I hate this new announcerless version of RTTS, ugh it's boring. Might be going back to 12

What doesn't get announced? Do they announce you coming up to the plate?

They want to feel like your actually playing the game. You cant hear announcers while playing so only thing you hear is game sounds. It is cool but yea kind of boring. More to hear about yourself from announcers lol

There's not that much about you that the announcers call. You get excerpts for notable milestones and a comment pre-game if you won anything the year before or if the advancement goals have been completed/failed.

I get what they were trying to do, I just don't think it works. The random zooming into the press box after every play, regardless of whether or not they have something to say is odd to say the least. I also don't need to constantly hear a third baseman saying "c'mon guys, lets go!"

I know that if I was a baseball player I wouldn't hear the announcers on the field, but I'm not a pro baseball player, I'm a guy on a couch playing a game. Honestly I felt more immersed in the mode with the commentary than I do without it. The lack of commentary is distracting.

They could have had the commentary, AND made sure that it also references your player more often, and I feel like that would have been a better setup than what they gave us. Honestly It
just feels like I'm playing an unfinished game.

Re: MLB 13 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Now that i got my points and my guy went from a 65 to 88 AAA pitchers are pitching me ALOT different. No more 1st pitch FB down the middle. Im assuming they were not scared of me when i was a 65 but now that im 88 they throwing alot more carefull. I have drawn 3 walks in 3 games since

I just hit a ball Oppo onto the roof of a building in the outfield of a minor league stadium.

Re: MLB 13 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

So made MLB June 15th of 2013. 12K points basically made it possible. Dont know if i want to keep playing this one or start a new one without using the 12K points.

Either I'm missing something, or there's no way to change the RTTS batting camera.

edit - Nevermind. Last game, the camera stayed the same no matter what I set it to. Started a new game and it is changing now.

I just came on to post the exact same thing, and find out if there is just an option I am missing to turn commentary back on. If there's not... I don't think I have any interest in playing this mode anymore. And I was SUPER excited to play it this year. But the complete lack of commentary, especially when I am coming to bat, is terrible. And the lack of a broadcast-style presentation while I'm walking to the plate? So I can rotate a camera halfway around my player while I watch him go through the same animation 600 times a season? No thanks. Please for the love of God tell me there's a way I can get the audio and presentation options back. This mode would be everything I want it to be with last year's commentary and presentation and some of this year's improvements. But seriously, I cannot possibly play through multiple months, let alone multiple seasons, with no in-game commentary about my player. This is a mode-killer for me.

I've picked up MLB 12 this past weekend...simply because I decided to sit out this year and then get MLB 14 on PS4 next year. And being in South Africa it makes it difficult getting my hands on the game for a decent price in the first place.

But from the sound of it I'm glad I'm sitting out this year. I know for sure the lack of commentary and the presentation as you describe it would bother and bore me very quickly. Don't know whey they made it mandatory to not have commentary...those that wanted it could've just turned the commentary off...and everyone is happy?

And I've only played Rtts since MLB 09...I don't touch franchise. Hopefully they bring back the commentary and old presentation for next year. Or better yet...patch it in.

Re: MLB 13 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

I'm brand new to this game, but I love baseball sim-style. I'm not ignorant to the rules at all honestly, but I have been picked off/caught in a pickle/ not run properly around the bases for every single game of my 10 game career lol.

Also, I found that my equipment varies from game to game... Sometimes I have two sleeves of blue, and other times it's how I wanted it with the compression sleeve and wristband with my number. Oh well though. Going to cut them some slack. Hopefully it gets fixed.

On a positive note I'm batting about .357 so far. I've had 4 hitless game, and the rest I'm batting at least .400-.800. Pretty inconsistent I guess!

Oh well. Loving the detail so far!

Since when can you warm up??

haha.
Yes. I am very new.

I had avoided all The Show news being a sad XBOX 360 owner and now I finally get to experience it
