new surround sound headphones and I really want to hear how the game sounds are with them. So I am going to hear it at least once....eventually.Comment

Imagine The Show graphics and gameplay with the presentation of 2K. That would be a thing of beauty.... and don’t get be started with the real time between pitches play out... I loved it when I could watch the batter step out and the pitcher get the ball back and set up again, I miss itComment

Re: Play-by-play/Commentary
I turn off commentary and in game music. I play my music from the media player from my thumb drive on the ps4.
The commentary is stale and boring. I mean if I hear DeRo say "there was billboards around Wrigley Field when Kris Bryant was in Triple A" etc. etc. same old lines since '16... lol
Every once in while I'll turn the commentary back on.

Re: Play-by-play/Commentary
I commentate my own games. Sometimes in my head, usually out loud.
Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I am debating scoring games on a laptop using ballscore so I can have easier access to player names and in-depth stats during games.
What's sad is that Matty V doesn't seem to have much time for batting average and ERA in real life (preferring, at the very least, OPS/OPS+, FIP, etc.) and yet he goes on and on about a batter hitting .300.Comment
