Makes keeping MLB 12 much more sense.

What is wrong with the commentary exactly? Their tone of voice, repetitive, lack of enthusiasm, or their lack of side discussion?

I think people have various issues. The timing of triggered audio, repetitiveness, the use of old commentary (which stands out to those who play the game every year, etc.

Overall I think its pretty good for what sports games tend to have in the past.

I wonder if they'd ever be able to license the actual audio from games. They might be able to build up a lot of variations on the generic commentary.

"High fly ball to right..."
"Curveball in the dirt."
"...and he beats the throw to first."

Maybe even player specific audio. Might be hard to get clean audio though as I have no idea if the individual commentators tracks are ever recorded during broadcasts.

p.s. NBA 2K is a damn fine game, I play it on PC. The commentary is not the only thing great about it. The Show and 2K are different sports and each have their own flaws in gameplay and design.

I'll take the Shows commentary over NBA2K and here is why. The Show calls the action as the commentators see it, subtle yes but they keep it simple. No need to start debates, talking about the same crap every game. The Show sticks with what works in every facet of the game. They have never gone overboard and they won't do it with commentary. So keep in mind that baseball in real life has those empty moments, its a war with in a war but subtle nonetheless. I wouldn't want them to drift from the relaxing feeling one gets from playing this game. This is the only game I can actually take my time relax and actually enjoy without all the nonsense

couldn't agree more. think this explains why we saw no gameplay videos before this one. very disappointing

It was one inning of a game, one home-run. There are more than 1 home run animation and more than 3 or 4 cutscenes (however many were in that video). Wait until you play the game before talking about how "disappointing" it is.

Thank you! I dont know how everyone is judging the game already after just one inning, without even playing the game.

I only saw one person mention this, but do you think maybe no demo or gameplay videos this year because they knew the progression slowed down, essentially making it Show 12 with updated rosters? The video, aside from the commentary, didn't amaze me at all.

Its understandable though that to some the game would look like a roster update. The gameplay has not been redone, it does look very similar. Its the little things that were changed and they are noticed by a lot of people. But at a broad look I can see where people are coming from. If you look more closely as you are suggesting its easy to see improvements, especially on such a short development cycle.

Why in the WORLD would they re-do the gameplay?
Seriously.

...and to ignore everything else and imply it's "a roster update"....well I'd like to not violate T.O.S. ...so I'll leave it up to your imaginations

The graphics have improved for sure...but alot of the work has been put into the show live, revamped franschise, rtts, and other modes. We can't expect the look of the game to improve dramatically every year. That's not a realistic expectation.

I wonder how hard it would be to implement about 5 or 6 emotional reactions on random scoring plays in certain situations? I mean, scoring plays that take the lead after the 7th ining!

Com'on, I can think of 6 lines I would remove and replace right now.

Lead off homers for any ining!!! How often would that happen? I would like to see Matt V just go nuts after a big play.

Games still looks amazing though.

Exactly, why would they. I think that people making these posts are just expecting too much. But you have to look at it from their perspective instead of just saying they're crazy. There are a lot of non-OS consumers out there and to some that's what it might look like. If you look at non-sports specific game media its a big complaint of sports games because they don't look as deep as we do.

I've always thought the commentary was rather good, but I got into the Show a little late. I guess I can understand why it has become a little stale for those that have been playing for many years.

Regarding the rest, you are not going to pick up on everything that's been done by watching an inning of cpu vs. cpu anyway.

Did anyone notice how Zimmerman reacted on the ground ball from Freeman? He took his time and wasn't so quick to react. I liked that much better! In '12 he would have thrown him out when he was halfway down the line.
