In the past, I have been an advocate of CPUvCPU and Coach Mode in other series, so recently, I decided to give Manager Mode a shot in my Yankees Franchise. I've fallen absolutely in love with the mode, and don't see myself playing MLB The Show any other way. I've tested and tweaked these using the Hybrid rosters, which I would definitely reccomend. I use Quick Counts, but these sliders should work well whether you use Quick Counts or not.
Settings
Gameplay Options
Decision Timer: 4 seconds
Batting View: Broadcast
Fielding View: Broadcast
Presentation Options
Presentation Mode: Broadcast
Batter Walkup: Off - This is user preference, but since I use Quick Counts, I find this just helps the game flow better, and makes presentational element transitions make more sense. For example, after an out is made, you'll see a replay, and hear the PA announcer introducing the next hitter, so during that time, the hitter is stepping to the plate. With this on, it'll look like the hitter is JUST making his way to the batter’s box after the replay/presentation element is over.
In-game Ticker: On
- Closed Captioning: Off
- Mode Updates: On/Occasional
- MLB.com Updates - On

I use the great options available over at the SOTS forums, and find the settings below to give that great broadcast feel.
