We need every team's commentators for Regional Broadcast games and World Series commentators
-
If I am playing as the Yankees and using Regional Broadcast instead of MLB Network I want to hear Michael Kay. I want to hear Joe Buck whenever my team is in the World Series and yes Joe Buck should also be the commentator for World Series Rank in Ranked Seasons (My opinion about the Diamond Dynasty one)
-
I don't think that any console can do that and I doubt it's in the budget.
-
No....just.....no.
-
Honestly you big. It sounds so easy but you must realize the commentators have to do this in their off-season they have to stimulate almost every game every play pitched by a pitch. They assimilate everything that's happening from an actual game and commentate basically blind baseball from start to finish strikeouts runners. Everything they have to do it by themselves and they probably don't even get paid. So for all the teams, that's a far-fetched wish list. But yes there is a way you can import audio into the game
-
Not even remotely possible. You do understand that these people are paid handsomely for the use of their voices in the game. Do you really think you could multiply the current talent budget by 30 times and keep the game affordable for most customers?

I feel like people dont even take into consideration how much money things like this would cost. And if they ever got the announcers for all 30 teams (60 announcers if you're looking for a color commentator and a play-by-play man), these same people would be in here like "Last year we had 200 legends....this year we only have 50. Why?"
-
@PriorFir4383355_XBL Well it is possible but not practical. They can physically do it, but like you said it would be hella expensive. I would love to have every team's announcer for immersion but honestly I'd be happy with just one more male PA so you'd have the choice between two male and two female voices.

They make enough money to do this and it would be the right thing to do. But let’s be real we can’t even get a roster update.
I worry it would compromise specific details about players. But if you implement Ai voices and just buy the rights to the announcers voices it may not even be that far fetched.
These kind of concepts are far above the heads of SDS, they are more concerned about the players that buy VC.
Since last season I turn the volume low and just play some podcasts in the background. I’ve heard the same lines from these dolts since Vascursion left.
I’m so with you but you gotta realize who we are dealing with here. Basically a monopoly, as madden has. Until somebody at least try’s to push a product similar to NBA Live, which is buns but at least it pushes 2K to be the best. I doubt we’ll get any substantial improvements until next gen god willing.

Anyone but Joe Buck, can't stand him

As soon as they put in Boog Sciambi's ignorance I started playing it muted anyway.

Is it "possible" that you would pay $500 for MLB The Show to enjoy hearing each of the 30 MLB teams' announcers?
I mean, yes, it is possible from a technical standpoint, perhaps! However, to expand the voice library files by 30 times might also be impractical.
-
@PriorFir4383355_XBL Would need a whole PS5 or XBOX harddrive just to hold all the files of one game!

Quite a lot of announcers they'd have to add and never will. You'll need to locate your servers to Mars to power something like this! -
@TheBigPapa55_PSN Also, can't forget Rick Rizzs for the M's. The Yankees now has one of our former commentators in Dave Sims.
-
@dap1234567890_PSN
Just doing TV -
I agree, it would be really expensive.
That said, could it be feasible to have add on packages?
Then you wouldn't pay 500$ or whatever, you pay 20$ for a set ( by division? ) of commentators.

That's literally what i said here, "Well it is possible but not practical."
