MLB The Show 16 Twitch Stream - Presentation & Much More (Archive Available)

seemed like they skipped over the Crowd Emotion system? Did anyone hear anything about that? (improvements, additions, etc)

I enjoyed this stream the most so far. I'm fascinated by what it takes to put together a good presentation. Ive always thought Matt V was great in this game. I'm glad he's not going anywhere. I understand people's frustration with hearing the same lines again and again, but you get that in every sports game. Looks like the new guys really have a nice plan in motion going forward.

Plus I sort of feel like I'm on the same wavelength on their ideas. I don't post much but I know I asked for multiple score bugs and overlays in a wish list thread a couple years ago. I thought a different look for midweek games and national weekend broadcasts would add something. Very cool.

Somehow, I forgot that was ever mentioned. That could be a big improvement. I'd like to see it touched on in a future video.

Shame that the scorebug no longer shows the pitch speed when the pitch callout is set to off. Was great when they added that in a few years back, but I forget which year exactly it was lost. With the new presentation and scorebugs it really stands out now that the pitch speed doesn't show up on the score bug if the pitch callout setting is set to off. Means you can never get clean broadcast look and see the pitch speeds. Most broadcasts have that in their scorebug.

It seems like this year (or last years cycle) would have been the perfect time to replace Matt and the team. I know he has ties to San Diego and obviously has had a connection with someone at SCEA for along time. However with all the work and good ideas put in this year, this was the year to replace him. He's good but just too old for this game its been what 11 years I heard?
There is all this new content but the same guy it still feels stale from hearing the stream. It sounds like a great step forward just with the wrong guy IMO
could be worse though

That is a bit of a drag, I really like having that clean broadcast look but love having the pitch speeds shown too. I even hate how in real life the broadcasts are getting more and more crowded with graphics every season. A couple of seasons ago NESN introduced a strike zone/pitch tracker graphic thats on screen at ALL TIMES and frigging hate it.

I was feeling the same way as you are for the last couple of years, Matty V and the rest were feeling just so flat and stale and I was looking for a change. But I tell you, that stream today has changed my feelings a bit. With this new thread commentary system in place, if they can continue to make his delivery feel more and more organic like how its sounding in today's stream and adding to it, I'm all for keeping him around. Especially if it saves development time so they can focus on other areas of the game next year.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but go to 24:37 and watch the chalk line as Tulowitzki kicks the dirt. That's awesome!
