They make it sound like it was a routine play. Every clip ive seen the commentators seem to have the same "tone" I'm not saying squeal like little girls but they dont even sound the least bit excited to me. Part of the aspect of commentating is getting the viewers excited about whats happening during the play. If the commentators dont sound as excited then it will take away from the excitement of actually playing that game.

I've been a lurker on here for a long time and I've been trying to post more. Then I can scream at you guys instead of the computer screen.

LOL, yeah the 13 pinstripes is kind of the norm for some, but that's cool. I lurk around myself until a game is about to come out then I'm all in.

The Devs stated in their Q&A, that the sound was neither fully optimized nor all the audio events included in this Beta release.

I'll give them benefit of doubt until I have retail version in my hands or a Demo from a better more optimized build.

*The audio is much better on the Rays/Phillies video Steve just posted. All these videos look/run/sound much better once I downloaded them.

The new video is a perfect example of exactly what im talking about.. at the very end of the clip rollins is rounding third and the ball is being thrown in. I mean this is a very close play and is very exciting to watch. All i hear from the commentary is "... there's the throw and he makes it all the way from first..." I mean the commentary is great they are very fluid but i just don't hear the enthusiasm. The crowd is cheering which is awesome. The celebration by rollins at the end is very realistic. However other than the fans cheering where is the excitment? You don't see the umpire waving his arms "SAFE".

Dude it was the first inning, Plus as many have posted the audio is not fully implemented in and Would you rather have a discrepency or a Home run in May by Ryan Howard in the second inning to make it 1-0 sound and feel/look exactly Like Ryan Howard hitting a Walk-Off in september against the division rival Mets? Granted they do get very excited dont get me wrong but check this out

	The thing is this: it's being played at an NL park, and the game doesn't seem to recognize the concept of a neutral field. If the Orioles, for instance, turned a triple play at Yankee Stadium, would Yankee fans cheer? In this case, the fans were behaving as "NL fans" instead of a neutral fan base and were stonily silent at the visiting team for turning a TP.

Never thought of that makes perfect sense kind of
