Its about time guys. Less than a month till the release date; I had to make an official countdown thread.
I am not as pumped for this release as I was for MLB 11 (Which was a slight disappointment)
Nonetheless, every year, it gets better and better imo and MLB 11 is currently the best, most likely MLB 12 will be no different (Even if all they did was update rosters I would still get it rofl)





Not much new in this years version...from what I read so far, this is a summary of some of the features:
  • Vita cloud saving compatibilities: You can play your mlb 12: the show on the road by transferring your PS3 save file over to your Vita
  • Better broadcast presentation (Even though the same shitty broadcasters are still in this game), it will be more realistic as you see on television broadcasts (Fox and MLB Network). For example: "Sony is using camera transitions to make the experience feel more lifelike. For instance, after a ball or strike is thrown, you won’t always watch the catcher throw it back to the pitcher. Instead, the camera may cut to show the pitcher’s reaction or show other player or dugout activity."
  • Greater physics, as defined here: "No matter how you play the game, it has a different feel than last year thanks to completely reworked ball physics. For the first time in series history, balls will slow and die in alleys, and actual math is factored in when a spinning ball hits a surface. Depending on how the ball bounces or how the wind carries it, users may find themselves in a world of hurt thanks to the new player collisions that play out in the outfield and on the base paths."
  • Minimal changes to RTTS and Franchise. Just more realistic trades/prospects.
  • A 'surprise' : “We also have a brand new mode. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen in a sports game. It’s a unique look at baseball and we really think people are going to latch onto this mode and enjoy it.” Maybe something with cards?



LET THE COUNTDOWN START: 28 DAYS

MLB The Show is such a good franchise, but EA could make baseball games again starting next year. If they bring MVP back then it's game over.

The more the better.
I have been a loyal MLB The Show fan since 07.
I bought into MLB 2k in 2011; was nothing close to The Show but it wasn't terrible. I would love to see more variants.

If the new mode is something unlike anything in sports it won't be anything to do with cards. Every major EA sports game has a card based mode. "Ultimate Team"

I wish they did something with the contract money :(
RTTS salary is pointless at the moment

Its means something in BEAGM because players are unhappy with low salary but yeah it's pointless in RTTS. You should be able to buy stuff, donate to charity to become likeable. Something stupid but anything is good.

What are you guys going to make in RTTS? I'm probably going to be 2B for Colorado right away. Gonna wait for the rosters with all the real farm players before starting franchise.

Same. Not going to try franchise until later.
Im going to try a starter and just enter draft normally not choosing a team.
