    I'd like to see some commentary next year, but the lack of it in this version won't be a reason for be to get bored with the game.

      I also would love to hear some commentary in the game. Not normal commentary but something a little over the top fitting the style of the game. Also the fielding needs work. I find myself watching balls go right by my feet. Other than that it's a great little game. Only thing I have on Xbox one as far as a fun baseball game. Best part is, it's free if your a good member on Xbox live!

          Roster share and Cross Play Multiplayer exhibition and it’s game over.

            Fielding flyballs threw me off at first - and is still a work in progress for me. But I like the fact that you don't know if a hard hit ball will be a home run. One time I took control of my CF and sprinted back towards the wall but gave up thinking it was a sure home run. I then watched the ball plop right in front of me on the warning track. Funny moments like that make the game great, and losing fun.

              Roster share is a must. This game is super fun and the best baseball game on the xbox. I did create a Doctor Who team, but it does take a little time to do. Would love roster sharing, so I could have an mlb season. Also for next version a create a stadium would be cool.

                Not really feeling commentary, but definitely would be into roster sharing.

                Filling a custom league with various other user-created custom teams would be a lot of fun.

                  Am I missing something or is there NOT in-game stats?

                    I understand the desire for commentary but I have thought about it zero times when playing this game. I like having the sound of the ballpark while I'm anticipating the next pitch.

                    Also with the game speed being so fast (if you so choose), I feel like the commentary will always be behind.

                    Still if it were an option, it would be cool. I just don't see it as a priority for the team. Not yet.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                      How do you choose that?

                        I'd place roster share above commentary if we're looking at additions for the next installment in the series.

                        This game is a blast.

                          Got a few Questions...

                          Do seasons go on (Franchise)? Like after a year can you continue it and it keep track of stats ( and Records)?
                          Also, are there Awards and things?
                          If seasons continue, do players progress?

                            My top things would be

                            *Roster share
                            *Create a player/career mode (would be perfect for a game like this)
                            *Some type of franchise mode. Don't need much just something.

                              This game is at least 100x more fun than The Show. My opinion.
