MLB 12 The Show Features 14 New Umpires With All New Personalities and Other Tidbits

[Pared]

No more of this.

If you don't care, you don't need to post. It's that simple.

You can post how you're looking forward to something else - but posting simply to tell everyone you don't care is risking an infraction.

Let's get back to the topic.

They need to improve on commentary and presentation. MLB the show game was the first one i played and I was disappointed. I literally feel asleep %50 of the time playing that game. I gave it one month and never played it again. 2k sucked too. But the presentation and commentary brought a sense of realism.

That's right -- who cares about fixing the hitting mechanics. I mean, if they have new cleats, then I'm sure I'll plop down $60.

These ignorant comments needs to stop. They don't add anything to the discussion.

This is a thread to let others know about tidbits being leaked from the Pictures thread by a member of the team.

This is nothing even close to an official feature list. You have no idea what is being done to the game this year because nothing has been released.

So stop the snide comments - the forum doesn't need them.

Sheesh, alright then.

I guess I'll try and get this back on track..

In the screen shot of Jose Bautista (new blue uniform - sorry don't feel like posting the pic but I think we all know which one it is) it shows him holding his bat in the air after hitting what appears to be a homerun. Someone in the other thread suggested that it may be a signature swing "finish." I didn't see anyone confirm nor deny this yet. Can we get some confirmation that the signature swing "finish" has made it into this years game?

Edit: Just checked the other thread; credit would go to abcabc for pointing this out.

Didn't they already have different "no doubter" home run reactions for each player? I seem to remember the reaction from a guy like Manny Ramirez being a lot more arrogant than a guy like David Eckstein.

Below is the umpire roster for MLB 12 The Show. I didn't think we would need to state this. However, we haven't revealed one new focus or back of the box feature for MLB 12 The Show. Just some of the little things that might not deserve that type of attention, but are important to the overall package none the less. The devil is in the details, for instance we have an entirely new tag animation system this year. That creates more dynamic and organic player iteration on the base paths and at the plate this year. Not a back of the box feature, but a pretty big addition none the less. We are showing the game to press for the FIRST time this week in NYC. So in the next week or so you will get to read about what we have been working diligently on for the past year. This years title has a combination of over 70 new features, enhancements, artificial intelligence improvements/re-writes, and additions.

So hold your horses there will be plenty of content to rejoice or complain about soon enough :-).


Anyway back on topic, returning umpires this year from previous versions of The Show are.
