Major League Baseball 2K12: What We Know Now

[RaychelSnr]

Every year it’s the same story. 2K always seems late to the party.

While there has been some info released, one can’t help but wonder if 2K is holding something back.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K12: What We Know Now

Good article my friend...From the trailer they just released today a lot looks improved game play wise to me. I seen quite a few new animations, running, tags, slides, swings, catches, catcher and more... I love the MLB today's feature as well since my time is very limited that is all I play!

I don't have time for franchise stuff any more and could care less about trades and contracts. Give me real updated/current living rosters and cool pitching mechanics like 2k gives and I am content for baseball. It may not be pretty but if it's animations are improved and well as other game play stuff then it will be a FUN game again. That is all I look for in a game is if it's fun.

I'm just getting into 2k11 at the wrong time. I may have to give this title a try.

I thought 2k already had zone hitting? and isnt the dual analog stick a form of zone hitting.

I'm kind of hoping that they still have one big feature(Online Franchise) to release, but I have a feeling they went strictly gameplay changes this year for the most part. That's not bad, but online franchise would definitely make this one of the greatest sports games of all time for me.

To the best of my knowledge the left analog stick only influences the direction of the ball not where the bat goes through the zone.

nice new catcher gear

2K does not have zone hitting. You can use the analog stick but it's still a timing system (which I prefer) although more options are always good.

Other the individual pitcher confidence and the AI adapting to pitch sequence we really haven't learned of any other significant gameplay features. Those things are cool but I'd like to hear a lot more. The game releases in less than 4 weeks! There is a feature on Spike TV tonight. I just hope it's not more filler.

i'm loving the necklaces the players wear. Correct me if i'm wrong, but the show doesn't have this does it?

[SkillzKillz719]

Either way, the game is basically finished. I just hope it's a step up over 2k10 which is the last one I played.


I'm excited to start my franchise!

[nolesfan69]

I intend to buy 2k12 because I need by baseball fix. But the only thing I want is close to a bug free game as possible. And a fun game to keep my attention till the football games come out.

[dodgerblue]

Looks pretty good. I never understood the outfielder head turned away from the infield animation while running toward the wall though. I've already decided to get both games.

The fact that they're packaging MLB 2K12 with NBA 2K12 for only $10 more than a regular game strongly suggests to me that this is it for 2K12.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K12: What We Know Now

Nice review of 2K12. The good news is I already made my decision to switch to the show because 2K sports is a complete joke. The best baseball game they released was 2K7 and since then it's went downhill considerably every year. 2K10 wasn't bad but, then again I played it on the PC, adjusted the rosters, recreated the correct uniforms, added players and player portraits ect which made it playable. If you wasn't to read another interesting review that's spot on with 2K12 check out game informer's review.
