thankfully no harold reynolds, Jon Marosi would be great for on field stuff.

If and only if theyre replacing Karros and Lyons, despite the popular belief it will be MLB Network related a good possibility for the second name is Ray Fosse He's on the west coast in California near the studios and has one of those baseball voices, plus hes a super nice guy.

To the Bob Costas guess, oh man I wish! never happen but wow

Whatever happened to the Human IK engine? Is that still a thing or did it get scrapped? I remember that was a huge emphasis in the trailers a year or two back and then I dont know what happened.

It was introduced in 16.

We implemented it, it's still there.

It was introduced in 16 with the pitchers

Everyone uses IK not just the pitchers, it was just easiest to show off the changes using pitchers.

That was a typo on my part. I meant to delete pitchers.

While we are speculating, franchise front office could be similar to Madden in which you spend money to maintain and upgrade facilities.

One thing I like about the show is you can turn gm firing off which allows you to stay with your same team. My biggest problem with FIFA - and the reason I didn't buy it this year - you can't turn off firing and as the goals progress you eventually are almost guaranteed to get fired and all your hard work to build the franchise is gone.

I don't understand why people clamor for the option to change prices on concessions and tickets... No matter what you set the prices at, and no matter what effect on "fan interest" it had, it never actually made a difference... The same amount of fans would show up and make the same amount of noise for every positive play of every game.

Now... If it were something where it effected budget, or if your "fan interest" declined, you wouldn't have anybody at the ballpark and you could actually see consequences such as reduced attendance when you played, or get fired or have to relocate... that would be different. Otherwise, it's just a number next to a stock photo that has no outcome on anything else that you do.

Just my 2 pennies.

I'd like Vasgersian changed. Not because he's bad but because since he's been so long with this series that he feels robotic at this point. There's so many basic lines that he repeats that my brain only processes it as a computer programming spitting out repeated audio. And I know that's what it truly IS but that shouldn't be what it feels like when playing this game. His voice just feels stale to me and a new commentator would feel fresh and different even if he's saying the exact same lines. Again I love Matty V but I feel his time in this game is past its expiration date. Just my two cents, I wanted to mention it because I'm sure others may feel the same.

Who's your favorite broadcaster IRL? Do you want him changed? I think it is a matter of adding more lines and context. Personally, I think the commentators talk to much. Even IRL they allow the game to breathe at times.

My favorite broadcaster in real life doesn't repeat the same lines over and over like the commentators in the video game do. Even if he says the same words it's different every time because it's real life and not a recording. In the game it's the same audio clips repeated over and over. It's not the same comparison.

So then it would be the same with a new broadcaster even worse while they had to build up so many lines over the years. Some lines annoy me for sure because it can be repetitive but especially in baseball where there are so many games it's pretty unavoidable

It's the same with all sports video games, there's only so many lines that can be recorded so once you play the game enough your gonna be hearing the same lines repeated. I find the wishing of better commentary to be pretty redundant at this point

How many years has Vasgersian been in the show? A decade or close to it? Of course every game commentator gets repetitive but a couple of years of the same commentator is nowhere near as tough to listen to as a decades worth.

Look I understand this isn't everyone's opinion and I wouldn't hate if Vasgersian stayed either but I'm giving my reasons for wanting a fresh voice hopefully sooner than later.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Live Twitch Stream and Developer Blog Schedule Revealed

It's not the hearing of the same lines over and over again that bothers me about Vasgersian....it's the hearing of the same lines over and over again for almost a decade that bothers me.

Big difference between the two and I think a reasonable issue to bring up.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Livestream Schedule Revealed Along With New Features

Really interested to see this new catch and throw engine and put together with better ball physics this could make the defensive side of the ball so much more fun and exciting again. This could really make it more difficult to play the field and really change the variation of plays made. So excited!
