Most games do not run at 60fps with tons of fans in the vicinity. I think you might be pleasantly surprised by this year. If anything was disconnected it was the players' animations. Grass is just not going to be 3D but I agree there could be improvements to skylines in general.

Still, not many games this gen even run at 60fps and many other sports games do not have to do as much as this one. Football, where many fans are also rendered, albeit with much less quality, is far behind The Show in terms of graphics.

Hockey and Basketball seem to get away with not having to do as much imo and the Stadiums are MUCH less work.

I said they build on the solid foundations, so I guess SCEA didn't consider the old ball physics solid.

I always turn off commentary as I want the "On the field/in the stands" feeling. However for those that like it hopefully one day it will satisfy you.

Can't wait to see more videos and the wait keeps getting harder and harder.

I can tell you one thing, I'm already sick of seeing gameplay videos. I'm ready for the demo. To me the ball physics look way better than 11. I can tell that there is going to be so much more variety to hits, which is something this game drastically needed. The fielders also move much better. The thing is all this team has to do is continue to make small improvements to the gameplay where it's necessary. It is already so good that there isn't much change that absolutely has to be done. All that's left is continuing to improve the aesthetics of the game, which is enough for me because I'm a visual guy when it comes to baseball games.

For people saying they may just keep 11 well the reason I will continue buying this game is not so much the gameplay changes, it's to show that I appreciate their effort when it's all said and done. I have never ever seen a game more committed to listening to the gamers and what they want changed. To me I think spending the 60 dollars is worth the price for them to keep making the game better each and every year.

What other games have:

1. Exact scoreboard overlays and LED's for each stadium
2. The extra things such as beach balls, fans running on the field, umpires/officials with different personalities
3. Every aspect of each stadium/arena done to almost perfection
4. Cyberfaces for even the crappiest of players (ex: Matt Tolbert) Also think of all the players they have to create. What other sport has that? None

There are countless other things that can be listed as well. I just don't know how anyone can complain or not want to buy MLB 12. It's just crazy. They constantly update all aspects and there is just no way that MLB 12 will be completely similar to MLB 11. However I do understand the reasons why someone wouldn't buy, but IMO I will fork out the 60 dollars every year to show my appreciation to the work they do. If only the NHL, Madden, and NCAA development teams were as dedicated as them. I've finally learned my lesson from buying those three games on a yearly basis.

Oh man yes nice observation, loved the way he followed through his swing.
This is shaping up to be a very great year for SCEA

I seriously love comments like these, really inspires me to continue practicing my coding skills to possibly work with someone like them in the future. The community of this site is amazing

Honestly it's amazing what they do. I don't even have a clue at how much hard work and time is spent in perfecting the codes that they put in. I mean it's crazy. I actually wish I could sit in on a full development cycle for The Show just to see what they exactly do to create everything. I think a lot of times we forget how hard and complicated this stuff is. However, at the end of the day they did sign up to do their job properly which is why when people spend 60 dollars on a game they don't want some broken garbage that has so often happened with the games I mentioned earlier. We are very lucky to at least have The Show. NBA 2k can probably go into this category but basketball is not my thing so I don't buy the game. I have played it a few times and it is a very good game.

It has been fixed. It is based on temperature.

Below 70 will wear sleeves. Above they will not.
