Just stay in the same camera from start to finish...kind of like real-time view. I LOVE the additional catcher setups. Gosh, it adds so much realism. HR and Plesac actually sounds really good; I do feel there still is a bit much in dead air but I'll guess more lines next year will help with that. I do wish Matty was a bit more personable and talking with the commentators...I'd like to hear more dialog versus just Q:A or single comment types. The Dodgers were 93-27 which equates out to 127 wins. The OS hybrid rosters can mitigate that pretty well but still...yikes!

Besides Matty V being boring and sounding exactly the same as in 16,15,14,13,12 and so on the "dead air" is real issue as well. To many times it is dead silent when the commentary should be talking about something. NBA2k and even MLB 2K did this so well! Both those game have almost constant chatter back and forth from the booth!

What I would love to know is it what version of MLB The Show will the commentary reach the level of NBA 2K or even Madden for that matter?

I'll give you another bad example!

At the start of the game in today's stream why didn't Matty V introduce himself and the other two commentators at the start of the broadcast? This is how it is always done on real baseball broadcasts!

Matty V should have said something like this

"Good evening everyone I am Matt Vasgersian along with my partners Harold Reynolds and Dan plesac"

I have a Franchise/gameplay prediction. I think we are now going to be able to see career stats player v player. Last stream Ramone said do not press left or right on the D-Pad and this stream we got the commentary with history vs this pitcher etc. I think when you press left or right on the D-Pad you are going to get some of these historical stats. Maybe Darren O'Day is a great pitcher but when you look at the historic stats in game you realize you shouldn't bring him in vs Bautista because of the lifetime stats. Just a prediction and might not actually be true but with these pieces of info from the last two streams I could (hope to) see this coming!!

Same here! I think doing this would be beneficial and add more realism.

Btw I really enjoyed HR on the stream. He sounds the best IMO.

Sorry, couldn't help it.

So I have a question regarding the presentation packages. What happens when I have custom intro music for teams and I select the MLB Network Presentation will I still get the MLB Network music? or will it be my custom music?

A few thoughts. Some repeats, but worth throwing out there. First, the game looks great. This team just continues to fix, tinker, and add updates and it is obvious they listen to us. Can't wait to play this year's game, which is saying something considering some years are more exciting than others. Those of you overly concerned with the commentary or jerseys...are you seeing the forest through the trees?

Only a few minor personal preference things. First, because fouls happen so frequently (I actually enjoy this aspect, its more realistic), the foul ball animations should be added to. I see the quick-grab-of-bat-when-flipped-up animation A TON. Often, I see the batter do it 2, 3 times in a row. Its a great animation, but I see it a lot.

Next, we really need more cameras to show off these amazing stadiums and the new ball flight physics. I noticed the camera used when shifting defense is actually not terrible for those of us who might want to see the entire field while playing. I'd like a nice isometric slightly up view too. That's also retro...think Earl Weaver BB or that old Atari one. The camera I'd pay $200 bucks for would be one that shows the entire field, ball flight, and let's me watch all the players in real time. No cut scenes, let me watch all those amazing animations taking place like a real game from the fan's perspective.
