We have heard before in past years that commentary has been improved only for it to be the same dull experience. As soon as i heard matt v was still in the game i lost hope for 16 in that department.

I agree. I tend to be somewhere in between the staunch, unblinking supporters and the venomous critics of the devs on this game. I try to be objective. The visuals look pretty much the same to me right now as before (including animations), which is ok because it's WIP. But at the same time, you can tell they've sunk a ton of effort into this edition. There are actually more new bits and pieces than I was expecting and some of it is pretty subtle (where the catcher sets up to receive, the custom bullpen cameras, etc...etc...), but they definitely deserve credit for the effort and for being responsive on things (SOTS, retractable roofs etc..) and for people to withhold total judgment until it's done.

I would say I'm still teetering on account of stat tracking, which is a big deal for me. Once we get more info there, I'll know whether '16 is going to be an A and an 'auto-purchase' or a C+ and a 'might purchase' for me personally.

Ya, Josh Donaldson looked really chunky.

I was gonna mention that, they nailed his stance, I just want his gut normal. I'm going to be the Cubs in a franchise and little things like that bother me. I'm gonna be annoyed every time he comes to the plate. Hoping I can change his shape.

Anyone else notice that they had WAR on the list of stats during the roster update section that they were going through?

The problem is the in game commentary is dreadful. It does not come off like what your hearing when watching a real life broadcast. I can only compare from what i have heard between the two when recorded for video game commentary and its not even close. Gary's voice just has more life to it.

I think Adidas & NB will make in. I never envisioned Oakley and Evoshield making it in. A year at time. They can't give us everything at one time. LOL....
