    A Quick Look at MLB 12: The Show


    While the snow might be piling up across the land (or not), things are heating up at the SCEA studios. Info regarding MLB: The Show 12 is steadily starting to trickle out day by day.

    But if you are looking for wholesale changes, look elsewhere. SCEA follows a strict policy of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” This is certainly not a bad thing. Instead of trying to re-invent the wheel, we consistently see building blocks, but this isn’t to say there is no innovation.

    It would be nice if they could nail the 1080p resolution this year. Last year's game seem to take a performance hit when it was forced to 1080p.

        MLB 12: The Show will feature over 500 new presentation animations, 300 new fielding and base running animations, 150 new batting stances, 75 new pitching motions, and one of my personal favorites, 14 new umpire personalities.

          They say they are going to announce an "innovative new online mode" but it will be all for naught if the servers are just as broken (and if the PSN gets hacked again, of course...)

            I believe Russell was misquoted with the "all new online mode" thing, in that it's not necessarily online. I believe it's either a new online mode (even though we're already getting a new online Home Run Derby), a new franchise element (think something on a bigger level, like expansion teams or the like), or an entire new thing altogether.

            By the way, I like the article in that, although it's nothing we haven't heard, it is a quick draw to the people who haven't been reading the articles in-depth and figuring out exactly what might justify their purchase this year. The new ball physics alone might be worth the 60 bones (100 if you count the Vita version).

              The Show has not been 1080p native since MLB 09. To get the most crisp picture you want to play in 720p and let your TV do the upscaling as the PS3 does not do a very good job of it.

              All these animations have me pumped for the demo. Looks to be so much more realistic.

                I'm glad you guys seem excited we still have a decent amount of info about the game that hasn't been released yet. :-)

                            Ramone, I always forget to ask this question early in development, and no one ever mentions it either so I feel like I am responsible for not having this corrected!

                            Do Umpires finally wear long sleeves in cold games? The players seem to wear them (this logic needs to be improved also, as player who have 3/4 sleeves seem to not do so unless its REALLY cold ????) but I find it odd that umpires are always dressed like they're in a Corona commercial even when its cold out.

                              I've gotta say, as much as I'm in love with the stick pitching (IMO, the best pitching mechanic I've ever used in a baseball game), I'm looking forward to try out the new pulse pitching. Not sure how I feel about the big "X" pulsating on screen, but maybe it's not as distracting as it sounds (I mean, I'm already accustomed to a meter there anyway). Anyway, can't wait!
