"2K Sports today released the first in a series of digital films for Major League Baseball 2K12 starring the AL Cy Young award winner, MVP and 2K Sports cover athlete Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers. In the video, we find Justin Verlander and Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson parked outside the Perfect Club, a private club reserved for everything perfect - including past perfect game pitchers and even 2K Sports' alumni of $1,000,000 winners. Despite Justin's many accomplishments, he has yet to achieve perfection on the mound and thus is not allowed in the club. But if he tries hard enough to master the pitching controls in MLB 2K12 and throws the most perfect game in the $1,000,000 Perfect Game Challenge, then Justin might have a chance to finally get into the club.

Overall and from the few snippets they showed, the game still looks like something that could have been released in 2007. The transition animations from the BTP cam look just as jittery/jumpy as ever, like they haven't been fixed since World Series Baseball 2K3. I suppose at this point in the next-gen cycle, it's too much to expect them to do some newer mo-cap. Maybe in 2014? Anyway, it's now February 7th. This is the sort of preview they should have been showing two months ago, not 4 weeks before release day.

The footage from the tv actually looked really really good but the last few large shots didnt look much different from last year.
Again, I'd like to see some gameplay, not a commercial, pretty funny though.

Not expecting that much in overall visual improvements from 2K at this point, so any small upgrades (video board player overlay, ribbon boards, etc.) will be fine. Gameplay and CPU strategy, on the other hand, has to improve drastically over last year.
