MLB 12 The Show Gameplay Video - New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers

[stlchamp10]

At first when the screen shots came out and the preview vids and what not, I was like this game hasn't changed much and it will be the same game with new animations. But after watching all these vids, all the small things be it; animations, presentation, camrea angles, has turned this into almost a brand new game. March 6th is gonna be the start of a don't bother me or I'll cut your head off day .

lol! That "Hall of Fame" broadcaster out there? I agree. Terrible. I don't understand how anyone thinks he's good, or how he's kept his job for so long. See "Ben Stein does MLB commentary".

I love the addition of the cut scene on Delmon Young's HR, where it showed Leyland. Say it was a walk off home run, is there a cut scene showing the manager excited, or something of that nature? Watching a Reds game, the first thing that's shown on a go-ahead home run or a walk off, is Dusty Baker jumping for joy in the dugout.

you mean the legend Vin Scully?
he was in an old show game or two
05 or something.

My main problem beyond the disconnect between the guys, is the fact that its been the same top two guys for ages. So no matter how good they get it, its still gonna feel old.

Kind of the way i feel about John Sterling.

Where is all this refreshing new commentary they told us about? I haven't heard any as of yet. Oh and I know I'm committing a SIN against nature to give a negative review here. In case you were wondering this year as in every year I pre- ordered this game, that won't be the case next year.

Nope, wasn't wondering.

Ok, first at all I don’t understand how so many people here on this board, that are “The Show” veterans are so excited about many features that has been in the game since 2006 (PS3) or even before on the PS2, SCEA is NOT doing us a favor, they are selling the game for $59.99 and making a lot of money, so, they better try to improve the game, the game has been the same for years, and this year is not different here is why:

Presentation:
- Same old commentary
- Same stadium announcer
- Same camera angles, same on reply also, same comments
- Almost same overlays for years
- Same display on the screen on what to do, we all know, we have been doing the same for years!
- Same cut scenes, they try to copy the other game by showing the pitcher between pitches, didn’t work

Graphics:
In my honest opinion this game looks exactly the same as 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, very few minor changes, does not mean that looks bad, but the same.

Gameplay:
Havent played the game by myself, I can’t have an opinion but, by the videos, I can see more of the same on every department of the ball game, I really don’t see that ball physics that everyone here is so excited about, I’m still watching several line drives, can someone please show me an example of the “all new” ball physics?

I’m so bored of the same stuff on this game, because I have played every version since 2006 (so I consider myself as a LOYAL customer) that honestly I can’t even finish the videos, by 2 minutes already is like watching the same thing all over again and listening to the same thing all over again, sport video games in general are getting stale, is not only “The Show” but this game as well as the other sport games should be sell by $29.99, rosters updates, season updates and minor changes does not justify $59.99 every year, they should at least include a franchise save continue option from last year game, I don’t know why this hasn’t been done since a baseball season is very long, but in computer software’s when you upgrade to newer versions, you can always update the data, why not in a baseball game? Why don’t transfer all your old data from past years version to the newer version?
Overall, pretty disappointed and not buying this year game, not even renting… this is just my opinion, for all the people that are excited with game good for you! But to me, it is unacceptable that this game has been getting away with the same game for years without getting the critics that deserve for doing it. Best thing that can happens for us baseball video gamers is the same that need to happen for football, no more exclusive licenses, “The Show” is the better option and almost the only option that PS3 owners have, and they know it, that’s why the little improvement. I hope that 2K doesn’t renew their license and we can have more option by next year, and more competition.

What's in bold is all you really have to say.
