MLB 2K12 Screenshots (2-10-12)

[thegodpapi34]

what's the deal with the generic cleats, batting gloves etc that are still a part of this franchise? although it seems like a minor visual aspect of the game, i think that it goes a long way in adding an "authentic feel" to the game.

if madden, nba 2k12, and countless other sports games can figure out a way to establish a partnership with equipment sponsors, why cant this VC team do the same? I'm guessing that it's just a lack of resources ($$$) on 2k's side that's holding this back.

It's a win win for both sides, as gamers want to see actual brands in the game and companies benefit from an expansion in their marketing footprint amongst a young consumer base.

From a business standpoint, it makes no sense from both perspectives.

No, six years of mediocre to disasterous next-gen baseball games with minimal-to-no product support breeds animosity and mistrust, simple as that.

Not sure if the situation is the same for 2k, but in the Show forum, the reason they gave for this was that if a deal was signed, the players association would want a cut of the profits as well. Because of that, it is pretty unfeasible to be able to include sponsors while also being financially responsible.

The modders will patch in actual cleats, batting gloves...etc. On pc anyway, if its anything like nba 2k12 a lot of the mods from 2k11 will still be usable in 2k12. And im pretty sure the show has all generic equipment too right?

What business does the players association have in stepping in on an agreement between 2 independent parties? Sweet free market system we got going on there.

Couldn't they sidestep the dilemma by assigning all generic equipment to all players in the final retail build, but having the sponsored equipment as either an unlockable or editable feature?

I am getting tried of hearing poeple complain about how this player should have these shoes or that neckless, and the shade of blue is off. Big deal, all that matters is how the gameplays. Why sit there and play a game to say "wow those shoes look pretty.". Does that really mean much. Look if the game play was 100% perfect, then yeah focus on eye candy. But in till then let the delvopers work on game play.

P.s. when they read these forums they must laugh at those comments.
