I would still take Hurdler over Karros n Lyons anytime as them two are awful boring to me ..

Yeah they did, but it's one of those things that's overdue for The Show. I wonder if that's something that would come with player model improvements, not this year, but when the player models actually get overhauled. The fact that the player model inprovements seems to only be under RTTS CAP worries me.

If there is a MLB Network presentation/segment and we had some of these guys along Matty V and Peter Gammons I think it would be up there with NBA 2k presentation. We need that kind of presentation broadcast finally for this game. It would be incredible since MLB Network cameras are all in all the ball parks that SCEA could include some live footage in MLB 17 or with cut scenes etc.

Oooooooooh no lol hudler was far worse than Lyons and Karros.

I'll admit I'm a baseball snob and really only like a handful of guys that do color commentary, but in a video game it could be alot different, less room for favoritism in a game vs real life

This was my first electronic baseball. Even had notebooks with all the players/teams/box scores etc. Played a whole season with this.

Wow!! Those player models were linebackers playing baseball 😂 Love Scully but that commentary they had him reading didn't sound great either ..

# 230 Bullit @ 01/27/17 02:40 PM

Then there was this downtown at the Market Store. The owner would actually stock it with baseball cards. If you won the game it would spit out a card.

This was my first baseball game.

Yep, I had that too. Amazingly, I think you can still find 'em at Target and such, I know the football version is there.

Well, it was the steroid era.

# 234 tnixen @ 01/27/17 03:07 PM

I played with these all the time as a kid too

O the good old days!

File this entire post under 'highly speculative'...

FWIW, if it is to be an MLB Network package and the amount of letters bleeped out as ****** ******* and *** ***** actually do indicate the amount of letters in the names (they may have only realized after the fact how easily OS would inevitably decipher this and are now trying to divert, lol), the only fits that I see on the MLB Network website are Lauren Shehadi and Dan O'Dowd. Not sure what to make of that, if anything. That might not mean anything per Ramone's tweet that the amount of bleeped out letters are meaningless. It does seem slightly odd that they'd randomly pick a 6 letter/7 letter name and a 3 letter/5 letter name as opposed to simply not using stars at all. Unless, of course, they got a kick out of trolling. For all the abuse they take, I certainly wouldn't mind!

Another 6 letter/7 letter name they're already using for the radio show is Justin Allegri, but it wouldn't really make sense to take him off the radio show and put him in "in the booth" with another pbp guy in Vasgersian.

Anyway, if Shehadi and O'Dowd are the new additions, it might mean that Lyons and Karros are staying in the booth and they've added a studio show of some kind ala the NCAA Football series with Rece Davis and David Pollack. However, if they did simply add a studio show and without replacing any commentators, the text on the release schedule about "join the booth..." wouldn't really make sense.

I feel like replacing both Steve Lyons and Eric Karros, as little as they added, with brand new talent in a single dev cycle would be pretty hardcore. You'd imagine they'd need more time to build up enough lines for adding a new voice (or two) to the booth. So, either they went hardcore and knocked it out in a few months, or they've been working on it for much longer, or the number of lines might end up being pretty limited for the new talent.

I played something similar as a kid, only it had a dot matrix display. Slugfest was so damn fun trying to hit the heckler.

# 237 Bullit @ 01/27/17 03:32 PM

To be honest I would love to have a female in the booth, either Heidi Watney or Lauren Shehadi. Both of these ladies really seem to care about and know Baseball. I think they would add a breath of fresh air.

I don't think they will ever get rid of Matt. Which I am fine with. They have spent so much time and effort, especially on OS, to build up the name files in this game. If they cut Matt loose they would have to start over and that would be a shame. There are a lot of us on here that have their names in this game solely because of the Developers presence on these forums and I would hate to loose that.
