My strategy of staying away from seeing too much info/screenshots to keep down my excitement has paid off...until now! The four gameplay videos posted yesterday have me SO pumped up for 12! Thank goodness there are only a couple of weeks left.

I would of like them to add a "Wind" indicator to the overlay screen somehow . The wind does change direction too during a game not sure if they had that in the game .

It could of made a difference on that home run possibly ..

Here's my synopsis:

PROS -

Fantastic graphics! Crowd, lighting, players, stadium are all stunning (As usual).
Game play and ball physics look right on.
LOVE the new ball-off-bat and mitt sounds!
Replay graphics are fresh and cool-looking.
Faces and stances have life and are convincing.
Some new stat overlays.

CONS -

Commentary still dry, boring, and stiff. I just don't know if I can take another year of the same audio...Ugh

No dirt on unis after infielders dive in the dirt.
Batting cursor is worse this year.

Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward to a new season of MLB!!!

Unis do get dirty.

Batting cursor was changed (visually) to be more indicative of the loss of contact as you get away from the sweet spot. You can turn it off as always.

All I can say is THIS game... is gonna be FLYIN' off the shelves! well done SCEA...

Awesome. And thank you for the reply. I see that you're a developer. It's indictative of the game makers that they not only read but respond to their customers' thoughts, suggestions, and comments (as they have done for years on this site). It's what makes SCEA the superior company that it is and further shows its commitment and passion for the sport.

With that said, I do hope that you are listening to what fans of the series are saying about the commentary. And that your are seriously considering revamping it.

# 89 ped3328 @ 02/24/12 12:23 AM

Every year at this time, SCEA releases some videos so we can see what's in store for the new edition of The Show. Every year at the same time, the bitching and the bashing get started. Same old stuff every year. I bet it's the same people year in and year out who do the bitching and the bashing too. Then, you have the CD people who will defend SCEA not matter what. Since I don't belong to either group, I will reserve my judgment until I play a fair amount of games. Nothing is perfect and yes, the biggest flaw since I started to play The Show in 09 has been the commentary. But, other than that, I have truly enjoyed this great game. I think '12 will prove the same. So relax guys and enjoy the videos as some kind of appetizer before the main course is served... in less than 2 weeks.

I know about the community day. Just didn't catch onto the CD part.

# 93 Kernel Pie @ 02/24/12 01:26 AM

The cut scenes between pitches are amazing and I love the sound effects. But I just can't overlook the player models. They are so out of proportion. The throwing motions are weird, the arms are enormous, the shoulders don't move right, and the torsos are too square/wide. I also thought Miggy/Prince looked way off.

Don't get me wrong, the game looks awesome, but the player models are seriously lacking.

Yeah, there's not enough body-types.. There's either normal, Buff, or heavy... There should be skinny, normal, buff, ripped( like D-Wright) and heavy. There should be more details to make a certain part of the players body's bigger, like in 2K.. And their should be more variety of muscles sizes, for the arms. Every player has the same arms, it's unrealistic.

It means Fanboy Day. Where a group of fanboys get together, play a game like giddy little school girls and proclaim the game is perfection and nothing should be changed.

Oh wait - do you mean the actual meaning or what some here would have you think it means? It's an event where representatives of the community directly tell the developers what the COMMUNITY would like to see in the game.

Gameplay: Havent played the game by myself, I can’t have an opinion but, by the videos, I can see more of the same on every department of the ball game, I really don’t see that ball physics that everyone here is so excited about, I’m still watching several line drives, can someone please show me an example of the “all new” ball physics? I’m so bored of the same stuff on this game, because I have played every version since 2006 (so I consider myself as a LOYAL customer) that honestly I can’t even finish the videos, by 2 minutes already is like watching the same thing all over again and listening to the same thing all over again, sport video games in general are getting stale, is not only “The Show” but this game as well as the other sport games should be sell by $29.99, rosters updates, season updates and minor changes does not justify $59.99 every year, they should at least include a franchise save continue option from last year game, I don’t know why this hasn’t been done since a baseball season is very long, but in computer software’s when you upgrade to newer versions, you can always update the data, why not in a baseball game? Why don’t transfer all your old data from past years version to the newer version? Overall, pretty disappointed and not buying this year game, not even renting… this is just my opinion, for all the people that are excited with game good for you! But to me, it is unacceptable that this game has been getting away with the same game for years without getting the critics that deserve for doing it. Best thing that can happens for us baseball video gamers is the same that need to happen for football, no more exclusive licenses, “The Show” is the better option and almost the only option that PS3 owners have, and they know it, that’s why the little improvement. I hope that 2K doesn’t renew their license and we can have more option by next year, and more competition.

You think it didn't work? I think you're plain wrong!

Same here I have watched each gameplay video over and over again.

I am just so happy how good MLB 12 The Show has become. And man o man how I love the new Bat and glove sounds and much more organ music playing in the statiums. It really brings the statiums to life!

I did not even play MLB 12 The Show yet and I am already thinking how good MLB 13 The Show will be. Its only 12 months away

lol

I always wanted a baseball video game that looks so close to a real MLB TV Broadcast and MLB 12 The Show is one step closer to doing that.

I can't wait to see what TruBroadcast 2.0 will bring in MLB 13 The Show

Its going to be a great summer playing MLB 12 The Show!

# 100 Cavicchi @ 02/24/12 12:31 PM

I watched the video and wonder how the hell am I gonna get a hit! Is it a fastball or slider? By the time I recognize Sabathia's slider it's too late. If I wait to see if it's a fastball, it's too late.

If Miguel Cabrera has that much trouble hitting against Sabathia, what chance do I have?
