Wow... That looks a million times better!

Can you take pics of what you changed on your TV?

Thanks!

All the pictures look great!

# 327 jimmy13 @ 03/08/17 01:48 PM

All I did was tweak the picture settings on my tv and colors pop, they're more vibrant. Sharpness, etc. It looks great you just have to mess around with it. It's not the game.

I would love for the commentary to geared towards your franchise transactions and players being sent up or down, how hot the new prospect is or is not.

I would love for Matty V to say

the young Right Fielder in AAA is ripping up the Pacific League, now that Carl Crawford is struggling Harold do you think they might want to bring him up?

The dodgers and Nats just had a major trade sending Harper to the Dodgers and Kershaw to the Nats. Dan, what do you think about the trade and do you think Harper a good fit for the Dodgers?

These are the type of comments that will make Franchise much better, hell they can even comment on other team big trades or hot prospects, it would make me go look up those players.

Did anyone catch the Would Baseball Classic last night?

Well let me just say that Matty V sounded really great and so different then he does in MLB The Show. I am not just talking about his excitement either. Just the way he genuinely speaks sounds so different. After watching last night it is more clear then ever that Matty V is a very good Play By Play man in real life.

Just for what ever reason he sounds more like a robot in MLB The Show!

The good news is Sony has big plans for him in the future they say!

All I want from Matty V in MLB The Show is Lots of Variety, excitement and maybe the most important Realness in the way he talks!

I think a lot of people who havent been necessarliy thrilled with Matt the last few years are going to be pleasantly surprised by his turn in 17. I dont know if his excitement level will reach great heights this year but his new commentary lines coupled with 2 fresh voices beside him are going to go a loooong way IMO

To be fair, Mets announcers really are top notch and I say that as a Giants fan. You end up listening to a lot of crews when you have MLB.tv (including radio guys) and the Mets guys are some of the best.

And while I live in the Philly market, I can't imagine anyone here being biased towards Tom McCarthy. Thank god they play the radio feed in the CBP bathrooms. lol

Scott Franzke and Larry Andersen are the BEST!!!!

You know what....with MLB presentation cominv about, maybe in the future we'll team specific presentation....maybe in like in the year 2027

# 334 Reed1417 @ 03/12/17 12:26 PM

All this talk of commentary has me getting even more excited for my own. I'll be doing some baseball games at the local community college near me. I'll be a one man booth haha.
But anyway love me some Matty V on commentary and I can't wait to hear him this year. He is "The voice of The Show" in my mind.

Reed is comin' atcha!

Baseball would never classic again. Haven't you seen the news with Manfred doing all of these pace of play changes? I'd like to record that program though and see what they say about it. But in my mind, baseball will only future.

Speaking of which, anyone happen to catch the World Baseball Classic? When I was watching it, yes the first thing that came into my mind is: "Let me try and distinguish the separation of dialogue and conversation between Vasgersian in real life and The Show."

Can he sound perfect in a video game? Of course not. They have to account for every situation and stitch the emotions together with it, plus names and statistics. However, in my uber long post in this thread, I suggested that any games we can catch PBP with him, that SDS captures his individual pieces of dialogue, arrange them for appropriate moments, play them back for Matt, then ask him to re-record that line as necessary. I've never had trouble not mimicking myself before, no matter the emotion I needed to convey.

At least this takes away the script, but Matt doesn't always sound like he's reading off a script either. does help with the organic feel though, and perhaps finds many different ways he can describe a ground ball that's hit, etc.

(also, according to the Machado home run in Marlins Park last night, Matt refers to the LF concourse behind the stands is known as "big boy territory"... let's make sure that name is tagged in )

Don't know if this has already been brought up or not, but, my only gripe with commentary is for some of the players is the announcers don't even call them by their actual names. It's "number 15 comes up to bat", or "the right fielder makes the catch". That's boring.

The reason that happens is if they don't have that particular players name in their audio database, or if that particular player hasn't made their mlb debut yet and is a rookie.

They used to actually take requests for names and pronunciations and such. They still might, but I'm so glad they did at the time! Some of my friends with rather uncommon last names (like Subramanian and Shabatura) made the cut way back maybe eight years ago, and they also added my best friend's last name in Volkert (he passed thirteen years ago). Major kudos to them for that!

What's nice is that even if their name isn't in the database, you can edit the player and match something "close" if you'd like, not that it's the same thing. For example, I created Barry Bonds in MLB Power Pros, but because Bonds wasn't in the audio database, I put "Bonser" in place (Boof Bonser was a pitcher for the Twins). It was hilarious whenever the announcer would exclaim his name "BONSER... MAKES THE CATCH!" Even my roommate at the time has the last name Saraka, and we used Zumaya... close enough I guess?

Thankfully mine is common enough to always make these games.

Wow... You are not kidding... I upped the color on my TV to 100, changed a few other things and holy **** does the Nats red alternate jersey look very nice! I'll have to check out other teams as well.

I'll try to post pics of the Nats and others.

Thank you so much jimmy!
