I may have to give this one a download when I get home later. Has fielding improved since last year? I feel in last year's game players had the worth time changing direction.

It has improved you will really notice it in the outfield. Infield has improved somewhat but still needs a little work to get on par with the outfield. The new throwing meter is great and I like that in the middle of winding up to throw to a base you can decide to throw to another. Ball also seems to travel alot smoother now.

As usual it looks like the ones hating on this game had their mind made up before they ever touched it. Even if these guys did play the demo, it took them 5 minutes to decide they hated it. I spent a lot of time with 2k11 and really liked it, hopefully they step their game up some more and smooth out the rough edges and this can be a great game.

Do I have to be a gold member? I don't see it in the 360 marketplace.

I don't say this lightly because for years I've been frustrated with this game, from messed up jerseys, no throwing/fielding errors in the game, to always having to adjust sliders to make the game play remotely correctly.

But this demo is quite impressive. The new throw meter works great, and you can queue a throw to once base and decide to throw to a different base. The pitching is great. The hitting is much better with much more variety. The amount of info they have complied using the D-pad for pitching is terrific.

I really enjoyed this demo and the game will even better being able to adjust the batting cameras so guys heads aren't cut off.

I agree. Game is fun, and swings look sweet. Very smooth and enjoyable. Huuuuuge upgrade over 2k11 IMHO.

Same question here. Is the PS3 version still coming out today, or will it be tomorrow morning?

Wait.

The store hasn't updated yet, the demo won't be up until it does (though you might be able to find it a a little before it's posted to the storefront by text searching).

To re-iterate, the PSN updates have been extremely inconsistent lately, it has no set-in-stone update time. Although last week was ridiculous even by normal standards, almost not updating until midnight.

Ok, thanks for the info. I haven't downloaded a PS3 demo in a long time, so I wasn't aware of the delays.

I download it at least in part to see if I'll be interested in getting the PC version.

My overall impression is the game seems fun, but not a big improvement from last years game. The graphics seem a bit better, but the game feels too much like 2k11. Seems like not enough man power was used to make this game. I saw a few new animations, but the ball physics felt the same as 2k11. As far as feelings they're mixed. The game is more polished, but not a big jump by any means.

I've had The Show every year since 2008 and I'm considering not buying it this year since there aren't a ton of new advancements that make me want to buy it. I just seems a little stale at this point. I'm still playing The Show a few times a week, don't get me wrong, but I haven't seen too much that makes me want to pick up this year's game. I'd like to try the 2K12 demo because I haven't played the series since 2K8. Once I play it, I'll decide which one to buy.
