We need every team's commentators for Regional Broadcast games and World Series commentators

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

@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.
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!

You're probably correct!

Rockies (ROCKIES.TV) Drew Goodman, Ryan Spilborghs, Jeff Huson
Padres (PADRES.TV) Don Orsillo, Mark "Mud" Grant
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."

Plus, national broadcasts:
FOX - Joe Davis, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal (Reporter)
FOX (X2) Joe Buck, Tim McCarver
FS1 - Jason Benetti, A.J. Pierzynski
ESPN - Karl Ravech, Eduardo Perez, David Cone, Buster Olney (Reporter)
Apple TV+ - Wayne Randazzo, Dontrelle Willis, Heidi Watney (Reporter)
MLB Network - Matt Vasgersian, Buck Martinez
TBS - Bob Costas (Yes, I'm aware of his retirement), Ron Darling (The Studio with Ernie Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Curtis Granderson, and Jimmy Rollins would be great).
That's 37 TV Channels and I can't even count the amount of announcers -
@Invinitee_XBL
If only. Maybe if Steve Cohen was running things. -
I Miss. Don. Orsello. You padre, fans, are so lucky that John Henry is a knucklehead.
-
MLBTS should bring back the radio and TV calls at start up and between music but add classic calls from the mlb archives it is a mlb product after all that all 30 teams share revenue from.
-
As great as it would be to hear McCarthy and kruk calling games,with the way the CPU haphazardly pieces together the recorded comments and outright butchers it at times,I never would want that.
-
@jake93436_PSN If they ever have real commentators then it would take a while until MLB 28, 29, or 30 to be completed
-
@TheBigPapa55_PSN In addition, Bob Costas, Jim Kaat, John Smoltz, Yonder Alonso, and Harold Reynolds do play-by-play and/or color commentary for some MLB Network games. In my opinion, both Sciambi and Singleton need to be let go after this years' edition. Yes, their broadcast commentary may be great in real life, but, for this game they're horrible! Since, SDS is based in San Diego, the easy choice would be to hire Don Orsillo and Mark Grant from the Padres broadcast team to replace them. But, pretty much any of the broadcasters mentioned above by us fans would do a better job than Jon and Chris are doing right now.
-
Jon Sciambi is amazing in real life but is just stale in the game
-
@TheBigPapa55_PSN
I think Brian Anderson is play-by-play for TBS but who cares -
Personally, I liked the previous announcing team. I even miss Hiedi Whatney as much as she irritated me. I think people are way too invested in announcers, whether it be in a live broadcast or a video game. Madden has four sets of announcers, and their dialog gets old, too. Plus, no one has the budget for 75 or more announcers. I'd simply be happy if the game invested to get more last names in the database.
