MLB 12 The Show Video - Pulse Pitching, Zone Analog Batting, Broadcast Presentation

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Pulse Pitching, Zone Analog Batting, Broadcast Presentati

I speculated earlier that it might have had to do with how we push our analog sticks upward unnaturally to go straight forward with things like pitching and hitting, but I totally forgot about the Move motion controls, which is probably what it has more to do with (and two posters thankfully chimed in about).

Although, wouldn't it be "locked" if that were the case? It seems like if there is an option that you are not currently using, like 3D mode, music mode, or pitching camera options while hitting, that they don't even allow you to fine tune anything with it by putting a lock icon next to it.

By the way, as long as they show baserunner attributes in the pause menu when there are runners on, that will be the most amount of information anyone will need.

Yep they added that too

Is Roger Bernadina's shin guard supposed to be turned in like that? I can't tell when it goes back to the regular catcher hitting camera.

In fact he does have a turned in shin guard in real life.

After seeing this video and also understanding that's it a rather earlier build SCEA is definitely getting my money.

I really loved the presentation broadcast cut scenes. It adds so much realism to the game. Also the way the ball jumped off the bat and the way a batter would go down and get a ball is so creative. The sound of the ball off the bat was also cool. It appeared that players were closing their gloves after the catch. The new ball physics is a welcome sight. You could see the direct affect the spin had on the ball with the opposite field base hit as it almost got by the defender as it sliced away. Maybe it was in last year but I loved the way the catcher froze at his throwing position before he unloaded the ball to third after the strikeout of Utley. Loved the umps hook on the K as well. The crowd really seemed to really react well to the basehit by Howard. Lots of good things, nice little touchups.

Doesn't seem like they have enough room to add BR ABL and BR AGG there. It would help.

Okay. After watching the video again, I have to second Pared on the little white lines around the Pulse pitching graphic.

I wonder if they serve a practical purpose to the mechanic itself, or if they can be removed entirely? I'm trying to envision what it would look like with them removed and I think I like what I think I'm seeing a lot better.

Just a suggestion. Even though I still plan on using it day one.

Nice find.

In this vid you can really see some of the new elements that were added to the presentation. The camera cutting to Hudson post pitch looked pretty awesome. Especially with him closing his glove and the brim of his hat being bent the way it was.. that looked pretty slick. It's pretty awesome that we can focus on such small elements of this game. It really tells you how polished this game really is.

The other camera cut that I like was Heyward jogging back to his position. His bobble in right field looked like a pretty smooth animation as well (not forced).

I wasn't even that pumped upon hearing of spruced up presentation when the news first broke to us. Sure, a welcome edition to the game, but I was more focused ball physics, new tagging system, and collision/ avoidance. It's only a small sample size of the presentation and I've already been sold on it. Fantastic.

Just watched the 3D video on my 3D TV. For those who might have been interested/wondering, the display on the screen itself isn't in 3D, just the video itself (so the camera device that was being recorded was in 3D). Of course, if you turn off 3D on the video, you might have already noticed this.

I really want to try the Move on this thing now, provided there isn't too much lag!

VERY much looking forward to MOVE here. I think it will be just a whole hell of a lot of fun. This seriously looks to be the year Move is put into proper sports sims where it is doable.

This game is soooooo unrealistic. Utley would never jump out of the way of an inside pitch like that!

Positives:
- Analog Zone Hitting, YES!!!!! I'm tried of mashing on the buttons to swing.
- Pulse pitching looks pretty decent and seems realistic as well.
- Pitch command and pitch confidence has been completely rewritten, which SHOULD be a GREAT thing.
- New baserunner and fielder logic.
- Better presentation and broadcasting, I don't really care about it (since I'm all about the gameplay) but I'd rather have it improved instead of not improved.

Negatives:
- Nothing on whether Analog Pitching has been improved.
- Pulse Pitching looks good but it's basically what Classic Pitching should've been all these years.
- Opposite field power on inside pitches seem to be still far too much. That single to right off a low inside pitch was hit real hard.

I'm calling that Diamond Dynasty is 9vs9 where everybody plays as a different player.

About the pulse pitching, has it been mentioned whether we can adjust the size of the control in the camera editor? I agree with everyone that it would be nice if it were a little more subtle. I'm a minimalist with this stuff myself (the main reason I have used classic pitching the last couple years).

I don't know if this was mentioned already but in the first video I saw a large ad of "This Week In Baseball" on the outfield wall. Was that there last year?

I'm sure it was in last year.
