How do you make your own camera angles or did I hear wrong? I see Custom 1-4.. and they all look the same... can you modify these?

during a game go to;

USER SETTINGS
CAMERAS
THEN HIT SQUARE

Eh sort of.

Starters will go 3 innings and increase their workload as Spring Training goes on (nice little deal there).

But currently playing Spring Training in Season Mode and after over a week there are several pitchers with no work. It seems the CPU still manages its bullpen like a real game after the starter is pulled.

They do sub in pinch hitters by the middle of the game but I haven't seen benchwarmers start games in the lineup. They are always pinch hitters and defensive replacements.

Also played a game against the Phillies and after D. Brown and Thome pinch hit, the CPU proceeded to have Thome play CF and Brown play 1B. Made very little sense.

Thank you for the response. Although the SP's increasing their workload sounds promising, the other lineup logic doesn't. I may just have to think of it as practice for me and think less about the CPU managing their lineups like real spring training to make it worthwhile.

I use autobaserunning, but with a man on first, the CPU never tries to steal second for me.

Do you know if autobaserunning only works when the ball is in play or if it s supposed to work even for stealing bases?
Thanks!

You have to prompt him to run.
L1 to take a bigger lead
L2 to give him the signal to steal.

I thought that this game had a hall of fame section? I'm not seeing it? I'm only in spring training so does it show up in regular season?

Does any one know how to chose the cpu's unis and I tried everything but it doesn't work?

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

I am a little confused with the create a team. Is it only with DD or can I play an exhibition game or franchise or season with my created team?

Nope, not anymore.

You should be able to move over to your opponent, select their unis, back out and go over to your team, select your unis and continue on.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

Hey everyone! I'm loving the show, but am seriously confused about why I'm not starting as a pitcher in RTTS. I played in double A with the Yankees (Trenton) where I had a 19-0 record with an ERA of 1.50 and was traded to the Dodgers along with Swisher for Ethier. I guess the Yankees were upgrading in RF, I get it. With the Dodgers' double A team I finished the season at 23-0 with an ERA of 1.40, leading the league in almost everything: Strikeouts, ERA, Wins, Losses, WHIP, etc. I was promoted to AAA in time for the postseason where it showed that I was ranked as the third best pitcher in the league, yet I was assigned to the bullpen. I clicked on interactions to speak with my manager about starting and was told that I'm not starter material.... Are you kidding me????? The only thing I could have possibly done wrong was I could not get my slugging percentage up which was one of my goals. Still.... I do not get it. How do you not start the third best pitcher in the league????????? Any help would be greatly appreciated... being a relief pitcher sucks.

Pretty sure there is nothing you can do about it other than just pitch well as a reliever. It's nothing to be upset over, you'll be starting soon enough.

Oh man that's lame! Russell told me at CES that there was a create a team in 12 but failed to mention that it's only for online play. Hopefully 13 lets us use our created team in exhibition at least.

How do you check if you installed the 5gb or the 10gb?

And how do you change to the 10gb if you installed the 5? Uninstall, reinstall?

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Q&A Thread

my question is how do you steal bases before the pitch?

the controls screen says D pad + (i think thats right analogue but not sure?) btw i'm using classic base running. so i guess its the same for both pre pitch and during the play. thanks in advance

You hold the button of the runner which you want to run, then you press the button on the dpad to where you want your runner to run.

Runner on first, you want him to steal 2nd early. Hold circle, press up, he'll run.

Go to Game Data Utility under Game in the XMB. Highlight the MLB 12 The Show icon, press triangle, choose information. If the size says 9954 MB, then you installed the 10 GB.

I would say that uninstalling and re-installing the game would be the best bet as to changing it to 10gb.
