LOL, that gave me a pretty funny visual.

The more I play the demo the more I like it. I didn't think I was going to buy this game this year but I am going to after playing the demo.

I am not impressed by this demo. I know that usually demo's aren't a good way to judge the game but...wait, what? The sole purpose of a demo is to judge the game and get an inkling of how the game will be. MLB2k7 roster updating here I come!

I guess the same reason you use a shot stick in basketball, but don't actually control the players dribbling or running.

Ok, I did it.
After years of only playing The Show, yesterday I pre-ordered 2k12 on amazon.

I was really impressed by the pitcher/hitter battle, by the feeling you get when laying off a bad pitch and in general I got a more natural feeling when it comes to how an at-bat develops, as opposed to The Show where things seem to be more scripted.
Mlb 2k12 gave me a great "baseball feeling".

I still think the other game is superior, but I am really looking forward to get this one

I believe this will be the last version of MLB 2K released, more than ever.

The slower (than normal) trickle of information, screens and videos... the developers' focus on refinement rather than major improvement... and the overwhelming sense of 'sameness' between 2K11 and 2K12 is a sign the project did not have a deep pool of resources. Budget, artists, programmers - you name it.

The game seems like a lot of fun. Again, I love the pitching. But its weird having such advanced pitching and then such simple hitting.

The cutscenes that show a closeup of a player and then show the grass are some of the ugliest video game cutscenes I've ever seen. The grass textures are horrendous for a game released in 2012.
