MLB 2K12 Preview (ESPN The Gamer)

[13whitebread]

I have not had a baseball game since Tony Larussa baseball on the Sega. But being from Detroit will look to pick this up looking forward to the commentary while you play the game hope its good like NBA2k12. Would not mind to win a million dollars by pitching a perfect game warm up Verlander. Maybe this year he gets his perfect game was very close the last NO NO.

Supposedly the crowds in the Upper Deck are 2D to keep the game running at a healthy 60FPS. If thats still the case I suspect it will still be the same.

Also, has anyone confirmed if that Verlander pic is from 2K11? For some reason I thought it was too but it would be great to get an official or educated confirmation.

Funny, I seem to recall a recent trailer that was released which only contained 1.6% new footage...

I apologize for taking this thread off course and asking this, but which Tony La Russa game are you talking about? I was way too young unfortunately. Now I want to go try it.

But regarding 2k, I really want to know if they did anything for franchise. Even if they didn't add anything per se, but fixed all the glitches this will be a day 1 purchase for me.

Played that game in college over 20 years ago... Sorry, don't remember all the details, just how much fun a bunch of guys and I had playing this game.

They said gloves have been redone, but Verlander's glove looks the same -- awful. One of problems that's plagued this series is the bad-looking gloves. They've been an eyesore.

Someone suggested it might be a shot from 2K11.
