MLB 12 The Show Information From Best Buy

[ryan36]

What promises didn't they keep? Lol. This must be a joke. I'll be honest I thought fielding would be even better , but theyve never over promised.

I mean promises that some POSTERS made.....:wink:

I'll give you a hint...it usually starts like this...

"If X isn't added/changed...I won't be......"

Re: MLB 12 The Show Information From Best Buy

Why are people jumping the gun on saying stupid crap about them not adding new features? They have barely even said whats in the game yet, so all of the new features have not even been talked about. People just get too up tight over crap like this. It's a little over 2 months till release. They have a crap load of time to talk about the other additions they've made to the game.

It's already been stated that all of the information released so far is just minor things that have been done to the game. People just need to relax and just wait until SCEA has officially announced everything that is going to be in 12. I absolutely cannot wait for more information on 12. I'm more excited for 12 then I was for 11. I'm not sure why, but I am. I just think that 12 has so much potential to take this series yet another step forward.

Exactly, just wait for the fact sheet.

If this is all they have to offer I'm sitting this one out. I can wait a year. Show me something new or I will be buying this game every 2 years.

If you do decide to skip the game - please stay out of the forum and refrain from posting. I'm sure those who are actually interested in the game would be appreciative.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Information From Best Buy

I did enjoy 09 alot but with 10 and 11 I didnt feel like they improved anything. The commentary has to either change or get a entire new cast cause its just getting stale. The franchise is starting to get stale as well. I could care less about the move intergration cause i feel its stupid and overrated. I will most likely get 12 anyway but im done paying $60 for just roster upgrades.

I don't understand this claim. Did you see where I mentioned several distinct things they improved? After playing 11, there's NO WAY I could go back to any previous version. I just don't get it. There is room for more variety (I understand thinking it's stale-parts are), but to say it's a roster update is just wrong to me.

LOL why are people pay attention to a Best Buy ad anyway. Most of the stuff that was already confirmed isnt even on that list. People questioning the devs work ethic and what not is crazy. They added so much this year ( playerr collision, new pitch system, more umps with new personalities, more animations, presentation, etc..) People just love jumping the gun smh. Wait until ALL the info is out before you freak out.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Information From Best Buy

I understand the complaints about features that are constantly not implemented into the game because "they need to be perfectly implemented." I don't always buy that. If I am not mistaken last year the developers for SCEA said they finally implemented rain because they had all of this proper logic and etc. to make it "right." Well then it turns out people get 1 rain game a year in New York... that does not seem properly implemented.

The people that complain about weather include me... I just want weather to cause rain outs, which would cause for strategy and other adjustments. Plus, a franchise that DOES NOT need a 100 workarounds for franchise to properly work... we are not paying $60 to test the game out.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Information From Best Buy

Guys, it's just a Best Buy ad. When was the last time they or any other site like them (i.e. Gamestop, Wal-Mart, etc...) ever broke news on a groundbreaking feature?

The attacks against the developers also has to stop. The game isn't perfect, but it does improve every single year. Better yet, the developers from SCEA are always on here, and unlike other developers, they actually listen to us. They can't please everybody on here, and there is a reason why there some things don't make the game. It isn't because they hate you...

Re: MLB 12 The Show Info From Best Buy

I can't wait to try out the Move this year! Last year, there was a little too much lag in the Home Run Derby mode, thrilling as it is to see your batting stance waggle on screen and swing for yourself.

I'll definitely give this a go, even though it probably won't be my preferred method of play.

EDIT: Poor cheap shots at the developers above. "Lazy" wouldn't even be the last thing to call these guys; the word simply should not exist given their efforts.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Information From Best Buy

Now even I think it's wrong for anyone to call the dev team lazy but please please remember people (this is just a video game that's all it is just a video game) it's not real...it's not going to change any troubles you have in your life it's just a game ...So walk outside get some air no need to freak out because a best buy add didn't say anything new ...I'm sure we will hear all we need in the next months or so.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Information From Best Buy

Actually, everything you mentioned EXCEPT the weather has ZERO effect on the game.
The weather in the game, actually does effect the game to some extent.

P.S.
(here's secretly hoping that some of the promises made here on O.S. are actually kept!!! ...but I doubt it...much like they weren't kept from '10 to '11 )

Good point except what does the weather (rain) do in MLB 11? Nothing as it is only for looks. If they are going to talk about improved presentation well it has to start with the commentary which had to be one of the biggest complaints from year to year. Not following your promises made thing which if it doesn't apply to me then nevermind. However, I have to say (I will not be buying MLB 12).

However, The Show is still on my radar

Btw: those who are still upset from the one who said "lazy" just let it go as he has already said that is not what he meant. The Show is by far the best baseball game I have ever played. With that said, they need to stay ahead of the curve and listen more to the complaints (commentary). EA DID NOT LISTEN.........look what happened to Madden and even NCAA Football. People can only listen to the same phrases, broken sentences, mismatched banter and poor audio for so many years before they start skipping their yearly purchase.

So far I am skipping in 2012:

Madden
NCAA Football
NHL
Mostly EA Sports except Fifa and I am waiting to see what is being offered in this year's Show.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Information From Best Buy

Honestly, what is the point spending so much time on stadiums when you guys never get the grass and dirt right? I mean, it's as obvious as the day to anybody that attends real games that these stadiums look nothing like the real thing when you are watching the game because of the grass and dirt.

Look at the Nationals Stadium in that one write up lol? That isn't what the stadium looks like in real life. What the hell happened to dirt and grass because they are totally a different tone than that and it is BEYOND annoying considering I have been writing about this for well over a year now. If you want realism then go take some pictures of the how the stadium looks and make sure you get the colors right. The grass in this game is pitiful and I mean that in the nicest way. Half the time it is this drab sullen looking pale green FFS!

Man, I knew I should have never gotten myself up to this boiling point but it is just too much for me. That is why I must leave at some point and just hope for another year. I hate to sound critical but I cannot help it when this game is so good now, from what I hear, in pretty much every other area.

I can't help but respond. I never even thought to look at dirt and grass color. The fact that you think this is a major flaw should tell you how good the game is, unless I'm missing some sarcasm.
