*The Sylphreni Show - Episode 11

[HalfEatenOnionBagel]

edit: i *think* we've tried commentary before. iirc it was rather slow. i don't know if that was partially due to the commentators themselves, the nature of the sim, or just both?

We did have commentary for a short time (I think even for the prospect bowl last season maybe?) but there were a few reasons it just did not work out as a regular thing. For one, when we tried it was back when Kolbe was in the league and he was the guy doing a lot of the commentary so there's that. But additionally we have sped up the sim presentation some which makes it hard to follow. The commentary just isn't everyone's cup of tea whereas just having music while also having a live chat is something everyone can get on board with. And of course no offense to anyone that did the commentary here but the amount of prep that even the worst real life commentators put into getting ready for a game, learning players, stats, etc and of course having a production team making sure the presentation is solid is not insignificant.

In SCSFL they have been doing commentary for sims but each game there takes 30 minutes so maybe it just lends itself more to that.
