    Re: MLB 12 playable at Best Buy

    Has anyone taken a look at the Mariners and specifically Montero and Ackley's batting stances? Thanks.

      Re: MLB 12 playable at Best Buy

      Sweet got to play it at my local BB. Overall I liked it and of course I'm getting it along with 2k11 for the PC.

      I didn't get to play much though. And it looked horrible though, super pixelated, so something was really off with their TV setup there. I mean there was one time where they showed the crowd and a few people were blurred out until they came into focus. I know it's the game, but for the love of god please do a better job of setting up the displays/PS3's.

      The only other thing was I didn't get a feel for the new physics. Just note, I only batted a couple of innings and then hit batting practice for a few rounds so I didn't get a chance to really absorb things. Also no sound either for the game so that feedback was missing.

      But it kinda felt the same, but also maybe slightly different somehow? The guys at SCEA have earned my trust and will believe what they say until they lose that trust. So I'm just going to assume that I need more time with the game to see the differences.

      Or maybe I'm not entirely sure what too look for in the physics department. And it's right in front of my face.

        just the way the ball bounces on the ground, off the walls, bats, gloves, bases...much greater hit variety this year...had a sick bloop hit over third with michael bourn today that i stretched into a double

          Nitpicky, but its annoying to STILL not be able to use sunglasses for players when they bat.

          Simmed to the World Series to see what the atmosphere was like, and it seems about the same as last year. Crowd still off at times, and nothing like the frenzy you hear while watching the postseason on TV. Also have to admit I was seriously bummed to not see any enhanced world series celebration...its still the same pile and pitcher on the shoulders in slow mo.

          Bobby Valentine is a red-headed dark skinned man with a red chin beard. Hopefully the roster update once he appears in a MLB game will have him in it. Sox fans will be kind of annoyed until that happens since there are the great new camera cuts to the dugout and the manager reaction.

          More of the same positives...lighting and hit variety and players look AMAZING.

          Yeah that's a bit disappointing, thought they might change it a tad bit after like six years of the same thing, lol, I seem to remember baseball handing out a trophy with little flags around it after you win the championship , or so I've been told, lol

            Love hearing that. I wanted more hits in "no mans land" more than anything for this year.

              Since you've played, does this game a mode where I can be Jack Leggett and complain about "bat warmers" because I have the most overrated team in baseball? Thanks in advance.



              (Just kidding by the way, with the rivalry kicking back up tomorrow, I thought that'd be fun)

                Ugh, everything about this game sends tingles down my spine. Its baseball done right, unlike 2K12. So, I'm trading in my Xbox for a PS3 come Tuesday, I can't wait!

                  I did it back in 09. I couldn't take it anymore because I love baseball.. which is why I really can't understand why if a person loves baseball, they don't play The Show.

                          Has anyone noticed any sideline over the stands catches? Where the fielder reaches into the stands to make the catch? I see in the braves vs marlins game on the very first play the ball was literally a foot in the stands an the guy just looked at it, even in past older shows you could make catches like this I would love to do the jeter diving in the stands catch lol but i dont see it happining

                            Some videos I took today at Best Buy.



                            Granderson trying to steal home, plowing catcher.





                            Tailing single off the bat of Cano. Really shows the different tail/spin of the ball off the bat this year.





                            In-betweener infield single by Granderson. Really shows the added realism of the new hit system off the bat in this game. Plays like this that haven't really been a part of any other baseball game but just add so much realism.

                                Don't know if it's been asked or not...

                                But do player's stat FINALLY show the team the players played for last year or through the years?
