Major League Baseball 2K12: What We Know Now

[SkillzKillz719]

Either way, the game is basically finished. I just hope it's a step up over 2k10 which is the last one I played.


I'm excited to start my franchise!

I intend to buy 2k12 because I need by baseball fix. But the only thing I want is close to a bug free game as possible. And a fun game to keep my attention till the football games come out.

Looks pretty good. I never understood the outfielder head turned away from the infield animation while running toward the wall though. I've already decided to get both games.

The fact that they're packaging MLB 2K12 with NBA 2K12 for only $10 more than a regular game strongly suggests to me that this is it for 2K12.

Nice review of 2K12. The good news is I already made my decision to switch to the show because 2K sports is a complete joke. The best baseball game they released was 2K7 and since then it's went downhill considerably every year. 2K10 wasn't bad but, then again I played it on the PC, adjusted the rosters, recreated the correct uniforms, added players and player portraits ect which made it playable. If you wasn't to read another interesting review that's spot on with 2K12 check out game informer's review.

I'm really hoping that fielding works as good as it sounds.

Having to set yourself before throwing to ensure accuracy sounds like a lot of fun and realistic.

Maybe the days of simply preloading (this goes for both games) and throwing a strike across the diamond off one foot are gone!

we will see what's up

well see how good it is. as always, these games usually do a couple of things really well but have 1 or 2 missteps. hopefully those will be gone in this years version

Perhaps. But it could also be that they are trying to use the NBA 2K franchise, which is their strongest money maker, to prop up the MLB 2K franchise, getting it into more homes and establishing more of a fan base. It's hard to tell whether it's a white flag or a last ditch effort.

I see your point, but they've been losing money on baseball and the license is expiring, so there's no future for 2K baseball so it wouldn't be to establish a fan base. It's to sell more copies because no one would buy this game on it's own. The real thing to do would've been to package it with NFL 2K5, then MLB 2K12 would've flown off the shelves.
