Major League Baseball 2K12 Video - Chris Snyder Interview, First Glimpses of Gameplay

[Bulls321974]

on 2k i don't get bored of it

i went got a ps3 for the show and regretted it
only thing that game has is the graphics
the hitting is easy the commentary is way off

MLB The Show is a true simulation while MLB 2K is rather arcadish.

Visuals are better but still way behind the competition. That said 2K do the best job in recreate the broadcast aspect of the game.

What ? In 2K, all they offer is timing based hitting. That means you just press a button or press the analog stick up. It doesn't get any easier than that.

What's the big deal? Just talking about facts.

Agree completely. All the pitching and IE improvements they say they've made will mean squat if they haven't included a hitting system that offers more realism and more of a challenge than timing-only.

The big deal is you're going to get yellow carded.

I'm not trying to badmouth 2K's products. All I do is giving my opinion. That's all.

I didn't say I disagreed with you. I said you're not allowed to compare the two games on either forum, it's the rules.

Strange rules. As long as I don't badmouth one game while praising another one, I don't see any problems with that.

Whatever. Just letting you know before you go the way of a good number of loyal ex-OS members who got the boot for less.

Looks like more of the same if you ask me. Could put this video side by side with 2k11 and the only way you would be able to tell the difference is the new icons for the different pitches and different colors for the stat overlays.

The same unrealistic bull**** from the last year is present in the game.
- First foul ball of the game @ 0:23 you can see a graphical slowdown when the ball is coming off the bat. This was always a problem in last years game.
- Triple to RCF @ 1:15 the runner is at second base just as the cf gets the ball. Runner makes third base as the cut off man gets the ball. Either the runner is too fast or the fielder is too slow. Sure, slider MIGHT be able to fix this but why the **** would you put out a marketing video to show off the game with such a glaring oversight?
- Later in the video @ 2:02 there's a double to right center. The outfielder takes an extra step before going into the throw animation. This extra step and slow throwing animation was there last year which allowed for too many extra base hits and especially too many triples.

Love how the person from 2k they are interviewing is a marketing director. That's all this game is this year. Different wrapper, marketing, but the same old tired bull**** at its core.

Strictly visually, it does look like last year, but it may play differently..

This thread is about MLB 2K12. Keep MLB '12 The Show OUT of this thread. You want to compare any aspect of both games.... take it here: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...aseball-games/
