Sadly, even without these meters, your fielder may not be sure where to throw or how, as they stutter through animations and allow runners to score before finally deciding to throw to where the runner used to be. Fielding here now seems unnecessarily tough, with meters appearing to determine whether or not your throw will reach the base with enough power, or even at all. It’s with these hits that suddenly, gameplay falls apart again. Switching up your pitches is now more important than ever, as batters will hone in on what you’ve thrown and make you pay for it with a base hit. Pitching now comes with a caveat: throw the same pitch over and over, despite your catcher’s suggestions, and the hitters get wise and start anticipating what you’ll throw. However, when it gets down to gameplay we finally see some improvements, but to be fair, they are minor. The menu presentation, however, will make you wonder if you’d accidentally purchased last year’s game. Animations still have some stagger and hiccup, but nothing I hadn’t seen in previous years. That said, while the majority of the framework remains the same, graphically there have been better touches throughout making character models more realistic (though somehow more dead-eyed than usual), and everything seems brighter and more vibrant. With the exceptions of a few coats of polish, updated rosters, and some other minor tweaks here and there, it’s the same ballgame from before. Let me get this out of the way right now: if you’ve played last year’s iteration of the game (or even 2K10), this year’s MLB 2K remains virtually unchanged from previous versions. While it does often retain the fun and excitement of being at the ballpark, it can also unintentionally include the tedium as well. Never is this more clear than in playing simulated baseball in a videogame.
The perfect game challenge is back, and franchise is back as well.George Carlin said baseball was known as America’s national pastime because “it takes so damn long to play a game.” He was right. Game modes are still smae for the most part. Only about 12 songs on the soundtrack and none of them were really that great, some might like the Skrillex song but it doesn't appeal to me in baseball game.
Soundtrack is not important to me, as I usually listen to my own playlist, but this year as I played my first franchise, the soundtrack was lacking to say the least. The graphics are good for the series, but not what is expected of today's sports games. (While the other team is now celebrating a two run lead). Usually you get control of your Outfielder, but once a ball is thrown and changes to someone else (In this example a catcher) the catcher, no matter how hard you push the Left stick up, he will stay at the plate and watch as the ball gently roll into his glove. There is no control over your players in time-sensitive situations. Most of the time, it is easier to get a base by using your power swing, as a contact swing gently hits it to the 2nd Baseman. As always, the game has the best pitching mechanic in baseball games, making the "fast meter" a thing of the past.
#MLB 2K12 MODES SERIES#
As MLB 2k12 is a best for last kind of game, with the subject of the series in danger, Take 2 Interactive does not disappoint (in most areas). MLB 2k12 is a best for last kind of game, with the subject of the series in danger, Take 2 Interactive does not disappoint (in most areas). All in all, this game was definitely a good start to rebuilding a franchise that I for one hope gets renewed for next season. They remain low and run with their heads ahead of their feet, not straight up. Runners should not slow up and run with their bodies at a 90 degree angle to the ground. The baserunners look like they are running in a Benny Hill skit, and basestealling is a tad unresponsive. My biggest gripe is the baserunning, which has always been my big gripe. The commentary is much better, the graphics and sound are vastly improved. That being said, baseball is a statistical driven sport and this game goes a long way into intertwining statistical percentages with game play. People need to understand that baseball isn't a high action sport, and it isn't the developers fault that that is what they are given to work with. I don't think it will ever be where nba2k is, but I think its because of the sport, not the game. But it has made big strides in the right direction. I don't think it will ever be This game isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination.
