I'm from Australia and an avid sports gamer for 20 years. I bought myself a PS3 last year purely and simply so i could get the show. Baseball had never interested me in terms of watching, but i couldn't ignore the critical acclaim the show had received for several years. I enjoyed MLB 12 The Show as much as i'd enjoyed any game for many years, and i'm pleased to say the this years iteration exceeds last years in terms of enjoyment. It's actually got me genuinely interested to follow the real life version and i can't wait for the season to start.
My only gripe - the pitch stutter!! My first 3 or 4 games were stutter free then, BANG! I am getting regular stutter, up to a dozen a game. The rest of the game is so incredible that the stutter is an even greater let down. Hitting is such an integral part of the game that it is almost the worst possible glitch. It staggers me that such an issue can be prevalent in the final retail product, particularly as it was an issue last year too. I only hope that through a patch it can be corrected. I like biscuits.

Now for next year I would like the new button accuracy meter in combination with the analog stick!
Anyone else thinks this would be sweet?
Further more I'm really hooked to challenge of the week!
I sneak in a session before work everytime now

i started my season last night with the yankees hosting the red sox at Yankee stadium. Set to legend analog on hitting & pitching. prior to last nights game i played roughly 15 games on the same setting, none in yankee stadium and my results were decently mixed.
last night however in my first game at yankee stadium Boston hit 8 homeruns!! 8! wow. never happened to me in the past.
I always felt the ball was slightly "juiced" when playing there, and last night really got me thinkin about that. was that just a one off circumstance?
has anyone else had the same type of results?

Got bored of exhibition games so I did a fantasy Draft in Season mode with the Astros (simple for the unis and Stadium add in a Braves fan)
Played a game against the Angels where the starter for the cpu Angels got hurt and left in the 2nd inning. That's not weird. But, get this:
They used 3 more pitchers in that inning. I had a walk and a hit but nothing too threatening. The 1st guy who came in right after the injury had real low energy. He left after 1 batter. Next guy had low energy and he faced 2 badgers and left.
Don't know what to make of it but it was darn cool to experience it.

I am short of time right now but will post a detailed impression soon.
In short?
9.5/10
Best baseball game ever made for any console.

Not sure what to make of the situation either, but I'm certain this is a major bug!

Ok, I'm due for another impression post, albeit short...
I am really, really impressed with the varying results and storyline of my games so far! I always managed to get a good spectrum of results in previous versions, but then I realized, I haven't even touch one slider this year! I had planned on at least bumping up pitch speed a little, but decided to just try to adjust to default... which I did.
My Houston Astros fantasy season results look like this through 10 games:
at TEX:
[W] 4-2
[L] 3-7
[W] 11-7*
vs. CIN:
[W] 5-4
[L] 0-3 (F. Garcia - 6IP, 3R, 2ER, 5BB, 0K)
[W] 6-4*
[W] 2-1
at LAA:
[L] 0-8 (Niese - 1.2IP, 7R, 9H (all in 2nd inning))
[L] 4-5*
[W] 1-0 (scored go ahead run in top 9 on an E5 on bang-bang play at 1B)
* denotes simulated game
Despite the few things people have reported, I still believe this is the best version yet AND the best baseball game EVER delivered. I don't believe in perfection, but this game is closer than anyone has ever got. And OSFM will only make its stock rise...

His 479ft home run in home run derby and had over 40HR(breaking MLB record) for most HR in an entire HRD. Came so close to breaking record for most HR in single round too!
On all star hitting too(default sliders)

Anyone seen this yet?
Playing game one of a Dodgers chise trying to get my sliders dialed in before OSFM.
Anyway its the top of 5th 1-1 game Kershaw vs. Cain. Brandon Crawford gets a 1 out single that brings Cain to the plate in a obvious sac bunt situation. So naturally I throw him a first pitch fastball above the letters to try and get the popup. He attempts to pull the bunt back at the last second and gets nailed in the hand.
So he falls to the ground and I'm at first thinking he didn't even get hit, next thing I know a cutscene pops up of my catcher AJ Ellis trying to hold back a seriously pissed off Cain. Then he gets around him and comes flying at Kershaw!!! And as we all know you don't get to see the fights, however next thing I know I'm having to bring in Harang because Kershaw gets thrown out however Cain is standing on first!!
Kinda sucks only my guy got ejected on a accidental HBP, but still a really awesome little scene.

Are you serious? Tell me one other game that is as polished and refined as the Show? Or has the community interactions and post release support? Every game has flaws and I am sure most will be addressed. More than one person develops the game. A change in code from another area can affect someplace else that they thought was good.
No one plays this game more than Ramone.

I love how people do a franchise, but want it to go parallel with real life. What's the point in doing it then? I like to dive into my fantasy world and play it out on my terms and see what the CPU does and just accept it and run with it. Verlander with a high ERA? Cool, that's how itplayed out.
