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

[leinhart_6]

Was very excited to see some new gameplay and the presentation was looking pretty good. However commentary is still dull as ever.. Where are these extended conversations they were talking about with Steve Lyons?

All in all I'm still excited for this game, but commentary is definitely a big let down...

If you look at non-sports specific game media its a big complaint of sports games because they don't look as deep as we do.

I bet the vast majority of these people wouldn't even bother looking at a gameplay video shot like this, posted on a web site like this. People who hang around here are mostly repeaters, who should know a bit better.....

Like, you watch MLB games this year and say, "well, the sport hasn't gotten any better compared to last year..... looks pretty similar to me. what has Bud Selig been doing?? Baseball has been a mere roster update the past few years...."

What can they do about it.....

Please. NBA 2k13 has fantastic commentary. As hard as it may be for some people to admit, the MLB 2k series has great commentary as well. Commentary in The Show has always been it's huge flaw. I agree, the commentary is flat and boring.

I don't personally have much of a problem with the commentary, but I'd like to see more of the emotion that Vasgersian has...This has been posted before but is a great example:

Yea...the first few games. After that you hear the same story or covo every damn game. I agree on The Show being dull...but 2k while its good still gets annoying.

I've heard the same commentary for 6 years on this game. At least with NBA 2k they relate to your active franchise mode you're playing, and show emotion.

He does have a point.
....ALL games get repetitive.....for me...to the point of just hearing the stadium sounds and announcer after about 20 games.

I'm stunned at the negativity this video has created, the great thing about MLB The Show is that they keep what works and improve on it. Take a look at player models in '09 and compare them to '13. Compare ball physics, lighting, stadiums, atmosphere, and see how much is has improved every single year. This game is light years ahead of any sports game. I think this game nails it in every single facet, and again they don't re-invent the wheel or add modes or take out things they keep what works and that by itself is perfect for me.
