Some MLB 2K13 Ratings Revealed, Along with a Few Shaky-Cam Videos and Impressions

Any word on check swings? Also, how about infield fly rule? (and not the kind from last year's playoffs)

I know myself - I will trade in a few games and purchase this because I'm a sucker for sports games. But 2K, I fear, will leave me disappointed...

I think the game looks a little bit better in motion than in the past. Nuanced things but it seems to be, to me at least a little smoother for lack of better term.

Seriously though, those player models are U-G-L-Y. Fielding animations and player models need to be addressed at some point for future versions, imo.

Still love the commentary

The only game I know of where you can cut the ball off in flight is PYS.

Used to be able to do it in 2k. I think it disappeared starting with 2k11, but not totally sure.

Ya, I recall that 2k9 had it (if only outfielders caught the ball 2k9 would have been really good in my opinion). Don't remember is 2k10 did.

If 2k13 fixed the cut off men that may be just about enough for me to warrant a purchase. But the games I'm getting in 2k12 with the new roster set and attribute edit have been awesome.

I'm going to go out there at lunch again today to try and snap some video/images.

How quickly do you believe there will be a Redeitt version for 2K13?

I might even buy 2K12 just for these edits. It sounds like you found the holy grail of attribute changes here Shogun. Great work!

I appreciate all the effort MK, Bretsky & Shogun are doing with 2k12, but after playing 2k8, which has accurate colors and nice gameplay, looking @ 2k12 again is just meh to me due to the in-accurate colors..

It's sad that 2k shipped & allowed 2k12 to go thru a whole cycle without fixing the colors

Please check on check swings and cutoff button stuff for us, Flaxseed. This will determine whether I just keep playing 2k11 or not.

Thank you Sir. And can double plays be broken up?

Hey flaxseed,

When u go check the game out, please note if the outfielders that isn't in the primary path of the ball is still jogging and lacking effort getting there. Which causes doubles and triples in the gap. Also if u heading home on a play from third, see if there is that pause glitch that the fielders do that causes runs and inside the park home runs sometimes. Trying too see if the CPU has urgency when throwing home and getting the ball to the cutoff man. I see they got some colors right, but this is a primary concern for me...thanks!!!!!

Joe, can you check your swing in 2K8?

I'm not sure what I'm going to do at this point with 2K baseball. I'd like to get 2K13 for the updated schedule, uniform colors and rosters, but then the guys on the boards here have done great things with 2K12; the gameplay videos that have been posted look like a completely different game, and that is impressive.

Are there plans to make those edits for 2K13?

Just played 20 minutes. Home teams were the Braves, Pirates and Indians. Turner Field doesn't have the This Is Braves Country. Julio Tehearn pitched and he looked good. Never announced his name. No Justin Upton and had Prado. Could have sworn I heard the Tomahawk music after one strike 3. Announcers brought up fan delay in playoffs. Played against the A's and they looked good. Cepedes? names was never announced but brought up A's winning division.

Indains had Swisher and Astros had new design and talked about how terrible their road record was. Indians also had Myers pitching.

Pirates stadium of PNC Park looked great. The city bakckground looked excellent.

Camera shots of last out on strike 3 were very sharp, and fielding was smoother. Pitching seemed a little more difficult but more enjoyable. Pitcher did walk to his own dugout after 3rd out instead of starting towards visitor clubhouse.

If I play again, will give updates.

The game does play completely different. Maybe I'm crazy but I haven't seen the glitches that I used to, like not throwing and stuff like that. They seem to play a calm less frantic game of baseball.

In my theory / opinion, the anticipation attribute gets them going too quickly and the animations can't keep up with their decision making. Similar to the goalies in NHL 2k10. Dropping aniticipation immediatly calmed them from split saving everything.

I like to tinker with attributes in baseball and hockey games. We'll see if 2k13 needs to be tinkered with. Hopefully they read the impressions post edit, saw some of the gameplay videos and tuned their game to implement that improvement. We'll see

I really hope so too.
But honestly, and as big of a 2K supporter that I am, I'd be shocked if one employee of 2KSports ever came on these boards.
The edits you've performed have made such a drastic improvement, I would hope that 2K could acknowledge their benefit and implement them in 2K13.

Might give 2K13 a shot this year...diggin' the lighting in the game,announcers, & the ballparks, but what is w/ the Yosemite Sam voice overs & the umps? small pet peeve, but they need new player models & some new umpire voice overs fo sho.
