Really Hope MLB Network Theme Returns in '24

[countryboy]

The presentation in '23 is absolutely amazing in my opinion. The two separate themes for National and Regional Broadcast are done well in that it actually feels like two different presentations versus just a change to score overlay and ticker.

While the name database is catching up due to the change in announcers, the overall presentation is light years ahead of where it was back in '21 with the old annoucing crew. Boog brings some excitement in the PBP delivery that we barely got with Matty V.

With that said, I'm hoping beyond hope that they bring back the MLB Network Theme as a 3rd presentation style, something we haven't seen in a few years. Would love to have a National like ESPN/Fox style presentation, local/regional presentation (Show Midwest) and then a MLB Network style presenation with possibly the Friday Night Showcase style presentation.

I was thinking they could break it down as:

National Broadcast (Saturday/Sunday games ala Fox/TBS/ESPN)
MLB Network (Friday Night Showcase with additional telecasts sprinkled thru the week)
Regional Broadcast (All your games not on the other two themes)

I absolutely love that idea. In franchise even if you start kinda like in MVP 2005 and you start making money the more money you can get better players and win a lot more. Then you can get that national broadcast alot more often, even have radio, ads ect I think your team winning or making playoffs it should be rewarded with things like that instead of rewarded with nothing lol. Would also love to see the not really broadcast but the overlays for classic rosters like you see on old time moments would give you that more old timey feel.

The more the merrier, theme-wise. Also, I only have Boog and Chris turned on for Sunday games. And I want Sony to add a one-man ''radio'' broadcast, for my MiLB games. It doesn't even have to be a real-life announcer, they should probably hire a voice actor.

I never use regional because it does not show how many Ks a pitcher has after a K. Another extremely minor coding issue that persists.

How many other people have noticed that?

I wish they’d do the same for walks but neither broadcast does.

I love the presentation work they did last year with the regional broadcasts and the added stat overlays.

Much more immersion.

Re: Really Hope MLB Network Theme Returns in '24

They've added Stat overlays and similar immersion items like that over the years, but I hope they don't stop. The more the better.

I noticed that too. I still really like the regional theme, but it is kind of annoying

It was like that in 22 as well. I think it’s a design. Because in 21 when we had the Show theme and regional theme, it was on the regional theme.

The Show theme is back (100%) based on an off the cuff comment I heard recently. Person in know) No further details, sorry.

Which year(s) did the game have 3 themes? I remember at one point you had MLBN, “Theme 1” default for MLB games, and “Theme 2” default for minors.

I know for sure 20 had 3. Want to say that was the last year. I can’t remember if 21 had them or if 20 was the last year.

20 was the last year. I remember because I bought a PS4 just for that game. Then it came out on my usual console Xbox One for 21 and I sold the PS4 LOL.

About overlays we need the option also to use the DD old time overlays in any game we want. There's at least three there - the one used in Negro Leagues and old time games that's basic black and white. There's the one used in Retro Mode used for 70s and 80s moments and the 90s one that's Blue and Red.

Throw us a bone SDS.

MLB 18 had three different themes with Theme 1 and Theme 2 and MLBN.

On MLB 19 they removed one of the non MLBN themes and we had 2 themes for 19 and 20.

Re: Really Hope MLB Network Theme Returns in '24

I was just remembering when they would give us the week ahead schedule. That would be nice to return. Or at least have the announcers say oh the Yankees are off to Toronto after this game while the Red Sox stay home and play the Rays.

Re: Really Hope MLB Network Theme Returns in '24

I'm playing the outstanding ATG 98 rosters now and would love to use the 90s overlays found in Diamond Dynasty Race Of 98, but it's not an option [emoji19]. That's a waste of good art assets.
