    Re: MLB 12 playable at Best Buy

    Thanks for the pics!

    So does this mean there won't be a pre-release demo the year?

          Is there more variety in the fielding animations, diving, booted balls, miscues, etc?

          Also, did they tweak the way in which outfielders chase down fly balls to add more excitement and dynamics in trying to catch it?


          And has anyone noticed if they added more retro uniforms for example, the many different variations of the Pirates, Pinstripes, black and canary yellow unis. SF Giants, Braves, etc

          I thought I read somewhere that they were adding more this year

            if someone goes to one of the best buys with the demo, you'd become internet famous if you made the game play one of the songs on the sound track (The Mars Volta - Zed and Two Naughts), recorded it, and posted it here.. k, thanks

              I believe the harder the difficulty and some of the pitcher's ratings effect the speed of the pulse.

                    They may be slowly rolling them out.
                    I checked Best Buy in Parker, Park Meadows, and Colorado BLVD/Mexico..... no MLB the Show.
                    Keep me in the loop if you find it. I will do the same.

                        Instead of everyone driving all over the place to see if it is playing, just call and see if it is being featured. I called the one near me and it was not featured yet. They said next week.

                          I'll do my best to answer questions but I'm afraid I'm not going to be too much help. A Best Buy kiosk isn't the best place to really evaluate the game. Not for me anyway

                          I can comment on pulse pitching, though. It moves a lot faster than I would've anticipated and I often had it stop so large that I thought that I was doing it precisely opposite the way it was supposed to be done.

                          The fact that, for at least part of it, I was using Charlie Morton probably didn't help.

                          I'm sure it's just something that I'll need to get used to ... or go back to analog pitching.

                          Oh yeah, analog pitching has a little bit of a different graphic overlay. The interface is EXACTLY the same. The meter just looks slightly different.

                              I know for sure it's out the Grand Forks one. I just went there with a friend and switched off every inning. Pulse pitching is difficult to time. The only thing that I didn't like on the game (very small thing) was that on the top right-hand corner where it has the diamond, it shows your player running after they hit and the players running did not have their jersey numbers on their backs.

                              Me and my friend were wondering: Is the game at the kiosk not the same as the one that will be released on March 6th? Also we asked if they had the game in the back already and if there was any way we could get one if there was and the worker said that they didn't have any yet.

                                what i found surprising, is that Best Buy leases the PS3 space to developers, the guy i talked to said they don't even touch the displays and they are changed out by the people who rent the space. The game currently on display at the best buy near me has been on display for a few weeks, and he said what you heard, that since the other best buy locations are stating to get it, that the others should follow soon
