Well, mine will be done in an hour or two. Thank you for perpetuating someone else's claim with the 2k11's performance on your computer. That was relevant.

Huh? I only mentioned 2K11 as my game of choice right now. You're the one who jumped into this discussion and insisted PC game framerate issues are entirely dependent on one's rig, which they're not.

Downloading mine from Amazon now.

A framerate issue is sometimes not truly a framerate issue but a stutter in the game engine. In other words it's possible that a game can be benchmarked at 100FPS and still have a glitch during certain segments due to code problems and not hardware limitations. I am guessing this is the case as it was apparently fixed on both the PS3 and Xbox already. It's just unfortunate that the PC version always seems to have to wait months for a patch.

I am hoping this is not a game breaker....cause obviously I went ahead and bought it.

Exactly. Framerate issues in this case would be due to code problems, and would be very unfortunate. Although I heard it's only default camera that had the problem on consoles, before the patch fixed it anyway. So that could be the issue. Regardless it's a shame.

Stop perpetuating correct information regarding PC game performance!

I remember last year that the PC version already had the release day patch "built in", so maybe that's the case this year too.

Mine plays smooth no lag. Max settings. Only pc for me cause the mods from mvpmods.

Good to know, thanks mate.

re: MLB 2K12 - PC Impressions

The final product is fantastic! I'm loving every bit of this game so far. The hit distribution is amazing as well. I love how they tweaked the pitches. As Cabrera, Josh Johnson hung a curve high in the zone, which this year has NO break. Ended up going 450 ft. :-D

As for the lag, no need to hit the panic button. Mine runs smooth as silk, although that is with vsync OFF. I also have a GTX 570 and a 2500k, with all settings maxed, but the game isn't that demanding anyway. I hope everyone enjoys it, and let the modding begin!!

Thanks DS, sounds good. And thanks for your modding mastery, makes the game so much better each year.

re: MLB 2K12 - PC Impressions

As DS mentioned, the game plays a solid game of baseball! As for lag my experience has been based on settings and only noticeable on foul balls (never on balls put in play).

With only the in game settings maxed out my gameplay is flawless. If i get into my nvidia settings and bump up transparency and AA to x16, x32 etc., I get a minimal fps hit on foul balls. One thing I did notice though, cut scenes in between batters do not take the fps hit like last year!

Specs: AMD Phenom II x4 3.5, gtx 460

And yes, let the modding begin!

re: MLB 2K12 - PC Impressions

After downloading and running the installer I get this "the cabinet file mlb2k12_3.cab is corrupt and cannot be used". Uh oh. Time to redownload.....9.22GB? It was one giant file that was extracted....how did this happen? If it was a corrupt download wouldn't the original extraction have been bad?

Oh well....I guess my posts about the "actual gameplay" will come much later.

re: MLB 2K12 - PC Impressions

Mine runs very similar to 2k11. Balls in play look fine, foul balls are still jarring to look at.

MLB Today mode is interesting to say the least, so my understanding is you need to keep up with it or else you lose a chance to "re-write" history?

They removed some of the old cameras which is a disappointment.

re: MLB 2K12 - PC Impressions

If I get this game it will be for PC (obviously the best), but I've been somewhat reluctant because of the framerate issues being reported by some. I don't want their to be any hiccups whatsoever, even on foul balls. The game should run smooth at all times. I have gtx580 x2 (in SLI), so horsepower is not an issue but regardless the problem is one of bad coding.

re: MLB 2K12 - PC Impressions

What cameras did they remove? I really didn't enjoy the cameras last year until the patch which added a better batting (fielding) camera. I hope they didn;t remove them. Why would they do that?

Some of the 2k10 and 2k9 ones that were in fielding in base running.
