	n addition, as you progress through a game with the same pitcher, the response in terms of how effective he is in both accuracy and speed will be shown to give you a better idea of what to expect. As you move deeper into the game and increase your pitch count, even with a fantastic pitcher, the effectiveness of all your pitches will suffer, and deciding the best course of action will come heavily into play to ensure your team leaves with a win. Pitching is not the only aspect of the game that 2K Sports is addressing for 2K12. 2K heard the complaints about past games and is looking to adjust everything that fans of the series have noted as being weak. Fielding is being worked on to ensure better throwing by outfield players. Also, player animations, specifically for the catcher, have been heavily worked on to ensure the players move as they would in real life. Lastly, the graphics engine and lighting have been tweaked to give a more realistic viewing experience.

This sounds really cool. I don't think the pure visuals in this game will ever be awe-inspiring, but I really love the way they're doing the strategy. It's pretty cool that a batter will be able to dial in on your fastball if you keep throwing it in the same speed and the same location and the same count in successive at-bats. I know that folks will complain that the CPU is cheating when this happens to them, but it's super realistic.

I hope they have a pitch recognition rating or slider that makes clear differentiation between guys who make these adjustments well and guys who don't.

The sky looks cool but the shadowing is pretty week on Verlander. It's like there's no depth or something.

Also I hope the batting helmets look better this year. Not enough shine on those guys!

If so, this might be the baseball game for me to get this year but only if it impacts the gameplay / game.
