MLB Network Presentation Confirmed For MLB The Show 17

I'm just saying, based on what they hinted (they said huge changes to commentary, well at least that was my interpretation of the paper stack image they showed), it made sense to me the Matty V will be gone and they will completely redo all the lines. Now it looks like they will bring back all his lines from past years and just edit in him mentioning whoever the other names are with him on commentary.

I think you guys wanting Vasgersian gone are nuts. He's one of the best in the business.

On TV? Probably. In video game form, he is mundane! His introductions are skip worthy, and his play by play is bad too. Its been like this for a long time.

Besides, he has been on commentary for how long already? What is wrong with fresh voices at this point?

I can see why they want someone new honestly, but I've heard Matty V on TV and he's great to listen to. He gets more excited in real life though which I wish he would in the game. Back in 06 and 07 when fielding was easier and more predictable I'd have guys in the outfield dive for the last out so I'd hear him get excited about something.

If they'd just replace some of his older lines that have been in the game for a few years here and there I don't think people would have as much of a problem. It would take years to replace the amount of lines that Matty V has in the game already. I personally wouldn't wanna lose that depth.

I like Matty V in real life, but over time I've grown to dislike him in the game.

My scorching take is that I think 95% of these people saying they want Matt Vasgersian replaced would complain bitterly about any new pbp guy not having varied enough lines. Then 2-3 years from now they'd be saying the same stuff about it being stale and needing a new pbp guy.

This is the nature of video game commentary.

It is fine you feel that way but I'm willing to bet that you are one of those people who tried to denounce how outdated the player models were, and is now amazed how bad they were compared to the new models showed. So until SCEA themselves say otherwise, you will think The Show has the best commentary is the sports gaming genre.

Plus the new dynamic commentary in NBA 2K games is a prime example to nullify your last point! There is always room for improvement, especially when we had one guy on commentary for a huge number of years.

I agree with a lot of you here in real life Matty V is very good however in MLB The Show honestly he is so boring to listen to!!

Matty V with 2K style commentary would be awesome I bet. I keep saying this but NBA 2K commentary and MLB 2K commentary sound like a real life broadcasts where as MLB the show up until now has always sounded more like a video game Broadcast the difference is night and day in my opinion.

Hopefully MLB The Show 17 finally changes all that.
