Re: MLB 12: The Show - Gameplay Impressions

Nice writeup, Pared. Thanks for taking the time.

I was wondering if you played with analog hitting (RS only) and still witnessed good ball physics - your up and in example?

I thought '11 did a great job of making the user work the count to make good contact on the ball - I always had great success in sticking to a zone and waiting for a pitch. Do you find that '12 has amplified this because of the new ball physics? For example, do you find yourself taking more pitches in the zone in '12 than you did in '11?

Can the size of the pulse be modified?

It pretty much sums up the benefit of such an event as gave examples back and forth as to how the change can benefit everyone. This still will allow for hits down the line to fall into the corner, something that was a concern. Fielders were also slowed up a bit to allow hits to drop in over fielder’s heads – late game defensive substitutions are especially key now more than ever.
Gappers! 10char

Pared, good write-up, although as a fellow Mets fan, it pained me to see you write that opening. While the Rangers-Cardinals World Series was no doubt exciting, you (and I can't believe you overlooked it) failed to mention the awesomeness that was the 1986 Playoffs.

Both LCS series were off the charts and we all know what happened in the World Series.

Could not agree with you more! But I'm really excited about this game! Just wish we could see at least some more pictures..

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Gameplay Impressions

are all the pitches and their movements as they arrive to the plate from the mound still the same as last years?

Great write up, I only thought the tag animations were totally redone and adaptive to the type of play this year...
Did you still see slides morph through tags Pared?

Thanks for all your work over there!

Re: MLB 12 The Show - Gameplay Impressions

thanks for the write-up pared.

did you notice any change with the strike zone...it seems in '11 that "high" strikes were called just a tad bit too high? maybe a non-factor with the new umpire personalities

did you notice if pulse pitching / zone-analog modes can be played with "cursor off"?

did you notice if check swing checks by the umps are more accurate when they occur?

did you notice if the base runners icons at times still give away the fact that a home run has been hit, taking the drama away? of course no doubters are no doubters.

did you notice if pitchers (btp view) always actually grip the ball?

does the existence of the new true broadcast eliminate the out of sequence cut scenes? e.g. batter strikes out walks out of the batters box...next cut scenes, the batter takes off helmet and throws bat to end the ending but is closer to the plate then the first cutscene...sorry this may not be the best example of what i'm trying to ask

have you managed to see a multiple rbi homer in true broadcast mode? did it show the person who hit the hr round all the bases and then give his mates some dap at the plate?

i always think twice about trading in the previous year's version of the game for the new one...but always do and never miss the old one. scea really knows how to provide innovation w/o breaking/excluding things that work well and provide options to players. can't wait

thanks.
