MLB 2K12 Features

[woz411]

A member of the 2K Sports Forums have posted some of the MLB 2K12 features.

MLB Today Season Mode
For the first time ever, play along with the real-life MLB season AS IT UNFOLDS. Take charge of your favorite team and see how you stack up against the rest of the league over the course of a six month-long season.

Dynamic Tendency System
Just as in real-life, opposing pitchers and hitters will learn your tendencies from one at-bat to the next, challenging you to mix up your approach on both sides of the plate as each game unfolds.

New Throw Meter
A revamped throwing system presents a classic risk vs. reward situation every time you make a play. Will you queue up throws before fielding the ball to save time, or take a moment to set your feet for better accuracy?

Improved My Player Mode
Want to be the next All-Star slugger or ace starter? All-new player types let you decide your path to the Majors. Goals, expectations, ratings and progression are all customized by position and player type.

Soundtrack
Tracks handpicked by SPIN magazine, featuring Cool Kids, Skrillex, The Joy Formidable, Grouplove, My Morning Jacket and more.

Re: MLB2k12 feature list out

Really like feature #1 if it operates like it sounds. All the results are MLB actual except of the games you play? Not sure about the AS IT UNFOLDS as to what that means exactly? Can you only affect the results if you play the game on the day it is played irl or are all of your teams games subject to your results? I guess we'll see, but I like the sound of it.

I'm sorry but when "soundtrack" is in the Top 5 of your feature list, things don't sound super promising.

It's nice to put it down in writing but we heard this info already. I'd like to get some new info or get some quality videos of the game in action.

Re: MLB2k12 feature list out

I'll wait and see how the game UNFOLDS before I get excited. That feature list was *yawn*

Sounds like stuff that I thought was already in the game with the exception of the first and last features.

Yeah, that threw me too. I don't care if your songs are "handpicked by SPIN magazine"...that's just ridiculous.

On the upside, the others on the list all sound like good (albeit vaguely described) features. In particular, the MLB Today season mode sounds a lot like what plenty of people here have claimed to want for some time. I'm curious to see how that plays out.

The My Player nuggets sounds awesome. Player types will be awesome.

Re: MLB2k12 feature list out

very lowly feature list, not promising at all.

Re: MLB2k12 feature list out

If they add "Everything works as advertised" as a feature, I'd be geeked.

MLB 2K12 features list, brought to you by the makers of Sedaplex.

Where's the "New zone hitting system for total bat control" feature I specifically asked for? Hopefully it's #6 on the list...?

This, although 2K11 didn't need a whole lot of improvement to make it an above average baseball game. Although I agree, the 'features' list is a joke. At least they didn't put that stupid contest in the features list though.

"Charles Hustle." Ha-ha, that's great.

Re: MLB2k12 feature list out

i hope the my player is improved

1. you can get drafted by a team or traded for prospects/mlb players

2. i hope not all my player models look alike..that would be terrible once again

3. i hope we can wear a necklace or something under our jerseys like how some
players really do..just a nice little addition

4. i hope we work up from AA to AAA to MLB

the new goals should be interesting it was easy but annoying
getting 15 games in and like 60 power contact ect just to get in majors
