Major League Baseball 2K12: What We Know Now

[rudyjuly2]

2K does not have zone hitting. You can use the analog stick but it's still a timing system (which I prefer) although more options are always good.

Other the individual pitcher confidence and the AI adapting to pitch sequence we really haven't learned of any other significant gameplay features. Those things are cool but I'd like to hear a lot more. The game releases in less than 4 weeks! There is a feature on Spike TV tonight. I just hope it's not more filler.

i'm loving the necklaces the players wear. Correct me if i'm wrong, but the show doesn't have this does it?

Either way, the game is basically finished. I just hope it's a step up over 2k10 which is the last one I played.


I'm excited to start my franchise!

I intend to buy 2k12 because I need by baseball fix. But the only thing I want is close to a bug free game as possible. And a fun game to keep my attention till the football games come out.

Looks pretty good. I never understood the outfielder head turned away from the infield animation while running toward the wall though. I've already decided to get both games.

The fact that they're packaging MLB 2K12 with NBA 2K12 for only $10 more than a regular game strongly suggests to me that this is it for 2K12.

Nice review of 2K12. The good news is I already made my decision to switch to the show because 2K sports is a complete joke. The best baseball game they released was 2K7 and since then it's went downhill considerably every year. 2K10 wasn't bad but, then again I played it on the PC, adjusted the rosters, recreated the correct uniforms, added players and player portraits ect which made it playable. If you wasn't to read another interesting review that's spot on with 2K12 check out game informer's review.

I'm really hoping that fielding works as good as it sounds.

Having to set yourself before throwing to ensure accuracy sounds like a lot of fun and realistic.

Maybe the days of simply preloading (this goes for both games) and throwing a strike across the diamond off one foot are gone!
