Here's my thing with commentary. People who expect real life commentary are never going to be satisfied with any commentary in a video game. The problem, there is a finite number of lines you can put into a game due to limits on memory and such, however, in real life, you have an infinite number of things you can say. For example, let's say that everyone on you team gets a hit in the first inning, how do you expect the Show to have 9 different variations of "------ hits a single"? You can't because you don't have the room. Also, Bryce Harper getting his 8th homerun of the season is a lot less exciting than a walkoff in the bottom of the ninth, so how can you record different excitement levels for the same line, this takes space and maybe the PS4 will allow more of this, but I still wouldn't get my hopes up. As a human I have millions of words that I can arrange to make a sentence, but in the Show they record sentences and have to fit them into what happens on the game. Until they can just have a list of words and combine them in any combination, it will not change. They can do this now, but then it would sound very robotic......think Steven Hawking!!

I am just happy that the gameplay improves every year and that I can shut off the commentary and just listen to the ballpark sounds.

As a side note, I find it really funny that people complain about the lousy commentary and yet when word came that RTTS was dropping some commentary for a better "on the filed experience" the same people were like...."Oh noes, what about the commentary????"

Player models are exactly the same. In fact, for fun I played MLB 10 the show last night and realized that the player models have barely changed in 3 years. I bet you couldnt tell which year I was playing if I posted a video. But that's neither here or there. The game is great but the commentary is weak. There is no need to defend it...its just plain and boring. Im still buying it though

Its the little things that were changed and they are noticed by a lot of people. But at a broad look I can see where people are coming from. If you look more closely as you are suggesting its easy to see improvements, especially on such a short development cycle.
