    Miller and Morgan to be announcers in MLB 2K6!

    GameSpot is the world's largest source for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS Vita, Wii PC, 3DS, PSP, DS, video game news, reviews, previews, trailers, walkthroughs, and more.


    "The loss of the ESPN license means things will look different when it comes to in-game graphics and load-screen introductions. While that is a bit of a disappointment, the good news is that ESPN broadcasters Jon Miller and Joe Morgan will be returning to the announcing booth for 2K6. The duo made a stellar pairing in last year's game and we expect that trend to continue this year as well."

    This is very good news. I love to listen to Miller and Morgan call the Sunday Night games on ESPN. So now the announcer question is answered, now if we could only get gameplay questions answered.
    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 :(

        I thought we heard about this last week?

        Who knows... I might be late on some official confirmation or something.



        I don't mind Miller and Morgan, but I just wish that 2K could do something to make sure that they have that kind of "fill-in" commentary. Now, it doesn't have to be comedic, but "Tim Kitzrow & Jimmy Shorts" and "Dan Stevens & Peter O' Keefe" had some nice "fill-in" commentary, that wasn't just about the play itself. Aside from fanmail questions, there needs to be more off-topic... or maybe even on-topic. Like, between pitches, they just need to start talking about the batter, team, or division. It doesn't have to include overlays and such... it would just be great for it to be there, though.

        Another thing that I wish they were allowed to do (or that I wish they did do) was be more expressive for anything dramatic, especially home runs. For the playoffs, they need to have their own separate lines of commentary, each with more enthusiasm. I'm sure they have plenty of room on the 360 to add these... it's plenty necessary IMO.



        Glad to hear they're there, though. I just wish they could take full advantage of these two. IMO, they aren't being taken advantage of as much without the ESPN license, though.

          Regardless...It will have to be better than the MVP commentary that I'm use too.

            Fill-in commentary gets old quick IMO. I can barely listen to Dan and Peter anymore in NFL 2K5, mostly because they repeat the same jokes every game and sometimes every quarter. The beauty of John and Joe's commentary is it's pure baseball and simply compliments what's happening on the field. And some of that is even repetitive, sure -- but it always has something to do with what's happening in the game, so it's never as tired as the fill-in commentary you're alluding to.

              Good to see them back!

              I really enjoyed their commentary in MLB 2K5.

                I'm glad to see them back. Their work last year imo was on of the best jobs doing commentary in the history of console sports gaming. Sorry if I went to far, I have been listening to to much Bill Walton and he is always putting everything in historical perspective.

                  Not far enough, IMO. Why only “one of” the best? Name another announcing team that’s better.

                    Two cats fighting would have been better than MVP's commentary from last year(grab some pine meat)

                      I understand about Dan and Peter. They had a lot in NFL 2K3, actually. But, what I'm saying is that they have so much room and so many gigabytes to fill in the commentary for this game (especially on the 360) that they need to MAKE a lot of lines for it. I'm not saying maybe 10... I'm saying maybe 10 per batter (if you're talking about statistics), maybe 20 per division, and maybe 50 per team! Then, there will be their own stuff, possibly pertaining to Flashback Replays. God, those better be good!

                            Not even a close call. John and Joe win hands down.
