It looks like players round the bases more realistically at 1:17. I almost laughed when I saw them round bases in 2K11 - cause it was more like a 90 degree angle.

I hope this game turns out well but some of the animations still look a little bit off, like the CF grabbing the triple by Young, maybe I'm just nitpicking.

Noticed a few good things, like new shoes, no blacked out score board. One thing still, the crowd is maxed out. Hopefully there will be dynamic attendance/crowd logic in the franchise mode this is a must!!!!!

I hope they took the PS3 version of this game seriously and did what they did with NBA 2K12. If this is the case, I will be buying 3 baseball games on release. That's something I haven't said in a LONG time.

Well, at least they have a video of gameplay out a month and a half before launch, unlike last year. I really do hope this game is good this year...but I'm getting sick of holding my breath every March.

Is that a new fielding mechanic? I swear I see a yellow part, a green part and a red part?

Took some screenshots from the HD Feed for those who can't watch the video in full yet.

Thoughts:

Looks alot like 2k11 in the graphics department, day games looked good already, I'd like to see a night game. The helmets still look too flat.

On the ball hit in the gap, the baserunner was already almost at 2nd by the time the CF got to the ball. I'm sure that can be fixed with sliders but I thought it was a problem last year.

On the relay throw to the cutoff man, the cutoff man just stands there and looks into his glove! doesn't run back into the infield or try to throw to third. Why?

Rounding bases from what I can tell does look better.

Also...not impressed with the interview. "We want the game to play more like the baseball game." Ya, let's hope so.

I like what I'm seeing... I guess some will complain and parse a guy's words in an interview, but I'm more concerned with what I SEE in the gameplay. LOVE the visual stat overlays and I can already see a difference in the ball physics and the line drives, along with the smoothness of baserunning and fielding.

I enjoyed last year's game...something tells me this year will be even better, so I'm pretty excited...

Totally unrealistic! Jhonny Peralta would never make that play in real life.

Ouch..ummmm I'll hold off judgement until I see more.

The little things!

Weak. I wish I still had my PS3.

MLB 2K11 surprised me. This looks a little better graphically, the screenshots don't look as good as the video. I hope this game got the same thing NBA 2K12 got though, that would be huge.
