MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread - Operation Sports Forums

Thanks to everyone who’s been jumping in as early users of the OS app! We’ve put together a new user feedback and feature request survey and we’re asking folks on iOS and Android to share their thoughts, ideas and any issues they’ve noticed. The goal is to help guide upcoming improvements and give the community a real say in what comes next.

If you’ve been using it regularly, this is a great chance to let the developers know what feels good and what could use a little work. Your feedback has a real impact on what we prioritize moving forward.

For those of you who haven’t had time to check out the app yet, we’d love for you to give it a try and send over any feedback once you’ve spent some time with it.

Thank you.

Please answer this question. Will the braves fans have foam tomahawks in their hands and do the chop and the chant in the game?

Agreed there. My comment was meant about the probability of back to the pitcher (up the middle) is more true to life physics now.

Im assuming that API was off too thats why there was no catcher recommendation or head nods from Johnson pitching?

Hardcore Brett, i like it!

Do you find the lack of ability to control velocity much of a hindrance though?

As you know ive always been a strictly meter man only but i like the look of Pulse, does it take ratings more into account than meter?

I guess the only thing holding me back is say, not being able to really ramp up on a fastball when you want to, what do you think?

Considering Pulse Pitching, will the pulse get slower and become smaller when the pitcher becomes "in the zone"?

I'm like you, I've always been a Meter guy but the mode was getting a little stale for me and when they introduced PP at CD, I fell in love! Wasn't a fan of the art at first but it grew on me - the mechanic itself was done REALLY well, IMO.

As far as velocity is concerned - yeah, I too like to ramp it up when push comes to shove but I'm pretty confident that we'll see it in the PP equation for MLB '13! Was hoping for a Classic Pitching type deal where velocity is determined by how long you hold the button down for.

Slab, I got this from the pics thread. I guess apparently we can't ask question in there. But did this cut scene pic come from the game being idle, or was it just a regular cut scene during the game?

Yeah, we were kind of cluttering Pic & Vid thread with banter.

To answer your question, YES it came from the idle cutscenes. I also mentioned that I have an suggestion on my list for futures versions to have these type of things show up in real-time, when coming back from "commercial breaks" in-game.

I was really impressed (referring to your video) with how difficult it looked to time the Pulse being at its smallest. I even noticed you taking your time in order to not lob up a meatball! It looks like it adds pressure to the user and this is a good thing.

Speaking of my surprise in how quickly the Pulse was moving, was that on HOF or...gulp...Legend?

Anyway. I looks a lot harder than I thought it would!

HOF, doubt I'll bump up to Legend with PP - at least anytime soon, lol.

We'll see...
