    MLB 12 The Show Preview (Game Informer)


    Game Informer has posted their MLB 12 The Show preview.

    A large part of achieving a true broadcast simulation rests on the lips of the commentary team. This year, Matt Vasgersian, Dave Campbell, and Eric Karros speak more to events tied to your season and less about team history or what happened in real-life last year. Like the highly lauded contextual commentary in the NBA 2K series, these announcers live more in the moment, talking about the Cy Young race during your franchise season or commenting on players having breakout years.

    On the baseball diamond, Sony has reworked a large portion of the control mechanics. If players want a more challenging or realistic experience while batting, they can now control the location of their swing on the game controller. The right analog stick controls stride and swing, and the left stick handles the aiming.

    That article didn't even get into everything new about 12. You will have to wait for the fact sheet for all the info.

      LOL and I love how this image feels like a giant slap into the face to North-siders:





      I know they can't do anything about it, but they're like, "Yeah, that's how it's going to look, big whoop wanna fight about it?" I like that demeanor.

        To be fair, as of today (in real life), it looks like that... well, minus the bleachers.

            By trimming down the visual presentation, games can be completed in 20 to 25 minutes tops.

            What?

            How is that possible? Even PS3 fastplay can't be completed in 20-25 minutes.

                What do they mean by "street-mapped cameras"?

                      I say it isn't out of reach, though it must feel a bit tight... PS3 FastPlay game run 40 - 45 min for CPU vs CPU game for me. I thought they could save some time between innings, foul ball cut scenes (major time saver!), etc. Assuming a game runs for 25 min and both teams throw 145 pitches,

                      (25 * 60 sec ) / (145 * 2 pitches) = 5 sec per pitch

                      I guess doable...

                          The syncing of franchise and RTTS between ps3 and Vita sounds like it was made for me. I have 1 TV in the house and my wife and kid dominate it. If I can start a franchise on it, and play games in my bed this is heaven to me.
