    Re: MLB The Show 22 - (PS5/Xbox Series X|S) Impressions

    I know I've mentioned it before, and maybe several times, but where commentary is today versus that at launch is night and day.

    The commentary and presentation in this game is light years ahead of its predecessors. The only real complaint I have is the lack of names mentioned and a few missing presentation popups (down on the farm, upcoming schedule, weather, stat leaders)

    They add those to '23, which I believe they will, and the presentation will be simply amazing.

    Oh, one last thing, I hope they add a third theme and bring back MLB Network presentation. I miss it.
    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

    I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

      Really adds to the immersion, the further you go in your franchise the better the commentary is and the better the ticker info is. I can do without the repetitive anecdotes every game but I wouldn't know how to solve that. I assume 23 will improve all of it.

      I do miss the old pop ups like you mentioned and hope they return in some form.

        Agreed. The ticker with all the news items (plus stats/scores/standings) is one of the best franchise mode features added in any sports game (dare I say...ever). It's helped me to connect to my virtual universe so much more effectively. They need to do a little logic update on the Ticker as some information (like standings) will reflect the outcomes of the games currently going-on...so it winds-up being a bit of a spoiler when you're in a tight race
        Play the games you love, not the games you want to love.

          I was telling my good friend the other day, Devers came up to bat in September and Boog says "Devers is having quite a season leading the league in two of the three triple crown categories".

          Pretty awesome.

            Yup...

            And I am at the point where I have a fair number of game-generated players in my franchise now. For the most part, the commentary for them doesn't feel any different than "real" players - and it really makes it a fun experience. We don't have that little delay between first and last name like in the outdated versions of the game.
            Play the games you love, not the games you want to love.

              Yeah, I couldn’t go back to 21 because I would miss the sports ticker and the presentation. I do hope they expand on it. Now you get the batter snaps out of a 0 for 18 slump with 2 hits..hopefully in the future you can get hit hitters and expand to pitchers.

                Had a funny injury. Dylan Carlson going back on hard hit liner that he misses with his glove and it hits him in the head, but he proceeds to catch the ball off the noggin bounce.

                After play he leaves game with concussion.

                  I actually seen a runner pull up holding his hamstring running to first on a play. He touched the base and came up limping and fell down. It was the first time that I seen an actual injury reaction besides maybe a pitcher getting hit with a line drive.

                    Is it true the PCI is a lot smoother on the ps5 version compared to the Xbox version? On the series x it seems like the pci is choppy like it’s 30fps.

                      Had a weird thing happen in a game between the Phillies and Dodgers. A night game and dark in the 8th inning when they showed a Schwarber homer highlight from the 1st inning. When the game reverted back,it was light out again. Once the at bat played out,it went back to night time. Never had that happen before.

                        That’s happened to me quite a few times, I don’t know why but it does happen.
