Do I have to be a gold member? I don't see it in the 360 marketplace.

The hitting is much better with much more variety. The amount of info they have complied using the D-pad for pitching is terrific. I really enjoyed this demo and the game will even better being able to adjust the batting cameras so guys heads aren't cut off.

I agree. Game is fun, and swings look sweet. Very smooth and enjoyable. Huuuuuge upgrade over 2k11 IMHO.

Same question here. Is the PS3 version still coming out today, or will it be tomorrow morning?

Wait.

The store hasn't updated yet, the demo won't be up until it does (though you might be able to find it a a little before it's posted to the storefront by text searching).

To re-iterate, the PSN updates have been extremely inconsistent lately, it has no set-in-stone update time. Although last week was ridiculous even by normal standards, almost not updating until midnight.

Ok, thanks for the info. I haven't downloaded a PS3 demo in a long time, so I wasn't aware of the delays.

I download it at least in part to see if I'll be interested in getting the PC version.

My overall impression is the game seems fun, but not a big improvement from last years game. The graphics seem a bit better, but the game feels too much like 2k11. Seems like not enough man power was used to make this game. I saw a few new animations, but the ball physics felt the same as 2k11. As far as feelings they're mixed. The game is more polished, but not a big jump by any means.

I've had The Show every year since 2008 and I'm considering not buying it this year since there aren't a ton of new advancements that make me want to buy it. I just seems a little stale at this point. I'm still playing The Show a few times a week, don't get me wrong, but I haven't seen too much that makes me want to pick up this year's game. I'd like to try the 2K12 demo because I haven't played the series since 2K8. Once I play it, I'll decide which one to buy.

It's not, the game is not being released over there so no reason to add a Demo for a game you can't play. And Yes right now you need Gold to download it.

I bought a PS3 just for the Show after being a PC 2K guy last year, but I'll still try the demo. If it arrives, that is.

Confirming, and downloading now.

Seems more like a Roster Update than a new game.

# 118 The Bimmer @ 02/28/12 09:12 PM

Thought it was great. If you liked last years game you will like this years. First thing I noticed was that the graphics are big time improved on the PS3.

Second thing is the game did play smoother, and the third thing is I can pretty much plug in all of my settings from last year and be ready to play within 5 mins.

The new overlays are nice also. I like seeing those pitching stats popping up letting me know what I am doing out there (on the mound). Once the commentary blends in this game will be getting a serious workout during the MLB Today season mode.

# 119 Doormat @ 02/28/12 09:18 PM

Demo is up on PSN, will post impressions in the impressions thread soon
