Re: MLB Network Presentation Confirmed For MLB The Show 17

Personally, I tend to go in the complete opposite direction. What I wish they would consider moving forward is a one man booth...Matty V is fine...or whoever they decide to get.

Why? Because if they did not have to worry about the second and/or third guy in the booth, the commentary could be tweaked to:

1) really dive deeper into current game history as well as how player is doing during season and for his career
2) no worry about disjointed conversations, having things sound stitched together, or irrelevant, no awkward pauses or commentary while play is proceeding, etc
3) play by play guy could be brought in as season progresses to update/add new lines (like Madden does now)
4) would eliminate the repetitiveness we all get tired of hearing after a week or two of playing the game

I think if they just revamped with a one man booth, they could really make the commentary stellar and a lot less repetitive. Concentrate on the game at hand, with comments about how player/team is doing for the season, etc. This happens now to a certain extent, but if they expanded on it without having to throw it to another announcer for other comments, I think it would sound a lot more authentic and fresh.

Let's face it...very few have been happy with the 2 or 3 man booth. There is no indication that this model can or will get any better just due to the fact that much of the audio has to be pre-canned and we will hear it over and over. No fault of the developers, it's just the way it is...and not just for the Show...other sport games suffer from the same.

Just my $.02...
