MLB The Show 13 opinion after a few games

I'm disappointed. If Road to the Show is your thing, ask yourself if you enjoy the commentary and play by play before you buy this game.
If you own The Show 12, pop it in, turn off the commentary and try to play a handful of games. If you feel like youre playing baseball in a vacuum, MLB The Show 13 isn't for you.

Being a fielder it doesn't get stale as fast, but it still gets stale, again, if the commentary is something that is in some form even a slight entertainment while you play.

I love to pitch. Every year I probably max out and go 5 seasons deep into the majors with a starting pitcher and a closer. They took commentary and play by play out of Road to the Show so it would have a realistic feel when youre on the field...thats fine and all, but there's no option to turn it ON.

Im 4 games into my first minor league season as a starting pitcher and I think its about to put me to sleep hearing NOTHING while I'm going 6+ innings a game other than crowd reactions and the usual sound effects.

Granted, I haven't dove into diamond dynasty yet or tried anything online at all, but after 4 games of playing what sounded like I was playing baseball on a golf course, I've already lost motivation to keep going. I almost feel required to play a different game mode just so it has an enjoyable audio experience.

Oh...and they removed the commentary for a realistic game experience, but I can turn on the game soundtrack and instead just blast their game soundtrack instead....because thats even MORE realistic right?...like my dude is jammin on his iPod on the field or something.

*sigh*...
