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

First of all, this commentary argument is a little rediculous. I am not saying it wouldn't be nice to have commentary like NBA 2K and MLB 2K, I just don't see why it is such a big deal to people. Unless you never skip a cut screen when you play, this shouldn't be an issue. For me, it isn't. People kind of just need to take it easy with it. Commentary in sports video games is very rarely very good, and only a couple of games, and just one company, 2K, has got it right.

And secondly, game looks great as usual, I was hoping for a little more with postseason, but it will probably feel different when I get to sit down, play it, and cut through the cut scenes.

Yeah, I have to agree with all that is said, and it's not so much that the commentary is bad all-around, just that I'd expect more excitement and variance in the Postseason mode since it was so hyped.

Other than a few new cut scenes and louder volume, I don't see a whole lot more. It's pretty bad that none of the sports games (except maybe NHL) can accurately bring alive different atmospheres (College Football, NFL Playoffs, Postseason Baseball, etc.)

Postseason mode--much needed addition to the series. And it looks great.

It's been said, but I can't get over that boring HR call. I'm not a stickler when it comes to commentary, but that was a very lame call. And Matt said "Let's go down to the PA Announcer for the starting lineups" or something and then...silence. Did I miss something?
Enough of that.

Only other thing that somewhat bugs me is that it says "Postseason" on the scorebug. Seems generic. As if the game is promoting this mode rather than reflecting real life.
Why doesn't it display "NLDS Game 1?"
I mean we know it's the postseason...

Aside from it all, we should be happy we have this new mode to gripe about :wink:

Who would have ever thought that "take some pine meat!" would be a welcome addtion to commentary in the year 2013...

...emotion has been done, good and bad for years and years. I think if the community spoke up for it SCEA would provide. But if it happens that the vocal majority defends the subpar commentary then oh well.

Listening to Matt V. on the Hot Stove show on MLB Network is totally different. He's a real cool dude and his real life broadcast are good. But for the game it sounds like he is just reading lines and the rest of the guys don't have enough lines.

If anyone has heard his "Santa Maria" home run call you know he has the emotion in there. It would be great to hear the real Matt V. in the game.

But the game looks amazing. Can't wait.

SCEA needs to grab Play-by-play man Jon Sciambi and analyst Chris Singleton & maybe Dan Shulman or Hershiser next year. book 'em Dano

I'm pretty sure boring commentary has been one of the biggest complaints with the series since I started coming here.

@slick...oh yeah you're right about that but what I'm saying is that most of us who wanted to see the improvement in that area thought it would have happened by now. But I;m glad they've made attempts with different voices, it's just that their main guy is the main "problem." The best thing they did - and hat's off to them for this - was to allow us to turn on/off each announcer individually. Brilliant!

Observations, saw some good and some bad things

some very nice new stances that are looking much better, especially on Jupton.

still no new fielding gloves, thats a big disappointment, its been 5+ years, need to see more than one type of glove for the designated positions (OF , IF/P, 1B and C). Its a bit ridiculous at this point, but hey there wont be any excuses for not having them on PS4!

nice addition to wear the finger in the glove as most pitchers do that now days

unfortunately wont be able to use huddy again this year since they didnt re-do his pitching motion away from that herky jerky one he has now.

a bit disappointed they went and paid nike money to ONLY get an undershirt, but again something we have to look forward to on PS4!

Geez you guys are hard to please.

Anyways i customize all my sounds in each stadium with my own songs and walk up entrances.

I turn off the commentary and jus have the stadium sounds, its like being at the ballpark.

I can't believe that after that entire video all anyone can do is complain about the commentary. Can we say "spoiled"? If I was a developer from SCEA and saw this forum thread, I would note that the commentary needs to be reworked then pat myself on the back for the next 30 days or so.

I'm not going to talk about the commentary but I was overall happy with the video. They almost got the playoff atmosphere down except for 2 things...

1) Just in the 1st half inning for the home team every out needs to be as loud as the first pitch is. This happens the start of every MLB game, the home crowd gets nuts for the first 3 outs.

2) They really need to add the playoff logo to the hats and world series, that is one thing that really adds to the playoff atmosphere and sets apart the post-season and regular season.

I dont care about the commentary. I am buying this game no doubt and this video has me even more excited about it. Also it is good to see they have edited some batting stances like they did for Bj Upton. Cant wait!
