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

[cnelly4]

Yeah, I have never griped about The Show because it is always amazing, but the commentary is still a bore. Too much dead time between pitches. They brought in Lyons, but you still only hear him maybe once per inning. A homerun in the first inning of a playoff game and Matt treats it like a homerun during BP.

That's what I do as well, I just skip the scenes of players standing around since that's usually when the silence occurs.

NBA2k says, wassuuuuuuuuuuuppp!


But be honest, 1 inning of gameplay or not, that was underwhelming as far as commentary.

Crowd sounds on the other hand were nice.
I can imagine during a rally, and your on the mound, the noise sounds like it can rattle the hell out of you.

But even NBA2kX gets repetative. I understand that people want better commentary, I do too. However, we a)aren't going to see that in this generation, and b) are still going to be limited as there isn't constant action on the field. A lot of storytelling goes on during nine inning games that last 162 days out of the season.

I'm fine with the commentary in The Show 12 and IF I get 13 I'll live with it again, BUT...

...for anyone to think its a limit of the console I submit to you 2k5 and APF. Doesnt get better than those, and one of them was for an inferior console.

edit:I just realized I compared commentary from 2 football games to a baseball game. I don't know if its harder to implement good commentary in a baseball game

anyway, usually the HR calls have more expression later in the game (in a close game or a walkoff) Seems when i hit it then, it has emotion, since not every HR needs exuberant emotin... Right?

Well I definitely love having Matt V. call the game. For PS4 I would like to see them go after this.

NBA 2k does a really outstanding job with their commentary. MLB 2k really sounds great as well. Those are two fantastic examples to learn from.

Yes, the gameplay of the Show is unmatched!!! I love what they have always done and I will continue to support the developers as they are the best in the business. When the PS4 rolls around, I hope to see the commentary get a complete overhaul and the addition of finally adding rain delays, cancellations, double-headers, stadium roofs closing based on this........ALL AS AN OPTION.

Overall even this video has me excited for this year! They are trying folks and I agree I am sure system limitations and time are playing a factor. They took care of priority #1 and that is GAMEPLAY, GRAPHICS, OPTIONS, REALISM. Every year they improve and I'm sure we can't say that about other development teams out there.

Did not take long for the excuses to come in.....Yea dead air all over the place is due to the resources...Comical

The commentary is flat out terrible...How can 2K basketball have emotion and a million times better commentary. A huge dunk or 3 the announcers go crazy. In the Show is like a foul ball during spring training.
