Re: A Quick Look at MLB 12: The Show

With Yu Darvish (another mysterious Japanese prospect) coming over, I bet #@$%^@#%$%$^%$^EW%^#$ is another attempt by SCEA to get that magical pitch of yore correct this time. SCEA knows that Gyroball thing they added for Matsuzaka was a total failure...

Real manager personalities (as in how they manage the game,how the team reacts on-field to certain situations, etc.) would be sweet

Really??? REALLY??

You're excited for it to be raved about, analyzed, dissected, complained about, damned to hell then subsequently be labeled broken??

Glutton for punishment I see.

I would love an additional commentary team and for retractable roofs to actually open/close. The roof thing might not seem like a big deal to some, but when you play most of your games in one of these ballparks, it's HUGE.

Commentary isn't bad by any means. I just think another team would really keep it fresh.

I think the team is very capable, as is. The sound has been remastered for '12, so that should help with the "sound & feel" aspect of the commentary. And the flow/cohesiveness/dead air hopefully is improved too.

I say this because Vasgersian and Karros did the Cubs @ Red Sox (FOX) game back on May 21st, and I thought they did a very good job together and a had a good chemistry going.

To me, Campbell seems to be the odd man out now and the next that should get replaced.

LOL, I didn't want to come out and say it directly, since I have a soft spot for Soup who is a Michigan guy

but yeah... it seems like that would be the next step in the evolution.

Unless the MLB team can fix the online issues the game will still be on my "no buy" list. Offline the game is great, but playing the CPU does not keep my interest. I know baseball is a timing based sport, which makes playing online difficult. But these guys should be sharp enough to come up with something to improve the performance so playing their game online is enjoyable. The strikeout levels and low batting averages online the last couple of years is ridiculous. Anyway that is my two cents.

Tough crowd!

I just started with MLB 10 last year, so all these guys haven't gotten so stale for me yet, though what they actually say necessarily become stale being repeated over and over; but I don't know how that can be avoided it. Heck I didn't even think Rex was that bad... he at least added a completely different personality which is often nice...

Repeaters and those who buy the game every few years might have a different view on how quickly these guys go stale. Just saying...

Yeah, I wouldn't say Soup is terrible. He is more of a victim of selected lines and actual delivery, much like Rex was. Rex was kind of a love/hate deal, depending on how you were doing at the time in the game

.

I thought that Matt's jokes about Rex were very funny tho!

The team is very capable. I really have no problems with what is said or how it's said. I just get tired of listening to one crew, over and over. If you ever played NCAA Basketball 10, the best thing in that game was having two commentating crews. It kept it fresh.

With only one, how can you expect not to get a little tired of it after a while. Honestly, the same can be said for any sports game really. But as much as I play this game, I thought it would be a great add-on. Even if it was DLC.
