Re: MLB The Show '22 - New Commentary Team

When I say 2k, I meant MLB and not NBA, even though NBA 2K's commentary is still really good. But it sounds good to me bc I don't play it religiously and daily like I do with The Show. I don't expect greatness right off the bat with this new commentary team, but I do have faith that these two will be a breath of fresh air. I'm glad they've been working on this for the last 3 years, that gives me hope. And also that they're adding in commentary from real games should make it feel more authentic.

Updated the OP link details, but here's some more info.

• 128 separate recording sessions occurred, which included 350 recording hours and approximately 45,000 lines of audio. No wonder Boog and Singy cloned themselves in the video with Coach!
• Commentary systems have been redesigned for several major categories, including game intros, home run calls, post-play analysis, and more
• A new conversation system has been implemented, allowing for more natural banter between commentators that seamlessly integrates into the live action of each game. Boog and Singy recorded a lot of their lines together to bring this feature to life.
• Audio stitching enhancements increase the variety of both play-by-play calls and color commentary and improves upon player name integration. An enhanced dynamic range of play-by-play calls has also been implemented to match the excitement of each moment.
• Content captured from both real-life MLB broadcasts and MLB The Show-called commentary leads to a curated experience unique to each player.

OMG we're really in for a treat this year!! I honestly can't go back to play 21 now.

Since this was in the works since 2019, could Franchise fixes/changes have been secretly worked on the last couple years and now this year ready to be added? I know, I know... Wishful thinking I guess.

Okay damnit.. as mad as I am about franchise.. commentary is a big deal to me and really helps immersion. If it’s really good.. I might cave again.

I think it is going to make a huge difference that they were together. Sounds like they were in the same room?

Exactly! They said they recorded their lines side by side so it definitely should sound more immersive and natural

This was badly needed.  But shoot!, I would have picked a different pair. Jon Miller/Mike Krukow..... I know Singleton was a former MLB player and  does Analyst work for CHISOX?.(.Can't remember now)  but I never heard of the other guy...  he sounds a little like  Al Michael's ..Yuck!..lol.. SMH..Oh well, it'll be different that's for damn sure!

Re: MLB The Show 22 Features New Commentary Team of Jon Sciambi and Chris Singleton

so the new game intros.. I hope for the love of god it isn't about talking about the pitchers ERA and basing their opnion on how good or bad he is every time ! or by going by a players AVG as well.

But holy hell am I excited now for this change it has been over a decade!!

Re: MLB The Show 22 Features New Commentary Team of Jon Sciambi and Chris Singleton

I know Boog isn't part of MLB Network. Not sure about Singelton. So I'm surprised they went outside of MLB Network guys.

Neither are… I believe ESPN employees.

Yep. And I agree that MLB 2K was even better than NBA 2K, although I'm a huge Kevin Harlan fan, from the days I heard "Oh baby, what a play!" during Chiefs games. He made mandatory to listen to the radio during games.

I still really miss 2K baseball.
