MLB 2K12 Preview (Gamespot)

I love the overcast skies in the Verlander pic. I wonder if we will see weather this year like rain.

This sounds really cool. I don't think the pure visuals in this game will ever be awe-inspiring, but I really love the way they're doing the strategy. It's pretty cool that a batter will be able to dial in on your fastball if you keep throwing it in the same speed and the same location and the same count in successive at-bats. I know that folks will complain that the CPU is cheating when this happens to them, but it's super realistic.

I hope they have a pitch recognition rating or slider that makes clear differentiation between guys who make these adjustments well and guys who don't.

The sky looks cool but the shadowing is pretty week on Verlander. It's like there's no depth or something.

Also I hope the batting helmets look better this year. Not enough shine on those guys!

Well I'm still playing Tiger Woods 08 on the PC. Sometimes older is just better.

If so, this might be the baseball game for me to get this year but only if it impacts the gameplay / game.

My apologies... He was always pitching from the stretch in the videos I have seen, perhaps he just prefers the stretch at times. However, he does not use the overhead windup.
