I don't know how some people enjoy video games. Yes, I do want realism for sure, but what I'm looking for is numbers. If someone like Reyes winds up with somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-20 HRs at the end of the season, I'm not going to lose sleep over the fact 2 or 3 of them may have been unlikely to happen IRL. Now if he hits 30-35, then those "unlikely to happen" would bother me. Now I didn't say I liked them, it just doesn't bother me to the point it apparently does others.

Thanks to all that helped with the Baltimore Orioles roster, and to N51_rob for making me an OS premium member.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park
Did you even read my entire post, or just the parts that suited how you wanted to reply? I don't think we've met, although you apparently know about me to categorize me as a casual gamer. If you frequented the roster section for the '10 Edition (were you even around then?) you would have noticed that many people found enjoyment out of my '86 roster set I did. How many "casual gamers" do you know that have spent the many hours required to do such a thing (you know, other than me of course). So like I said (here comes the part you didn't read), I do want the game to play realistic, which it always has moreso than any other offering lately, but I refuse to get hung up on something that happens infrequently to the point where I don't enjoy the game.
That's good for you, but the majority of people on a site like this actually do care about the game hve proper bat to ball physics. The batter/pitcher confrontation is the single most important aspect of a baseball game, and if it's broken the people here won't be happy with the game in a way a more casual gamer like yourself would be.Comment

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park
I didn't know if you were referring to me by the way, but I have been called out for being a little too harsh to seemingly enjoy gaming. Just like you, people here don't know me; those who do (and I've met a share of OSers before) can vouch for my... how do you say... "normalness" in person?
Besides, I have yet to complain about the Reyes thing, if you look over my posts carefully. I've mentioned what probably shouldn't happen, but I wasn't the person who brought it up. All I didn't like was that the "old build" comment sometimes doesn't come into fruition even though they say that. However, at the same time, I'm really hoping that this is just a matter of being an "old build" and that they're right. Obviously, nothing would make me happier. And of course, even if it didn't, I would still love this game till the end.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park
Comparing someone making a final judgment on a game and pointing out something that looks troubling in a clip released by the developer seems a bit harsh.
And if the developers did indeed stage that event for the clip, it seems like an odd choice.Comment

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park
It wasn't directed at anyone in particular. I know you make far too many positive comments to not enjoy the game!

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park Trailer
Did Reyes just get jammed on an inside fastball and hit an opposite field homerun?
I thought the new ball physics was supposed to fix that.
And for anyone questioning whether it was a HR...look at the left fielder drop step and run deep towards the pole.
1. If it wasn't a HR, why did they show it right before the HR feature?
2. If it wasn't a HR, why is it so close to a HR? That ball should not be hit that deep to the opposite field regardless of whether it cleared the wall or not.Last edited by jmik58; 02-07-2012, 11:39 AM.Comment

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park Trailer
You guys should really start reading posts. It's like a broken record in here and it's annoying."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

I don't have time to read through 14 pages of posts. However, your response has alerted me to the fact I'm opening a wound that was perhaps nearly closed. Therefore, I won't advance the discussion further.Comment

But you have to read the posts in order to debate. It's not that hard to click on the little button beside the topic title and read from the last post that you read before.Rangers - Cowboys - Aggies - Stars - Mavericks

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park Trailer
While I wouldn't blame people to not thoroughly read all the posts, when you post something, I feel you should at least do *some* homework before you actually do so...
otherwise, you don't need to post yourself, since the chances are that your point has been discussed already by others, you are not putting a tiny extra effort (search? or ...read at least a few posts?) to join the ongoing discussion.Comment

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park Trailer
All right, my bad. I tried making a moderation comment and I think I started something. Not my intention.
Let's go back on topic, please."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.
