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

be much the same 2k11
It’s only fair to add that they were not told about the problem until the last minute
So, did their efforts pay off?
Many fans have taken a great interest in his new game 2k12.
We all have disappointments
No wonder they are so sore and dour
I never thought they’d put it in black and white on the front page
We foresee no changes to the program.

I'm guessing you don't really care about staying on O.S.....so this won't matter....
But why not reserve our "fact" based opinions until we see more footage or.....OMG...PLAY THE GAME!

I seriously never have any idea what you're even talking about.



At any rate, I'll wait to see an actual gameplay vid, but it definitely wasn't an impressive one minute for me. I do still love how the pitcher looks and animates at the mound however... 2k definitely does that well.

It's all a wait and see right now.

Maybe for 2K6, but not for 2K5. The biggest factor in 2K5 was the confidence bar, which IMO if there was a slider for that so I could put it at, oh I don't know, 1... that would have been very helpful in diminishing its effect that it had on the game.



This makes sense, I guess. Although, that's almost like saying all sliders should be moot since the game already has ratings for every aspect of the game for every player. I still see how it could be put in.

At least the sliders still work.

Yeah, a perfect game wouldn't need as many sliders, so it's actually a good thing that they've refined certain areas of the game enough that they're able to take some sliders out and still have it play realistically. Something more general, such as outfielder speed, can still be ratings based and still have global sliders to fine tune it to adjust difficulty, but the AI pitching tendency stuff doesn't really need to have sliders if they have it right by default, and they did a good job with it in 2K11, so the IE system has come a long way.

He seemed upset that 2K didn't lick him (according to his earlier poem) so I think his concerns go deeper then the game...

Seriously mpgm, find another translation program, these have gone beyond funny now...

I had such high hopes for this mlb2k12. What a shame.
It doesn't tell the whole story
<AUTOLINK search="trailer">mlb2k12 trailer now?
We’ll have to see how it goes.</AUTOLINK>

Looks pretty good to me! Recently dusted off Mlb 2k11 and am having a blast.

Yikes, this game graphically looks gross... like 2k10 (I never had 2k11)

This looks like an original xbox game... Not trying to stur anything up or cause trouble this game just visually looks awful.

what are you talking about?
just from this little gameplay you see
the graphics got improved

I seen some improvements in that vid, my real be complaint for last year was the fielding was to automatic. I hope they fixed that for this years game

Yes, there were sliders for separate IF and OF running speed, and throwing as well, check here:

http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-pitching.html

And you can use custom sliders online, if you aren't playing ranked.

I apologize, I misspoke.

In online leagues, which I'm referring to, even with the sliders for running speed set to 0, there was no major difference. Especially for infielders who still had super speed unless it was Manny Ramirez playing SS.

The lack of hit variety made it pretty difficult to find holes in the infield unless it was hammered through the 4 or 6-hole or was a bleeder up the middle. 1st basemen still warp to catch most everything within 15 feet of them, usually without even having to dive.

On top of that, for throwing, you could put accuracy at 0 and make the meter as hard as possible and it was still easy to pinpoint throws from the field. I expect this to be improved though judging by their emphasis on throwing.

The 5-point increments need to be switched to 1-point like NBA and allow for a greater extreme at 0 and 100. If I set fielder speed to 0, they should barely be able to move and 100 should play akin to The Bigs.

I'm excited. Glad we got some footage even if it was only a few seconds.

Player speed seems to be a tough one for 2K to balance which is odd since you would think that would be an easy stat to translate into a video game. They still have a lot of time to work on it though and it shouldn't be overly difficult to fine tune unlike animations or hitting logarithms.

The 2K series has always been solid fun. It has just lacked polish. If they concentrated on refining the core gameplay and polishing everything up instead of adding new gimmick features I'll be happy.

It seems that is the problem with so many sports games on the yearly release cycle. They spend so much time trying to reinvent themselves each year that the core gameplay never gets attention. How many times have we seen a sports title that seemed like it was a year from greatness only to see the core and feature set take a completely different path the next year. Hard to finish when you keep restarting.

Where ? Be specific because I really didn't see anything different from last year.

The game seems to play better though.

Yeah, this is the biggest problem here. It's hard to tell whether he's saying good or bad things lol.

Lost in translation definitely applies.
LOL, almost has me writing in Haiku
