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

Re: An 8-min "12" vid at YouTube from CES...

I like that they don't show the player's picture when their up to bat or pitching.

In real life broadcast they only show it when they show the fielders at the beginning and in between innings when they show who's coming to bat.

i loved that too.

love the cutaways in between pitches.
i couldn't tell but were those real time? or cut scenes?

can't wait to see more OSD's from franchise mode.


Diamond Dynasty? online only?

This is going to cause people to have seizures.

I love how Howard didn't roll his wrists and the swing was actually an opposite field hit animation.

Yes ! That was what I was hyped about the most.

couple things:

Liked that after the K, there WAS NOT a fist pump

BUT, kinda sadden that the crowd still looks dead, especially during the triple that mayberry hit the crowd should be jumping or something. Hopefully they improve the crowds in the playoffs or rivalry games (Mets/Phillies Yanks/Red Soxs), would love to see waving towels or a white out

I actually quite like the pulse addition. I personally thought the meter pitching was still too easy to pinpoint your location on pitches to the point that I rarely if ever walked anyone unless I was intentionally pitching around them. If I was aiming for corners, more often than not, I hit them consistently.

As for the zone analog batting, I don't really use analog batting at all. Have there been any changed or improvements to the button batting method?

Pulse Pitching is something I will try, and I think it will look better when you use Broadcast view for pitching.

Zone Analog ... there's no way I'm using that. I'm glad it's in there for those that want it, but I know that I will be very unsuccessful with that setup, so I'll stick to Timing.

I'd like to see more CPU vs. CPU video to get a feel for the Broadcast Presentation, and hopefully with some commentary as well.

Loving the cut scenes in between pitches!!! Makes it all flow so much better and really feels like...well a true broadcast

The new team logo whipe before a replay also looks slick.

The ball really pops off the bat now!

MORE!!!!

I thought they added fielders closing their gloves when making catches. Didn't see it in the video, instead I saw the catcher leave his glove open when receiving the pitch lol

Plenty of positives here and no doubt this is an old old build as when the batters were coming up the OSD showed their 2010 stats and not 2011 as the retail obviously will.

Old build for sure...

Lee and Latos were definitely closing their gloves.

At 2:15, with a runner on third and groundball to second who throws to 1st. Would like after the out the first baseman to take a look at the runner on third. He keeps looking at his second baseman. Hey wake up man !! :-) well I've seen that play in real life as too ;-)

EDIT: I just watched it again. My bad, the runner scored on that play !!

Did anyone notice the added option on how the hot and cold zones will display?

Thumbs up for the new broadcast mode, and new overlays, Looks very cool . Thumbs down to the identical grass texture, game color pallet, and fielding cameras.

Hopefully we see some more videos today...good first video overall. Hopefully they give us an option how often replays come up. I was hoping during mid innings they would show who was due up to bat including stats that include 1-2 single and such. It seems like it is just the players name and that's it. I like the overlay where it tells you that the player pop out in the 2nd inning...that adds a lot. The ball coming out of the pitchers hand is awful...maybe because its a generic throwing motion?? I hope they tweaked fielding to make it more enjoyable...think pys. Not overwhelmed...but its the first video and I can already see some things that I like about 12. The new cursor type batting (zone analog) and pulse pitching will make me pick this game up.

And how the scorebug didn't necessarily disappear on all camera cut. And multi-view replays...

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Pulse Pitching, Zone Analog Batting, Broadcast Presentati

All the new information and video is wonderful. I wonder if we'll be able to use the new zone/analog hitting and pulse pitching with the cursors not being visible. Probably pretty sure bet for the zone/analog hitting, but maybe not for the pulse pitching if there isn't some sort of vibration behinds the scenes for it. But I still want to SCEA for the new info.
