All of the games I mentioned have some lines that are exactly the same. Sure, The Show may have more repeat lines. Regardless, it all gets old pretty fast. I'd much rather have them focus on other aspects of the game.

I'm hoping that they continue to add refinements and build the game modes to the next levels.

A "big risk" that needs to be taken is re-doing player models, if not completely, then adding a lot more details and variety to them as they are now.

That'll help the game "move forward."

So because it gets old fast it shouldn't improve at all is what you're saying?

No, I'm saying more important things should take priority. I, personally, don't think commentary should take priority over something like player models or improvements to Franchise or RTTS.

I would love for The Show's commentary to improve, but a lot of people seem to make it a huge deal which I disagree with.

Great review!

I agree on all the pros and cons.

Player models are the one thing that still seriously lacks in The Show. Not sure that re-doing them could break any other parts of the game though. It might not even be risky other than using time and resources for that instead of improving something else.

I don't see anybody saying its the most important but unless you're new to the show series you know that it can use some improvement its been the same for a long time

Having been an XBox owner in the past, this is my first real taste of The Show, but I must say I think it's pretty fantastic. I don't like any of the analog control schemes, but with the zone hitting and the pitching meter I love it. I also love the practice modes, they really give you a chance to get in the lab and hone your skills.

I honestly find the commentary to be quite good, but I've only played about 3 full games since getting my grubby little mits on it.
