And the game was being played in busch stadium I believe. This game looks and sounds really good.

I believe the Ortiz home run was at Yankee stadium and you know the red sox are getting no cheers there. I don't think people are really looking at all of the details of these videos. If they did these complaints would go away.

Just wanted to say that none of my posts are meant to be complaining. I'm not. These are just observations and wanted to see if anyone else noticed or cared. I'm very excited for this year's game since I haven't played decent video game baseball since MVP 05.

I didn't mean complaining in a negative sort of way. I'll change that word to observation or comments. My bad. If you want to hear some good crowd noise, check out the video Steve just posted with the Devil Rays and Phillies. Check out the double play early in the vid and tell me the crowd isn't on point and the last run scored near the end of the video. The game is in Philly and the crowd noise is damn near perfect for each situation.

I will definitely do that when I get home. The vids have been fantastic and I'm glad 2k is actually releasing them before the game comes out this year. I'm not playing semantics with you about the complaining thing, but I like to think that the points I'm making are different than the "the [insert player] photo has the wrong hat", "the grass is a darker green at Miller Park", "there are 13 pinstripes on a Yankee's away uniform not 12!" kind of posts because I'm really becoming irritated with those.

I've been a lurker on here for a long time and I've been trying to post more. Then I can scream at you guys instead of the computer screen.

They make it sound like it was a routine play. Every clip ive seen the commentators seem to have the same "tone" I'm not saying squeal like little girls but they dont even sound the least bit excited to me. Part of the aspect of commentating is getting the viewers excited about whats happening during the play. If the commentators dont sound as excited then it will take away from the excitement of actually playing that game.

LOL, yeah the 13 pinstripes is kind of the norm for some, but that's cool. I lurk around myself until a game is about to come out then I'm all in.

The Devs stated in their Q&A, that the sound was neither fully optimized nor all the audio events included in this Beta release.

I'll give them benefit of doubt until I have retail version in my hands or a Demo from a better more optimized build.

*The audio is much better on the Rays/Phillies video Steve just posted. All these videos look/run/sound much better once I downloaded them.

The new video is a perfect example of exactly what im talking about.. at the very end of the clip rollins is rounding third and the ball is being thrown in. I mean this is a very close play and is very exciting to watch. All i hear from the commentary is "... there's the throw and he makes it all the way from first..." I mean the commentary is great they are very fluid but i just don't hear the enthusiasm. The crowd is cheering which is awesome. The celebration by rollins at the end is very realistic. However other than the fans cheering where is the excitment? You don't see the umpire waving his arms "SAFE".
