MLB 2K12 Screenshots (2-10-12)

Why can't it be Gameplay = Graphics? With how much we put into consoles and displays, I expect both from a game at this point. While bad gameplay isn't acceptable, it is at least excusable depending on why (bad coding, rushed product that needs a patch, etc.). Lackluster graphics should neither be acceptable or excusable at this point in the generation console cycle. 2K still looks just removed from last generation, and to some the graphics have actually taken a step back since being introduced to this generation's consoles. I'm sorry, but both should be achievable by 2K at this point.

I couldn't agree more!

Like I've already said before, since VC has taken over the graphics have gotten better every year.

I expect the same for 2K12

But yeah I know we don't want play the game in replay mode...

I agree that's how it should be in a perfect scenario.....but obviously that isn't happening here, so I'd rather they just focus on the gameplay.

Looks great!
Not a day 1 buy, but probably when the season starts i'll pick it up

[smiley3]

Hopefully gameplay videos come out soon !!

Game does not look bad at all to me. If it plays well I will pick it up.

Has nothing to do with nitpicking at all. We're talking facts here. I'm an advertising graphic designer, so I have to tell red from magenta and all the other hues in between there. If I wasn't able to do that, I wouldn't have had that job for that long...

Yes, we all believe that you are a graphic designer rather than just someone trying to gain credibility on the internet while hating and overstating things that others don't care to read or hear about.

He simply said he was a graphic designer, didn't claim he was curator for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, sheesh. Some people actually do go to college and end up with interesting jobs.

That was truly a senseless comment of yours. Try stick to the point next time or continue to lose credibility...

Graphics are the least of my concerns.

Re: MLB 2K12 Screenshots (2-10-12)

what's the deal with the generic cleats, batting gloves etc that are still a part of this franchise? although it seems like a minor visual aspect of the game, i think that it goes a long way in adding an "authentic feel" to the game.

if madden, nba 2k12, and countless other sports games can figure out a way to establish a partnership with equipment sponsors, why cant this VC team do the same? I'm guessing that it's just a lack of resources ($$$) on 2k's side that's holding this back.

It's a win win for both sides, as gamers want to see actual brands in the game and companies benefit from an expansion in their marketing footprint amongst a young consumer base.

From a business standpoint, it makes no sense from both perspectives.

people love to hate on this game

No, six years of mediocre to disasterous next-gen baseball games with minimal-to-no product support breeds animosity and mistrust, simple as that.

Not sure if the situation is the same for 2k, but in the Show forum, the reason they gave for this was that if a deal was signed, the players association would want a cut of the profits as well. Because of that, it is pretty unfeasible to be able to include sponsors while also being financially responsible.

The modders will patch in actual cleats, batting gloves...etc. On pc anyway, if its anything like nba 2k12 a lot of the mods from 2k11 will still be usable in 2k12. And im pretty sure the show has all generic equipment too right?
