MLB 12 The Show Video - Rangers vs. Angels

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Rangers vs. Angels

Ha - to be fair, I give you my impressions but I don't do the whole detailed write up thing often. Just know the devs. Killed it this year and a few discussions really did lead to changes that many are going to love. If you've been here long enough you know I love my gameplay!

I don't think I have ever left the studio this excited by what was done.

Again - wrong thread.

Well...

That's certainly NOT a Nemesis04 gameplay write-up, but...

I'm just kidding. I can't wait to hear your impressions, Pared. Even that one line you wrote has me practically hopping around like a 5 year old on Xmas eve!!!

Have a safe trip home fellas.

Yes, I must say... I do feel a bit rediculous being 20 years old and being so excited about a video game. But I can't help it. I love baseball and The Show IS baseball to a tee.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Rangers vs. Angels

Getting kind of off topic, but this is why I love baseball so much. It just sticks with you from the time you're in Little League until you're an old man. Greatest sport on earth.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Rangers vs. Angels

I'm excited for this game as well, but, I've seen all this before. Any video made from whatever version they're playing isn't anything that I haven't seen before. I've hit plenty of balls over 3rd base that have done the exact same thing in '11. Same hops, same fielding motions, same throwing motions. And on top of everything little that can be analyzed, they still show 2010 stat lines for the players at bat under their game batting line. And on the foul ball hit into the stands, the camera pans exactly the same as it did in '11. Not following the ball. Focusing on where it's gonna land, and looking like they stopped the video short of showing the camera focusing through the crowd to nothing. When I can play it, I'll make my own impression. Until then, all I see is '11.

How 'bout the way the foul ball came off the bat ? I've never seen that in 11. Doesn't it look more realistic ? Like the bat hit the bottom of the ball and the ball had a backspin on it ?

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Rangers vs. Angels

You don't need to worry about things like the 2010 stats being on display. I can almost guarentee you that this was only the case because the video isn't of the final build of the game. Also, by the sound of things, this new ball physics deal is going to make The Show 12 unlike any baseball game ever put out.

I can see where you're coming from though. At a glance things seem pretty similar. But look closer and I think you'll see some nice changes.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Rangers vs. Angels

I think alot of people are missing the point of the commentary complaints. We realize that there are only so many lines they can put in and that there are only so many ways to call a groundout etc...and yes they will get repetitive and old, but it's the way they are presented. All 3 announcers don't sound like their sitting next to each other, there really is no fluidity to the comments. This is the only area that MLB 2k was better than the Show IMO.

I'm not even going to reveal my age, aside from the fact I took a week off of work to fly out to Sony SD, lol.

Alot of this stuff is placeholders. I haven't watched this video, but I can guarantee that the builds we were playing had tons of hits, animations, camera cuts, throws, and even catches that have never been seen before.

As for the stats, again that's just placeholder stuff. I'll let you in on a nice stat display tidbit... not only will you see a players 2011 stats, but you will sometimes see their minor league stats pop-up.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Rangers vs. Angels

I've played this game enough over the years to know what to look for. I don't need another self-professed expert on the show telling me what to look for. I've seen it all as much as the next person. And you can't guarantee me a thing. cause as far as I know you're just another poster. Let the people who are qualified to cash checks their mouths can speak for make the guarantees.

The video is shoddy anyways. When you can afford the guarantees you're making for others, feel free. Til then, they're all opinions.

Totally off subject, but come on people. Learn to spell and the meaning of there, they're, and their. They're not used interchangably.

I'm 44 and anxiously awaiting this game, so you shouldn't feel ridiculous at all! I have been playing baseball since the atari 2600 so to finally have a great baseball game like this is unbelievable! I love baseball and this is the only game I look forward to coming out each year. I bought a PS3 back in '09 just to be able to play The Show!

No, no one is missing any points. We've discussed all this and actually know more than you think we do about how this should be presented.

The problem is you are taking a small sample of the game and dissecting it as if it is the entire thing. Take a 4 minute video from Game 6 of the WS at different points and tell me they both can accurately represent how great that game was.

You are taking one point and beating it to death. Take a deep breath an relax - if this game doesn't offer you what you are looking for there are alternatives you are more than welcome to play. No one will stop you.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Rangers vs. Angels

Yes. You can see that I mentioned that I am a self-expert on the show several times in my post. And I'm sorry. You're right. They'll probably decide to leave the 2010 stats on for MLB 12 since they've done that in the past. I apologize.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Rangers vs. Angels

ThaSLAB, thanks. That's information that's useful to me. I figured the video was so edited that nitpicking was the only way to see something worthwhile.

And the stats thing is very nice to know. I love stats. I love numbers.

Your age doesn't matter cause if I was offered the opportunity to play it for a week early, I'd do the same. I love working on planes, but I love the show just as much.
