MLB 15's Commentary Isn't As Bad As I Thought

[knick9mm]

So this year with the show I've been playing about 90% of my games and in my extra playing time Ive come to realize that the commentary in the show isn't as bad as I used to think it was.

Sure, it isn't the most lively or naturally flowing commentary but I feel like it compliments the game well. It kind of has an old school baseball broadcast feel to it: call the play, give a little insight... No more, no less.

Am I alone on actually liking the commentary?

With all the things that are more direct in line with actual sim baseball I don't even care what they do with it. SO many things need attention before commentary and that includes ambiance in the game sounds and obviously also the big one that has been missing so far in the sound department.

That being said they are doing a pretty decent job with it overall.

I've been defending the commentary. To me, there are other things that need to be addressed first. The commentary isn't horrible, it just hasn't varied much in the past few years. I think it would be a bigger issue if there were more lines that were irritating. Something like an unnecessarily loud Gus Johnson line from an old madden game. The show's commentary is just a bit dull. It fits baseball (baseball is my favorite sport, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't have more dull moments than most of the others)

I've found that as long as I don't X through all the cut scenes, its much better...I have a horrible habit of mashing thorough the game and then you only hear the bare minimum. The longer you let it play out, the better it becomes.

The commentary is stale but it's always been good.

I was just thinking about the commentary a week ago or so. I'm glad you brought this up.
I was one of the people really pushing for new commentary. I'd still like to see changes but it's not as bad as I was thinking when I first got the game.
The fact that it's simple is actually a positive to me now. NBA 2k commentary flows real nice and they do a good job adding stories more like real life but in the long run that's not necessarily good for a video game. I was getting real sick of hearing about the raptors changing their logo and pretty much every other little story every single game.
I've played so much of the show that the fact that it's simpler has made it more tolerable. To be honest I like that it's there but it's not really even noticeable at this point and maybe that's a good thing.

This is my first ever MLB game and to me I really like the commentary

Gotta agree, to me it seems better than last year, not sure if it really is. I'd say keep improving it, adding lines. No overhaul needed. As others have said there are more important things to fix, seeing smth really weird every game nowadays, pop ups, balls hitting the pitcher all the time, too many double plays, outdated animations really a ton of things. None of them a deal breaker but they add up.
