Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

Did they add any new sounds of the show situations? I have searched around but not found anything.

Additionally, did they fix the glitch where sounds of the show for away pitcher mound visit didn't work?

Any response is much appreciated. Thanks.

Would anyone mind posting a video of Jordan Walden pitching delivery, please and thank you.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

knight has a better understanding of progression so maybe he can address this better than me, but I can tell you no video game in any sport has a perfect progression system.

What I can tell you though is if you are a sim franchise guy, which I would say I am, you will be doing your self a disservice not getting this game. It is so much more complete and "whole" compared to last year that its like a whole new mode. I may even go back to 1 player mode this year so I can have the drafts back with out having to pick for the CPU. Only reason I probably won't is I love being able to see other teams lineups and rotations.

I am going to ask for the ability to see them even with single team control for next year.

Well, this stinks. I just saw this in the impressions thread and thought you might like to know.

Draft
- Draft class has exactly seven starting pitchers.
- No speed at all for MIF's in the class. Sort of disappointing since I thought they mentioned re-jigging the draft logic. Not a single CF with a speed rating above 40. The fastest player in the draft class is a catcher.
- Seemed that CIF/COF players had more power which seems right. The variety of player available is definitely higher than last year, just it really only relates to contact/power as they're all slow and are average fielders at best.
- Didn't see if the draft cuts off in the middle since I backed out by mistake.

Somewhat disappointed in the draft class tbh...I don't see much of a difference from the past couple of years.

Progression
- if you're young and good, you'll progress. Seems to be the same as last year which isn't a bad thing

Draft: To be blunt, disappointing. Seems the exact same as last year, and there are severe shortages of certain positions (like SP).

Not good.

Can anyone else comment on this?

Hi, 1st time poster. I can't freaking wait for this game.

Does anyone have any input as to how the pulse pitching will work in a 2 player head to head game? My buddy and I love having intense rivalries where we sit in the same room and play against each other. If we use to pulse pitching mode, won't the other person be able to see where we are aiming our pitches?

Pulse Pitching is the bees knees!

Perfect mix of player input and ratings!!!

And you get the watch the beautiful pitching animations play out!

This is why im really leaning towards going with it this year instead of my old favourite meter.

I use Timing hitting because i like the fact ratings play a part as well as my skill, i like the fact Pulse offers the same inviting recipe for pitching.

I think you, and 42's videos, have sold it to me!

Plus it'll be nice to move on from meter, and, as you mention, the other big bonus is getting to see the full pitching animations, something you couldnt do with meter as you have to concentrate on the meter while the pitch winds up.

Thanks for tipping me over the edge fellas, Pulse here i come!

7 starting pitchers in the draft is not bad considering the small amount of players in the draft. Any more and the league will be flooded with starting pitchers. I am happy with that. In the past there was too many starting pitchers, which in turn would cause budgets to get out of whack. There needs to be a balance. Remember the draft is not 60 rounds long. Think of things in respect to the game not real life.

Players that are A potential progress faster than B which progress faster than C. This is what the system is. So of course an A will progress as they should.

Like I said before certain potential players A and B should be rated higher at draft, which are not. If they were you would see higher attributes like you are asking for.

I THINK for the most part the balance of positions is fine this year. Incoming top prospects should be higher.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

When you import a player over a real MLB player this year, does the imported player get the MLB players career stats like last year?

Hopefully not.

It's up to you if you want to overlook obvious issues. As we discussed, people entering the league with a max of 40 speed is a big problem. He also said progression is the same. So, based on that, I have every reason to expect to not see my pitchers progress because it was broke last year with certain attributes not moving.

And Im sorry but 7 starting pitchers isn't enough. Not with the high level of attrition in this game. Most retirements aren't even due to age. Most are probably due to guys not being very good. You have to replace those guys in the minor leagues.

My only remaining hope is that something was done to improve progression, where certain attributes would see virtually no improvement. Maybe that guy you mentioned can elaborate on this.

BTW, I'm glad you're liking the game but these are the things that are going to bother me. I'm not thrilled about the drafts producing nothing better with than a 40 spd prospect but, as annoying as it is, I can kind of look past it even though it's stupid. What would be the real deal breaker for me though is the problems that we've discussed with progression.

Well that is your opinion, but I have seen and simmed with this engine for hours and hours at CD and here the past few days. Alot of players play until almost 40. like I said there is some issues, but nothing that is crazy, where I go WOW.

Ultimately I can give you my opinion and the decision is up to you.

Have the high number of trades early in he season been scaled back? Still looks like too many trades in May & June

That is the thing. 42 was a meter guy. So he naturally fell in love with Pulse, I was a classic guy, and fell in love with Pulse.

It like a perfect blend of both. You have a bit more control over classic, and you get the sense of meter but can watch the pitching animations instead of watching a meter.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

Same as before.

Oh okay. Hopefully they change that for 13. Thanks for the reply.

Eh, there were only 8-10 trades total (including very minor deals). That seems realistic.

Per the other stuff:

I do think 7 SP is an issue. I didn't sim 10 years down the road, but there's still 10+ of every other position in the draft class. And there's only 1-2 LF on a roster, and at least 5 SP. I'm wondering if a few years down the road there's a lot of RP in AA/AAA rotations. I might check that.

I didn't see any issues with progression. I did see all non-specific pitch attributes progress for pitchers. I will sim a couple seasons tonight and make another post in the impressions thread regarding progression.

I've simmed to 2021 twice and the pitchers look fine. Don't forget starting pitchers in the MLB are relatively young right now. Then there are the ones that are in the minors and the old guard. The way the draft works is it replaces retiring players.
