In online leagues, which I'm referring to, even with the sliders for running speed set to 0, there was no major difference. Especially for infielders who still had super speed unless it was Manny Ramirez playing SS.
The lack of hit variety made it pretty difficult to find holes in the infield unless it was hammered through the 4 or 6-hole or was a bleeder up the middle. 1st basemen still warp to catch most everything within 15 feet of them, usually without even having to dive.
On top of that, for throwing, you could put accuracy at 0 and make the meter as hard as possible and it was still easy to pinpoint throws from the field. I expect this to be improved though judging by their emphasis on throwing.
The 5-point increments need to be switched to 1-point like NBA and allow for a greater extreme at 0 and 100. If I set fielder speed to 0, they should barely be able to move and 100 should play akin to The Bigs.
I'm excited. Glad we got some footage even if it was only a few seconds.
Player speed seems to be a tough one for 2K to balance which is odd since you would think that would be an easy stat to translate into a video game. They still have a lot of time to work on it though and it shouldn't be overly difficult to fine tune unlike animations or hitting logarithms.
The 2K series has always been solid fun. It has just lacked polish. If they concentrated on refining the core gameplay and polishing everything up instead of adding new gimmick features I'll be happy.
It seems that is the problem with so many sports games on the yearly release cycle. They spend so much time trying to reinvent themselves each year that the core gameplay never gets attention. How many times have we seen a sports title that seemed like it was a year from greatness only to see the core and feature set take a completely different path the next year. Hard to finish when you keep restarting.

Lost in translation definitely applies.
LOL, almost has me writing in Haiku

I sure hope they fixed the base runner speed to first base. It doesn't look good when a runner gets thrown out at first and stops half way down the line and starts back to the dugout. Run it out!

I wonder if D. Young would of got a triple if the defense was shifted to the right and deep? If my plan is to get him out with a change-up on the outside part of the plate, it is my fault if he puts a ball in the gap and my defense is playing normal depth and st8 away.

Glad I have a PS3 now. Although it looks a little better then 2K11, I still don't see enough change as of right now.

If you were expecting a complete overhaul with 2K12, you had unrealistic expectations from the start. This late in a console generation, you're only going to see tweaks from what we've seen the past few years.
2K11 was a good foundation to build on. I'll still have to play the demo and see longer gameplay videos to convince me to buy this game as opposed to sticking with 2K11 for another year, but I am cautiously optimistic.

The ball physics & ballpark dimensions look fantastic...I think. animations & player models...not so much. I sure hope the PS3 gets some love.

Let's get back to the topic.
Personally, no other series has disappointed me as much as this one has. I LOVED the ESPN MLB series and felt with a little more attention to it's animation bank would we see a great title.
I just really don't know what has happened to this series. It's almost as if the developers have mailed it in. Even with the small snippet of gameplay... nothing excites me about wanting to play the game. IMO, their focus on the little things is just a cop out for them. You can do that while addressing the concerns/problem areas at the same time.
Disappointing that this series may eventually fade away.

If VC was given the job from the start, a lot of the issues that plague this series are gone.
Still, MLB2K11 has the best pitcher-hitter engagement of any baseball game I've played.
I used to detest the pitching aspect of most games, they bored me to tears.
But gesture pitching changed all that. Now I'm more excited to pitch than hit.
That alone makes me want to buy this game.
The pitching is great in this game. I love that it has the control slider (or whatever it's called) and it actually worked so you couldn't master the pitching controls.
The hitting on the other hand leaves much to be desired, at least to me. I wish they would implement some type of zone or better yet cursor hitting in the game instead of the mindless timing only.
