MLB 12 The Show - Examples in Gameplay: Part 2

[mhanson93]

I personally don't think these videos are all that great. I enjoy playing MLB 2K12 a million times more than The Show.

Thanks for your insightful contribution, troll... **yawn**

#5 and 7 are real good(especially 5. I hated how the guys took forever to get a ball like that, most times I let up infield hits cause of it)

Don't get #6 or 8 though.

I wasn't sure about #8 either. I watched it a few times and it looks like they were just showing how the spin (and trajectory) of the ball changes with each bounce on the grass (or the bat). Subtle, but cool nonetheless...

Correct, they are just showing you how the ball reacts when struck and when it makes contact with the surface how the spin changes. More or less showing you the ball has personality and it is not just a prefixed outcome.

Must be blinded by the $1 million gimmick as your "million times better" claim. Go back to your part of the forum...

No more cheap CPU bunt hits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta give SCEA credit for actually going into the game's code and making changes that individually may seem subtle, but collectively add up to the most realistic feeling baseball game I have ever seen.

Shouldn't the ball be bouncing off to the right, at least a little, after hitting the ground in the video #8? It's as if the rotation of the ball has nothing to do with the movement of the ball after the first bounce.

[Battman]

@thevaliantx: maybe it is not in the game. But in this video i don't see much sidespin and therefore no reason for the ball to bounce off to the right. What I really like is that the ball loses the little spin it had after the first bounce.

just wondering if anyone knows or have any idea if the new playoff format for both league adding another wild card team this year were added already in the game or do we have to wait for a patch? i've heard 2k12 supported it already, dont know how true but, can't wait for the SHOW tomorrow...

If they do add it, it will be in patch form. It is not in retail.

Nobody knew the details of it until this past week.

If 2K does have it at launch or close to it, I worry about what was sacrificed in development in other areas of the game to make a ton of "guess" scenarios to go into a franchise mode.

But I was under the impression they would patch it in later as well.
