Some More MLB 2K12 Features

Re: Some More MLB 2K12 Features

I myself don't care if they added nothing new to the game...I just hope they fixed the A.I and make the game look a little bit better...All the talk about (New features) are crazy just fix what's in the game first.

This wasn't true on the 162 game seasons. It was true if you played shorter seasons as they gave you all these off days and factored them in as full rest days. Fatigue in general has been poorly done and needs fixing imo.

Thank you, something didn't seem right. Thanks to everyone who answered.

After last year my first thought was that 2K should just fix the niggles. Get the core elements to work right then add features later. It has a solid foundation with the best commentary, best pitching system and a really in-depth batter vs hitter showdown because of all the inside edge data. I think they are doing the right thing, when games try to please everyone they end up ruined. 2K11 was clunky but fun and all I hope for is that they take the clunky out in 12

Re: Some More MLB 2K12 Features

Hey guys.

So I am definitely going to get this game. I was just wondering- if I want to play the MLB Today Games and get roster updates, do I need an Xbox Live Gold account to do such (assuming the system is like in 2k10 and 2k11)? I know you need an internet connection, that much is given, and I have an account, but do you actually need to have gold purchased in order to be able to download these roster updates as they happen?

I don't think so....but not sure??? Roster updates used to be free, but this year with Madden 12, you needed a Gold Account for roster updates. Very annoying. Hopefully not a trend.

Re: Some More MLB 2K12 Features

Thanks for the answer, though as it turns out, I do have gold, haha.

What does it mean when it says dynamic commentary as the game unfolds? Isn't that how it always is? Can someone elaborate please, haha?

Pretty sure they mean that as the game happens, the commentary will be influenced by it. "Albert Pujols is 1 for 3 today with a walk and a double..." I don't believe we've seen the game do that yet.

But they do that all the time in the games, announce what the player had done earlier on. Play a game in 2k11 and you'll see, theyll be like 'and Pujols had a double back in the fifth' or something to that extent. I just played like an hour ago.

What does MLB Today do besides let me play a game on the same day in real life? Does it track my stats and have them influence the season (a bit like the NBA Live feature did a few years back?)

Yes it does. All STATS are added to the game as they happen in real life. The only time real-life stats don't effect the game are in the games you actually play.

In games you don't play, the real-life STATS are uploaded into your season

Re: Some More MLB 2K12 Features

I like the live mode and the idea of dynamic commentary. However, they need - MUST - fix the glitches from 2k11. Specifically the fatigue system where a player takes a full games worth of fatigue for only pinch hitting. This drove me crazy. I just hated sitting Votto or Pujols (or anybody) and his fatigue would not recover at all if I used him as a pinch hitter. There should be a fatigue system that allows for varying levels of fatigue based on how much the player participated. Simple.

Also, the DL not calculating right was awful. You had to send a player to triple AAA and then put him on the DL to make it work right. This is just stupid.

These two issued ruined franchise mode for me in 2k11. FIX THEM - and even if you change nothing else - 2k12 will be a winner.
