Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

Can any of the guys with the game take a picture/video of the new Youkilis stance? Or any other Red Sox stuff? I saw a quick gameplay vid with the Sox today but it only had Ellsbury, Crawford, Pedroia and some Beckett.

Cespedes isnt in the game right? What about Leonys Martin and his stats?

cespedes will most likely be in Knights roster, so your just gonna have to wait a few extra weeks to play as him

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

This is I guess directed at the guys who know most about the game (those at the community day).
Wondering if there can be a patch of some sort to allow hitters to wear sunglasses at the plate? Its so cool that they added them to the game a couple years ago, but strange that they never show up except in the field.

Also....and Red Sox fans may be SOL this year....wondering if a roster update can include Bobby V (and all other missing managers) once they appear in a MLB game? Or maybe at least a request to the devs to PLEASE make the current Sox manager not a dark skinned red head with a chin beard? All the newly added broadcast cuts to the manager are tough to watch with that guy.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

Are players like Scott Podsednik and Hector Luna who have MLB Experiece but didn't play in the majors last year in the Phillies minors? If not, there are they represented by any fake players that have the same years experience?

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

Approximately how long does it take for a hitter to go around the bases during a home run in TruBroadcast?

It shows it in real time so as long as it takes someone in real life. It does not skip scenes. ex. It won't show someone going around first and the next scene is him comming home. It shows him going around each base.

I believe the MLBPA agreement is that they need to be in the Majors last year to appear in licensed products (such as MLB The Show). So I do not think they will be in.

And SCEA does not create fictional players that represent actual players in the minor leagues.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

I really don't understand how only 7- 20 SP are considered acceptable for an MLB draft in the Show12. It just doesn't compute mathmatically, 30 teams with access to only 7 SP's. Please Knight, talk me off the ledge..........P

Is Victor Martinez on the Tigers roster now that he is going to miss the 2012 season due to injury?

What glitches have you guys came across yet?

He will be.

I don't know why they don't......I guess Chris would have to say why they aren't in the game.....he might chime in.

I can check(I'm playing a few games checking things out right at the moment).....but like someone else posted...there are no "dummy" players in place of them if they aren't in.

SCEA could ask permission for guys that have MLB experience. Sometimes they do have them on the FA list. I'll check.

I'm guessing the game has a set amount of players it needs for each position and will generate as needed because of retirements. Like I said....in 5 years most teams still had 19-20 pitchers in the organizations.....so the SP position probably didn't see a lot of retirement.

I saw V-Mart on the original default roster. I'm sure they will just put him in the minors for the updates.

What glitches have you guys came across yet?

If you read the impressions thread...the only thing I've seen so far is some skipping of the real time animations...nothing major.
One small contract bug....but it only applies to editing a roster. When moving a FA to a team(on that originated on the FA list 1/2) he will get "none" for a contract.
Once you take the roster and use it in franchise though....it assigns him an appropriate contract.
In limited time...the bugs/glitches looks pretty tight so far.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

Can you tell me something about leonys martis stats??

[metal134]

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

When viewing team stats in season/franchise/RTTS, is it still like it's been in the past where it just shows all teams 1-30 instead of being able to view by league separately (i.e. AL/NL, Eastern League/Southern League, etc.)?

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

thanks Knight,

whats your thought on a potential manager roster update? Not sure if they have ever done that before.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

As far as glitches goes....like Knight said... really nothing. And trust me I can usually find them. ;-) Don't want to jinx it too much. Maybe a few small logic tweaks I'd suggest, but looking tight.
