Just bought MLB 2K13 for the PS3 tonight. Played an hour and here are my initial impressions.
There are more positives. The negatives include a cut scene where one of the players disappears and reappears. Stadiums look better this year but still leave out some of the little things, especially Turner Field. Player images such as Michael Bourne still have caps from previous team. Bourne still had on his Astros hat.
All in all, I am glad I have this game. It will be nice to go back and forth between it and The Show. Both have their strengths and weaknesses.
- Crowd in the stands looks much crisper/sharper this year.
- Spring training games and presentation still great.
- Player images and uniforms look better.
- New, additional cut scenes at the end of innings.
- Fielding animations appear to have been upgraded. Saw the Padres shortstop actually bobble the ball before throwing. It and some of the dives for balls seem much for fluid.
- The announcing is still best in the business. Only rival it has is the NBA 2K series. For example, when you hit the ball hard, it makes that HR sound, and Gary Thorne then says "Uh-Oh". Makes you think you made a HR but then it is commentary for a loud out. Really gets you into the game.
- Uniform variety is very good.
