MLB 12 The Show Screenshots - Your New Default Camera View and Other Tidbits

Then give us "few" hardcore fans the option to just not show it!
I also always found it to be an eyesore and now there's even more stuff going on.

You guys are known for giving us so many options so everyone can play/see/here/feel the game how they like. This has been on my (and quite some others here) list since 08.
Never considered myself as hardcore show player, heck I just play exhibition games. A little disappointed...unless we can finally save exhibitian games in 12.
Then I'll completely forget about the hardcoded screen clutter

As the famous saying goes maybe next year.

Trick of the eye I guess

Russell is that thing on the bottom right side with the Plate, Pitch Type and MPH new? Or is that in MLB 11 The Show?

Also I was thinking you could put the pitchers Pitch Count right on that thing too

The art is new and the functionality is new this year. Last year you had to press L3 to bring up swing analysis now it animates on it's on.

I believe the option to make the pitch command (and not overall pitcher confidence) invisible is in MLB11. (That doesn't turn of confidence system, btw.)

If that display of energy/confidence can also be turned off by an option, that's what you want, isn't it?

Hey Russell, are we going to have the option to have different color gloves and shoes for home and away games this year? I noticed in the other screen shots that Jose Bautista has different gloves on with his home and away uniforms and here Adrian Gonzalez has the glove colorway he only uses on the road.

Will a pitchers confidence be accurately represented? It seems like in past versions of The Show pitchers confidence DRASTICALLY effects their pitching. Ex. If your able to get a couple hits off a mediocre pitcher in the first inning, that does not mean their confidence drops and I start shelling them...

It has always seemed that the Pitchers confidence has been way to strong and completely changes the game.

Too much memory? Really? I am not doubting you by any means but your programmers seem to really nail their sport as opposed to that football game and they have some 3D grass and 11 on 11 on the field doing totally different stuff all the time.

Perhaps removing a few thousand fans per stadium, mascots that are barely seen and few other things could free up some "memory". In all do respect I think it's more about priorities and figuring out a way to make it look good all the time and not just in replays.

Those games only have 3D grass in replays.

Trick of the eye I guess

You do know that the player models changed in MLB11, right?

Not this year but it's on our list for 13. The reason you saw them with different gloves was because I changed them in different screen shots to show some of the new equipment in the game.

Nope, this is something that only the hard core really wants. In every focus test we have ever done for the game we always hear the game is to hard and there isn't enough info given to the user.

Would it be really to difficult to let us have the option to turn the "info" clutter off? I mean its similar to how you let us turn the strike zone off and the rest off the visual aids us "hardcore" groups don't want in our game. I wouldn't think its asking to go above and beyond anything but then again I am not a dev guy so I don't know.

Open in different tabs for direct comparison:

You can see the adjustment to the spacing between the outfield wall ads in this comparison.

That's cool...Is it always this way or an option you can toggle on and off?

I guarantee you it's not a "Hardcore" thing. Just put a poll up and you will see. I am not a hardcore player by any means and I don't want the clutter there. We were never apart of a focus group I guess...

No because they know we're going to buy the game anyway

No but in all seriousness, if you guys can't give us that option please tell us it's like breaking the da Vinci code to make that happen or simply because you just don't want it...by all means it's your game.

Nice.
It appears Adrian has already done his Mo-Cap because that's a new batting stance. It'd be cool if he does his timing mechanism where he "pumps" his back arm as he gets ready for the pitch.

The first baseman is playing off the bag a little. Perhaps it's because this is an early build and his placement hasn't been fine tuned yet, or because that's where he needs to be because of the new tag system that's in place for this year??

Just curious: if Adrian did Mo-Cap for you guys, did he do more than just his stance... like maybe some new scoop animations for firstbase?

On (animates by itself), User (Press L3), and off which turns the entire art piece off.
