   This game isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination. But it has made big strides in the right direction. I don't think it will ever beThis game isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination. But it has made big strides in the right direction. I don't think it will ever be where nba2k is, but I think its because of the sport, not the game. People need to understand that baseball isn't a high action sport, and it isn't the developers fault that that is what they are given to work with. That being said, baseball is a statistical driven sport and this game goes a long way into intertwining statistical percentages with game play. The commentary is much better, the graphics and sound are vastly improved. My biggest gripe is the baserunning, which has always been my big gripe. The baserunners look like they are running in a Benny Hill skit, and basestealling is a tad unresponsive. Runners should not slow up and run with their bodies at a 90 degree angle to the ground. They remain low and run with their heads ahead of their feet, not straight up. All in all, this game was definitely a good start to rebuilding a franchise that I for one hope gets renewed for next season.… Expand

I have played probably 10 games so far and nothing bad or glitches have happened. I think the graphics look fine on 1080p HD. Online play has had no lag in the games I have played. Im not sure what people expect,but I think its a good baseball game. I have enjoyed every game so far. Sure, it could always be better,but its playable and its the only way to play MLB on Xbox. I would give it an 8.… Expand

   MLB 2k12 is a best for last kind of game, with the subject of the series in danger, Take 2 Interactive does not disappoint (in most areas). AsMLB 2k12 is a best for last kind of game, with the subject of the series in danger, Take 2 Interactive does not disappoint (in most areas). As always, the game has the best pitching mechanic in baseball games, making the "fast meter" a thing of the past. The batting however, is a little off. Most of the time, it is easier to get a base by using your power swing, as a contact swing gently hits it to the 2nd Baseman. FIELDING SUCKS. There is no control over your players in time-sensitive situations. Usually you get control of your Outfielder, but once a ball is thrown and changes to someone else (In this example a catcher) the catcher, no matter how hard you push the Left stick up, he will stay at the plate and watch as the ball gently roll into his glove. (While the other team is now celebrating a two run lead). Now on to aesthetic things. The graphics are good for the series, but not what is expected of today's sports games. Soundtrack is not important to me, as I usually listen to my own playlist, but this year as I played my first franchise, the soundtrack was lacking to say the least. Only about 12 songs on the soundtrack and none of them were really that great, some might like the Skrillex song but it doesn't appeal to me in baseball game. Game modes are still smae for the most part. The perfect game challenge is back, and franchise is back as well.… Expand

The menus are slicker and the soundtrack is more enjoyable then in last years game , I'll give it that. BUT..... The graphics on the field are absolutely horrible, this is giant step backwards visually. The uniforms look like they are made of molded foam, the uniform colors are off and realistic lighting effects are nonexistent. The ballparks are these lifeless cardboard backdrops for the frustratingly blotchy gameplay. Runners routinely stop at bases when they should be rounding them and then advance once the ball is in the infield only to be thrown out. The pitching and hitting haven't really changed much. Fortunately I bought the MLB NBA bundle so I don't feel like I totally wasted 60 bucks but it is disappointing not to have a decent baseball game on the 360.… Expand
