eugenefosho Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 i must say, mvp baseball's audio commentary is sorely lacking. compared to espn 2k5's (jon miller, i believe) commentary which includes relevant comments and stories, mvp is plain repetitive. so, just to throw it out there, is there any way to mod this somehow? probalby not..

MarkB Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Just played a game where Melky Cabrera went 3-4 and as soon as he made his first out, in the bottom of the 8th inning, one of the announcers said something like "Well, he's not had a great day today, but hopefully he can bounce back tomorrow". :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I've thrown three pitches, 1-2, and he says, "They better get somebody up in the bullpen - he's all over the place today." same with my 8th inning no-hitter (ONE walk). :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 That means that he is pretty mediocre most of the time when he bats. That one makes sense, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basballfanatik9 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I think they should have used the Commentors for the White Sox, i don't know who the guy is, but everytime someone K's he is like "He GOOONE", that's a great commentary catch phrase.

wickethewok Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 "If I hear "It can't be Christmas everyday" one more time when my Crosby when 0-4." Yeh, you gotta get a hit every day in your first 3 at bats with your good players to keep those guys satisfied and content. Once in MVP '04, I hit the foul pole for a home run, and one of them says something really weird about "look in the other pocket, and you'll find a gold watch", or something like that. Very odd, only heard it once, so its possible I made it up though... WickeThEwok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batter-up Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I would think it could be done by altering what the broadcaster say by useing whats in the game and mixing all the commets up. Kind like the anouncement of Bonds. Could be interest what you could get out of the Broadcaters file and making it make sense. Wonder if anyone has been tinkering with the file trying to do something with it. If anyone trys it I wish them the best of luck! :wtg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional announcers are supposed to be somewhat impartial when calling a game. Not these two. Maybe it's an unwritten rule, but it's very annoying to listen to. YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD!

I don't know, maybe for ME it's because I get them on Channel 9 WGN almost everyday, and their enthusiasm for their own team gets annoying when simply calling the game is so much easier on the ears. The enthusiasm is fine for any fan, but to be in a professional position like they are, and scream about the Good Guys and Bad Guys is taking it way too far. I personaly like Joe Morgan and John Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiceBoy Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 "If I hear "It can't be Christmas everyday" one more time when my Crosby when 0-4." Yeh, you gotta get a hit every day in your first 3 at bats with your good players to keep those guys satisfied and content. In one game, they say my cleanup hitter "is an average hitter at best", then the next game, "this guy is a pretty good hitter". "This guy needs more time in the batting cage" ...the guy is hitting over .300. "If there was ever a time to drop down a bunt, now is the time." ...bases are empty. "I think he should throw over to first to see if he gives away the bunt." ...bases are empty. "I know it's early, but he's got a pretty good breaking ball." ...it's the 8th inning. Ball One... "That was a purpose pitch, trying to get the batter to chase one." Ball Two... "That was a purpose pitch, trying to get the batter to chase one." Ball Three... "Sometimes you try and make your pitch. That's exactly what he was trying to do there." Ball Four... "Oh man, he just loses him in that at bat." The hitter breaks his bat... "He just loves to break bats. Hyuh, huh, hyuh" (the stupidest sounding laugh you would ever hear!) "Strike 3 sends him back to the dugout with nothing to show for that AB." Uh, what else do you have to show for a strikeout? "Oh man, that was fat! Tha-tha-tha-that batter has got to be upset with himself." Didn't they bother to re-record the stuttering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I was pitching and the guy was 0-2 and fouled off the 3rd pitch and it said "what a battle this is" another instance that made no sense was when the announcer was like "this team really has a lot of work to do if they want to get out of the basement" and at the time my team was 32 games over .500 and running away with the division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
