He enjoys harassing women at the workplace. Also, his commentary consists of yelling (i.e. pop fouls have the same inflection as WS Game 7 walk-off home runs). Like Joe Buck and Michael Kay, they haven't figured out that people are tuning in for the game and not them.

can you use mlb network presentation in online rated games?

This site is better than picking apart a persons opinion about why they don't want to buy the game. It may seem like a silly reason to some but can we at least not resort to blatantly trolling the guy for his opinion?

Just because Andrus hit 20.9 mph once going from home to 3B doesn't mean he'll hit that same speed in every game and situation. Going between different bases could be different. In general, it's not totally convincing comparing a one-off vs another one-off if you want to draw a larger conclusion. 3. As for throwing speeds...whether it's an INF or OF throw matters. You're comparing an OF with his feet set and momentum coming toward the INF to Tulo going into the hole and throwing as he leaps away from 1B off his back foot. 4. For homers, the wind and atmospheric conditions matter also. The launch angle and exit velocity are not the only parameters governing distance. I'd also suggest that sliders will probably need to be tuned anyhow, so the Statcast parameters might change depending on what settings you have on.

I'm with you and Newton!

At the very least, hit speed (the MPH display we were given last year in swing analysis) is definitely influenced by the power slider. So I'd imagine the other elements of statcast readings can change as well.

I haven't read through all comments but i really wish we didnt nitpick and appreciate how far this series has come. Lets appreciate what we'll have once we take the plastic off of this game. The trailers have looked amazing.

Im making the jump from 2015 so this will be a breath of fresh air.

No reason I can't appreciate be greatness we are about to get our hands on AND be a perfectionist when it comes to the minutiae.

My goal is to highlight the little things that I think could use work. What gets fixed? That is ultimately the Dev Team's call. There are only so many hours in a year, so not everything can be perfect. Doesn't mean we can't highlight things we think could use work.
