For the 12th consecutive year the December Podcast features a Roundtable Discussion about the Best of Gameops.com Awards. While the show of course features lots of attention and love for the winners, this is also a great collective on game presentation from some important industry voices.
For example, we look at who won the Best Act of 2022 but Rich Meyers and Amanda Greco (with over 30 years of experience leading and directing shows) talk about why acts are so valuable and how to get the most from the acts.
While presenting the winners of the Best On-Field Content MILB Expert Ben Hill reflects on the changes since COVID that face teams and how teams are adjusting and reacting to this new landscape.
It’s a fun hour talking about both the winners, peppered with thoughtful insightful about game operation and presentation from four real students of the game.
The Roundtable covers all the winners, honorable mentions, staff picks and industry thoughts on the seven categories of the Best of 2022 Awards.
