MLB 12 The Show - Vita Impressions Thread

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Vita Impressions Thread

My very first game on the Vita, I switched to buttons after my 5th throwing error.

Is anyone else having a majorly difficult time throwing with the VITA version. It seems a very high 30-50% of my infielders throw produce a yellow or red circle. The right thumbstick seems overly sensitive to me.

I've tried taking the throwing difficulty down to rookie, but I'm still getting too many throwing errors. Pretty much a game killer right now. PS3 is no problem.

Thanks for your help

For people playing season/franchise on Vita...

Have you guys been seeing rain days often enough? Well "often" is subjective of course, but after playing roughly 300 CPU vs CPU games in April exclusively on Vita, I think there have been only a couple rain days.

This was a bug in 11, but I thought was fixed (at least on PS3 I believe).

If people are seeing the same issue, I may file a bug report....

I haven't seen a single one. I'm playing a mini fantasy season between the two with the reds. 29 games iirc.

Hmmm strange. Have people on PS3 been complaining about this?

I'll post as a bug in case anyways...

Why when I go the the online gamerooms, are they mixed with PS3 players? I thought they were supposed to be seperate. It's annoying, I have to post on the board that I have a Vita and wait around to see if anyone else does, since most people have a PS3. Is anybody else bothered by this?

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Vita Impressions Thread

I know this is an impressions thread but I need to know if there is an online users guide for the Vita version? My game came with nothing but an online code. There is literally no manual at all and I can't seem to fine one built into the game.

I'd like to know specifically how to lead off further and how to leap for a homerun ball. When I run back to the fence my player stays facing the wall.....I press the RT and he dives into the wall....he doesn;t leap. WHen I try to lead off....I just outright steal.

Any help would be appreciated.

After you start the game, press PS button. That'll move you to the screen where you can choose "the show nation", "continue (game)", and "mlb the show facebook page." you'll see three icons on top, and the one with the question mark is the online manual.

Yeah, I've filed a bug report for Vita. I'm curious if people on PS3 are finding the same thing...

I know several people on the PS3 have had games played in the rain in their Franchise.

Lead off with right analog stick. If you want to lead off first, push the stick to the left. The right trigger does make the player jump, make sure you are close enough to the wall when you press it.

For those who use Timing hitting, do you aim the left stick where the pitch is it just use the buttons to swing?

You just press the button, otherwise it would be Zone batting. There's no PCI in timing to move around. If you're asking if I move the L-stick just for fun while in Timing, then yeah I do, but I rarely play Timing only.

All you have to do is press X. The players' rating, and your timing of the swing, will determine where the PCI winds up and how it squares up a pitch.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Vita Impressions Thread

40 games into my season and haven't had a rain delay yet. Incidently I bought a used PS3 on the cheap, a used tv, (I had sold my other PS3 b/c couldn't get much game time in due to family and all) and The Show. One thing that stands out huge is it's tougher to make decent contact with the ball on the Vita. Used my Vita sliders on the PS3 and I transformed from a minor league hitter into Albert Pujols. Like the game better on the Vita. It's tougher to hit, field and make good throws in the field. My pitchers are more effective on the Vita though
