Would like to see one or 2 sideline reporters.

Didn't even think of that!

"New Head Rig" appears (after a little research) to be related to the modeling of a head/face and how it animates/moves. So facial expressions, mouth and eye movements, smiles, shouts, etc. Could also (hopefully) deal with neck/head relationship, which has needed work in the Show.

Here's a vid I found for anyone interested:

Also hopefully means there will be even more of a difference between players with great arms vs weak arms. And maybe improving the throwing urgency as well. O yeah I am pumped!!!

Remember they introduced a new IK engine last year. I'm sure they'll push it to another level this year.

I hope not. I think 5 man booth would be a mess.

I was thinking possibly Ernie Johnson? Baseball isn't the first thing that comes to mind with him, but he did do Play by Play for the ALDS I believe?

The guys at SDS have to be entertained by us as we try to crack the codes that they've set in place.

Probably Justin Kutcher then, who works with Joe Davis on Fox Saturday Baseball?

Could it be TBS or Fox networks instead of MLB?

It has not been mentioned yet but I hope during the Franchise reveal and deep dive, the team confirms improvements to ONLINE FRANCHISE!!

It has been the same since day 1

Could the new commentators be for Retro Mode only? Maybe some guys from the past.

I'm curious if they did anything with Conquest. It was great when you first start but once you beat it there was no reason to touch it again.

I doubt it... Would be major uproar if they brought in new guys just for Retro mode.

It's gotta be MLB Network. SDS already has the rights to their names and can see their logo/advertisements in games. Hopefully they're expanding it to a massive presentation overhaul. I'd be SOOOO excited if this is true
