Ok but based on video camera footage, you can tell right away the ball physics are different? Wow..lol

Like others have mentioned, based on this video, game doesn't look much different than last year, as I wouldnt suspect it would be. But for you to say people aren't noticing what you are noticing in this very limited video, is kinda funny

It doesn't take an eagle eye to see the ball physics in those videos are better than MLB 11.

You're right, the game doesn't LOOK much different than last year - visually. They work under the hood because they're not trying to suck people in with gimmicks. They're trying to make the game play like major league baseball.

Totally agree.

I am laughing so hard everytime I see someone say "It looks just like last year" I mean really what do they expect? Maybe they want spaceships flying over the skies of the stadiums. Its real simple guys if you are expecting a massive leap in graphics you can forget about it! This will not happen until Playstation 4.

And another thing for those saying you are going to skip MLB 12 The Show do you really think anyone here gives a %^$&

I hope all of you skippers enjoy your MLB 11,10,9 The Show while the rest of us will be enjoying our brand new MLB 12 the show with all the great new features and enhancements!

The new Ball Physics and smoother quicker throwing animations alone make MLB 12 The Show worth the money!

MLB The Show is a day 1 buy for me every year no matter what

The first thing I noticed from the video was the ball as it was being pitched and crossing the plate I could clearly see the rotation of the ball alot better, Just an observation.

Thats kinda of unfair that you call out the people that say that they aren't buying the game. Its their opinion and choice. I can come back & say:

'And anyone saying its a day 1 buy for 12 The Show, you really think anyone here gives a %^$&'

just sayin

I would buy MLB 12 just for the realistic ball physics. I'm just that type of person who considers that a very high priority. It's gonna make the game play much more realistically.

I'd love to see 3D grass and.. improved lighting, but the game looks solid already, so I'm glad they chose to work under the hood instead. I really think they maxed out the graphical potential of the PS3's hardware anyway.

You can tell because sometimes the game will dip below 60 FPS at certain camera angles and such.

If people can not see how the ball physics changed from the ball skipping on the field compared to 11... You guys must not have played much 11.

The very first hit was noticeable.

Yeah, because gosh forbid we relish in optimism in this world, instead of the typical pessimism trend.

Moving on.

You are not going to see 3D grass.

That is a gimmick. Yeah I said it. Because it is only 3D in replays, and in those replays the game engines take a hit and run at 30fps or less.

So that becomes an eyesore. Also those games that do have it do NOT have the lighting, crowd or texture fidelity The Show's API has, which is similar to Uncharted's etc. Hell some of them sports games run less than 720p upscaled as well.

There is also MUCH more going on in a baseball stadium than cookie cutter soccer or football stadiums.

They plan updating the field textures/patterns next year however. But what you ask for with what is already going on would be safer bet for the PS4.

I didn't expect it any sooner. I can't even imagine how this game would look with newer generation hardware.. It would probably be mind blowing though.

Has SCEA ever thought about or considered keeping the focus on the ball for a split second as it leaves the bat instead of the immediate switch to the fielding cam?

It's been brought up numerous times, but they have a strong belief that is lowers your reaction time while fielding to a considerable amount that it is not worth the delay.

Though, if you watch the videos, it seems as though we get a few more frames in than we have in previous years I don't even think we technically got to see the ball make contact in the past. This time it's pretty much transition right upon the frame where the ball meets the bat. I'd personally like to see a few frames more (especially for the pitcher broadcast cam), but if they are going to change it more, this was at least an adjustment for the better.

You could only do this from the batting cam not the pitching cam.

Hi

Don't get me wrong everyone is right to their opinion. It just seems a lot of these people sound like they are "threatening" Sony to not buy the game.

And I just find that funny lol

Its the "threatening" that I am talking about. Of course you have a right not to buy it. But do they have to keep "threatening" Sony?

Anyway Topic over

I, um... what?

Sorry, LOL. When i talk about following ball flight for a brief instance i'm talking when you are hitting not when you are pitching so fielding doesn't come into play.
