MLB The Show 13 Gameplay Video - Atlanta Braves vs. Washington Nationals (Postseason)

[SportsGamingBlake]

Matty V showed absolutely no emotion on Harper's home run. I like the new swing animations though and this postseason presentation (aside from commentary) is a step in the right direction.

Do they announce every count or do they bring fourth anecdotes and interesting statistics? There is only so much they can do with what they are using; they aren't going to get these guys to come sit in your living rooms and call every play.

This made chuckle thinking about all the stuff Mario and Rod (FOX Detroit) talk about that is irrelevant to baseball! Lmao, Rod is one funny mofo! He's not trying to be tho...

"Ohhhh Jackson!!" Lol

I thought the new audio sounded amazing and the presentation was gorgeous. Maybe it is because I do not care too much about commentary as I care about the sounds on the field and crowd.

Strange to see so much negativity on commentary when like Jgainsey said, they never said they improved it.

Those two are god awful. Especially Rod Allen. They're so bad I mute my TV and listen to Dan and Jim. Even though Jim Price is kind of hard to listen to. Dan Dickerson is awesome.

I really like Gary Cohen, Ron Darling, and Keith Hernandez. Whenever I watch a Mets broadcast I feel so involved in the game. The way they bounce their knowledge of the game off each other and explain each situation is amazing.

I thought they said they lowered the pitch speed. It still seems incredibly fast to me.

I brought this up on page 5 of this thread. Apparently everyone is so intent on railing on the commentary that we may all be missing the bigger picture here...

Because it's easier to focus on the negative. For all the things this game does right, people tend to focus on possibly its only weakness. Comparing to other games that have great/better commentary (NBA 2K aside), but at what cost when the rest of the game is a mess?

The commentary issue in The Show is one of quality, not quantity. And the fact that the real-time presentations are just that, where if you skipped them, the commentary would flow together more smoothly. That's why the other games real-time scenes have become less prevalent.

Just goes to show how spoiled we have become especially those of us that played Commodore 64 baseball
