• MLB The Show 16 - Presentation & Commentary Livestream

    The latest weekly MLB The Show 16 livestream focused on highlighting improvements to presentation and commentary. Joined by Community Manager Ramone Russell, developers Kirby St. John & Michael Compton showcased some of the changes for almost 90 minutes on Twitch.

    Three broadcast display packages (scorebug, other graphics) to help give the feel of national or regional coverage, based upon the team. Commentary has been improved with 14,000+ newly recorded lines and also the 'memory' to remember storylines, stats, records, and in-progress action in order to resume discussion when action warrants a breakaway.

    Continue on to watch the archive of the stream and to see notes on the presentation & commentary improvements coming to the game.




    Some of the most-noteworthy additions/improvements:

    - Three broadcast display packages.
    - Hybrid Presentation Mode: New default. Middle-ground between fast-play and broadcast.
    - Stream-lined 'Inside the Show' radio show to spped up the experience.
    - Dynamic, context-driven "set-up" commentary.
    - Improved memory in commentary & commentary logic.
    - 20 umpire personalities & referenced by commentary.
    - New Home Run Derby format included.
    - The Bluejays' Jose Bautista will have his 2015 ALDS Game Five home run bat flip in the game.
