To those trying to defend the whole commentary thing, just no. Its been an on going issue, SCEA knows about it and claimed to have changed it.
This build like mentioned was definatley not the full build, we dont know when commentary is implemented and at what stage. However if this is what we should expect, people have a right to be disappointed.
True alot of a broadcast script will READ the same, but that doesnt mean it has to SOUND the same considering its been used since MLB 07 and again has been a major complaint for the past 2 years.
Obviously people will buy the game, but commentary being stale will be a letdown by many if this is indeed the case period

If the Show was totaly different from last year, people would be complaining about all the bugs from a new build! The Show is golden in my eyes, easily worth the $60. How can you complain about a game that you haven't even played yet? Look what happened with NBA Elite, total crap trying something new. If it isn't broke, don't mess with it!

This video is from CEA right? I thought Ramone wrote somewhere in those CEA interview threads that the build has about a bit more than 50% of planned updates in (w.r.t. presentation). Half full, half empty? Depends.

To me, commentary *will* be stale within a single cycle no matter how much effort the devs put into it, just because certain amount of repetitions cannot be avoided (unless you have unlimited amount of memory to store the audio files, which we presumably don't). Of course it's better to hear something fresh in each iteration, but it will almost never be a deal breaker as long as other parts of the game improve enough to make the whole experience better.

Just, in my defense, I was giving pros and cons, being honest.

i think the Shows commentary is behind many of my favorite sports games and I think it needs a re-read of all these lines, and Campbell taking a powder before he ruins his real life announcing name.


That said, it might be way better than what we heard in this thread. then it might be only different in the way its presented in franchise.
I can imagine online or play now people being upset if it still sounds like all three guys are in different time zones.

I do think calling a grounder to second can't be much different after 199 times, but I agree, it wouldn't hurt to change the darn script.
Its not that good.

is it the words given, or the talent.
I have seen goood announcers, come off poorly in video games, [gus johnson anyone?}.

I think the negativity shines when its the same announcers.
Lots of peeps are just sick of Dave and matt.
Would it matter if it was Al Leiter reading the same line?
I dont know. I think these guys signed a longer contract than A-Rod! WTH! lol

Why would sony sign long term contracts to announcer for a video game?
Unless there's other reasons why we r stuck with them.
