LOL, I was trying to figure out which ET game. I actually enjoyed the Atari 2600 version... if it was lazily developed, I couldn't tell either way.

That game was a blast to play!!! I loved when his head would raise up.

I'm not saying it's "better" turned off or anything like that, but this kind of began with Mt Oread telling me that I'm not using 2K's game system to the best of its ability. It's not so much that I was disagreeing with what he said, but it was the way he said it like I've never given hitter's eye a chance or truly knew what it was accounting for with the hitters or anything, or like I kept the screen pure for purity's sake.

Hitter's eye (the text thing) I feel is implemented very well. Players have an "eye vs left" and "eye vs right" attribute that results in how often a hitter is able to read the pitch and get that text message.

Batter's eye i'll agree is a terrible thing to have in a game much like guess pitch in the show.

Player's on a whole though I feel need something to tip a pitch in these games as trying to read a pitch with human eye's in basically impossible.

Blzr I can definelty see your points. Not updating player portiats is very lazy of the, but then again, once your in franshice the playetpr caps chamge anyway. I'm just saying I enjoyed last years game and I hoping it'll be the same thing year. Maybe they did some work under the hood, who knows. I'm hoping MLB today works, but I didn't play exhibition games. I played My Player and franchise and I had a good time with both.

I've never complained about player portraits. I actually do see them stand out more in franchise than regularly in-game (like Ichiro in that video, for example), but then they could maybe take a page out of SCEA's book and give them an in-game rendered face with a new cap when they switch teams. Just a thought. All I was saying is that apparently everybody else definitely cares about it, because that's all the comments say on that Yankees-Angels video.

I'm a franchise guy through and through, but MLB Season seemed way too intriguing last year. I'm hoping they keep up to date with it. At least if anything, it could be a sign that they are here to stay when it comes to developing games in the future. I don't want 2K to go anywhere... and at the same time I want their football game to return as well.

Speaking of which, since OS probably updated it before we knew 2K was going to be a game, this sub-forum is still called "MLB 2K12" and not "MLB 2K13." I wonder if we can get that changed.

I hate to pan on VC's expense, but he could come back with another snappy joke and say something like: "Sorry, I have less fresh material than a 2K baseball game," or he could use that "glitch" angle as well.

Be careful what you walk into.

[DirtyJerz32]

2k needs to stick around for many reason, NFL is the main one. The player protraits/hats that the other baseball game uses is great. The MLB season did seem interesting last year, it's a shame it didn't work out.

Here's to VC/2k pulling one off this year and going forward.

On the bright side, 2K have a pretty long history of outdated player portraits.

My biggest concern with the game is after release support. I am pretty sure I'll pick it up but it would be nice to know that the game will be supported all though the season.

[Dirty Turtles]

After release support is really key for me. I hope they put out patches as needed for it and don't just shutdown shop after it releases. I'm getting it for three reasons. #1 the new divisional alignment, #2 potentially the last baseball game for 360, #3 they packaged it with NBA in a double pack making it a value buy.
