A member of the 2K Sports Forums have posted some of the MLB 2K12 features.

MLB Today Season Mode For the first time ever, play along with the real-life MLB season AS IT UNFOLDS. Take charge of your favorite team and see how you stack up against the rest of the league over the course of a six month-long season. Dynamic Tendency System Just as in real-life, opposing pitchers and hitters will learn your tendencies from one at-bat to the next, challenging you to mix up your approach on both sides of the plate as each game unfolds. New Throw Meter A revamped throwing system presents a classic risk vs. reward situation every time you make a play. Will you queue up throws before fielding the ball to save time, or take a moment to set your feet for better accuracy? Improved My Player Mode Want to be the next All-Star slugger or ace starter? All-new player types let you decide your path to the Majors. Goals, expectations, ratings and progression are all customized by position and player type. Soundtrack Tracks handpicked by SPIN magazine, featuring Cool Kids, Skrillex, The Joy Formidable, Grouplove, My Morning Jacket and more.

Really like feature #1 if it operates like it sounds. All the results are MLB actual except of the games you play? Not sure about the AS IT UNFOLDS as to what that means exactly? Can you only affect the results if you play the game on the day it is played irl or are all of your teams games subject to your results? I guess we'll see, but I like the sound of it.

I'm sorry but when "soundtrack" is in the Top 5 of your feature list, things don't sound super promising.

It's nice to put it down in writing but we heard this info already. I'd like to get some new info or get some quality videos of the game in action.

I'll wait and see how the game UNFOLDS before I get excited. That feature list was *yawn*

Sounds like stuff that I thought was already in the game with the exception of the first and last features.

Yeah, that threw me too. I don't care if your songs are "handpicked by SPIN magazine"...that's just ridiculous.

On the upside, the others on the list all sound like good (albeit vaguely described) features. In particular, the MLB Today season mode sounds a lot like what plenty of people here have claimed to want for some time. I'm curious to see how that plays out.

The My Player nuggets sounds awesome. Player types will be awesome.

[bonannogiovanni]

very lowly feature list, not promising at all.

If they add "Everything works as advertised" as a feature, I'd be geeked.
