MLB 2K12 Video - Official Trailer

Animations look much smoother. Although it's really the transition animations that need the work, and they clipped that vid pretty severely which makes it difficult to tell for sure. As usual with this series, the question is if they've improved the gameplay, added more options, fixed the lack of groundballs and late inning AI logic, etc.

Great new animations and I like the look of rounding the bases. I wish some improvement had been made to the lighting/shadows, but I can't complain with what I'm seeing from the smooth gameplay...

...also could have used more Giants

MLB 12 the show is far superior then this. Good improvements though but still a very long road before they can match the greatness.

Making comparisons between the two games is a quick and easy way to get banned around here, just to give you a heads up.

One thing that struck me right away was Ozzie Guillen. Looks like they may have spent some time getting the managers looking more lifelike.

yeah, if one were to make that comment in a different thread he would have been in big trouble.

Looked decent...I still have some gripes

This is an assumption, but from what I see on the passed ball, the catcher still doesn't take his mask off, which some can argue is a small detail, but it's a fundamental part of the game/playing the position!

2k11 played a decent-good game of baseball, but it has so many small things that ruin the whole immersion effect. I don't know if this is the proper post to whine/complain, so I'll keep it short.

Home plate plays are not exciting. Umps always look like they are kind of just standing around. The catcher never blocks the plate (another fundamental part of the position).

Similar note, outfield throws, with that stupid hop, look bad. Especially under a fly ball, and a runner is tagging from third, once your inside the circle, you can't adjust your player to move behind the ball to charge up the throw.

Small detail, but players often just stand around, coming in/out of transitions (end of play/inning, hitting->running, after throwing/catching ball) are often not smooth and make the players feel robotic.

There is just no life in the game, crowd noises, player reactions, etc.

Sorry to sound like a *****, I look forward to 2k12, I'm just tired (as with many other people I'm sure), of getting disappointed!
