Hell yeah! Damn this game is just unbelieveable!

Looks like the release date is 3/6/12

I just can't hide my ere... uhh, excitement.

[Rules]

It doesn't really say much. Actually, with all of the work they are trying to put into the Vita, I guess I am the only one who feels they probably couldn't dedicate to a full development cycle. As we approach 3 months out, I'm just thinking it is better to lower the expectations so that we don't have this forum blowing up with "why didn't they do this" threads and posts.

This is what we call a marketing fail:

Features: "Heighten your experience on the diamond as you swing into the latest addition to the revolutionary franchise that delivered the highest-rated sports video game four years in a row"

The game itself is a feature? I guess they've earned that reputation? lol

I have to agree with you on this.

All that marketing could just as well been for MLB 11 The Show. There is nothing new there as far as I can see.

If anyone here can point out anything that is not already in MLB 11 The Show I would like to see it.

Is it just me or are developers just getting lazy? The Show '11 was easily my favorite sports game from 2011 but I'm really not excited about '12. There isn't one new "feature" listed here. The game is starting to get really stale. I expect something more than a roster update. I'm not paying another $60 for a roster upgrade. I could care less about the Playstation Move. It's just another gimmick they are trying to peddle off on us. If this is all they have to offer I'm sitting this one out. I can wait a year.

I was really hoping to see a playoff mode. I was hoping to see real weather, and what I mean is weather that actually affects the games and your lineup decisons like rainouts, double-headers and rain delays.

I also want to see better crowd reactions. I want to feel the playoff atmosphere when I'm playing a playoff game. Every game seems the same. The crowd rarely changes. If my team sucks I want to see half-empty stadiums. Baseball video games in the 90's had crowds like this where the announcer would make comments about how empty the stadiums were. It wouldn't be hard to implement if they could make it happen on the Playstation 1.

The Show is a great came but I've been patient the past few years. I'm tired of the glorified roster updates. Show me something new or I will be buying this game every 2 years.
