But if it were an OPTION all they would have to do is NOT turn it off. Then everyone's happy.

Hey Russell I was wondering if franchise/season mode users may choose more amounts of games to play. I would enjoy doing multiple seasons consistinng of 60-75 games per season. you guys limit us to very few options, will this be fixed, and will there be a playoff mode, and the new playoff format?

It's not JUST the score overlay brother...its what the score overlay is representing if I read right. A game that offers true broadcast is lacking with the scorebug overlay and you have to wonder what else has REALLY changed. I am not bothered as much as I am about nor being able to have the option to turn off the info clutter like I can the strike zone...the explanation for it is also pretty awful using a narrow focus group as a basis for why you can't or should I say won't give us the option.

I'd pour a bowl of cereal and read my in game article and box score.

I would rather see it styled as a website instead of a newspaper. Each team could have an MLB.com site that has links to articles featuring trades, call-ups, free agents, rumors, fan feedback, etc and then a seperate home page that has all of the major headlines throughout the whole league.

Cause, who reads a newspaper still?

By selling the game to people who already own it? Or maybe you're going for the coveted gamefly crowd who have yet to purchase?

Makes no sense to have ads in the game for the very game that is being played. And as I think someone else noted, it looks incredibly tacky.

But hey, what do I know? How 'bout a song by Lonesome Rhodes...

I'd also like to see an option for TV style replays. Just click play and watch the camera follow the play in a nice realistic way like you'd see on espn or seomthing. My recorded replays are all ugly and plain

Sony attempts to blur the lines between what's seen on TV and what you're controlling in "MLB 12: The Show

Why can't we turn the onscreen "clutter" off then!
In 12 it looks even more like your playing a videogame than in previous installments.
Make it at least a little more clean looking, now it looks like everything is thrown in the corner for the sake of having it there. Put it in a nice box or something I dunno.

Isn't this pure beauty!





Ok that was my last rant about the subject, I do like the new score overlay though

I just thought I would let everyone know that I will be at CES again(barring circumstances out of my control) so I will be making a thread soon so you can ask any questions you might have and I will do my best to get them answered for you since I will be playing the game a lot and checking out everything like I did last year. So don't feel like you need to ask Russell all your questions because I will help out in that area again.
