Why wouldn't you?
If the situation called for it, wouldn't you want the game to sound as authentic as possible?

Most people who are complaining about the commentary are the people who only play a handful of games with the Show. They can't even scratch the surface in this game, they are just interested in the shiny things.

We, who are playing 300+ games every year, we know exactly what to expect from this game, and we are satisfied with it, because we know how big a step forward this game will be.

Which I don't understand. They used to highlight a player in the starting lineup and talk about him. That is good but they then took it out and now you have such a dead period when announcing the starting lineups.

But Matty V is over the top and exciting in real life. I don't know why that doesn't translate into the games.

Exclude me from that list. I played over two seasons. Knowing what this game offers gameplay wise, it's just tough to listen to the commentary. Maybe it's just me, but the commentary makes me listen to music rather than the actual game.

This is a very horrible post.

I'll have to wait until I have the game and play Postseason games myself and get into different situations and see what happens....but based on this short video, I don't see any difference in "Postseason Mode" from any other game (exhibition or franchise).

Aside from the pre-game festivities and some different cut scenes and stat presentations.....the actual baseball game itself plays the same. I know it's beating a dead horse, but I was expecting more enthusiastic commentary.....and they kept saying that "Postseason Mode" was going to capture the intensity of a real Playoff game....

I wasn't feeling any extra intensity from that video. If you took the NLDS logos off the field and didn't show me the pre-game intro, you wouldn't even know it was a Playoff game or not.

Still the best baseball game EVER, but Postseason Mode was way too hyped if all that is different is the brief pre-game cut scenes.

I have an idea. Everyone who is complaining about commentary. Hop on craigslist and make an ad asking to pay 2 people to sit in your living room (or where ever you play your game) and do live commentary while you play. Plenty of people need a job right now. Someone will probably reply.
