MLB The Show 18 Twitch Stream Starting Now - Presentation & Commentary

[Chai2112]

Overall the new commentary sounds much better and more natural than years past. One thing that has driven me crazy in years past and still is, for example, around 33 minutes in there's a homerun and the commentary is just lagging. Meaning, the ball is already landing in the stands when you hear the commentator say "Profar looking up... and it's gone!" The "Profar looking up" should happen earlier and not while the ball is landing in the stands.

I also love the new sound of the ball hitting the wall out in the stands on a homerun early on in the stream.

Damn, was hoping during the cool blimp and other stadium camera shots that we would get a good view at Fenway from atop the Monster... really hoping this is in.

Also looks like they fixed the base coach helmets. Nice little touch

Atleast you can win. Being in Canada I can never win anything unless don't changes the rules and allows people outside of the United States to win.

What about the Pitch Speed? How do we know when a new pitcher comes in the game what the speed is for each pitch. For example in 16 when you press pause...you see this

4SFB 96 MPH
Slider 88 mph
Change up 85 mph
Curveball 78 mph

So you always know what your up against. Seems kind of odd that in game now you have no idea

This Screen For Example. In 16 you would be able to view this on the pause screen, where can you view it in Game now?

In 17 you can hit pause (Option Button)
Or are you asking where it's at in the upcoming '18?
