Poor Singleton

There are entire half innings when he doesn't even say a word. Then when he finally does, it's almost a bit jarring because I'd gotten so accustomed to not hearing him. I really wish we could still mute individual commentators like we could in the old days. I like Singleton, but he doesn't have nearly enough lines, and the ones he does have are awfully repetitive...

Re: Poor Singleton

Commentary is horrible this year. I’ve only played a couple games but it seems like last year was better. They barely say anything about star players and a lot of dead time. Is it better in quick play than Franchise I wonder?

Don't get me wrong, War and Peace is great and everthing but it doesn't mesh with the fast-pace MLB is trying to achieve. Although one wonders if War and Peace would have been as highly acclaimed as it was if it had been published under its original name, ''Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?''.

One line of Singleton dialogue is equal to three lines of dialogue from DeRo and Plesac. But between Singleton DeRo and Plesac, give me Singleton. Just give me a condensed Singleton in MLBTS25, and a new SDS script writer as well.
A Megadeth AND Seinfeld reference...that gotta be a first.

Re: Poor Singleton

Re: Poor Singleton

They need to start saying stats.
Every time Boog breaks out one of his canned lines, Javy Baez’s tattoo for example, I just roll my eyes and say “dude just say the guy’s batting average, that would be miles better than this.”

Re: Poor Singleton

I listen every now and then but commentary feels like it's taken a step back this year. Barely any stats and every game has the same exact lines about the stadium or players. Not to mention the lack of names compared to previous games.

Also learned recently when calling up Marcelo Mayer, they pronounce his name wrong. It should be "My-er" and in game, it's pronounced like the word mayor.

Re: Poor Singleton

I hate how he's quiet when nothing is going on, and then right before something happens he'll start some random long winded story that I'm hearing for the millionth time and whatever is happening on the field gets completely ignored.

Exactly this. It's really quite jarring and sounds tacked on...and when you factor in the repetitiveness, I really wish we could just mute him, which is unfortunate because I do like him in general.
