Re: A Quick Look at MLB 12: The Show

I can't wait for that fact sheet to surface.
Its always a good read

Now that you mentioned it, I forgot that it should be coming up in a couple of weeks or so. We first got one for MLB '10 and that one came out on January 11, last year's came out on February 20.

I refuse to be suckered in by Russell's hype bait. I shall wait with nonplussed breath for the games release.

Any news will have to dazzle me on it's own.

So have I spoken.

This article doesnt say anything new, BOARING, throw us a bone!

Re: A Quick Look at MLB 12: The Show

I am wondering will there be a setting to use the traditional meter pitching still? I never got the hang of the new analog stick pitching last year and still preferred the traditional meter.

All in all, even if I have to get used to the new pitching mechanism I am still eagerly awaiting March 6th. I've prolly put in at least 200+ hours in MLB 12 and feel it is the best video game out there.

i didn't kno it did 1080p, my TV always switched to 720 on its own......

but thank god for this game, with a real singular player mode with realistic skill progression and a unique balance between fun and challenging......EA, you need to take notes.....

It plays in 1080p. You just have to force it from the XMB in the PlayStation's menu. Im not sure if it was a considerable drop in the frame rate or what, maybe even a studder in the graphics. On my TV (46inch sammy LCD), forced 1080p looked amazing. Unfortunately, it was impossible to time the hitting and pitching because of the "slowdown".

Re: A Quick Look at MLB 12: The Show

...engineering team re-wrote the entire code on how a spinning object interacts with such things as a bat, wall or even the field. This should be a game changer when it comes to total realism...

Very, very exciting news! That is, as long as the defenders do not have pre-disposed knowledge of what the ball is going to do, and as long as the flyball indicator doesn't give it away either. If so, its just window dressing.

heh...don't know why I was thinking I read X. Though with my vision, you might not be too far off base with your comment anyway

LOL, actually I was not referring to you but the person who wrote the article since it sounds like he saw it in action. You read it correctly!

Re: A Quick Look at MLB 12: The Show

My bad on the "X" thing guys. Looks like I was wrong about that. Russell confirmed it to be "O".

[CuseGirl]

also, will the RTTS free agency issue be fixed. This is basically the one issue that keeps me from getting to age 46 with my RTTS guy (i usually peter out at 33). I kno it sounds childish, but I can't handle being the best player in the league and not getting the contract I deserve from the Yankees who are BOUND to overpay for my services. I want my imaginary 27 million dollar contract, I just do.

[CraterFace]

Please fix up franchise mode, maybe less is more, don't care about taking loans from banks or stadium sponsorships. Concentrate on player progression and AI team management. Also why are curveballs so ineffective, they seem to be hit harder than other pitches on average. Maybe a better way of differentiating hangers from yackers? AND FOR THE LUV OF TEBOW'S CHRIST, LET US CHANGE PLAYER POTENTIAL GRADES IN EDIT PLAYER. It's so constraining for franchise progression, plus u guys aren't always on the ball with the weekly roster updates. Otherwise I LUV this product, after a patch of course.

Ramone's always good for some taunting! I gotta admit, I'm really excited to see everyone's reaction to the final announcement... #imalwayswatching

This certainly gets us excited in anticipation of what that is but is also a chance to reflect on ourselves.

What if the final announcement reveals a new feature XXXX, with XXXX being what OS members have been asking SCEA to work on.

Would you be that excited if this XXXX is:

-- option to hide visuals in the main gameplay screen
-- stadium roof opens/closes
-- grass looks more vibrant and true to life
-- rainouts
-- something you constantly bitched about in the forum the past year

Something tells me SCEA had thought about a much greater thing. Talking about priority... Anyways, not trying to be cynical...

Having said above, I'm guessing XXXX is actually an option for us to choose brand-name jockstrap/cup combo.

Though it's a customizable equipment, we cannot actually see them this year because the currently player model doesn't allow zipper to open. Then next year, the OS forum will be flooded with requests for the fly to open for realism. Make Karros say something on it when that happen during broadcast, so on, and so forth....

Amazing how much details the Show will eventually get right!!!
