    And the announcers are...

    My buddy **Name Censored** (if a moderator wants to know the name and ties PM me and I'd be happy to oblige) over @ 2k Marin (also has T2 corporate ties) told me:

    Well one of them is Orioles and ESPN announcer Gary Thorne and the other is Steve Physioch

    Anywho, I love the choice of Gary Thorne.

    I really don't have a problem with "who" announces as long as the content is good and varied and they have some personality. But variation is key, it could be a relative unknown, far as I'm concerned.

      He's an studio analyst who rarely if ever announces, and the recording was done in Stamford, CT.

      I'll give you some hints,

      It could be Steve Physioch or John Kruk or someone else?

      Anywho, I love the choice of Gary Thorne.
      Link?

        Gary Thorne in NHL 2K5 and NHL 09 is terrific. Great choice. Now... link?

            Thorne has that special spark!

              Thorne is great! He will bring some much added energy to the booth...thought he worked for EA though

                I'm with bigfnjoe96 on this one...a link would be nice.

                If it's indeed true, it's a pretty weird choice...Thorne will be announcing games from both rival companies!

                  I will believe it when I see it. I am not saying the op is lying, but on the internet, unless you have a link to back it up, you're lying....know what I mean?

                    I hate when people do this. Where's the link so this can be verified?
                    NBA2K is the standard of sports games period.

                      Well hell, I was going to just write MLB2k9 off after rebuying 2k8 this week to see if installing to the 360 HD would fix the end of game framerate disaster. (it doesn't by the way, if anything its actually worse) But if Thorne is doing the play by play I'll have to buy it since I'm a sucker for his comentary. The man's voice is just perfect for broadcasting sports, and if he brings the same emotion he did for NHL2k and NHL200x, that will handle my issue with MLB2k's as of late lack of atmosphere.

                          The OP is a friend of mine. He had a "hint" at who they where, he asked my opinion on who it could be, I answered and is almost certain correct.

                            This guy is an idiot. It's not Gary Thorne. Maybe is should be Bill Clement as color commentator. It's not either one of them. Don't believe everything you read guys.

                              Interesting because it makes the game much more playable on my system when I play it from the hard drive. I can even have the highlights and cut scenes on and there is minimal frame rate issues now. It also looks more crisp and detailed. It still is not perfect but it is playable. Although, I hate when a groundball is hit right next to your guy and he just freezes up and the ball rolls on by.
