Plesac? Ugh I wish it was Smoltzy, cool nonetheless.

Lookin' good! Love all the overlays & graphics, and Statcast/Showtrack might be enough to get me off fast play this year. I don't pay too much attention to commentary, but hopefully some fresh voices and content will enhance the whole package.

So it looks like I have some preparations to make...

***Pre-March 28th To Do List***

Upgrade to PS4 Pro (GameStop quoting $125 credit with trade in)
Upgrade from 1080p to 4k TV

So the old other 2 guys are still there for non MLB Network presentation games?

Yes... And updated after every achievement during the course of the franchise... It would be so awesome if they could add some lines of commentary to talk about dynamic stuff that happens during the course of a franchise... For example, a team getting progressively better, a prospect establishing himself, a player winning multiple batting titles, etc... Just stuff scripted into the game that can reveal itself later on in a player's franchise mode experience. It would make a world of difference.

No, I don't think so.

I just hope they have the ebb and flow down like they do on Madden and NBA 2k. Looking forward to hearing more about it on Thursday.

Can't wait for the live stream on the new commentary. Just that small sample was great.

THis looks great. I hope they do in season commentary updates. Madden done it this year nearly on a weekly basis , so it can be done. Its just lazyness if its not done so lets hope this commentary stays fresh

If you're asking these announcers to come in week after week to record new lines of dialogue, then I am assuming that would require an entirely different level of commitment on their part. "Laziness" has nothing to do with it.

I wouldnt count on it, and to call it lazyness is a little ridiculous. i don't know these guys schedules but most MLB broadcasters are pretty busy with so many games to do. If i were them I wouldn't want to go record lines on my off days.

Football has so much off time for broadcasters it's not a reasonable comparison.

WOW!! This whole time we just need the ps3 to move out of the picture and the Show steps it up several notches. Commentary is going to breath so much new life into the game. Now all they need to do, is get one of the classic drunk announcers like Mike Shannon, or the Major League (movie) version of Bob Uecker and then we could officially have everything.

Looks like this is the year I finally unmute the color commentators

Loving everything about the MLBN presentation. It's going to be a huge upgrade all around.

too expensive for me, alone hdr monitor cost 1300 cdn + 350 ps4 pro. maybe when my ps4 breaks down or in a couple years. must be amazing in hdr. i would buy a 1080p hdr monitor. 4k can you only fully see more than 55". but i preorder mvp edition on psn. can wait for the game, next couple weeks will be good( franshise and rtts streams)

# 80 huskerfan4life @ 02/27/17 05:22 PM

wow all this sounds awesome, the question I have is for those of us that will be carrying over franchises from 16 will we get all the overlays & presentations with 17 even though I am still in the 16 season
