my problem with changing annouce teams, at least my opinion, is that it sets you back in terms of advancing on to more dynamic commentary. Unless you are wanting someone new to basically read Matt V's script, then you have re-write and record new lines for the new commentary crew. Which means that you'll most likely lose a number of lines and we'll have to go through another set of years before advancing onto a more prolific commentary.

For me, I don't mind Matt V, Dave and Rex, though Rex is gone. They get the job done and instead of fresh voices, I'm ready for the next step in advancing what is already there and make the commentary my dynamic. Ex: NBA 2k11

I absolutely love it. I can picture your boss saying that and I have no idea who he is or what he looks like. Thanks for the laugh CB.

That's excellent.

And yeah, sorry, was on the subject of where to purchase and we all got carried away with Gamestop and their questionable practices.

Back to your regularly scheduled thread

For me, I LOVE buying used as I have 7 days to return it for a full refund.

Game companies/Publishers have no problem releasing trash games a lot and when buying new I'm stuck with it and they got my hard earned money for a crap game.
If the publishers want to guarantee all thier games will be quality and not be turds in a box then ok...That won't happen anytime soon.

I do however totally agree about their labor policies and I've voiced that with more than a few district managers mainly due to having some friends that work there.......
Actually publishers are doing something about it, such as EA's online pass for features that are "unlocked" with a new copy purchase.

And then, we the consumer, hate EA for implementing such a thing when it's just to combat Gamestop's used sales...

That's hilarious. Good idea to take the week off, though.

Does anybody know if they are going to sell a bundle of the game w/controller? If so that would be incredible.
 
# 151 rodperezto @ 12/23/10 03:57 AM
About commentary, they can bring anybody you want, they can have announcers for each team and that would be sweet BUT if the commentary is not dynamic (like it is in many other sports games), it will feel stale and boring. You never hear them interact, or when they do, it feels completely staged.
That has always been my one and only gripe with the Show. I don't blame the commentators; I blame the non-dynamic commentary.

My personal feeling is the game needs a bit of a refresher in the commentary department.


There's nothing wrong with Buck....He'd add excitement. But there are certainly some others that are just as good if not better. Too much Matty V for too long....Thats what killed the High Heat series, too many seasons with that dull San Francisco announcer, what was his name?...McDonald or something?
I'm not too crazy about Joe buck myself, but I do agree that this game needs new commentators. Matt V is starting to get stale. I also agree that commentating needs to be more dynamic. They need to interact with one another. I've been hoping they get an entire new staff for commentating. They added Eric which is a good start.

its sounds like we have Joe Buck and Tim McCarver for color commentaor this time around.......this is awesome!!
 
# 154 nike31 @ 12/27/10 11:57 AM
but i did hear Josh Lewin, who used to announced play by play for the Rangers....it'll be nice to hear announcers for different teams but for the our Houston Astros we have Bill Brown and JIm Deshaies ...i wish they can have Larry Dierker back, the best Astros ever had(commentator and manager)

Now I know this wasn't SCEA's intent, but how many people are they going to fool? This is hilarious!

I don't understand it either. Because if people played '10' they would know that announcer snippets like these are used in the game menus all the time....confusing but entertaining

Where do I have to pre order to get the MLB tv offer? Where is the best place to pre order from? I never usually pre order since I have a gamestop 2 blocks away.

CB, if I preorder from GS I probably have to wait till the games released to get the mlbtv offer?

yes. Typically companies will make you wait until the game is released before giving you the pre-order bonus, especially one such as this.

I also think that Amazon.com is doing the same deal.
