Didn't see any mods online, hope this suffices. Thanks go out to sroz for picking up my copy since I have a 3+ hour round trip to get the game early. As usual sroz is the man!

Any more presentation options when a player reaches a milestone(like 200 career homers)? Last year was pretty dull.

Has the batter's eye bar been added to progressive field in the game?

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

Not zone. Most likely timing but I will try analog with the new stride slider down to 0. I'm not good at hitting, especially if I have to do more than one thing. I may even bump it down to Veteran for hitting if I struggle too much. I didn't realize that pitch speed changes by difficulty until this year. So a slower Veteran may be an option for me if pitch speed at 0 on All-Star is still too fast for me.

So, hate to report, but it looks like the Pitch Speeds are the same. At least not noticeably slower on 0 Pitch Speed. On HOF Zone, I can hit on 0 Pitch Speed but anything above 1 or 2 is a struggle, just like last year. All-Star Zone default Pitch Speed was a bit much but at 0 it looked very similar to 0 Pitch Speed in 11.

I think that the solution is to go to Veteran, zero out the Pitch Speed and work your way up from there. As you play more, you will pick up pitches a little quicker and the new camera angle seems to be a help with some of the other guys on picking up pitches as well (though I don't care for it much myself, FWIW). You and I played on the same Pitch Speed in MLB 2K11 so I think over time, we'll be around the same in this game.

Also, I use Analog hitting and default All-Star Pitch Speed was fine for me. It seems the Analog hitting system is a little more responsive than Timing and Zone. Too early for me to make a judgement on ZAB at this point.

I'm batting AS with pitch speed at 2 and so far so good. I'm usually at 0 pitch speed. I use zone BTW.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

why do people put the speed so low?

[thaSLAB]

Does Jacob Turner, Andy Dirks, and Duane Below from the Tigers have their real pictures in the game?

Yes... to all 3.

Yep.

Progressive looks different than I remember the last few years. I can tell it got some love this year.

I put the pitch speed at 0 in 11 because I made the opposing pitcher look like Randy Johnson with it higher. Just don't have the reaction time these days.

What kind of question is this?

If it's comfortable for them to play at a lower speed, why not?

This game has a TON of options for people to work with - that's the beauty of it!

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

Well said 42, i dont think anyone is more macho cause their pitch speed is high. When you get into your 30's work all day, its much more fun to enjoy the game.

Great questions so far, cant wait.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

I wasnt trying to look "macho" i just though default was pretty balanced i keep it there.
