One thing I definitely noticed is that the swings all look much more natural and fluid. In MLB 11, they all looked kinda clunky and shaky. This year you can definitely tell there is a lot more fluidity in every motion.
@loogs317 - You can't really be disappointed. The graphics for this game peaked early and it's tough to get much better than it already is on a yearly basis. However, they can upgrade and add new features that would make game better. It could use some more depth in the stats department and a overhaul on the commentating.
@DragoSteelers Explain why a teaser video on YouTube apparently tells you everything you need to know about this years Show?
Word is this game has been fine-tuned and is shaping up to be a lot tighter in the controls and animations department than last years.
Look no further than any other sports title, every 2 - or 3 - you tend to see a more substantial improvement all across the board. What did you expect? You new to the sports genre?
Once again, the Show will do what Madden / EA cant.
Apparently this year's version is all about tightening up the controls, sharpening animations and the like and apparently next year is gonna be a larger jump in content / additions. If they were to sprinkle in some classic teams then yeah, that'd be sick. I just think it's a little easier with a Basketball game, as it just works on more levels than not. Baseball might be tricky, but would be cool none the less.
I'm debating on whether or not on getting this years version. I'm still playing and enjoying 2011 and don't really see significant differences or changes in this one. Maybe if they could add shoe, bat, and glove ad contracts for players this year and better natural more true to life commentary.
@gzerang - Keep your boys in tact. With any luck, 2K's license won't be renewed after this year and maybe someone like EA can get the license and make a solid baseball game for the X-BOX.
@MidKnightMellow lmao yeah cause they are making good games right? lmao brb making a $hitty football game year in year out. brb not knowing how to make a basketball game. lmao The only game that EA knows how to make was Nascar.
Only reason people buy Madden is because its the only choice & its football. A bunch of little phaggot saying mom can you get me the new Madden. They changed everything. Its suppose to be nothing like last years lmao
@nameanking . LOL! Who in the hell cares about NASCAR? It's not even a real sport.
No one is sheading any tears about missing that game. The majority of hoops fans preferred the 2K series over Live anyways, so no shock there.
It appears that you're hung up over Madden not being the game you would like it to be
so you curse EA in general. Get over it. They make a lot of solid sports games that sell well. Just to add, they make Tiger Woods Golf to, another top seller. Cheers!
@MidKnightMellow EA should have never bought the rights to NFL player names and teams. Alot of people have boycotted since. Including me. I use to get all the EA titles, but once they did that, they lost about $800 from me & thousands of others.
Their Madden is $hitty
College football is pretty decent Im going to say after playing the demo
Their 1st shooter games phucking suck!
And racing games are fun as hell. You dont have to be a Nascar fan to like the game!
@nameanking - It's cool to vent. A lot of people feel the same way you do about Madden. Unfortunatley, there're way too many people that like the game the way it is, so it's not going anywhere any time soon.
As for baseball, MVP Baseball was liked by so many people so if you own a XBOX there's a good chance of you seeing it in 2013 especially if 2K's license isn't renewed which doesn't look to happen.I know you loathe EA but this could be the only baseball game for XBOX next year.
@SidBuford1414 because MLB is only from April to November unlike the other sports that overlap the year. The other sports games title the game year by the ending date like NCAA 12, it began in September 2011 and it ended in Jan 2012

2K makes an alright Baseball game, but it doesn't touch the Show. And that is fine because 2K owns the hoops scene. EA can't touch that.
Now, all we need is some 2K football and we can all forget about EA.

@nameanking - Let's look at the sports games EA makes.
1. Madden - You either love itr or hate it. Big seller either way.
2. NCAA Football - Is very well liked this year overall.
3. NHL - Wins awards up the ying yang every year. Averages 8.7+ in reviews
4. Fifa - Most popular soccer game. Also get high reviews.
5. Made MVP baseball which was well liked and could be coming back.
Need any help taking your foot out of your mouth?
