Yes. Had all previous years but not this one. Also looked at recent releases and it wasn't there.

That is odd. I saw it there yesterday under M.

I just checked and saw it on Xbox live. Type in MLB 2K12 in the Search bar.

Shows up but I can only rate it. Checked online and it's an issue with my account not renewing Gold subscription. Thanks though.

Looks like a repeat from last years game but it will have to do to hardcore baseball fans

I just had a great game, a pitching duel between Feliz (me) and Westbrook that went into the 10^th, Feliz took a perfect game into the 5^th.
It was cool to see the daylight change during the course of the game, around the 7^th inning the lighting changed to dusk and in the bottom of the 10^th it was actually a night game with the floodlights on.

The AI removed Westbrook after 106 pitches at the beginning of the 9th, but sadly he was not removed in the bottom of the 8^th with 2 men on and 2 outs, he popped out to 1^st and then mclellan started the 9^th. I really hope this is fixed in the full game.

I was using auto fielding and I saw several things of beauty: on a slow grounder to short, andrus charged and threw to first off balance in half a second… but the throw was wide, young caught it with his foot off first and the batter was safe... also kinsler on a groundball to second bubbles it, the ball bounces in front of him, he grabs it barehanded and throws a missile to first for an out.
Both teams grounded into a couple of double plays.

Now with the negatives: using auto baserunning in the 8^th I load the bases with 1 out, Napoli batting, I hit a deep flyball to right, beltran catches it and at this point I was at least expecting the runner on third to try to score… but he didn’t move… he stood there with his feet on the bag as if he was on first… really disappointing and unrealistic.
Also, with auto baserunning I got on base twice with andrus (a walk and a single) and he never tried to steal. Does anyone who played 2k11 know if autobaserunning only applies to situations when the ball is in play or if the AI tries to steal as well?

One last thing… I didn’t see too many foul balls, I’d say about 15 combined in 10 innings. I hope there will be a slider to increase the number of fouls…

That’s it.

How do you play more than 3 innings?

If the game is tied past the third it lets you keep playing. I've had this happen too.

You are not going to get realistic steal stats using auto baserunning.

I also used auto fielding, but not so sure it's been improved from last year. Beltre bobbling a ground ball didn't impress me. I know it's possible, but knowing what I saw last year makes me concerned. There are a few other things I saw that looked similar to last year. One was the CPU hitting inside and outside pitches that went through the middle. Unfortunately, I mostly hit them up the middle where someone made a play. Now what gets me is the CPU hitting inside and outside up the middle and me hitting pitches down the middle up the middle.

At this point, I have mixed feelings about the game. I'll play some more demo games but will wait to hear impressions after the game is out.
