That commercial is awesome! One day the Cubs will win it all! Unfortunately it won't be this season. Or next year. Based Thesus will turn it around though!

Bough a PS3 today just so I could play a real baseball game (and to hve a Blu Ray player). Pretty excited to dig into this. I've had to deal with shitty 2K games for years and it felt bad.

Welcome to the show friend!

RED will flash on the outskirts when you push up for max velocity

YELLOW will flash on a normal or average push

When You hit your spot i.e. Location and the down border the zone on the meter will flash indicating you hit your spot accurately.
 
I figured I'd stop and pick this up for PS3 and Vita, but the cashier in game couldn't figure out how to get it to work. He actually said that the deal probably only applied online. I paid in full (with credit) for the PS3 version, should I have them attempt to re-ring it with the Vita sku when I pick it up?

I was so close to going to the midnight launch but I dont want to deal with the stupid line that my Gamestop usually has...

First thing in the morning I'm going to pick up both my copies and am going to play me some Yankee baseball.

Question, did they lock the Salary on the Mets for the next few years so you cant pick up free agents??

OH SNAP!

I haven't played The Show regularly in a few years but from what I remember if you're in franchise mode, as the GM you'll get goals from the owner. I think depending on the owner your salary ceiling should be set. But maybe I'm confusing it with EA's NHL game.

No. You're the sanest man on GAF.

Going to try my online pass again. Want to transfer my RTTS save to my PSV.
 
Went to camera options and guess what?

You can now set the Offense and Defense to brand new Broadcast Cameras. On Def. you get to see all the action going on just like in a TV broadcast. Really great addition.

There are no 2k fanboys, there are 360 fanboys who cant buy The Show because its not available for them.

Holy shit, I just watched that video. I cant believe the 2k series STILL looks that dated. Wow @ the lighting, the animations, the ball movement etc etc. Its been about 4-5 years since I played 2k because I made the switch to The Show.

I have a ps3 but I prefer 2k to the show. I just want a sports game for vita :p

When should I expect to be able to buy the Vita digital version off the PSN store? I've never tried buying a game off PSN on release day so I don't really know when they come up.

most likely when the PSN store updates this week, which is early evening Tuesday?

I've never purchased a game digitally off of PSN on release day, but the store does update tomorrow afternoon/evening so I am sure around that time.
 
After playing a few games of Show '12 tonight, I'm sad to see one thing still not being addressed.

I was playing with the Rangers and had Colby Lewis pitching. Lewis got injured pitching and I had to bring in a relief pitcher. Once again, I was forced to bring in someone ice cold and have them only get 8 warmup pitches. In reality, whenever a pitcher comes in to replace an injured pitcher, they are given all the time they need to warmup properly.

Unfortunate that Sony San Diego has still not addressed this.

So just wondering with the 2K licensing. What happens after they no longer have the license? Will the 360 be without an MLB game?

No clue, you'll probaly have to go through some annoying phone calls with Sony customer service. It really shouldn't be hard to give you a new pass though, unless they want to be pricks.

wait until the March 6th store update goes live

there probably isn't anything in the system for the code to activate yet

2K won't be going anywhere it just means other third-party publishers will be allowed to license and make MLB games if they want to

but I won't be surprised if no one else gets in the race for the sim experience at least (would EA bring back MVP Baseball? they might not think it's worth the trouble)

however I do think we'll see games like MLB Slugfest come back

So you know, the pitcher is warm. The Devs have said that OSD showing him cold is a bug that when they try to correct breaks other things so they have left as is until they can get a fix.
