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

I registered just to make this comment.

I buy The Show every year and my biggest gripe the past 2 years is the stale commentary. Most forums, websites and players I talk to say it's the biggest weakness of the game. If 2K can get it right, so can The Show.

This is the first year I won't be buying the game on launch day.

SCEA San Diego, I really hope you guys are given resources to come up with a fresh build next year. This is a bargain bin purchase for me in 2013.

RE: commentary

how about you guys play the game before making assumptions?

this is like judging a girls personality over her facebook picture....

I couldn't finish reading through this thread. It got repetitive and boring really quick, seeing the same posts over and over. :wink:

Anyway... I don't really know how much we can garner from one inning of one game. First impressions do matter somewhat, but come on.

Commentary isn't that hard you need to get the broadcasters and let them sit there and call the game. That's one of the big problems NCAA and Madden have it doesn't feel natural. That's all we want is for the commentary to feel real. It isn't terrible but it could be a lot better I'm still buying the game.

Wow, weeks of complaining about no video, then pages and pages of complaining about one inning of commentary.

I know others care a lot more about commentary than I do (I always turn it off in sports games, I know it's going to get repetitive as much as I play). I readily admit that there's a ton of room for improvement in this area, and I'd like to see good improvement in future years.

Having said that . . . after reading this thread you'd think this was supposed to be a game focused on the guys in the booth. Honestly, if commentary is the most important thing for you . . . I'm not sure why you're looking to a video game to scratch that itch. Heck, do many of you actually watch or listen to baseball broadcasts? The real life guys aren't always that great either. Plus, what does it for one person totally annoys another person (I personally wish Joe Buck was banned from ever coming within 500 yards of a baseball stadium). Baseball commentary is a totally different beast than any other sport, and filling in every dead space isn't necessarily a good solution.

Again, not making excuses, not saying that there's not a ton of room for improvement, just observing that a lot of people seem to approach this with an assumption that there's an easy solution.

Oh, and the people who say it's a roster update . . . check out the Fact Sheet if you haven't yet. I mean . . . c'mon.

Ok cool, so i guess you never minded when a game botches the pronunciation of a players name?


Re: stuttering.

I have never experienced stuttering in the Show before, outside of a used ps3 I bought at GStop that had a custom HD in it. I swapped that out for a different ps3 and it went away.

In any event, SCEA will look into it i am sure. First day patch maybe if they read this thread and then see it for themselves?

This is one good reason in favor of demos for sports games. Glitches and what not can be found early and then fixed based on feedback.

SCEA should put Kiner in and add a gameplay option to toggle "commentator variability/inaccuracy" as we can do for umpires....

Noticed this as well. This isn't good. Someone from MLB's development team needs to look into this.

Steven Strasburg in a playoff game? This game is already unrealistic,

[beerdujour]

I didn't think Strasburg pitched in the playoffs...

posted my comment without reading the other pages...what are the odds that I followed Deetrain's comment about Strasburg?...feel like a comic at the Improv rolling out the exact routine as the prior comedian...

I don't have an issue with the commentary at all...I sounds real and authentic..I mean really, go listen to a real broadest, sounds dead almost all the time until someone makes a big play anyway..

This isn't football or basketball.

I thought he was horrible when he did the commentary for this series. Talk about boring! As far as the commentary we all know it needs a new direction and approach. It's not the best but it also is not the worst. It is actually pretty deep in content but falls short on approach and style. SCEA is aware of what people are looking for but I would not expect the transformation to happen on the turn of a dime.

As far as the stutter hang ups, I saw a few of them in that vid. Curious if he did the min or max install. Also, before anyone asks we don't play the game off a disk so we would not pick that up at CD.

nemesis, I did not suggest Scully for this game! The post I quoted and repled to above talks about real broadcasts, and dead air. Well, Vin Scully doesn't leave dead air--and he is a HOF announcer whether you like him or not. Now, the other baseball game has a more dynamic team in the booth and presents quite a contrast to what this game offers.

As for who should be in this game, if you don't like Scully, how can you like Matt? I mean, Matt's voice is pretty much devoid of emotion. Listen to Yankee broadcasts and listen to The Show. The point is, unlike what the poster above suggests, real baseball has exciting broadcasts and/or broadcasts without lots of dead air.

Its the video upload. You can tell because the background shade is constantly changing & it freezes along with video... People should do research before calling out Devs to look into non existing problems. Haha

Wrong. This happened in last years game also and it was brought up in these forums. Trouble was that people experienced it but didn't have video to show it. Now we do. Google MlB 12 pitch stutter and you'll see.

This is a bigger problem than commentary. Imagine how angry you'll be playing an important game in your season when this happens and causes you to strike out.
