They duck into the dugout as mere mortals, cleated, capped and humming with anticipation. But as the National Anthem echoes across the stadium, the lights blaze into life and the umpire squats behind the plate, something changes. Men no longer, the players — whether they be wearing pinstripes, red or blue — become legends, the embodiments of what it means to seek glory. Baseball is not just a pastime — it's the **** saga that holds all of America in its grasp. Do you have what it takes to step up to the plate and claim your stake in baseball history?

Each year, only one MLB team earns the title of a champion. And each year, only one sports game scores the highest ratings in the world. That game is The Show.

I have just got the show 11 for Christmas after playing 08 into the ground beause its so expensive to import, I love it. I used to buy 2k back in 2007-8 because it was cheaper but when I found the show I never looked back.

Do you guys think it will be worth getting 12? Do they generally improve a lot each year in your opinion or is it like NHL and Fifa that just add one new feature? Since I wonder if to start getting it each year, but there is no point if they always turn out samey.

Does anyone know if they plan to fix the collision detection issues? I hate it when the baserunner runs through the basemen.

Here is the answer to your question along with some new info

Quick Look at MLB 12: The Show Preview - PS3 - Operation Sports


Another innovative feature being introduced this year is collision awareness. This will finally eliminate the clipping we see when players pass right through each other. Now you will see players getting spiked, plenty more animations for breaking up double plays, new tags and slides. Finally players can collide anywhere on the field. This has been a community request for years.

I wish they would incorporate an incentive where money is used. It would put more emphasis on haggling over signing a contract in the my player mode.

Question: Do they improve MLB the show enough each year to warrant an annual purchase? I just got 11 after playing 08 up until last christmas, seeing as I just got 11 and I will have to pay near enough £45-50 to import it, do you think it's worth getting 12 later this year?

MLB 12 The Show Hands On – Day 1 | PSNation.org
Today, many of us used the time to simply dig-in to the game and experience the new features and changes. Visually, it’s pretty similar, but the list of fixes, changes, redesigns, and other features is pages long. One of the first changes we noticed right away is the all new physics engine applied to the Baseball. The old system was completely ripped-out and replaced with an all-new system, and the change is immediately noticeable. The ball reacts to everything in the environment as it actually should. When you see the ball jump off of the bat, the path and trajectory that the ball takes feels incredibly natural. I actually hope to talk to the brains behind this new engine, and obviously, if I do I’ll post anything I find out. For now, let’s just say, if you’ve ever actually played the game of Baseball, you know, on a field and stuff, that the Baseball in MLB 12 The Show actually reacts to everything like it did when you were playing. It’s damned impressive and really impacts the game and how you play it. Hits don’t seem “formulaic” or “canned” as in years past, and even on this first “half-day” that consisted of about 10 hours, we’ve already heard many instances when someone yells “did you just see that?!?!” Of course, there are many more changes and fixes, and trust me, I’ll cover as much as I can (there’s so much, and also, some things I still am not allowed to talk about.)​

I can tell you that after playing 12, I tried to play 11 today and put the controller down.

The ball physics are a thing of beauty and makes playing 11 impossible. I am going to finish my sim only franchise while I wait for 12.

Quoted from one of the OS guys who had some time with 12 at the community event last week.
