Good game play video. For some reason the Cubs vs. Cards video is better. The commentary seems way better. This one here seems like The Show 11, but graphically you can see its not. Weird...

Nice to see a bit of CoPa in the early vids this year.

Nice to see theyve also nailed Boesch and his looks this year

Also great to see some of the park improvements thaSLAB worked hard to get in there for us.

thoughts:

+ love what i have seen thus far as far overlays. key is more, more, more.
- commentary. was anything done to it? theres parts where it sounds worse than before. during a team hr leader overlay all 3 announcers sat silent. Campbell should vanish 1st and foremost.
+ the broadcast graphics are a good start, looks like they might have a visually defining look they r going for.
- Gloves and bat sounds are not mixed well. too loud. it takes a good situation where they rerecorded the sounds and turned it into a bad one by having them be so over the top. yes i know theres probably a way to mix it yourself, but thats not our job. it should be set already.
+ home run thoughts: cool to see cutaway to the bench, and new angles. but they should show the guy going into the dugout giving high fives, like u see on tv, and also put a drop down DURING the HR. Crowd was a bit dead on the dinger.

1:40 mark they show the home run team leaders with no response from the booth. Yeah that would happen in a broadcast, they'd ignore the graphic and stay silent.

These cutscenes between pitches and foul balls are cute but how long before people are just mashing buttons to get past them?

You complain about authenticity in terms of commentary... (which, from what I've seen they DO mention it) then go on to complain about authenticity in regards to the presentation.

....right.

What they should have instead of removing it is a dimming feature on it. That way you could dim the brightness to the point that it blends in with the field, but for those of us who don't know the pitch repetoire could still somewhat see it. And if you wanted it removed you could dim to the point that it disappeared.

You know what feature these OS boards have that they haven't gotten rid of even though not many people use it? Multi-Quote! That way I don't need to read three Negative Nancy posts of yours right in a row. Instead, I could just skip one post!

I do like the ticker across the bottom of the screen.

Very awesome when they put that in a few years back.

Have fun waiting, you're probably not going to hear anything different.

I did like how A-Rod had his shin guard on protecting the inner leg, just like in real life.

Still doing the boring home run trot instead of the one used on broadcasts. You know the one where cameraman is close to the ground and make the guy coming around to home plate look "heroic" and then following him into the dugout. Does anyone even watch baseball games?

I'm sorry if you all are blown away by recycled material. ("Caveman swinging a club", "amazing" shortstop jump throws, replays of outfielders trying to catch HR's they can't reach, insert Karros dialogue). It looks like we've entered COD, NBA 2K territory. It's as I feared, most of the time was spent on the VITA.

Why are you here? All you do is cry about this game. Go play that "other game" and go away!

ENOUGH.

Get back to the topic, please.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Gameplay Video - New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers

ENOUGH.

Get back to the topic, please.

And to pick up on this...I know this comment alone won't solve the dilemma once the game ships, but people ARE allowed to have negative comments about the game so long as they do it constructively.

Yankees2009Champs didn't trash any of the developers of the game. He didn't say the game was stupid or dumb or a POC. He pointed out what he didn't like and why he felt it didn't deliver in his eyes.

The same way you guys love how amazing the game is, he doesn't like what's missing.

That being said, it goes both ways. So if he makes a comment about lack of commentary authenticity and then complains about presentation authenticity, he shouldn't expect that a member (or Pared in this case) wouldn't call him out on it.

And this is done. This message brought to you by a moderator. We're always watching. Now enjoy the videos.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Gameplay Video - New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers

I have been pretty critical on the show but like what I see...if u dont like campbell then mute him! I see improvements in commentary and the overlays are very crisp...love the new batting and pitching they have implemented...i like like the improvements.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Gameplay Video - New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers

If you guys have a problem with the commentary in the show, try listening to the commentary in a Los Angeles Dodgers game.

Personally, i don't mind the commentary, maybe its because I'm new to the series, but it doesn't bother me at all, I'm just glad that everything looks so real in the show, after coming over from playing the 2k series for the past 5 years. The show looks amazing.

But Prince Fielder is in desperate need of a new batting stance.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Gameplay Video - New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers

Wow, Comerica Park looks like it's from an entirely different game. Just a few subtle changes in the wall color, and the "tigers.com tickets" in the bullpen, and it looks awesome. So much better than it used to.

I liked how on Delmon Young's rounding of the bases, it looked so much more realistic than in years past. Even though he hit an opposite field homer. But I guess he did have one agaisnt New York in the postseason so that gets a pass :P

The numbers seemed pretty realistic, I'm not sure about the stances though. Jackson's is alright, but Boesch and Raburn's didn't look very good I think. The ones I used for them last year were much better. They also sped up Max Scherzer's delivery.

But the different variations in the cleats/batting gloves was very cool.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Gameplay Video - New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers

At first when the screen shots came out and the preview vids and what not, I was like this game hasn't changed much and it will be the same game with new animations. But after watching all these vids, all the small things be it; animations, presentation, camrea angles, has turned this into almost a brand new game. March 6th is gonna be the start of a don't bother me or I'll cut your head off day .

lol! That "Hall of Fame" broadcaster out there? I agree. Terrible. I don't understand how anyone thinks he's good, or how he's kept his job for so long. See "Ben Stein does MLB commentary".

Re: MLB 12 The Show Gameplay Video - New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers

I love the addition of the cut scene on Delmon Young's HR, where it showed Leyland. Say it was a walk off home run, is there a cut scene showing the manager excited, or something of that nature? Watching a Reds game, the first thing that's shown on a go-ahead home run or a walk off, is Dusty Baker jumping for joy in the dugout.

you mean the legend Vin Scully?
he was in an old show game or two
05 or something.

My main problem beyond the disconnect between the guys, is the fact that its been the same top two guys for ages. So no matter how good they get it, its still gonna feel old.

Kind of the way i feel about John Sterling.
