If you were expecting to hear all or even 15% of new commentary (however good or bad you think it is) in a total of 20 innings worth of footage well............................ I got nothing.

It's like saying "hey they promised us 1,000 new animations and I have only seen 3 of them so it's barley improved. They half####### the new animations this year IMO.

Now look at you trying to bring common sense to the forums....
Seriously guys, 1.. we've only seen a small amount of gameplay and 2 saying they "half a$$ed" etc.. is uncalled for, period.
Some of you just don't get it as far as the time and effort these guys put into their games.

Yeah I feel bad that Ramone has to deal with this every year. Guys they DID add new commentary but you might not hear all of it because they have it for many specific situations you might not even come across until like November (like I have a few times last year) and others we just heard it in the video but you guys still want more?

Unreal. Looks so great. Those stat overlays look amazing, really brings the game to life. I don't know how anyone can say anything negative about commentary. Of course there is going to be many of the same lines. You can't throw out the old commentary, you just add to it. Imagine if they removed all old commentary and added new ones, in 2 weeks people would be saying, the commentary is stale. How much can you really ask for, there is a fixed amount of space to add comments.
I am so pumped for this game, and this year the Marlins should finally be rated high

I'm sure there's plenty that can attest to this, but I remember playing the game even after the World Series had ended and I was still seeing things that I hadn't seen from March until that point.

Hold off on the anxiety a bit, give the game a chance, and then let these guys know what you think. They always listen.

p.s. I can't believe how fluid the player models and motions are and how many stances were revamped/tweaked. It's very noticeable as compared to last year.

Do all right handed batters do that pull animation down the line?

Like Ramone said, we've only seen a few innings of 3 games, come on now!
And Ive heard a lot of stuff I ve never heard in previous versions.
Cant wait to hear more...

I'm not a Cards fan, but, if I remember correctly, I've never seen Pujols finish his swing with 2 hands, Trumbo on the other hand, almost always finishes with 2 hands, so that is a welcomed addition (was a bit tiring to see him hinish with one hand in 11, but then, he WAS a rookie, so thats obviously that.), also, I hope Kendry Morales has a 2 hand follow through. They never gave it to him in the couple years he played.

But yeah, I loved the gameplay, and the new presentation overlays are AMAZING! They are unbelievably cool, makes me think I'm watching a real MLB game And I'm glad they're finally starting to fix more and more pitching motions. Those were the biggest problem I've had with The Show, probably because I'm a pitcher
