MLB 12 The Show Hands-On Preview - Road to the Show (PSNation)

[HustlinOwl]

PSNation has posted day 2 of their MLB 12 The Show hands-on preview. This one covers Road the the Show.

Quote:

First-off is the “good hit” and “bad hit” choices the AI makes for each of your at-bats. The system is still very flexible and takes the situation into account more than “did you get a hit or not” as in previous years. Also, for those that may have missed it last year, in situations like an ordered hit and run, you aren’t penalized anymore, and instead the challenge is cancelled. This was really frustrating in previous years, as you’d be penalized for missing a Hit & Run by no fault of your own, because the pitcher threw an unhittable ball into the dirt. Now, the system takes factors like that into account, which means you may even be awarded some training points even if you don’t fully succeed in the task.

Nice. This drove me crazy and I didn't even play that much.

I hope that means you don't penalized for doing the running part of it anymore.

Yes, they got the changes into Citi Field! And they got them right, as much as I can see. Hopefully they got the RF exactly correct too, and also the HD jumbotrom down the RF line which is located right at the end of the Left side of the stadiums' second deck.

game sounds & looks great as always! also, off topic, but its nice to see the walls lowered & now blue at citifield as A DIEHARD METS FAN (unfortunately,LOL)!

Did you get a chance to play as a catcher? And do you know if you can not call every pitch but only play plays that involve you (Steals, Bunts, Pop-Ups)

My main complaint with this mode is the slow load times between games, and the lack of anything outside the field. Like there are no press conferences, no endorsements, not anything really. The rtts is still very good, by it just gets too boring.
