MLB 12 The Show Fact Sheet

Re: MLB 12 The Show Fact Sheet

Why not come out and say that "No, you cannot play against people in your friend's list"? I'm looking to find a picture of someone "beating around the bush".

I realize that nobody wants to be the bearer of bad news, but I'd respect your honesty a lot more than skirting the answer and the truth.

No you can't single out your friends to play them. The que doesn't work like that. However if you and your buddy are in the same division and you hit the que at the same time then it's likely could be matched up against him.

There's an option to play against CPU... but I hope the whole DD mode (which I think would be much more fun online) won't get ruined by having to play those who would do anything just to win.

I wasn't get bothered much by online lags and such, but I really didn't care for spending time playing against those who play it like a video game, and not what the Show does better... which is to play baseball games.

But we cannot judge how things play out in online gameplay this year, so we have to see. Maybe most kinks have gotten ironed out.

Thank you...see that was easy enough.

BTW - don't google images "beat around the bush" at work.

And I'm sure there's a lot more than just you and I who would've liked the option to play this mode against our friends...ie: be able to challenge them specifically and not *hope* that we get matched up with them at random.

I can understand there would be those who would use this option to cheat, but I really hate that all games (not just The Show) take away the ability to play against our friends because a few others would use it to gain rankings. Root out the cheats and ban them and let the rest of us play the game as intended.

Re: MLB 12: The Show Fact Sheet

still hoping for new celebrations. i know ive mentioned it plent, but you play baseball to win, and when you do, you cant do the same s*** over and over and over

[JonahLomu]

sounds great ... but when will we be able to directly link our boxscores to a blog here or elsewhere ... it would be great to set something up where I was asked if I wanted the box score posted directly to OS and or blogger.com ... click yes and its posted. also, because of a damaged left hand, i stick to just hitting most of the time ... be nice if I could play online where I didnt have to pitch or field ...

You ARE playing the game as intended - that statement doesn't make much sense. The developers INTENDED to not allow you to play a mode that is completely ranked and tracked against others by chance - not by choice.

But most of us can weed through that and your rude tone and understand the point. Perhaps focus on your delivery in the future.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Fact Sheet

Are there any new homerun cameras this year that watch the flight of the ball?...I saw one video where they show the outfielder looking up as the ball goes over the wall, and on the video showing Battistas home run in toronto, it had last years homerun derby angle where it zooms in on the ball then backs off it (awesome angle hope its added into reg games this year)

Talk about not making sense...wth do you mean there? Seriously....

Nothing wrong with my tone or delivery. Just because I don't coddle certain people and constantly blow sunshine up their butts doesn't make me rude, only a realist.

You said you wanted to play the game "as intended".
Well the way you have to play it IS how it was intended to be played.

What you want , and needed to type it that way, was you want to play the game "how you want"... And not how it was intended to be played.

True, I guess I need to spell things out clearly and not assume that everyone can comprehend as well as others.

And to clarify then. My point was to allow us to play DD games against our friends and the handful (or two) of people that use it to cheat....weed them out. I really hate that options like this aren't allowed because some people will use it to cheat and ruin it for those of us that "play the game as intended".

Words have meanings. "Play as intended..." does not mean "Play like I want..." "Play against people in my friend's list..." does not mean "Play against only people in my friend's list..." "Realist" does not mean "Polite, thoughtful member of discourse" and finally "Comprehend" does not mean "Read your mind".

If you write one thing, but mean another, confusion will inevitably occur. Polite, intelligent people do not normally respond to that confusion with belligerence.
