One thing I like about the show is you can turn gm firing off which allows you to stay with your same team. My biggest problem with FIFA - and the reason I didn't buy it this year - you can't turn off firing and as the goals progress you eventually are almost guaranteed to get fired and all your hard work to build the franchise is gone.
I don't understand why people clamor for the option to change prices on concessions and tickets... No matter what you set the prices at, and no matter what effect on "fan interest" it had, it never actually made a difference... The same amount of fans would show up and make the same amount of noise for every positive play of every game.

Now... If it were something where it effected budget, or if your "fan interest" declined, you wouldn't have anybody at the ballpark and you could actually see consequences such as reduced attendance when you played, or get fired or have to relocate... that would be different. Otherwise, it's just a number next to a stock photo that has no outcome on anything else that you do.

Just my 2 pennies.

I'd like Vasgersian changed. Not because he's bad but because since he's been so long with this series that he feels robotic at this point. There's so many basic lines that he repeats that my brain only processes it as a computer programming spitting out repeated audio. And I know that's what it truly IS but that shouldn't be what it feels like when playing this game. His voice just feels stale to me and a new commentator would feel fresh and different even if he's saying the exact same lines. Again I love Matty V but I feel his time in this game is past its expiration date. Just my two cents, I wanted to mention it because I'm sure others may feel the same.

Who's your favorite broadcaster IRL? Do you want him changed? I think it is a matter of adding more lines and context. Personally, I think the commentators talk to much. Even IRL they allow the game to breathe at times.

My favorite broadcaster in real life doesn't repeat the same lines over and over like the commentators in the video game do. Even if he says the same words it's different every time because it's real life and not a recording. In the game it's the same audio clips repeated over and over. It's not the same comparison.

So then it would be the same with a new broadcaster even worse while they had to build up so many lines over the years. Some lines annoy me for sure because it can be repetitive but especially in baseball where there are so many games it's pretty unavoidable

It's the same with all sports video games, there's only so many lines that can be recorded so once you play the game enough your gonna be hearing the same lines repeated. I find the wishing of better commentary to be pretty redundant at this point

How many years has Vasgersian been in the show? A decade or close to it? Of course every game commentator gets repetitive but a couple of years of the same commentator is nowhere near as tough to listen to as a decades worth.

Look I understand this isn't everyone's opinion and I wouldn't hate if Vasgersian stayed either but I'm giving my reasons for wanting a fresh voice hopefully sooner than later.

It's not the hearing of the same lines over and over again that bothers me about Vasgersian....it's the hearing of the same lines over and over again for almost a decade that bothers me.

Big difference between the two and I think a reasonable issue to bring up.

Create-A-Player revamp?

I hope there's a TON of personalization available.

Could be Justin Kutcher

Has to be Harold Reynolds. The Easter egg for safeco field in 16 was Harold reynolds joining the booth and talking. So I say that was a tease for 17.

Do NOT get your hopes up too high. This series is notorious for embellishing in there feature lists. Revamp could be as little as new hairstyles facial reactions and the new brands.
Hopefully not but be cautious to avoid being letdown

Can't wait for the dev streams and blogs that will be coming soon. There's quite a few things I'm excited for but if I had to pick just one it would be the Franchise news on the 7th and 9th of March.
 
# 139 ShowTyme15 @ 01/26/17 12:46 AM
Also looking forward to player model improvements as well.
 
# 140 kubankaos @ 01/26/17 02:01 AM
Only thing I'm excited for is Feb 9th about the physics / gameplay. Hopefully they show tons of examples and hit up batting practice.

If that happens to be changed enough, I "might" purchase this year instead of doing a yearly rental playing for couple of weeks.
