MLB 2K13 Pitcher Perfect Trailer (Screen Captures Included)

[lhslancers]

This game is 2 years old. Doesn't quite remind me of any MLB I have played.

Stop with the million dollar challenge crap, admit that this is worth $30 because it will be a roster update, release it with that price tag, change your release date for 2k14 to august because 2k13 will require three months to patch, leaving you about 6 months to work on 14. If there have been big improvements to franchise mode or my player I will be fine paying $60 but I find it hard to believe it was possible for 2k to have made those necessary improvements

I'm a 2k fan and visually it looks worse than 2k12...How is it the graphics have continued to decline.....not understanding that.

Well, damn. I knew going in that I shouldn't have expected much, but MY GOD those visuals are disappointing. And then I click over to the video of The Show where they've added post-game interviews and even more realistic elements of pre/post-game atmosphere. They are on just a completely different level. Sucks for me for being an xbox owner who loves baseball, I guess.

Problem is, when you play a game, you have to actually look at it. Over and over again. For hours and hours and hours. You have to look at the animations, the colors, the horrible faces, glitchy movements, etc etc. You become increasingly aware of all of the flaws.

Also, let's not get carried away with MLB 2K12/13's gameplay. After tweaking the sliders quite a bit, it's pretty good, but it's not without some serious AI flaws. General base-running stupidity, idiotic CPU managing decisions, bland MyPlayer gameplay, etc. If MLB 2K12/13 featured the best gameplay of any baseball game in recent memory, I would agree that the visuals could be forgiven.

I actually agree. They shouldn't have released gameplay videos. They also shouldn't charge $60 bucks for this. Unless in the next video they plan on listing all of the features they've added to the gameplay and presentation. I mean, even the most redundant of sports games will market 3-4 new features heading into a release. Typically using overwrought, buzzword-y descriptions to at least trick people into thinking that the game is vastly improved from its predecessor. If they can't do that, I can't see charging $60 with a straight face.

This is really just sad. Can someone tell them that just because their game is laughable, doesnt mean they're comedians...

I'd really like to see a real gameplay video. Last year they did that. What is taking so long? The game is completely done. Their main website has no info. At some point they have to say what they improved right? I have a bad feeling we won't even see a demo this year.

I spent two years with this game but quit on it last year. I'm willing to give it another look but please give me a reason. 2K marketing is typically slow and horrible but this is ridiculous. Ronnie 2K is tweeting about new mo-cap for NBA 2K14 and we are getting nothing but the cold shoulder on their MLB game. They have done nothing but reinforce the impression this is just a roster update.

This game looks awful....
