Nice review. I'd also place the overall around 7.5/10.
The game does some things really nicely, but it's overall polish needs more fine tuning.
I will still say that if 2K12 looked like The Show, it's score would be 8.5 or higher.

hitstreak13, I echo your sentiments. The game has flaws and bugs, but it's also incredibly fun. I'm not sure if it's the gesture-pitching or whatnot, but the game is just a blast to play.

I'm gonna go get it today. Might trade Oh n the show for it. I don't have time for two baseball games.

Ahah... totally agree, the broadcast cam at camden yards for example makes hitters look like midgets compared to the pitcher...
I found Tomba's pitching cam to be perfect.

When batting they patched in the ability to adjust the base running camera to a conventional look in 2K11. Did they remove that option this year?

I wasn't crazy about the dynamic/fluctuating pitching ratings in the demo. I do like how it changes each game and I agree with a previous comment - the Show's individual pitch confidence system is similar and I think fluctuates even more.

Great review overall Phil.

I feel like I'm the only person that can't stand 2K's analog pitching. I originally thought I didn't like it because I wasn't very good with it but throughout the years of playing either the full game or the demo for 2K's games, I've gotten to the point where I'm as good with it as I am at pitching in any other game & I'm still not a fan.

I get what it's trying to do and I think it does it well enough but I just don't find it to be an enjoyable way to pitch.

I decided to pick up The Show again this year & not 2K12 but I will say, if I didn't have a PS3, I probably would've still gotten a baseball game this year because I did find the 2K12 demo to be pretty enjoyable. I especially found that hitting was much better for me personally as I found it much easier to read pitches & hold up on balls instead of swinging at everything like I find myself doing in The Show.

if you have a PS3 don't even bother with this game. But for 360 users, it's not a bad choice. It could be worse, it could be mlb 2k6-9

He uses the best hitting view in the world. It's identical to The Show 12's batting camera.

Batter 1
Zoom 2
Height 6

I hate the 2k12's default batting view too. Makes everything look out of wack and the outfield stands look like they're a mile away.

Do you have both retail copies or are you just saying?
Not saying the ps3 version isn't inferior, it quite possibly is, but wondering if thats from first hand knowledge.
