MLB 12 The Show Screenshots - Your New Default Camera View and Other Tidbits

Please change the colour of the second and fourth pitches (purple and orange). It's very difficult to see on TV (Maybe something like bright red or yellow). Thanks.

Russell, when can we expect a demo? The week before it comes out, which would be the 28 of February?

I think last year it was about a week before the game came out, yeah. I can't remember playing the demo that much.

I'd say expectation is one thing, reality is another. So many things come into play from now till then that don't even guarantee the game will release when scheduled.

In a perfect world, they'll probably want to release it the Tuesday before the game releases, or maybe two Tuesdays before. Although, at some point, it's out of their hands as the demo needs to be approved by Sony before it can be officially released.

Wow can't believe it took them this long to put Confidence/Energy bars on the screen.

Nice little addition.

I have a question about the 4-seam fastball. Why has the 4-seamer never been changed? In reality, pitchers throw a 4-seam fastball, but it DOES have movement on it. If pitchers threw the 4-seam fastball that is in the game they would get rocked. I'm surprised this has never been changed.

I've loved The Show since 2008. I just hope the developers aren't dumbing it down too much.

I understand why they are changing the difficulty, pitch speed and such. They wanna reach everybody they can with the game. My cousin is a casual baseball gamer/fan and he wanted to play The Show, but he just can't hit.

Hey Ramone, when can we expect some gameplay videos?

Hey Ramone, when can we expect some gameplay videos?

Next week during CES good chance of first gameplay videos and interviews with Russell

Gametrailers.com maybe the first with some footage.

Of course Russell said it will only have 25% or so of the Presentation stuff in it.

After reading thought this thread I have got some real perspective on just how spoiled and greedy we have become "me included"

We have so much access to the developers that we take them for granted with all of our wants and needs and expect nothing but perfection now

I remember how much I loved the ASB series and how I was always amazed how much stuff they there able to pack into there game, and then remembering that we had little to no access to developers except for ASBMan but we loved the product and trusted them to deliver

I have gotten too caught up with insignificant cosmetic issues and need to care about having a working franchise and solid game play with few bugs

My only request.....

I just want the lineups & rosters that I spend hours on to get perfect to stay set from the beginning without having to send down 435 players or go through a complex process that needs it own "how to" thread

Any chance the first post can be updated with all the "other tidbits" people find?

[Ramminyou]

Very excited for this. Something tells me it might be the best one yet.

I would not worry. While the entry level difficulties are made to appeal to newer less experienced players, myself and others are always giving feedback on how to make the higher difficulties even more challenging.

Russel,

The Miama Marlins Ballpark video indicates that the stadium's roof opens and closes, will the same improvement be implemented in game for the Seattle Mariners? In 11, the roof stayed open even if it was raining, which would never happen in a real game.

Also, Free agency seemed unfair in franchise mode, as not all players were ever allowed to be in the market, such as Albert Pujols. In real life the Cardinals didn't offer enough and he was tossed into FA, but in Franchise Mode, I simulated the postseason several times in a row and he never ever showed up as an option to try and buy off. However unrealistic it seemed that Albert Pujols would leave the Cardinals... it still happened.

And A-rod retired due to Age... ridiculous lol. Have minor things like these been addressed at all? (i'm not saying do it now! because i know we're past that dev stage)
