    While 2K12 plays a solid game and displays improvements over the past version, it doesn't add enough to achieve its lofty aspirations. [Apr 2012, p.85]

    While this may be the best iteration of the series in some time, it's mostly just a ton of potential that ultimately lets you down. Pitching is great, but batting needs some practice. Fielding is frustrating, and even more so when you take the game online. Audio work is incredible, but not reactive enough nor as customizable as in The Show.

    It almost feels like a patched version of 2K11. With another challenger looming in the wings for next year's baseball crown it's likely that 2K will have to step their game up. Note to devs: please fix the shoes next year, too. I beg of you.

    As misguided as it might have been I was wooed to the 2K franchise this year by Tiger's Ace Justin Verlander. And having JV on the cover was a great idea for a game that boasts the best pitching mechanics in the baseball videogame world. Pitching is fun and creative but tends to be a bit too effective in the end. The Tigers have a good pitching staff but boasting a sub 2.00 ERA as a staff during franchise play seems over the top. Further disappointments are found in the AI, baserunning, and fielding. Fielding seems "wonky" as opposed to smooth and natural and allows outfielders and middle infielders make impressive defensive plays too often, baserunning (at least for me) seems overly complicated, and most importantly the AI fails to make good baseball decisions by holding runners when it shouldnt. One more insignificant but annoying problem: the Tigers blue is way off. If you're going to have a Tiger on the cover get the colors right. Overall I am having fun with the game and cant wait to use the real time feature once the season starts to play right along with my favorite team.… Expand
