to be fair they couldnt go 100% new commentary.
Besides some of the stuff is just generic banter that u need to fill the gaps.
I mean how many ways can u call a hit to left field? plus its 162 game season.
repetition is inevitable, even if it was all new.
in a real televised game the guys call a grounder to first probably the exact way or close to it every time, for the most part.
There will be much to be pumped about in terms of commentary this year from what we are hearing from Russ and Slab.
that being said, its still behind the times for a game in 2012.
as far as looking identical, the OSDs are all new, also new TBP cutaways between pitches and after.
Player models and basic graphics< does it really even need to improve? any changes on the ps3 at this stage would be minimal.
