    As much as I complain about the game, I find it much less frustrating than in past years. I really like what they've done with control schemes from a batting standpoint. I don't pitch, so I couldn't tell you what's going on in that side of the game.

    I just wish they didn't make franchise such a snooze fest.

      Try a new control scheme, or new camera angles. This game comes with a bunch of options, might as well get some bang for your buck.

        I just gave my game away to a friend. I got my money's worth. I played an insane amount for a month straight.

        If you're bored with it give it to a friend. It's a heckuva game.

          When I get a little ragged from playing too much, I go the the stats page and just stare at my accomplishmets for hours. I'm then ready for more action. Love the game!

            The physics and dancing "perfect" strike zone have me just plain tired of this game. Hopefully a patch soon. But for me, RttS always makes up for some of the issues and I'm just waiting for a final OSFM roster to start my RttS.

              The correlation is that it's a baseball game. It's not meant to be played for 6-8 hours a day. Most games take an hour or so, so try just playing a game a day and keep pace with the regular MLB schedule. Other than that, why buy it if you know its a baseball game that really can't be anything else than a baseball game

                  I get bored with it occasionally as well.(also frustrated at times)

                  So, I usually just go play something else. I play MMOs too, so maybe I'm just used to doing the same thing over and over.

                  Something I have found to be fun at times. If your PS3 is connected to the net. Download some demos off the PSN. It's not a full game..but it does help to find fun, new games to purchase at a later date. And often times it will help kill the boredom.

By the time you're ten games in you should have them tweaked to your liking and not even 5% of the season is done.

                    Also, panicking about statistics is bad. They'll want accurate OPS, but do it at the expense of wins and losses (the most important statistic).
                    Yeah I'm still working on trying to find the perfect sliders but I'm doing it while playing games in my franchise mode.

                    I've never played all 162 before but it's enticing.

                      I've done it a couple times on MVP and once on 2k7 (maybe it was 2k8). I decided I'm really going to give the Show a shot this year on franchise mode, but I have an impossible time picturing myself actually play a game in 2013 so I have little motivation for 2012.

                        (Smart-*** answer to OP) Would you like grenade launchers? Scantily clad women? Cool dragons?

                        (straight answer to OP) I do not understand your "boredom." It's baseball. It's billed as the most realistic baseball game on the market. And it delivers that, better and better each year. Do you like baseball?

                          i think i have just decided to wait for the patch, then play along with the real season, and give up on going to 2013 in-game.
                          That might kill some of the sameness I am feeling, we shall see.

                            I am getting a little board after I just got Gran Turismo, FIFA, and Skyrim the other day. So for a little entertainment, I went back to MLB 12 The Show.

                              I can't say I'm bored but I haven't been playing it as much as years past. I played all spring training testing/messing with sliders. Now I have a set I like and I'm just waiting for the patch to hopefully fix schedule times and OSFM Opening day to hit and then I'm back full force!

                                You guys are wasting time. For one, who even knows a patch will come out and secondly, the patches from previous years you didn't have to restart your franchise for the patch to take effect.
