    Re: MLB The Show 22 Commentary and Presentation Deep Dive

    The commentary sounded fresh and in depth (still worried my last name won’t be in the database but I can get over that)

    But the presentation…. Oh my. That alone is going to make this feel like a whole new game on its own.

    The regional team broadcast is awesome and really well done. Makes it feel like you’re settling in for a casual weekday night watching your favorite team.

    The prime time presentation overlay looks big time and really emphasizes the magnitude of a postseason and all star game vibe which was sorely needed.

    Time will tell regarding fans and their responsiveness to current situations. It also sounded like they added more music playing in the stadium itself.

    All in all, really solid stuff and made me even more excited

      it was a small sample size but I heard what seemed like livelier stadium sounds also (I dont mean crowd noise). And I've been hoping for that for a while now.

        MLB The Show 22 Commentary and Presentation Deep Dive

        Wow! I love the different regional presentations!
        That 3d artist did a marvelous job.
        Matty V was the man but this commentary refresh was long overdue! 2 man booth sounds good, fresh energy, good back to backs and with just enough difference in their voices.

        Little nitpick is that I already heard a same line about opposite direction hit in that stream. But in the end whatever you do, how many lines you record you will hear repeating stuff that’s just inevitable .

        To top it all off they put in an all new soundboard for batsound, glove pops, crowds etc.

        You just have to give SDS an applause for all of this. I mean people can complain that Diamond Dynasty gets all the love because it rakes in the most money but hey because of it they can hire more people like the 3D artist they added to the team for the regional themes so it works both ways.

          After watching this latest stream, and all the team/stadium specific adds that are coming, I'm wondering if using a rebranded team in a created stadium will end up taking that all away? I would think that it would.

            As someone who solely plays franchise mode and rarely fast forwards through cut scenes, commentary and presentation are huge for me. I’m really excited about all the changes, but from what I heard in the video, I think the first year of the new commentary is going to be a little bland.

            What really caught my attention in the video, and I know this is very picky on my part, was when a ball was hit off the Green Monster, Boog referred it to it as a ball off the fence. Nobody calling a game at Fenway would ever refer to the Monster as a fence. Again, I know I’m being picky, but it’s little things like that that will take me out of my immersion.

            Love the new direction, but it needs some tightening up.

              They will probably have a more generic team-specific theme that will accommodate custom logos...obviously, it probably won't look as good...but I am sure they will do something to accommodate it.

                Yeah that's kinda what I was envisioning. It might motivate people to not use rebranded teams sort of. I guess we'll see.

                  Finally got a chance to watch the whole thing and man, I’m very impressed with all the additions to presentation and commentary!

                  We’ve had the majority of the same cutscenes for years so I’ve been hoping for upgrades in presentation for awhile. Love the additions of the new broadcast themes and fam cams. And with the new commentary crew, that is just the cherry on top of all of these presentation enhancements! This game is gonna feel so much more fresh and “new”!

                  What a great day yesterday, baseball is finally back and our digital baseball game is getting lots of love! Can’t wait to see what the MTO/franchise stream hast to offer next week. I dont play MTO but give me a few subtle additions to franchise + these presentation/commentary improvements and I’ll be a happy customer!

                    Dang you, SDS! The show was going to be an easy pass this year, now you go and deliver this awesome deep dive. Now, I might have to shell out some money. (Still hoping the lighting in MM is fixed)

                          I went from saying I wasn’t gonna get the game because I wasn’t expecting big changes to Franchise, but the new commentary and presentation completely flipped the switch on my thoughts. The time and effort for this is incredible and looks amazing. The regional broadcast thing really seems cool. Literally can’t wait to get it now.

                          Maybe it’s just me but one thing I saw that I didn’t care and seems new, is the fly ball “shadow” that I’ve seen (pic attached is the yellow/red line following the path of the ball). Hopefully we have the ability to turn it off or maybe I’m just being too nitpicking but just doesn’t feel natural.

                            That yellow line is for a fielding option called "Track Ball". You can still use the "Drifting Ball" option that doesn't have the yellow line.

                              Everything looks amazing! Well done with updating the game. Here's my only gripe...

                              They talk heavily about presentation to post season and world series but every year they miss putting in world series patches on the hats/jerseys. I feel like it's a must have when you play big games to make it feel different than a regular season game.

                              I really hope the celebration is updated and longer. I wanna feel I've earned the trophy.
                              What's with this chick? Does she have beer flavored nipples?

                                This is fair criticism, but I am not entirely sure if their uniform/cap setup is modular and could allow for patch usage.
