    Re: MLB 12 The Show - Examples in Gameplay: Part 1

    Thanks for the videos. I'm very pleased with how well the ball physics appear to be done. Not only did they get the directional aspect of physics, but the ball actually appears to have have weight in all areas of the field (bouncing off the glove, wall, and the rotations)

    The idea of not morphing through players this year really does have me excited. Looking forward to picking up my copy on release day!

        These videos are great. Though I like the "gameplay" videos, I'm essentially watching them to see these things, which you guys have already picked out. Thanks!

          Another little thing but why is Ryan Howard covering second base on a close double? No need for a double cut on a ball like that. Besides, he should only be trailing the runner if anything, not covering second for a tag play. Other than that though, looks cool.

          Video #3 BTW

                Things are looks pretty sweet. I like in the first video how the ball spins more after hitting the ground. BTW This might be for 13 wish list but how cool would helmets popping off when rounding the bases or sliding head first?

                  Never noticed 3 and 4 weren't in previous MLB game.

                  #2 is the best though. Hated how the collisions never really happened despite guys walking right into each other(and sometimes,partially through).

                  Can we call off plays in this years game? And if not, hopefully the collision doesn't mess up some plays(such as pop flies inbetween CF/SS and bunts where 3B/C/P all run for it)

                    Stunning. I thought for sure in the first video the ball was going to hit the bag like I had seen before and thought.. oh no, how many times can that really happen! And to my delight it took a funny hop and bounced over the bag. The collision detection was nice to see too in one of the videos. I hope this will happen between 2 defensive players? The ball physics and the ability to see the ball out of the pitcher's hand better along with pulse pitching has me the most excited this year.

                    I wasn't able to attend CES like I do every year and hadn't seen much video till recently and must say that I'm excited once again. Thanks SCEA.

                      Yes those videos are absolutely awesome but that relay was a thing of beauty and in the first video how Gardner circled around the ball and fielded and threw all in one smooth motion. Sweet!

                        Great stuff!!! I hated Physics in high school and then in college I was required to take it 2 semesters of it as a pre-vet prerequisite. However, real physics is just so beautiful in sports video games!

                          I've gotta say, videos like these are a real testament to the quality of the product and the quality of the development team at SCEA SD's studio.

                          The fact that their '11 product was so good that they could even allocate those kind of resources into this kind of research and development (for a detail as seemingly as minute as collision awareness and baseball physics) makes me proud to say I'll be a dedicated follower and purchaser of MLB The Show, for life.

                            The backspin video brings back memories of the lefty topspin bug in MVP 04. Hope no such new physics = wonky physics situation occurs here, but it certainly doesn't look like it'll be a problem!

                              The "Ball Physics" video, that was a foul ball called fair....bad call.

                                The ball was over the centerfielder's head to one of the deeper parts of the ballpark. I believe both middle infielders become cutoff men (one to backup the other) and the first basemen wheels to second base to cover if no one else is on base.
