This is the biggest crock of horsecrap I've ever seen posted at OS. This one really shows arrogance in its fullest example. Wow...smh. You are so far from the truth it's pathetic. I don't have the $$$$$$$$$$ to purchase two systems... It has nothing to do with "knowledge" of baseball. What a stupid comment...

I've visited those forums only a couple times - and ONLY because I was reviewing their classic rosters and wanted some information. Again, another comment based on anything but facts. I don't believe for one second that anyone here at the 2K forums are "baiting" with their comments. It's you guys who come over here to remind us of how great your game is... It really needs to stop, and I believe it will quite soon...

Step back and read his other posts in this thread mk...he's being facetious.

TRUST ME - in 2K12 EACH at-bat will literally put fear in you. Even with user pitching accuracy you can hit your spots, BUT you have to think like a pitcher and use the help given on-screen. I don't know... I guess it just gets me that 1) this thread turns into a comparison of The Show, and 2) how can we continually bash the hell out of this game... Look - I get it... The show is the "holy grail" of video baseball games. I've never played it, I've only seen a handful of pictures of it, and I've never even walked over to a PS3 at the mall and gave it a go. And I never will... We can complain here all we want, but if the dev's never come here to look at this stuff, it's all for not. Maybe my standards are low - I don't know. But what I do know is this game is the funnest baseball game I've played since MVP Baseball 05 for the original xbox (that I would continually get the updated rosters from a MVPMods). The graphics are beautiful (yeah, like everyone else I wish the color palette was expanded) and the commentary is immense. The game has its flaws... But show me a game without them. I'm not a 2K apologist. But I've also given up on most of my EA sports titles because they've went downhill terribly. We'll just need to wait and see what 2K13 looks like - as I see I'm in the minority on this, and I'm willing to wait and even have high hopes they've cleaned some things up from 12. Even if it's a cleaned up version of 12, with updated rosters (that I'll no doubt work on again this year), and adding the Astros to the AL - I'll be happy enough.

This is all good and dandy... if there were offset camera angle options and a better check swing mechanism.

The check swing mechanic is the one thing that really pisses me off in this game and the fact that it had to be patched in is just......

Didn't that get patched in for 2K10?

The mechanic works perfectly in 2K12. It was glitched in 2K11, as every check swing was called a strike. But I don't see the problem with the check swing in 2K12.

Yeah, he was clearly joking around/being sarcastic...but sometimes it's easy to miss that stuff on the internet. Tone is hard to convey online.

I'll get 2k13 under 2 conditions

1) It's available for PC

2) Every game doesn't feel predetermined
