MLB 12 The Show Hands-On Preview and Interview with Ramone Russell (PS3, PS Vita)

[Geolink]

Loving that they finally made presentation and commentary their No. 1 priority this year.

[DJ]

Ramone, you guys have certainly earned my $60 every year. This and NBA 2K are the only sports games I look forward to purchasing.

I like hearing that presentation and commentary were a big focus, and the new ball physics will hopefully improve the hit variety.

Guys, this game is, in some ways, a direct result of what happens when you provide feedback in a constructive manner. We get interaction with the development team, and very rarely do the discussions even tread towards being hostile. Most are a nice give-and-take and if the gamer and developer still disagree, that's OK. I like that we can present ideas to the SCEA team and they will be very honest about the chances of the suggestion making it into the game.

I also appreciate the passion the team has for making this game a beast. You can tell these guys really are passionate about baseball and gaming, and the proof is in what we see on our TVs come the beginning of March.

Keep up the great work, SCEA San Diego. Your game is why I'm still gaming in my 30s.

Really good to hear this, "“The commentators are going to talk about the MVP race, the Cy Young race, the series that you played in two days before. They’re going to talk about how your pitcher is having an awful year because he’s 5 and 15.”"

Hoping to see those cool slices down the line. We seen a little slice in '11 but I definitely like to see a bigger curve.

I thought this was captured pretty well as it was, in my opinion obviously. But I trust that they will only make it better and leave me wondering how I didn't notice the room for improvement.

I'm really excited for the game from what I've heard so far.

most overrated commentary there is, gets just as redundant as any other sports game out there. Bought 2k11 and was going through Kings franchise and lost count the number of times I had to hear about Carl Landry catching and elbow to his teeth. Like all games commentary and music gets muted in my house

[Galvatron]

Good Lord!

Listen up FIFA, NHL, 2K, Madden, NCAA, Fight Night, Tiger Woods.
And listen well!
I'm calling it now!

Best Sports Game Ever Made!

And still more news to come!?

I'm trying to catch up on games I put aside because of MLB 11 and still have yet to pick up Arkham City and Uncharted, and these guys GO AND DO THIS!?!

Since Ive purched a ps3 and the Show 11, I have barley touched any other game. When I play anything else, Im just itching to play The Show!

Now they just uped the ante!
