Major League Baseball 2K12 Teaser Trailer

[guitargd20]

Last years game played pretty well, some little details here and there and this can be solid. This looks to be 2K's last year with the license so I don't think they will mail it in too much!

chances are the graphics will closely resemble 2K11...
Im curious to see a more detailed pic of the fielding glove improvements...
Teaser trailers are always decieving.
Dont judge it til you play it.
Like one of the previews stated, dont expect it to look much different than last years but it should play better.

MVP, which is now a classic, had pretty cartoony graphics, the stadiums werent 100% accurate, the cathers didnt even throw the ball back to the pitchers,
but it played great.
there was weight behind every throw, every swing, you felt the momentum of every catch and the sounds went along with it too.
It also helped that the cartoony graphics were smooth, NO JAGGIES!

Okay, MVP baseball 2005 was 2005! On last gen consoles with way less memory and what we now consider awful graphics cards and chips! I played MVP baseball 2005 on a regular basis all the way until summer 2008(it stopped working, I had it for GameCube, edited all the rosters every year and all of that) that game I'd still probably play occasionally now if I had it. But, 2K baseball since 2K8, but really 2k9, has been awful graphically! And the animations are so stale and fake, really since 2k7. Theyre the worst when it comes to adding batting and pitching stances. Really, under 250 batting stances?? The show has 450 plus!!. 2K is deffinitely done after this year, and I'm glad, hopefully EA will buy back the license and make MVP baseball 2013!

I liked it! It looks improved graphically to me! Looking forward to seeing more now...

Heaven forbid we completely forgot about the recent video game trailer that was released which only contained 1.6% new footage.

It doesn't matter anyway, because this is definitely from 2K12. The night time atmosphere is far improved over 2K11. I fully expect the commentary to sound like that in-game as well, which has been a strong point as of late with this franchise. I'm liking what's coming of this, but I really hope this year isn't the end of the road for 2K baseball.

By the way, my prediction ten days ago for "trailer by the end of next week" seemed pretty on point.

That was my response. The animations looked noticably improved as well, if the few shots they showed are a true indication.

That recent game trailer said it was 2K11 footage at the bottom though. Didn't it ?

MLB 2K12 graphics: Man, those graphics are AWFUL.

NBA 2K12 graphics: Yeah, the gameplay is AMAZING! Graphics aren't even that important, as long as the gameplay is solid, etc.

My point? 2K has never had overpowering, or even truthfully good looking graphics. They've always been a step above the last-gen graphics, basically.

I will say this though: Don't know if this was in 2K11 since I didn't play it last year outside of the demo, but I did notice some "emotion" in the players (Verlander did a little snarl/gritted his teeth as he threw the pitch; batter throwing down his bat in disgust). I think emotion is always a good thing in sports game.

I will have to try the demo out to determine whether it's worth buying, and even that may be a wait since I'll most likely be grabbing Resident Evil and Final Fantasy

2k is notorious for doing this. I know with NBA2k often the 1st few gameplay trailers are using prior year's footge. That may not be the case now like you said but it's possible. Looks pretty good to me so far..

I wasn't talking about 2K11.

I liked the facial emotions and helmet reflections. Can't recall if those things were in last year.
