MLB 12 The Show Video - Pulse Pitching, Zone Analog Batting, Broadcast Presentation

never liked the kind of robotic/urgent reaction impression i get of the outfielder scooping up the ball and immediately getting it back (gunning it back) into the infield kind of look.

i see it again on (again hope it's a old build) Ryan Howard slaps a single to left field. The left fielder, unless Ryan is trying to stretch the single into a double which in the case he's not, should soft toss it back into the infield instead of gunning it in. it's like the game's been missing a leisure throw animation routine in the holster.

Same for Fredbird, too.

The art has actually changed a lot since you guys last saw it. It might be changed again, if it hasn't that's what the game will ship with also. It's not nearly as visible from the pitchers view which is why the "ants" are still there.

the pulsing looks like it can become distracting.... nice feature though, very cool.

I'm hoping with the broadcast presentation that the crowd/fans will be better, too. I also am hoping that franchise got some love, because I would really like to see some small additions - notably, more in-depth stats kept about past years. Gameplay and presentation look great, though!

This broadcast presentation had me drooling already. The camera cuts after the pitch brings so much realism IMO. #CANTWAIT

LOL, sorry for posting this video just now. I thought this big *** thread was a few days old! My bad!

Tons of great things in this game!

However, at 4:55, right at the crack of the bat on a line drive, you can see the left fielder instantly turn his back and start running blindly. He stops running at the perfect spot, and poof, there is the ball. So much for new ball physics. The OF still knew exactly where this hard line drive would end up.

Then, at 3:00, the left fielder makes a highlight catch at the warning track, with an absolutely perfect, nonchalant, route.

I know outfielders take different routes to the balls in 12, so I hope this video is the exception and not the norm. That is, unless the new routes to the ball are just ascetic, and they will all run the perfect straight line to the ball if there is no time to mess around.

Then, at 7:25, looks like the cut-off logic is still jacked up. Why is the cutoff man setup to take a throw to 1st base on a bases empty single to left?

Because of this, I will only play 500 games, burn through 3 discs and 1 PS3!
