little more details

nice find. Sounds promising. I like that they are improving what I consider already to be a strength, the matchup of batter v. pitcher. Also hopefully the animations and lighting are improved greatly and it should be a good effort.

Over 80 hours of additional commentary, on top of the hundreds of hours that were already in the game?

... wow.

Quote:

"With the dynamic pitching, after every throw, markers will show you which pitches are working, will suggest which ones to use, and will highlight the ones to avoid".

I hope we can turn off theses aids after we get a handle on things.

2k is promising a more realistic looking game...uh oh, might be buying two games for PS3.

Re: Gamespot Preview.... Pitching Pitching Pitching

One thing... David Price ALWAYS pitches from the stretch, even without runners on base. As you can see here: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play****p?c...37131&c_id=mlb

In the screenshot, he is pitching from the overhead windup.

EDIT: The part that was censored was " . j s " so change the four stars to . j s but without spaces
it was play. j sp?

That's awesome. I love 2K's commentary in both its baseball and basketball games. They are the standard-bearer in that department.

How does one go about reading this on a mobile device?

The link brings me to Gamespots's mobile site, but I can only view the four screenshots. No article.

Could anyone lend me a hand or copy it directly into the thread (if that doesn't brake TOS, by the way)?

I'm glad they added more commentary, but I hope they fix the stats issues in the game. I remember in franchise, the ERA and OBP was always zero in around the 60th game in franchise. Always there's stats bugs in the MLB today segments as well. I hope they fix these, because im a stat nut

that has practically sold me on this being my game of choice this year.
i am a presentation nut.

come for the 2000 hours of commentary, stay for the new pitcher/batter dynamics.

color me pumped.

but please fix the late game AI.

I'm with you here. If they fix franchise, this game will be golden. Their presentation is off the charts and the pitcher/batter duel is solid as it gets. Top it on with new A.I. and better physics and this may be my game of choice this year as well.

By the way, I am a stats junkie and this game does an incredible job with this as well.

I really hope that MLB 2K12 will be good this year because I don't want to buy The Show again.
