true. The "problem" is I'm not a big fan of Japanese baseball at all so I only play PYS because the game itself is awesome. Too bad Konami doesn't have the licence to make a MLB game, I would be the happiest person on earth

I don't think you have to worry.

Oh please - Add in the fact they have NEW commentary as the year progresses with NBA Today... and there isn't a sports game out there with better commentary.

Period.

The Show needs to get onto that level... and it will.

Since I am new to The Show , Only getting a PS3 this November for my birthday and having MLB11 to play I have nothing but great things to say and like about the game. Having said that and having only the 2K series to play before I am like a kid in a candy store with The Show and can only say that MLB12 should be awesome for me. So you that complain about it being the same doesn't bother me in the least and am glad to pay my $60.00 for an awesome baseball experience.

These feature announcements didn't solve hunger, world peace or diabetes, guess I'll stick to the old games. oh wait, what?, this is the beginning of info to the public and there is over 2 months of features and press releases to come out? nah I heard enough. if they didn't tell us everything day one it's not in there. lol

I think these are some sweet features. the forum has been asking for awhile. I know there's more but these features will make a difference. I have pretty high expectations this year, but I won't get ahead of myself.

I like the new additions, and rightly so I expect other features mentioned when they have more media days and reviews. I think my policy this year is to comment on the features being discussed and not chastising a game development group before we know everything, just seems logical and right

wow, just wow.

granted when u play in franchise, you hear the same stories for your team.
I think there should be some sort of code that knows which team u chose, and then limits that teams stories/anecdotes.
But most overrated?
Good god, its light years above anything out there.
Have u heard ANY of the Madden's?, FIFA? Tiger? Fight Night?
Yuck lol
To each his own, but to me, its no contest.

great to see that they are working on the presentation.
But what about the swing stick. any refinements,any chnages. last years swing stick was not fun at all. it wasnt intuitive enough.

[The Kid 24]

Anybody heard if we getting new or more equipment choices this year?? Also, anything about fielding gloves being fixed?? (Where every pitcher/infielder doesn't have trapeze style web and every outfielder doesn't have open style web)

Thank GOD!!!!! These two things I hated about the show, the presentation and the commentary. I hope that it's dynamic and flows with the game. Presentation needs too be varied along with commentary that talks about the stats displayed. More stats overlays and not just about the game, but stats about season comparisons and individual standings in the season. I hope they get this right, because MLB2k11 does this well and there commentary is just as good. I'm looking forward too what's next from Sony, and we could have two good baseball games this year.
