I posted something about a real audio PBP in the OOTP 21 wish-list, and in another thread on OOTP 20's general forum; I also certainly understand that if this ever makes into the game, it is a longer-term item.

In that post I mentioned what caught my attention was coming across a video of the Tony LaRussa Baseball 1996 PC game on YouTube. That game's audio PBP really held-up and candidly, seemed better than the current MLB The Show PBP I compared it to on YouTube.

I think the key there is that Tony L's game avoided the pitfalls of all of that color commentary in "The Show", and basically stuck with the actual PBP. Anyway, it was just really well-done, and as someone who plays-out all of his games, this would be a nice option to have at some point.
