I've been playing baseball games for many, many years and so I don't need to spend a lot of time with a product to pick up its flaws (of which there are obviously many in MLB 2K12). My wife says that I'm too analytical and detail oriented, but hey ... it helps when it comes to determining which games are stinkers, and which ones aren't.

To each their own.
I didn't care for the Batman Arkham Asylum demo but after a friend lent me the full game, I couldn't get enough.
Same with the 2K12 demo. I thought it was 'meh' but then I got the full game and I fell in love.
I was inches from buying a new PS3 for the other game. I'm so glad my brother lent me his PS3 with his copy of the other game. I also rented 2K12 at the same time.
After an hour with each, I unhooked the PS3. I'm really enjoying 2K12.
That's not to say the other game is bad by anymeans. When I had a PS2 and briefly a PS3, I owned the other game with both consoles.
Maybe I needed a change? All I know is I'm having a lot more fun with 2K12 than with the other choice.

I agree on the bolded
I played a game and a half and there is improvement off the demo.
To me anyways.

What does this comment mean?

Maybe I missed it but did you mention that you were reviewing this for the PS3 anywhere in your review? If not, then that would go a long way to stop people from being confused when they don't see the same issues.

I will like to state that 2k12 is a solid title. Yes we know about the hiccups with animation and frame rate, but outside of those technical issues the game is very enjoyable.

I have the slider set where I love them and the game is solid. This is the first year where I did not purchase the show, and went with 2k.

The show is solid , but I felt having the show 11 with a roster update is all I needed to keep playing the show.

With 2k12 I saw allot of new things I like, and the game is different.

A patch for the technical issues and this game is even better, but I personally don't care if they ever patch it for the technical issues. It doesn't effect my results.

Definately Agree, Solid Title, Really needs that Patch though, I get the freeze screen after every foul ball hit to left field. Annoying, but still a very good game

SLIDERS WORK PEOPLE

I wonder how many of the video glitches are caused by people's systems. I have the PC version on a all-in-one PC and I don't see any of the video problems. Oddly, I used to have a problem with slowdowns in animation in 2k11 when trying to play full screen but even that is running glitch free now.

Only owners of PS3 (mainly) and X360 seem to have these problems.I have the pc version (my ps3 always run The Show) and it runs smoothly without a single problem at 1920x1080,4xAA,all other video options maxed out.My system?Kinda old: q6600,8800gt.Ofc is 10 times stronger than the consoles that's why it runs perfect the game.
