To be clear, is this PS4 or PS4 pro footage?

I enjoy people that discuss baseball, not scream to ensure that the audience is awake. It's baseball, not wrestling. Again, If I can disable his audio, I'll purchase the game second hand. Just giving my two cents. I'm done discussing it.

Unless they have removed the option, you can disable his commentary.

Ramone confirmed Lyons and Karros are out of the game via Twitter, btw.

It's great that they allow you to disable individual voice(s). I only wish they would also tag any line where Vasgersian addresses someone you've muted and automatically mute those as well. Would help with immersion when you're playing with a supposedly solo booth.

I like Harold Reynolds and think he will bring a lot to keep the audio fresh. He knows baseball, he played baseball, and It's Harold Reynolds we are talking about not Steve Phillips, after all.

Hmm.

Ok guys we get it some like HR and some don't. Please keep this on topic. Stop the back and forth about HR and his past issues.

Thanks

Lets see if we can't steer this thing back on the tracks here.

I'm really looking forward to the Stream tomorrow to hear more and see more of the new commentary and presentation. Also curious to see what the other themes entail.

Looks awesome. I hope there is a lot of diversity in the content. It would be huge if eventually they could get fox broadcasts in the game for the playoffs. It would be hard to get fox, but it would add an authenticity to the game that would be much welcomed. Joe Buck has grown on me in the past few years because he seems like he actually gets excited during the game. I think a Madden-type broadcast would also be cool. Maybe update it every other week because it would be very hard to do every week due to the long season. Can't wait for the game. Already preordered the hall of fame edition!

I like Reynolds and Dan Plesac is a bit of a cornball, but he makes good points. One thing I would love to see is for them to drop the "Theme 1," "Theme 2" thing they got going on and just create fake networks and have them each have their unique overlays and music. For example, re-name Theme 1 to "TSSN - The Show Sports Network" and have the TSSN logo on the scorebug and on the ticker, replay graphics, presentation pieces, etc. Then create another fake network for Theme 2 and Theme 3. I think this would add a lot to the presentation instead of having all the generic themes just having the MLB The Show 17 Logo.

This is a great idea and something that needs to be implemented next year

^ Underrated Scorsese film. Not as good as Goodfellas but very fun and infinitely re-watchable.

# 174 Jeffrey Smith @ 02/28/17 05:39 PM

I just hope the presentation this year helps relay the excitement and importance of some intense moments during my franchise. I want the broadcast team to be pumped for that game tying homerun in the 8th. I want the crowd to go crazy for a walkoff homerun in the 9th. I want pressure situations to feel more tense than just the controller vibrating.

# 175 SilverBullet1929 @ 02/28/17 05:54 PM

Still wondering when if ever I'll use the other themes.

Even if I mute him, I won't be able to get around the fact that one of the worst color commentators in all of baseball was selected to be put in the only MLB video game on the market. Guy was taken off the World Series broadcasts for a reason. He's that bad. Just a tremendously poor decision. See you guys in a few years when Harold is out and someone else is in!

I'm no fan of Reynolds as many who frequent the baseball board know, but I don't think I would ever skip a year of the Show just because he's in the game.

Bright side, I'll finally be able to mute Harold Reynolds, that's almost worth the $60, almost.

# 177 2k7playa @ 02/28/17 06:34 PM

Like Plesac a lot, maybe Reynolds will be a better analyst in video game world. Are they gonna record in same booth, hope so.

Have they revealed anything about the other 2 themes?

# 179 Jolly Roger @ 02/28/17 07:27 PM

Man, I didn't realize so many people can't stand Harold Reynolds. I don't mind him. It's Eric Byrnes and Greg Amsinger I don't like.

Now Brian Kenny, there's a classy pro.

Anyway, I turn everyone but Matt Vasgersian off anyway. It's distracting focusing on a pitch when the color guys are there over-dissecting your plate approach ("when the pitch is, like, not far from the plate then, like, mayyyyyyybe you get a guy to swing. But, like...when the pitch is, like, so far outside though? He's not even going to WORRY about swinging! Not even worry about it I tell you!!!!!").

No but I'm assuming they're just the same generic ones as last year. And they're "fine" I'm sure but they're not the MLB Network package and I can't imagine ever selecting them unless someone is doing a franchise and literally selects one game per week as the mlb network game of the week (or something like that) and uses the other themes for all the other games. Only for some realism like that would I see anyone using them. But on a daily pick up and play solo or with a friend I can't imagine not choosing the mlb network theme.
