I love seeing all the people complaining about commentaries. I don't even have to worry about it as I am deaf and I just either play the game or turn on the subtitles (yes it's actually being used and probably the only sport game that has it... thank u SCEA!)

I've always wondered what broadcasters are saying in the games but I just play them and guess lol.. Till I first bought The Show '08 and was surprised to see subtitles in them.. Pretty cool!

Anyways off to watch the stream now that the kids are finally asleep.

Solid stream. Harold sounds great. Plesac knows his stuff. It's more realistic that Harold talks about everything and plesac chimes in occasionally knowing both their personalities lol

Show track is cool, the Stadium Tagging will add a lot to homerun calls.

Good stream

Anyone else notice that big ol' lumbering slugger dead sprint out of the box at top speed a fraction of a second after the dropped third strike hit the ground?

The blue tinted sky looks so much better. I never understood the brown sunsets it makes it look like the world is going to end

Bryce Harper looks like the same player model from last year.
Nats away jerseys are too dark. They need to be a much brighter red color.

I'm so happy to see they FINALLY moved the numbers up on the backs of the uniforms. Should make the Yankees look a lot better.

The catcher animations also look great and much-improved. The catchers have a lot more life now, and move differently depending on the pitch/situation.

Okay, now that I got to go to the archive, here are three sets:

# 68 My993C2 @ 03/02/17 11:20 PM

First half of the stream was good. Disappointed in the 2nd half because the 2nd half of the stream was hijacked. Ramone came in and he wanted to talk about everything other than "Presentation and Commentary". Kind of hard to follow the new commentary when people are talking over the game commentary. Kirby tried to keep the stream on topic, definitely not disappointed in his attempts. But I guess he does not have a high enough pay grade to prevent the stream hijack.

I will just have to wait until the 28th to see and hear the rest of what Kirby wanted to show us, but couldn't.

Hopefully the coaches wont be wearing jackets in Texas in the middle of summer.

# 70 extremeskins04 @ 03/02/17 11:50 PM

Haven't finished watching yet but in one of the early videos they played, they had a player hit a HR and Matt Vasgersian sounds stale and without any emotion at all.

Now that I can watch the archive, I can say... THIS GAME HAS THIS!!! I am seriously so stoked! EDIT: Oh, I didn't mention I couldn't make that post because my laptop did an automatic restart for updates. I hate it when I lose everything like that!

I wonder if every stadium will have "Stadium tagging" this year? I asked in the chat but I guess the devs didn't see it. Like someone else said the chat was moving real fast.

I'm guessing they all will, though some might be more restrictive to just "stands, bullpen, second deck," etc. just because there are some places a ball simply can't land.

I'll have to check and see if "concourse, facade, batter's eye," etc. were things to look for in tagging. I am beyond stoked about this feature though. Hopefully it continues into replay a bit (that's what ESPN MLB did at least).

Agreed. Was going very smoothly and I was learning things about the game that I never knew, and then chaos ensued and it turned into a jumbled mess.

I like Ramone, but this stream was going just fine without him.

I must have missed that. At what point in the video was that?

Those are air conditioned jackets - new feature.

# 76 bxphenom7 @ 03/03/17 12:25 AM

I loved all the presentation stuff and had a big smile on my face with how the game looked and moved more smoothly. My hope one day, looking at how much better commentary got, is SDS implements spanish commentary. I know that would be so much work, but a wish nonetheless. The game does look better visually, enough for a purchase for me right now!

At the very end of the stream. Kirby talked about the presentation and commentary changes to the game once each game ends. He even said "We never got a chance to show you this". Of course I'm paraphrasing his words, his exact words may be slightly different. But that was what he was alluding to. He never got to show us all the presentation and commentary changes he wanted to show us.

# 79 Cory4AU @ 03/03/17 12:41 AM

I'm unsure how much of it was the stream but the game appeared glitchy in some spots. I realize it is a WIP and may just be the stream and not the actual game its self but some of the check swings looked awkward. A couple of the animations didn't look too smooth and neither did some of the swings.

Matty V in this game sucks plain and simple!!
