    MLB 12 The Show - Online Everywhere, Unified Settings, Play Now Plus


    Check out the latest MLB 12 The Show blog, discussing Online Everywhere, Unified Settings and Play Now Plus.

    For years there’s been somewhat of a line between the online areas of MLB The Show and the rest of the game…sometimes that line was faint, sometimes it was distinct. Coming into the development of MLB 12 The Show, we really wanted to eliminate that line so this lead to the idea of Online Everywhere.

    The background looks really nice.

      Seems cool. The million dollar question is this: Can San Diego Studios get the online play working right? If not, all this is pointless.

        I'm pretty sure it will be the best it ever has. I think people expect too much out of a timing sport like this though I do know we have some obvious improvements that can be made. But still, these sports are not easy to get down. I just hope the network code is finally the way it should be. I know coding networks is tough stuff so....

          Still does not mean online will be working properly.

            What happened to the stadium background? That was one of the best visual things they put in the game in a long time. Now we get another generic "sliding logos" screen? Disappointed...

              Background looks like MLB Network-ESPN-ish. Very nice.

                  We're arguing about backgrounds? Really? Backgrounds? Not the game...not the game....We're arguing about backgrounds??

                  This is beta (maybe even alpha) mode, and we're arguing about something subject to being changed 30 times before launch??

                  You guys are a tough crowd to please...

                    Seriously, the background isn't even the topic. Some of you guys seem to play this game for strange reasons. I picture people staring at certain things like the backgrounds or closing their eyes and passionately listening to the commentary. Do you play the game ?

                        Yeah, what's going on? Someone asked why the profile personality was missing in the menus. It's a legitimate concern because of the awesomeness of it (though I think I'm going to love this background myself), but as we all know, the game is not in the menu.

                        Nevertheless, people are pleased by certain aesthetics. I personally know that this game would not be the same to me if it had an MSDOS look to its menus with no sort of front whatsoever. Tell me your favorite restaurant, and tell me that atmosphere/ambiance isn't factored into your reason for loving the place. Sure, the food is great... but what about everything else surrounding it?

                        The guy just had a question. Nothing worse than griping about a griper. Then again, I'm griping about a griping about a griper... INCEPTION!

                          My opinion of the menus wouldn't change even if they had a solid black background. I just don't care what's behind the words in a menu.

                            Yeah I agree. I was hoping they would have possibly expanded on it with different or new angles or maybe some outside shots of the stadium. Kind of a bummer they went back to the old style, although it IS very sharp looking.

                            I like the way they streamlined the menu settings navigating between online areas. I hope this idea was applied to other areas of the menus as well, as going through certain tasks of franchise mode can feel a little too complicated to navigate through at times.

                              This is why I hate the saying save the best for last, lol this blog im pretty sure will be the least interesting of them all and its when we are most hungry for info. Too bad it didnt come out a few days before the game dropped so it wouldnt be that disapointing.

                              Also like mentioned lets hope the stadium backrounds are back, who knows maybe the screens we saw just didnt have a file name or whatever, or maybe the MLB 12 backround is just an option... doubtful but possible
