MLB 12 The Show Video - Rangers vs. Angels

[Perfect Zero]

What do you people want with commentary? Even if they added a thousand new lines, they would still say the same things over and over again. There is a finite amount of things they can say in the game; this isn't real life.

Not buying a game because there was no new commentary? Give me a break...

I am pretty sure sound guys are tweaking this stuff till the last moment. Sound is not as easy as some people think it is. I know other guys have better commentary but they have started new and built up recently where as this game has been hanging on.

Doesn't bother me but I can see why some are concerned.

No, I also turn off the commentators. No matter what sports game I play they always get repetitive and I like to feel like I'm on the field.

I may decide just to keep and play '11. SCEA has done a super job and there is just not that much that can be improved upon in the game play department, imo of course. I watched the video and while it is great I didn't see that much of a difference from it and what I have in "11. An early build? Most likely but.......... Will wait and see, it's still early, but right now I'm not sure if I would spend the money on the upgrades I've seen so far.

I'm in the same boat, I love SCEA and what they do, but this one seems a little too much like the year before. We already got word franchise was going to be relatively the same, I have yet to see any additional stat overlays, and the commentary is pretty much the same. Unfortunately, this might be a pass for me unless I see some more enhancements. I know we have that new Diamond game, but I'm a straight up franchise player and would love to start doing a MOM whenever they give that an overhaul, been a couple years long overdo.

Thats a pretty good sales pitch you got there.

Same here. I just don't want to hear most sports commentators. I would listen to John Madden when he was on it, but now that he is gone I can't stand to hear Chris Collinsworth. Same with The Show. I play with them on for a while, but now I usually play some games and listen to music or a podcast. Still a great game.

Yeah we're mostly hearing the same things from that video because they can't add new lines to every single play possible in the game.. it's baseball guys remember the saying anything happens in baseball? They can't update their commentary to every single thing. For those of you still on the fence because of the commentary then wait for a video around February or something, it might change your view.. it might not.
