I noticed that the box on the right was displaying the analysis of the pitchers release point on the pitch which I believe is new

Also is that the new location of the pitch callout display that use to appear in the middle of the screen ??

I like the new score bug...looks sleeker and more "broadcast" now. A small, but appreciated touch. I can see the use of having info such as confidence and energy on-screen (and, therefore, understand why some would find it appealing), but, like a lot of others here, I wish there was an option to remove it all. Oh well.

EDIT: and I'm not sure what I think about the new PCI. It looks more "videogamey" to me. I'm assuming we can still turn it off though, so no biggie.

Any chance we may ever see a maybe smaller ticker for the score at the top? Similar to ESPN, and then have it slide out for updates.

Russ since you guys are adding stuff to screens, can you show the Base running ability and speed as a numeric display or at least include it on screen? Just a thought...rather than showing stamina meter why not show approx number of pitches pitcher can throw before in that tired zone(e.g. 70-75)? This still leaves people guessing as to how many pitches the pitcher has left but also tells you about how many pitches the pitcher typically can throw, something most managers know about opposing pitchers going in to games.

Russell, have you kept the bottom ticker with the out of town scores from last year?

It will most likely always be bars, some people like them some people hate them. If you can't tell if a guy is threat to steal a base by those two bars being over 75% full I'm not sure how much more we can help you. (Also at this stage in development we are in polish and bug fixing mode. I keep seeing people asking for more changes but it's not going to happen.)

The game tells you when your pitcher is getting tired via to top drop down ticker and there will be a hash at the 25% energy mark. It's on the user to use the tools available to them to decide on if they should yank their pitcher or not.

Yeah it's still there you will see it in franchise and season if you have it turned on.

What bug are you talking about?

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Your new default camera view and other tidbits

Nope, this is something that only the hard core really wants. In every focus test we have ever done for the game we always hear the game is to hard and there isn't enough info given to the user.

can't you just make it an option?
it looks beat like that, takes you out of it.

I like the new batting angle. The pitcher definitely looks smaller and more zoomed out. A nice change for what I like. I also like the overall pitcher confidence and fatigue meter.

Question: With the new scorebar, and thus, a new little icon that shows what base runners are on, I notice that we will no longer have graphic representation of where the runners actually are on the basepaths. Will the "after-the-ball-is-in-play" camera be changed to accommodate this?

For example if a ball is hit into the gap, with the old thing you could see if a runner was close to second base, and if he had a chance to make it to third. The camera was always focused on the ball and the fielder so this little icon thingy was the only feedback we had for controlling our runners. Based on your shot of the 2012 version, this is no longer possible, since the icon doesn't have space between the bases to give you an idea of how far a runner is from a base at any given time.

My question is, what is there this year to help us, and to compensate for this? I hope my question makes sense lol I realize this post is kind of a linguistic mess.

I think he is saying he hates having the "MLB 12 The Show" logo on the scorebar at the top.
