   MLB 12: The Show is one of the best sports games ever made. San Diego studios has been pumping out the best baseball game on the market this console generation. I've personally owned every single one and its always the best 60 bucks i spend a year. This year however shows the effects of years of fine tuning. With an unprecedented broadcast presentation, graphics, and animations. MLB 12 is one of the best looking games ever. Player models are - mostly - spot on. The days of having a generic batting stance or pitching mechanics for several players is long gone. Each play oozes with detail and uniqueness. Anybody who has played these games the past couple years will notice a graphical advancement, while those putting on the cleats for the first time will be spending most of their time picking their jaws off the floor. But, once again, its what Sony has done under the hood that makes this game a true standout. The new ball physics are a huge leap forward in sports games. Each ball, hit, pitch...play carries its own spin. Where and how you hit the baseball affects the spin on the ball which in turn makes each hop, bounce and hit off the bat lifelike and completely unpredictable. Your games will keep you at the edge of your seat as the game forces each ounce of your attention. A showdown in the 9th inning with the game on the line in MLB 12 is an experience unlike no other for baseball fans. Your palms will sweat. Your heart will pound as the pitcher-batter duel is refined to perfection in The Show. All this and i haven't mentioned the all-new Diamond Dynasty mode, the best superstar creation in Road to the Show, cross-game suports for Vita and PS3, and reduced load times. This is an amazing game and a must-buy for any baseball fan!… Expand

   MLB 12 the show is HARD....the new ball physics make hitting the ball quite difficult, while this makes for closer games with the cpu it can be severely frustrating, to the point where you wanna throw something! Even putting the sliders up to almost full (ie contact, power, solid hits sliders) still results in plenty of choppers and foul balls way to many for a game!..ok i know its trying to be realistic and they've done a great job..looks very real..but its a game at the end of the day , something thats supposed to be fun, not make you wanna throw your controller! That aside there are plenty of the usual game modes with the new dynasty mode, not tried that , but online problems still persist so cant see the point of it,..new animations new cut scenes , new lines of dialogue ..but freaking hard game play. Im going back to 11.… Expand

   Man is this game bad! All show (no pun intended) and absolutely no go. Hitting and pitching is absolutely broken no matter where you put your sliders or what style of hitting or pitching you use. Online is even worse, if you can manage to figure out the broken hitting and pitching physics and get ahead in the score, the other person quits about 95% of the time. Also if you are not hosting the game the other player has the advantage because not only are you dealing with broken controller physics but you are dealing with lag on top of it. Aside from broken controlls this game looks feels and sounds 100% like last years (broken) version and is merely a roster update like most sports games. Big disappointment for me overall, I am undefeated online but I really can't get over how bad this game is, you shouldn't need a physics degree to opperate the super inaccurate pitching and hitting that this game packs.… Expand
