Steve Lyons Replacing Dave Campbell in MLB 13 The Show

[nomo17k]

I'm not so huge on commentators, but I agree with Blzr. I like Lyons' style but he sounds kinda like Karros, and it really is the algorithm that's getting tired after years.

For all you spoiled the Show veterans, in future I'd suggest SCEA to replace the current broadcasting team with Spanish commentators. I think this is a brilliant idea just because (1) they are all new commentators who bring fresh air to the booth (yay, no more Soup! no more Hudler disguised as Karros!); (2) many of us wouldn't understand them so cannot possibly get tired of what specific comments they are saying (no more gamers complaining whoever specific needs to be replaced); and (3) at least better than no commentary at all. With added bonus that the game would appeal even more to some Latino communities (in which baseball is quite big as I understand... you see many Dominican guys are playing online).

I think living here in the bay area we have been spoiled with Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow (Kruk and Kuip) These guys were the announcers in the MVP series and in my opinion bring some fun to the real game of baseball, it would be great if Sony could get these guys. I'm not just a Homer I have had friends from outside the area that watched a game and commented that these guys are good

I'm just happy we got some early news. Great job, Tnixen.

Agreed on all counts (and yes, that includes popping in ASB 05).

Now, here's hoping that we later hear that another certain ASB feature found its way in.

Looks like we are going to be throwing our last Linda Ronstadt fastballs very soon.

Purely speculative on my part,but next years game perhaps being the last on the ps3,before the ps4 (or whatever they're going to call it) arrives,I wouldn't expect big changes in this coming years commentary. Hopefully in the new consoles we can get multiple announcers via the old pc classic from the 90's, Old Time Baseball.

Too bad it isn't Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling and Gary Cohen. They have been one of the few enjoyable things about watching a Mets game.

Interesting to see if Lyons gives Karros any references to 03 when at Wrigley... Love the change.
