MLB 12 The Show Fact Sheet

Re: MLB 12 The Show Fact Sheet

Does anyone know if, in RTTS, I want to play as a Catcher, do I still have to call every pitch? Or have they added a setting where I can choose to play the non-routine plays (throwdowns, pickoffs(?), popups, bunts, dropped 3rd strikes, etc) only?

I went from playing MLB 08 on the PSP to playing MLB 11 on the PS3. In 08, the Catcher was exactly like I wanted it...in 11, I was basically forced into playing a different position.

I like playing multiple years. I really like RTTS for this, as I can play a game in 5-10 minutes as opposed to 1 hour for a normal game. That's a big difference.

Dynamic fielding results and reaction (balls can now be dropped or missed by a fielder anytime)

I like to have my games to be as sim as possible so I always use classic pitching, timing only hitting, and autp fielding so that player attributes play more of a role. With that said I was wondering if we'll see more dropped balls from outfielders and do player attributes play more of a role to fielding as a whole.

Yes, yes, and yes

Sorry if this has been answered. Can you save mid game during a play now/exhibition game?

Awesomeness!!

You are also punished a lot more for playing guys out of position.

That is music to my ears!!!

Russell, ok now that I know we will be punished for playing guys out of position, will there be a rating for each position? For example, if a guy has a 85 rating at 1B and decide to play in him right field, will his ratings show a drop in game (say a 40 fielding rating)?

Not this year just secondary positions.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Fact Sheet

Not this year just secondary positions.

Does that mean if someone is a utility infielder whose main position is, say, 2B that his fielding would suffer playing SS or 3B even though IF is his secondary position and in real could be a good fielder?

Re: MLB 12 The Show Fact Sheet

In general, do the punishments vary by position? For example, does an out-of-position player in right field receive a penalty equal to that of an out-of-position player currently catching behind the plate?

You've posted that already in the correct thread - no need to copy and paste it in multiple.

If you play any player in a position that is not his primary or secondary position he is going to take an 80% hit on all of his fielding attributes. This year it's going to cost you he will be able to catch the ball but not much us.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Fact Sheet

Will outfielders suffer by moving in the outfield? Say I'm the Rangers and I acquire a LF, I already have Josh Hamilton so I move the new LF to RF, will his attributes go down?

Depends on primary and secondary positions. Russell just said:
