I suppose you're right about the commentary. I was hoping for a lot more bantering back and forth about a specific player, a story of some sort, a specific baseball rule, etc. Or maybe I'm just tired of Matt V. I don't even think he announces games anymore. Isn't he solely on MLB TV?

Additionally, I just don't think a three man booth in baseball works, except for in the World Series. I think I'd be more fine with Matt and Karros. I know you can turn Dave off and all, but at the very least then give Karros a lot more lines of commentary.

Oooh well. Besides that, the game looks and sounds fantastic.

He still broadcasts games dude, he did a Tigers one last season when Inge hit the walk off I think. But I'm pretty sure Russel said that they added commentary where they will talk about how that person did this season so far, last week, last night,etc. Or I was dreaming.

Check out this gameplay

That homerun from Delmon Young was nice and subdued. Refreshing to see.

If commentary is the only complaint, it just shows how great this game really is. It actually looks like you're watching a real game of baseball. The camera angles, overlays, etc. are perfect, and that's where the "true broadcast" really shines.

I love this game and buy it every year, but there's one thing that has always troubled me and continues to do so: the ability for a pitcher to paint the corners. I know these are the #1 starters, but it always seems crazy how they rarely miss. I mean, if you look at the balls thrown in that video they are RIGHT off the plate (and are basically 50/50 whether they're strikes are not). I know the ball/strike ratio is roughly .4/.6, but it just seems so difficult to coax a ball out of these guys.

I just want to see the rest of the Cubs lineup. Everything looks amazing. Can't wait until March 6. Just preordered!

What happens if one of the players from the Cardinals whose picture is on the wall is traded? Will his picture still be left out on the wall?

In this video:
Beltran is #15
Furcal is #3

In real life:
Furcal will be #15
Beltran will most likely be #3 based on spring training photos...

But not a big deal, we'll probably be able to change #'s... right??

And this video blew me away considering the teams featured in it... it just so happens I will be attending not one but TWO Cards vs Cubs games in STL this year, April 14 (WS Ring Ceremony game) and July 22... YAY!

I'm guessing it will be fixed in an official roster update too.

In the game, yes.
In real life it most likely will the same week they will take it out

I meant if he is traded in the game. Say the Cards decide to unload Molina, Will his picture stay on the wall?

In real life, arent the players on the wall at Busch legends/hall of famers?

I think he means the green wall there on the field not on the bleachers or where ever

In real life it is Hall of Famers on the Left Field wall. I'm just curious if there is a way for the game to update itself if one of the players whose picture is on the wall in the Show get traded?

Only getting into the bottom of the first inning for this video, but I just want to say how proud I am of my friend Danny Descalso for getting as far as he has. It's been nearly ten years since I've played on a same team as him as he's two years older than me, but man... you get far enough, and you earn your strides into a video game. That must be so amazing for him!

The game looks amazing. Can't wait for March 6th and MLB 12 The Show on PS3.
