My spin on Presentation/Commentary

[Jon Arbuckle]

Haven't had commentary turned on since my first week of play at release. I miss Vasgersian but there's no way I'm listening to the 'analysts' repeat themselves ad nauseam.

Please bring back the option to mute individual voices and thus create a solo Vasgersian booth!

To his credit, I think Harold has been great this year as an analyst. Very dynamic.

Not so much a fan of Plesac, but he's ok

Harold is fine. He and Dan just don't have enough lines so they're very redundant.

My thing is just get the commentary right. Dan Plesac talks about thats why I wasn't a good hitter. On balls like that I am getting out of the way. Why have that in the game. Dan Plesac was a closer in Milwaukee, HE NEVER HIT. Or when they show the splits for righty vs lefty and a righty is on the mound, guy is hitting 200 against righties and 300 against lefties. Commentary says this is a good matchup with him facing a righty today. The pitcher on the mound is left handed. On mound visits when they say the coach would hate to pull him out of the game this early and its in the 8th inning.

You see redundancy is not going to be alleviated no matter how many lines the commenters has, it is a recording.

The commentary just needs to be in context and use the correct OSD when talking about stats, and drill deeper into stats the sabermetric side. Right now the commentary is surface level stats. There is no talk of WAR when a player come back from a day off or injury, RISP when the pitchers versus a right or left hander, the same for the batter.

This.

I see this bug all the time, not sure why it hasn't been fixed.

I put a bug report in for that a number of patches ago along with a few other commentary bugs, would often get Matty V say hitters were better here at home in arlington when playing away, i haven't heard that line for awhile now so seems like they just cut it out rather than fix it and have the line played when at gl park.
