Re: Major League Baseball 2K12 Video - Chris Snyder Interview, First Glimpses of Game

Looks like more of the same if you ask me. Could put this video side by side with 2k11 and the only way you would be able to tell the difference is the new icons for the different pitches and different colors for the stat overlays.

The same unrealistic bull**** from the last year is present in the game.
- First foul ball of the game @ 0:23 you can see a graphical slowdown when the ball is coming off the bat. This was always a problem in last years game.
- Triple to RCF @ 1:15 the runner is at second base just as the cf gets the ball. Runner makes third base as the cut off man gets the ball. Either the runner is too fast or the fielder is too slow. Sure, slider MIGHT be able to fix this but why the **** would you put out a marketing video to show off the game with such a glaring oversight?
- Later in the video @ 2:02 there's a double to right center. The outfielder takes an extra step before going into the throw animation. This extra step and slow throwing animation was there last year which allowed for too many extra base hits and especially too many triples.

Love how the person from 2k they are interviewing is a marketing director. That's all this game is this year. Different wrapper, marketing, but the same old tired bull**** at its core.

wow its fine what are you complaining about and this is just the 1st gameplay you seen

All I care about is simulation baseball... put some stick figures out there and I'm still happy. I believe that presentation is improved, AI will be improved, and that some small buggy things from last year will also get improved. If that's the case, I'm going to enjoy this game... I think 2K is finally getting this title to where they can at this point. perfect? no, not by far, and indeed many limitations for a lot of you guys who will find ANYTHING to complain about in a video game.... But if the framerate issues from last year get cleaned up, and they "smooth" out the animations, this promises to be a fun game...

The thing I still get discouraged about is that last play before the video ended where Peralta drove and threw the runner out while on one knee. Seems like that animation for fielders has been in for awhile now. How many times do you really see that in a game or even a season?

At last I'm seeing some nice player animations, but it's gonna be the hitting system to make or break the game for me and they better overhauled it.

Didin't notice 2D crowd, but are we sure this is 360 footage and not PC? They're all still stuck to their seats however, how come 2k cannot implement dynamic attendance without affecting framerate, like the other game does?

That is annoying for sure. It's almost as annoying as guys who can't keep their comments focused on the thread topic, and feel they have to stir the pot and type things like "a lot of you guys who will find ANYTHING to complain about in a video game."

yeah the fans and attendance need to get fixed
i never been to a game where everybody is stuck like glue together and sitting down cheering everybody

Game seems slightly smoother, base running is still too fast, didnt like how the CF just picked up the ball and fired it to the cutoff man accurately without even looking, graphics look a little better but still needs more work. But gotta get my hands on the game to truly see how it feels.

What ? In 2K, all they offer is timing based hitting. That means you just press a button or press the analog stick up. It doesn't get any easier than that.

That's all I need.
I want my hitters to be good based on their stats, not my particular skills (or lack thereof) on a controller.

I had to laugh when the producer was speaking about 'the little things' and making sure it was realistic. This is at the same time they show Young's triple with the crowd glued to their seats.
Hopefully it's because it's from an early build.

i think its more challenging to time it and hit with the analog stick then to guess where the pitch will land and press a button

Don't go there. Guess Pitch can be turned off. I don't ever play with it on. Plus, the analog swing requires stride timing and zone hitting requires quick reflexes.

I wouldn't have had to rebutt if you hadn't commented in the first place, would I now?

What about analog zone hitting?

[bosnian19]

Re: Major League Baseball 2K12 Video - Chris Snyder Interview, First Glimpses of Game

You haven't heard of analog zone hitting?

while on 2k i get on and it can be competitive offline
