100% agree. However, I usually only listen to the commentary 1 out of every 5 games I play. Usually have MLB Network Radio in my ear while The Show plays through the sound bar with commentary off. Has somewhat kept me from predicting what they say before they even say it.

Wish we could get a different broadcast team for RTTS. It’s unrealistic to hear Matt V announce the minor league games.

Im talking about the in game voice. I stated that in my post. Its the same with matt v, his real life voice does not compare to his in game voice. The video game recordings have been poorly done. The one stand out being harold reynolds, with his recording sounding similar to his real life broadcast voice.

I think the biggest issue is there is no dynamics to the commentary

If the score is 15-0 in the 9th, with 2 outs and a home run is his to make it 15-0 they will always say 'hang on a minute it aint over yet they still have life in them'. when it really should say 'it's all but to late'

and if a miracle comeback did happen. their would be no mention of them saying 'holy cow back from 15-0 down can you believe it! it would just be a generic line thrown in.

and everytime they talk about a starting pitching they talk about "he has a ERA of XXXX, he is not doing so well' he has a ERA of 2! he is doing great!

same with averages. they never talk about other important stats like OBP or WHIp or even WAR

They need to get this guy for next year.

Just wondering, what would make you happy with the commentary? Or at least turn it on? Not being confrontational, just curious as to what people are looking for.

I think what people are looking for simply can't be done., that would be to have weekly updated commentary lines.

Madden does it.
