MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Created myself as a SP drafted to the Suns, the Marlins farm system. Power guy with a 95-96 MPH fastball out of the gate, a circle change and a slider with nasty break.

Posted up a 1.58 ERA through 6 starts in AA using PP on All-Star difficulty default sliders. PP is very much a challenge but seems to make the games much more realistic.

I really wish they would have improved the broadcasters sound bytes as it is still very repetitive. The crowd is MUCH better though as have not seen 5 of the same person in the same section of the stands like last year.

All in all it is so much better than 11. A lot of the bugs are fixed. The gameplay is smooth using the 10gb install.

Can't wait to create my catcher this year and see how it goes.

Query?

What camera do you guys use for your pitchers? The default catcher view or do you change to an over the shoulder view? I find the catcher view to be my lest favorite but best for PP pitching accuracy.

Whenever I pitch, I use broadcast. Gives me that realistic feel.

3B drafted by the mets...started in AA, after a month I was traded to the Indians. Played most of the year in AA then got called up to AAA near the end of the season.

Signed a 1 year contract to stay with the Indians, they traded me to the Rays a few weeks into the 2nd season. Got demoted to AA but by the end of the year I was called up to the Show and went 3-13 as a bench player.

Signed a 1 year contract to stay with the Rays, started the 3rd season as an Utility player and in limited action am batting 2-7 so far. (no starts, just Pinch hits) one of those 2 hits was my only homer in the bigs, and it was an inside the park grand slam lol.

Yup. My all time favorite view. I just wish the target was a little bigger so I could see the hot and cold spots.

But agreed it is the most realistic.

Power 3B got drafted to the Cubs. I play on Veteran through the minors, only sliders I change are Pitch Speed to 2 and i've been messing with Strike Frequency to get more balls have it at 4 right now. Named him Jimmy Graham cause you know he played baseball at the U....oh wait.

I wanted to do a speedier CF with the makings of a 5 tool guy, but I just didn't like the way they started out.

Made a Right Hander SP, got drafted to the Giants. Idk how I like it, way too easy on veteran atleast and I stayed out there way longer then I should have but I was on a roll in my first start.

I may try a CP, if not eventually i'll get to my speedy guy and decide who I like as my 2nd RTTS guy cause I love my 3B

No, you can't change your primary position but you can change your secondary position in player editor

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Anybody else having trouble with equipment? I made my guy, gave him eye black and the old style helmet, but when he comes out, he has no eye black and one of the newer style helmets. What gives?

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

is there a way to view league transactions and news easily(or at all) in RTTS? I'm currently still in AA, but would like to try and keep up with what's big trades/signings/etc happen at the MLB level. I swear I've entered every menu option in RTTS but to no avail? I remember being able to view this in past years, I believe, but the last game I had was 09.

When you're in the main menu, look at the bottom right of your screen. Tap Right Analog stick to the right and it cycles through MLB, AA, AAA leagues.

I think when you are in the minors there are certain things you can use. I noticed that every single player in AA where's the new style.

As for eye black, not sure. Is he a pitcher? If so not sure you can wear eye black.

He's a short stop, I was wondering if it was something like you are describing where minor leagues get certain equipment. Which is weird but fine, I just want to know if it's some rule or the game.
