MLB The Show 13 Gameplay Video - Atlanta Braves vs. Washington Nationals (Postseason)

[22cowboys22]

You guys with your commentary gripes.. I mean.. The system resources are limited. The software technology ( coding ) for such a thing is limited. What do you expect ?

This generation of consoles is not capable of having AI commentators with emotional behavior like they're watching a real game.

i agree 300% with slthree their is no excuse for the commentary to be so dry year after year just terrible.....a baseball game can get pretty boring without good commentary to help keep you going IMO.That's mostly why I rather play mlb2k cause their commentary is way better just not the overall package.

the defensive lineup cutaways are downright horrible and cheap.These guys really need big time help to pull their presentation together to work right, they have the piece's they just don't fit right.

Even the best commentary gets stale pretty fast. And I don't really like the player specific banter that other games do, because once you hear it once, you get tired of it, and you usually hear it every single game. Ugh.

Just give me some generic play-by-play commentary and I'm happy. I usually just end up using the Music Mode anyway.

Re: MLB 13 The Show gameplay video

Lots of improvements overall but nothing too game changing. I kind of wish we could, at the very least, hear the end of the National Anthem.

I'll echo what everyone else has said, the commentary is a snooze fest. If you really think non boring commentary isn't possible then go watch youtube vids of the other game. We all love The Show, but everyone that's defending the commentary like we're insulting their mothers needs to stop. The "White Knighting" (no pun intended Knight) for The Show on these forums gets really old. Just because people point out a flaw with the game, that doesn't mean that we don't like the game or its developer. We all appreciate the work they put in year in and year out. We also appreciate how active they are responding to us and our concerns. As well as how they work with us to stamp out any flaws the game may have.

With that being said the lack of updates to the commentary year in and year out is a concern. If there is one thing SCEA still struggles with it is the commentary. 2K sports (all their games), Fifa, NHL, and I'm sure there are others have commentary that is very good. All commentary is going to get repetitive regardless of what game it is. The problem with The Show is that it is already boring enough as it is, but then it also gets repetitive very quickly. Its an unfortunate issue that we have to deal with for now along with the NCAA and Madden people



Yea but they added another guy to the booth a few years back (I don't remember which one) and he added virtually nothing to the table. Seems like Lyon is the same way. There needs to be some kind of back and forth especially if you are going to have 3 guys in the booth. Instead one guy says 90% of the stuff and the other 2 add maybe 10%

THIS IS by far one of the most on point posts I've EVER read on here.. And I'm on here in threads EVERYDAY. This is exactly how I feel. Too many people get burned for being honest.. There's the ones that seem like they are secret workers for SECA.. And ones who make ridiculous points. But the commentary is not something anyone pays any attention to any ore because, well... There's nothing else to be found really:/ I love the show Though and it's the only game I get EVERY year.

The Presentation looked astounding to me, just glancing over, looking at the overlays and OSD's I'd think it was a real broadcast. Commentary is what it is and people think like they do. It may get fixed on PS4, heck it may not but this is what we got for 13.

Wtf? ABSOLUTELY no emotion from Matt V when Harper in that homerun? Come on........

Re: MLB The Show 13 Gameplay Video - Atlanta Braves vs. Washington Nationals (Postsea

I love The Show, I play it more than any other game and it's not even close. The game is so close to perfection for a baseball fan that it's scary. However, I have to agree with pretty much everyone else, the commentary has really lagged behind the rest of the game. There is way too much dead air and it just doesn't sound like the three announcers are actually together in the booth; they never seem to interact with each other. They just throw out random lines when appropriate and go silent again.

There also needs to be more excitement on calls like the homerun in the video. A homerun for the home team in the first inning of a Game 1 should sound differently than a homerun in May.

Besides commentary, The Show 13 is looking amazing!!

Re: Commentary.

I am sure they would love to go in a new direction/start over with the commentary.
But lot of other things needed tending to this year as well. I guess a voice-over revamp wasn't a smart idea this late in the cycle maybe? Too much voice work to do seeing as this is like 8 years or so worth of matt going strong in the script.
I guess they figured, throw us a bone and get rid of Soup, who was getting on peoples nerves, and that'll solve some of the announcing woes and keep us complainers at bay.
Well, they gave us Lyons, which I'd like to thank them for, but I didn't hear him hardly in this clip to know if he was worth it! lol

Also, he sounds too much like Karros IMO

The dead air in this clip really clashes with the otherwise stellar Postseason atmosphere.
If this was a May clip, 'd still have a beef, but if stands out even more against the october backdrop

Screw it.
Grab Thorne and lets do this in 14.

though that would be hard to progam i would think... Different HR calls for different innings/situations/walkoffs, etc. right?

[Lovesports]

The show's poor commentary has nothing to do with system capabilities. Its all about the delivery of the commentary. Madden didnt revolutionize anything this year, they simply got rid of collinsworth. Nba commentary is lively period. Sure its repetitive, every game is after playing it for a couple of days. Point is, this can easily be fixed with better commentators, more excitment and better lines

That is what you call emotion...I am sure it happens even in a spring training game because it is a walk off hr.

This is a post season game in first inning and the announcer says. The ball is hit deep and not coming back...Up next Ryan Zimmerman.

Lame as hell specially for a pimped out mode called Post season where the only thing diff is the overlays.

You call talk about sports games needing to have better presentation and atmosphere yet for the show the excuses are everywhere. Dead air and no emotion in POst Season game on a hr. He called it like it was a back up infielder in a spring training game between royals and astros.
