I've been playing MLB 12 a lot lately and for a game that prides itself in realism I can't get around the fact that you only throw one pitch for an intentional walk. We can now throw 8 warm up pitches every time we bring in a new pitcher, so I think it's time that we get to actually throw 4 pitches out of the zone for an intentional walk.

And I also hope they changed the outfield depth logic in MLB 13, it is messed up in MLB 12.

You can pitch out 4 times, it doesn't look exactly like an intentional walk but its there. It could be an option to do 4 pitches for broadcast mode or something and one pitch for fast play. That seems reasonable.

In principle a hitter can still hit an intentional ball pitch, so it may not be a bad idea to make some skill involved in it as well.....

Spoiler

Running game/holding runners, bunting, etc. are still a few areas the game can improve I think...

As long as these tings are options I don't see why not. Would be cool for RTTS pitchers.

People have been asking for a pickoff rating too. That would be a cool first step.

I've often been frustrated with the outfield depth. there are way too many times when the 2nd baseman dives for a grounder he doesn't get to and the RFer picks it up 4 feet behind him. on other guys, it's totally fine...i'm just guessing that the logic has them a little too far in for 'normal' hitters. my thought at least.

From what I remember it was a problem that SDS just never got around to addressing. We're not the only ones that noticed it. For power hitters the outfielders would be shallow by default. So many times I lost because a hitter hit a deep fly ball that should have been caught but wasn't because the game decided to play the outfielders shallow.

Less hits up the middle and hitting the pitcher, more animations of pitchers getting out of the way

If pitchers get hit with line drives do they automatically come out? I'm tired of hitting guys in the face and then they continue to keep pitching.

No. With the new hitting engine (or timing adjustment) it felt like there are less balls hit up the middle... although I might've been hallucinating.. We'll see....

They actually shouldn't come out. Pitchers in real life don't come out all the time if they get hit. I think the way they have it now is the only way they can have it.

There are certain situations when they should come out though. I don't know if you've seen the animation, but sometimes a ball hits pitcher's head... (cannot believe such a horrific animation actually made it into the game...

Spoiler

...hahaha) and he actually totally collapses in pain. But then he continues to pitch afterward, as if nothing has happened.

Pitchers shouldn't come out so often, but the game can still tie injuries to whatever happens in the game better IMO.....

Have you guys seen the Kotaku example of this animation? Holy smokes! His RTTS character gets freaking drilled, and right before it happens, this foreshadowing ambulance siren goes off in the background. Then, whamo!!!

That one actually made me cringe. And chuckle a bit too.

Yeah I hit a line drive hitting a pitcher in the head multiple times this year and they never came out. If a guy gets hit in the head they come out. Thats all I ask

Yeah I saw that one as well... but I remember that I actually had this play in one of my own games and thought omg what did I just see... I think I've seen this happening twice in my own games.

One animation along this line that hasn't made it in, is to someone taking it in his nuts..... but I understand the devs thinking that they don't wish that to happen on anyone, even on a computer generated player.... hahahaha
