First Candidate For MLB 13 The Show Cover is Bryce Harper, More Details Revealed

[kaptainkarl76]

I seriously..SERIOUSLY..hope that Hype-Train Harper as cover boy is your last choice..

If you are going to put a rookie "phenom" (god i hate that word) on the cover, why not use Trout...He would be more deserving..

Harper looks like a mix between the yellow rapist dude from the movie Sin City and Shrek...Last thing I want to look at for 162 games..

I don't want trout or harper anywhere near the damn cover. Put Mauer back on before these guys ffs.

Now this doesn't mean every time you have great timing and good contact it's going to be a hit. But it's going to be hit hard on a much more consistent basis than it was last year. You won't need swing analysis anymore when you square up on one this year you will know it at the crack of the bat. The ball spray, trajectories, contact, timing, and energy from the hit are much more in line with real life now. Opening up the timing window was only one part of the equation there has been work done on hit types, fielder angles, jumps on the ball, ball physics etc.......... that when added together makes the hitting aspect game extremely dynamic and gratifying this year.

This is the part where I put in an image of a child/cartoon bouncing around in excitement.

The fans are going to vote on the available choices, so Sony is not determining the Cover boy we are! Also, if Trout does not show up as a voting choice, it does not necessarily mean he was not approached.

You'll have to get the Canadian copy for that.

Russell, how about the hot/coldzones for the hitters. Will it be like mvp 05 where we edit those, or do they reflect performance ingame?

Now only if you could get the few guys who "run" the "The Official The Show trade discussion". To think that way.

With the all this improvement going into Franchise mode I already paid off my copy today.
