I just went from 6 to midnight.

Agreed, bwiggy, I am a Comp. Science major, at 28 no less, and although I am not sure coding is exactly what I want to do, I would love to be on a team like this. I have my doubts at times, and I voice them, but in the end I cannot let this one go. I am going to look for the best preorder and I hope there is a decent one at Amazon. This will be the first sports game I think where I actually feel a little bit like I am playing the real game. It just looks too awesome.

For those that are going to hang on to 11 I hope you can keep that promise because when it comes time it is going to be hard to resist. There is too much in this game that has been polished to a shine and 11 was pretty much just a middle year imo. 12 is going to be the new statement in sports games especially if online holds up I might even be giving it a try this year.

I watched the video and while it is great I didn't see that much of a difference from it and what I have in "11. An early build? Most likely but.......... Will wait and see, it's still early, but right now I'm not sure if I would spend the money on the upgrades I've seen so far.

Read through my thread. There is so much new stuff I couldn't post it all.

Love it can't wait to see more. OH btw not complaining just pointing out something I noticed, kindler at the plate says he hit a two run home run in the 3rd inning. But the score throughout is 1-1

I'm sorry, but if people feel that it would be hard at all to improve upon 11 in the gameplay department then we have two very different accounts of what realism entails.

I think this year is looking to be one of the biggest upgrades ever in terms of hit variety. That is enough for me to take notice for sure. Franchise may finally be playable without all the crap in previous years. Again, noteworthy.

11 was lacking animations like I lack a million dollars. There are so many areas that it was lacking that I didn't even bother to buy it myself. It had some awesome upgrades but to call it some kind of definitive game is a little crazy.

11 was more like arcade ball imo with its crazy physics and dull animations. This game, even from the limited videos, looks so much better. I hope opd will reconsider. Maybe think of just getting it at a reduced price a couple months down the road.

I like what i see.

To those moaning about the commentary, yes, there were many familiar lines but consider:

a: theres only so many ways to say "a liner to left" etc &
b: more importantly, according to Ramone this was only a 50% presentation build from CES, so many of the bells & whistles and new commentary wont be in it

Clearest thing to me is the new ball physics, you can really tell a difference when the ball leaves the bat, and dont forget this is footage from a video camera so doesnt really do it justice, when SCEA starts releasing their own videos only then will we get a real flavour.

This year to me looks a far bigger jump from 11 than 11 did from 10, so just keep the faith, SCEA always delivers

That's the problem it takes until July in the game to do that when 70 degrees happens before that. Does this include the players too, because that's more annoying taking the time of editing sleeves, armbands etc for them not to have them. I know it's something little but it stinks visually having every player having sleeves when in real life they won't. Maybe in the future an option can be put in when we select uniforms for the game we get a heads up if we want every player to wear sleeves.
