What r choices for Camera angles

It's the same as PS3.

You can either choose broadcast, or pre-made cameras, or customize your own.

Thanks for the impressions so far guys, what camera do you find best to use on the Vita Version so far?

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Vita Impressions Thread

We are looking at a pictures 3 times the size of the vita screen with the same resolution of 960X544. It is going to look pixelated.

These screenshots are approximately 13.3 x 7.5 inches while the vita is 4.3x2.4, approximately.

For those of you who are wondering what it's like to take MLB 12 The Show to your bedroom which is where I'm at with my earphones plugged into my Vita( the wife is snoring)firing the show back up for a late night game. My initial impression is one word. Awesome!!!!

Might not be as pretty as its big brother but damn it feels nice to have the option/luxury of being able to fire this game up no matter where I'm at.

You can't create your own camera's on the Vita version

True.

But there's a soccer (football) game out there (don't wanna name any names) that's practically the console version on the PS Vita.

And I heard it has all the presentations and nuts & bolts from the console version.

That game does look good on the vita. I played the demo and it is almost the same as the ps3 version. However, they did leave out a crucial gameplay feature. Not sure what it's called, but the new "contact" mode introduced in the 12 iteration on ps3 is not present on the vita version.

Also, the crowd in the demos was static and you basically don't see them while playing. Whereas in the Show the crowds are the ones in need of some graphical boost, in my opinion, and they are everywhere

Wow no auto replays of anything? Really on the fence with this one.

I thought the same thing... Though I would have loved to have had replays and presentations, I still really enjoy the game. I played for about 5 hours today- mixing up franchise and RTTS. There's still so much to love about it.

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Vita Impressions Thread

The more I play it, the more I'm enjoying the Vita version. The gameplay is great,and the 'pick up and have a go' factor is exactly what I was after.

Playing RTTS (SP for the White Sox) is great, and the 'quick play' and lack of automatic replays seems to be less of an issue in that mode, where I'm jumping quickly from one inning to another and the emphasis is on my performance.

I love the broadcast feel of the PS3 presentation, but I have to be honest, after a while I jump through a lot of the replays and other broadcast stuff, so I'm reasonably happy with the Vita presentation so far.

Other than what looks like the problems I'll have getting on-line (blasted on-line passes) as I'm not in the US, things look good for a season of portable MLB.

Yea I agree, loving the pick up and play nature of it (whether Vita in sleep mode during a longer game, or picking it up for a quick 3 inning exhibition).

I'm over the graphics disappointment now and though the lack of auto replay/presentation still grinds, I am quite happy jumping back to manual replays of anything worth watching again.

I stand corrected.

The funny thing is, I've not seen any dodgy graphics yet - maybe I've not played enough and in enough different ball parks, or maybe I'm not paying enough attention, but so far they've been great, and I've definitely not noticed anything like the worst examples posted here - has anyone determined exactly what scenarios cause the really bad graphics?

The further back the camera is- the worse the graphics get... So if you choose broadcast as a pitching view, the crowd gets pixelated. I've found the graphics look GREAT under these conditions:
Clear, day game: The lighting. shadows and reflections are awesome.
Pitcher FULL view: This looks as close to PS3 as the game gets... Crowd and player models look great.
DARK UNIFORMS: SUCH a difference here... If you have a light uniform on and it's a night /cloudy game.. The players don't look so hot. Now try playing with the warm up jerseys and look at the difference. Something about the lighting and shadows on the white uniforms looks very last gen- if it's a night game (day games look fine).
