MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream - Presentation & Commentary

[dalger21]

Harold Reynolds sounds great. I feared he might have sounded like he was reading from a script but alas, his commentary was pretty nice. The mini-story he mentioned about Bryce Harper and his outfield defense actually made me laugh. For me, I am much more interested in how they will sound in RttS. Looking forward to the RttS stream in a couple of weeks. I've got a couple of questions for it.

Overall commentary is as bad as always.
Matt V reading lines of a script no real life announcer would ever say, reynolds is an improvement tho. Apart from him it's however
badly made. Really pretty much what they are saying sucks, how they (apart from Reynolds) are saying does, and when they are saying it as well lol.
Think it needs to redone from the scratch. I like Matt in real life so he can do it, just needs a fresh start.

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"

The thing is though, real MLB broadcasts actually have a fair bit of dead air, but of course it varies from booth to booth. For example, the Cubs guys (Len and JD) don't talk constantly, but they let the game breathe a bit, if you will.

For that one, it isn't really the call itself, but the lack of input from either HR or Plesac.

Matt made the call, then dead air. Then we get Showtrack also done by Matt, (which would be the perfect time for HR or Plesac to interject and, IMO, should almost always be done by one of them over Matt) and then more silence before the next AB. Not a single word from our color guys (even a brief exclamation would add tons).

It just highlights the feel of these guys not reading together, which is at the root of most of the commentary complaints for this game.

I'd actually like to occasionally see one of the guys chime in a pitch or two into the next AB, flashing back to the home run and breaking down things like hand placement, bat speed, etc. That one's more wishlist than gripe though.

I think the issue in game is where there is dead air, more than the fact that there is dead air.

I also think it's more an issue of the balance between the color guys and Matt. I actually think Matt talks too much at times where I'd rather here a different voice...as I said above, I think Showtrack would be best served by a color guy chiming in. In fact, some of the spots where dead air would make more sense in-game are filled with Matt filling in more.

Some of that is probably just limitations due to recorded lines, etc (Matt's been a constant for over a decade, while the color guys have seen more changes recently), but I think it adds to the Matty fatigue some people have.

I will take a stab at this. While I have no source and am guessing I have a feeling the answer is no.

I am also a SOTS junkie and will set up every team, every player, cheers, yells, intro music, win, loss, playoff win, playoff loss, league title, world series, pitcher entrances, warm up music, between innings. The whole Monty.

I am quite certain it will not override your custom SOTS settings. So if you see the MLB package for an upcoming game on your schedule and let’s say it is a road game at the Yankees, you could simply go to the Yankee stadium SOTS screen and toggle intro and between inning music to default so you get the MLB music experience you want. It take less than a minute to toggle off your SOTS stuff.

So at least you can do that if you really want to.

The game does look better visually, enough for a purchase for me right now!

Oh man, I'd love to have Ernesto Jerez in this game
