That's true - I was speaking from my point of view. Vita only gamers will be fast-play only. I wouldn't begin to speculate on the users that will be 100% Vita, but I don't imagine the number (%) will be high. Again, not a big deal for me personally.

Thanks for the confirmation, guys. I must have missed this tidbit. It kind of reminds be of the NES Baseball days - not a knock, just an observation.

I'm game development you always shoot for the lowest common denominator. I would much rather have someone say they think the ball is to big, rather them saying its to small. If it's to small and you can't bat or field correctly then you won't play the game.

Absolutely, which is why I finished the sentence by kind of saying that exact thing.

It looks to me as if the ball were bigger when it leaves the bat and goes back to normal size after being caught and thrown to another fielder. Am I wrong here? Not a game breaker for me but it looks a little odd.

only thing i don't like is that they still leave GABP's backstop blank...

I think someone on here said that the C logo was added to the backstop, but I'm not 100% sure.

Wait, you mean just on the Vita, right? I always hated the, if you will, "big ball" look. I mean, I won't be getting the Vita, but it won't look as big on PS3 right? haha

People in the know should correct me if I'm wrong, but this should only be for Vita... All the videos from PS3, the ball looked the same as before, which means no super-exaggerated magnification as in Vita.

Yea, I kind of figured that'd be the case, but anyhow, cool deal. Thanks for the response. Magnified ball or not, looks great on Vita.

But if I don't get the Vita, I won't get fired for playing The Show all day at work. Man, sometimes I hate making responsible decisions.

Sweet the batter walk ups was the thing I really wanted

(presentation-wise) Now, just talking from what I've seen. Not sure if it'll be an option. Can anybody confirm this?

The PS3 fastplay had homerun celebrations when the home team hit a homerun and then just went to the next batter when the visiting team sent one to the bleachers. So I guess that is likely what the vita will be like.

This is a thing of beauty, March 6 please get here. Thanks Ramone!

Waiting for Ps Vita to come in my country. Will buy it the same day it releases here. With such processor and Gpu, its gonna be a completely great gaming experience without unfollowing itself. Also, MLB 12 on PsVita looks awesome.

I would have preferred the option of maintaining the full presentation/replay/cut scene experience on the Vita. Is it confirmed that none of this is available - including any automatic replays after a "great" play, etc?

# 57 speels @ 02/08/12 12:01 PM

I have a quick question as I am really struggling with whether to get a Vita or not. What would be a major reason to get a 3G/Wifi as opposed to just a Wifi version? When you save on the Vita, not every save is to the cloud right? I can transfer from the PS3 to the Vita at home with Wifi, save from the cloud to the Vita at home with Wifi, and then play while I am away. The when I get home I can transsfer from the Vita to the PS3. Ic that correct?? I don't need to be hooked to the internet everytime I save on the Vita do I?

Also, IIRC roster vault and sliders are available to download on the VIta, correct?

What you see on the video is what you get. Based on the amount of responses for those wanting a full presentation game for the vita, the developers may have just assumed(IMO incorrectly) that the show gamers would have wanted a quick on the go game. Again this was not about power as the vita was capable of broadcast presentation. This is an interesting decision because the psp version bacause you did have replays and it was closer to full version. Russell did say that full presentation will likely not be in 13' version so I guess we have got to just accept it. If you have played ps3 fast version you will agree that at least the vita version is more balanced.

I'm still doing research on this and sharing what I have gathered so far. Please correct me someone if I'm wrong.

It's a matter of preference and your usage. I don't need access to the network all the time and Vita with 3G won't be available in where I live, so I'm going with WiFi.

You might need 3G if you will be using some application where universal access to the network is essential/useful, but if you are a mostly offline guy I don't see the value (not to mention you need subscription which costs more $$ monthly). I have a Kindle with 3G and that's been useful when I'm shopping in an offline bookstore without WiFi and want to check Amazon reviews and stuff (something local bookstore despise me of I suppose), but it's still not an absolutely essential feature for me.

I believe that's how it works. You can transfer between Vita/PS3 via WiFi and cloud (one save file per mode), and you can also save locally (as many saves as you like) on Vita/PS3 without being on network.

Yes.

I sure hope there will be an option to use other presentation modes in future, and if there's a big enough community demand, the devs may consider it some time in future.
