that's a stylistic choice. The development team wants the commentary to be purposefully dry. lazy sunday afternoon baseball.

regardless I look forward to The Show 18

Anyone who thinks Mark DeRosa is boring and monotone clearly doesn't watch MLB Tonight.

You can say the same about Matt V. He is great in real life, awful in game. That is the fruits of reading lines!

Harold did fine reading lines. But the real important thing here is they are all recording together. That should be conducive to a more natural sounding conversation between the 3. Part of the reason it's always sounded so boring and sterile is because when they were recording lines, they'd have nothing and no one to naturally react to.

I like the crowd stuff. I'm currently playing in the ALDS and the crowd is just off. they aren't as loud as they should be so if it's been improved that will be a plus. Not going to talk about the commentary stuff since I need to actually hear it first.

Maybe they did that regarding franchise as well.

We already know the asterisks for the Franchise stream stand for "Phases".

Oh well, another year with turning off the commentary option in the game, what else is new!

Kind of indifferent on this, more like a wait and see how they sound. I did like Reynolds though, Plesac I can take or leave.

This video was about as exciting as this years hot stove. I hope they pep it up in the stream.
