I agree with what most of you guys have said... I enjoy the demo and it still has its fun factor but the post play animations really hurt the realistic play IMO. Also, as mentioned the player model graphics really need to take a huge leap forward if there is a MLB2k13. That is my biggest disappointment so far with the demo.

I would like to know if there are any major or minor differences that we will see from in the retail version verses the demo? Any ideas? Thanks,Blitz

I thought all these comments pretty much summed up my impressions. Very fair, and surprisingly optimistic consider some of the negative banter being thrown around the forums. As always, remember it's JUST a demo and obviously not the final product. Only a few more days to go!

Re: MLB 2K12 Demo Roundtable

a lot more smoother this year: grammar fail?

but im in the same boat as you guys, i'm not blown away this year by far. but last year i said if they can polish up the bugs and give us a shiny new presentation then i'd buy again. on top of that they added the pitching changes plus variety in hits.

i put in alot of time with 2k11 last year, and if this is as good as it sounds then i'm gonna be satisfied

I rather wait for the game too drop but idk if I will pick this title up this year since I am moving out too arizona in a month and 2 days from now.

Hey guys!! I remember when I was a kid in the Dominican Republic, playing Baseball for me was not only a hobby but it was everything. I had nothing else to play with but a bat and a baseball.
I grew up playing baseball there, then I came to the United State when I was 10 years old. That was in 1990.. now Im 31.. anyways.. I played in middle school down here in Miami. I was the best of my class. Then I moved to Seattle. My dad used to work in Alaska so I Jumped to High School there. (EverGreen Senior High)I played shortstop and second base, Alex Rodriguez was my MLB IDOL back then. After 3 1/2 years I received a scholarship to play for the UNIVERSITY OF HARTFORD. But then I hurt my left knee in a terrible injury during a Double Play.

Now that you Guys know my Baseball Background..
TIME FOR MY IMPRESSION ON MLB 2K12 DEMO....

Seriously 2K???
(1st.) Let me start with the Good things in the demo.. The Pitching is Great.. The Release of the Picher looks Good and the Stats Overlays are on point.. I really like the feature of setting your feet to throw.. I really Like the Variety of hits in the game... With that been said lets jump to the Bad side of the Demo...
(2nd) THE ANIMATIONS on the game are terrible.. I mean even RUNNING the bases looks off... THE OUTFIELDERS dont even hop the right way before throwin to second the animation there its just an OUTFIELDER using his arm to throw the ball to second base or cutoff man its just plain bad..( EVERY BASEBALL player ON every positions uses his body and arm to balance the thow.. in this game all that is missing... THE BODY TYPES of the players are not well represented, for some reason the pichers always has the ball in his hands when the mayority of pitchers carry the ball on their gloves... THE INFIELDERS dont aproach the ball the right way and when they throw to the bases they dont even do a pre-set before throwing with time..(( A Pre-set its based on 5 steps?? 1st) Gather the ball. 2nd) set your shoulders. 3rd) pump fake at least once OR TWICE for more accuracy. 4th) set your feet. 5th) throw to base..))
I give the DEMO A (( 6.5 out 10..))

LMAO, at anybody thinking the Show has better presentation. Some of you guys are as lost as they come. 2K clearly has better commentary and presentation than the Show and that is undisputed.

[m1ke_nyc]

The Show has better cutscenes but overall MLB 2K is superior in the presentation department.

[OhCanadian]

It's OK. It is still choppy and feels "off". I will buy this on a price drop as it is my only option. Damn, it's like pulling into your driveway with a new Hyundai when the guy next door drives a Viper.

Re: MLB 2K12 Demo Roundtable

The demo is ok but nothing that inspires me to spend my money on it.

[buckeyedawgtribe]

If not for the NBA combo I would be waiting for the price drop to 39.99..I think it is definitely gonna be a fun game but as always I am worried it is gonna take a patch a two to make this game feel right..It was a smart move by 2K bundling this NBA 2K. I can see alot of NBA 2K owners getting the combo and trading in their NBA 2K to get something off the $60 price tag..

Seriously the stuttering of the camera on foul balls?!, so five years ago and still there! 2D graphics for crowds above the 1st level of stadiums, seriously! We have walking fans in The Show! And still no option of fielding camera angles since the inception of this game (Low, Medium, High). Again The Show has it! Why can't fans have the option for this? C'mon! It is smoother but its the little things that count now not trying to make up for years of falling behind.
