MLB 12 The Show Preview - Pulse Pitching, Zone Analog Batting, Collision Awareness

Re: MLB 12 The Show Preview - Pulse Pitching, Zone Analog Batting, Collision Awarenes

I hope they were able to get at least two announcers in a booth together for some authentic back and forth style commentary. Even if you hear the same lines over again, the natural cadance at least allows it to turn into background noise that you can just tune out instead of somewhat robotic lines.

But not a thing they talked about sounded lame. All good to hear. And hearing that RTTS has your player being trated like a top prospect, to me, must mean that they won't call you up to the next level to rot on the bench and be expected to meet those benchmarks with sporadic at bats and only starting once every 5 games or so.

Angels signing Wilson and Pujols would have people crying

In all fairness, people are fed up with the "trade" logic, not the FA signing logic. I'm sure many people wouldn't disagree with these signings in their franchise. Its when the Angels trade Jeff Mathis and a C prospect for Pujols or 2 no-names for C.J. Wilson that people will cry foul. Now of course the game does not recognize names, but even if you go by attributes that is a ridiculous trade.

Well said, that is the point I was trying to make. I never cared where free agents signed. My complaint regarding FA is some of them not being signed at all due to financial issues in the game. I know the devs are working on it, and all the improvements coming to this year are quite staggering. March freakin 6th is so far away.

Knight,

I'm sure it would take truth serum to get anything from you except name rank and serial number but all I need is a few crumbs like will us roster guys be able to choose 8 teams in each league? This would be huge.

I know I'm just dreaming but how great it would be if we could send
our created players from 2011 to 2012 ? Maybe someday...

Thanks Bud,

I doubt this. You're a Mets fan. And yet you're still staying silent.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Preview - Pulse Pitching, Zone Analog Batting, Collision Awarenes

Thank you Russel for being so kind and answering alot of questions being asked by everyone. I just have a couple questions for you if you don't mind?

I always have to play auto fielding because I am terrible at manual. I want to give it a shot again but with this new ball physics and the "increased ball speed" from the bat it doesn't appear I will be able to do so well with it. Did you guys do anything for manual fielding to make it easier??

And for auto fielding...how are the fielders reacting to the new ball physics on their own? Part of the reason why I like auto fielding are the animations I saw that I would never be able to pull off manually. Are there new fielding animations for auto fielding this year?


Lastly, I'm a classic pitching w/o the meter guy so this pulsating pitching thing is a dream come true for me! I loved classic pitching but always wished I had a little more control without the difficulty of analog pitching. With this new pitching system it sounds like I will get my wish. Thanks again and hope you can answer at least one of those questions!

Re: MLB 12 The Show Preview - Pulse Pitching, Zone Analog Batting, Collision Awarenes

really??? All subjective IMO

WOW, so contract issues are subjective?!?!? Look I understand this is a great game and everyone likes the developers around here, but having prime players unsigned and sitting around after 4-5 years in franchise is not subjective.

It is a flaw that needs to be fixed.

Trade logic maybe not so much.
