MLB 2K12 vs MLB 12: The Show Player Face Comparisons – New Additions
MLB 12: The Show dominated MLB 2K12 in the player face comparison 21-6 last month. Now both titles have released roster updates and introduced new players which is a whole different animal. The three most prominent names are Yu Darvish and Yoenis Cespedes - who made their major league debuts - and a returning Jamie Moyer. Which game created the better Darvish, Cespedes, and Moyer? For those who don't feel either game can claim that distinction there is an option in the polls with that in ...

MLB 12: The Show Patch Causing Freezes and Save Compatibility Issues
When the patch for MLB 12: The Show released last week it was noted that there were many reports coming in of pre-existing Franchises and Road to the Show careers being unable to advance due to freezes. More about the issue is known now along with another major feature - cross platform saves between the PS3 and Vita - being affected by the problem. (more…)...

Latest MLB 12: The Show Roster Update Introduces New Players
It was somewhat of a surprise when last week's roster update for MLB 12: The Show arrived and didn't deliver any new players. Yoenis Cespedes in particular had broken onto the scene in plenty of time to be included in that update. Instead he and others arrive in the one that was pushed live earlier today. As the two most notable names Cespedes and Yu Darvish enter with 'A' potential and fairly high overall ratings. (more…)...

Patch Details for MLB 12: The Show
It took longer than previous years to get the first patch for MLB 12: The Show but as of this morning it has arrived! The patch includes a fix to start times for games in Franchise mode (unlike MLB 09 a restart of Franchise/Road to the Show will not be required) the success of outfielders being able to throw out runners at first base on base hits will be greatly reduced, and teams will now wear their correct alternate jerseys on appropriate days. It's most notable that the new structure f...

Online Home Run Derby in MLB 12: The Show Still Missing in Action
One mystery surrounding MLB 12: The Show has been it's Online Home Run Derby mode which even now in mid-April remains absent from the game. Granted it was not highly promoted, and actually I could only find one reference to it from the company and a flash of it in a trailer, but it's still a feature that some anticipated taking advantage of that has not been delivered. Based on some comments out of SCEA in response to consumer inquries the mode was left inactive at launch to protect again...

MLB 12: The Show Finally Discounted
With the rate at which recent releases have seen their prices drop - some within a matter of days after hitting stores - MLB 12: The Show has bucked the trend by staying put at its $60 price until today. Amazon is now selling the PS3 version of the game for $50 while the Vita is still at its original $40. Also it's worth noting that the deal where buying one gets a discount of $20 on the other remains only in effect until tomorrow April 10th. While sales for The Show have apparently falle...

MLB 12: The Show Opening Weekend Roster Update Brings No New Players
The first roster update to follow the opening of the season for MLB 12: The Show has arrived and brings with it 178 total player movements. However somewhat surprisingly the update did not deliver any of the players who appeared in their first MLB games which made them eligible to be added. The most notable name of those still absent is Oakland A's outfielder Yoenis Cespedes who already has 3 home runs and 7 RBIs in the first 4 games. Yu Darvish has his debut tonight meaning he can be add...

MLB 12: The Show Patch Support Tracking Well Behind Past Years
Now into April with the baseball season fully underway many consumers have begun to ask why the first patch for MLB 12: The Show has yet to arrive. It's an understandable question considering the rate at which patches have been delivered for The Show in recent years. SCEA has yet to comment on plans for post-release support and have been careful to avoid even stating that a patch is being worked on. There shouldn't be reason for concern at this stage however. Undoubtedly one is in the pip...
