While the in-person tournament portion of the $1 million Perfect Game Contest with MLB 2K12 takes place in New York the shroud of controversy looms large.

MLB 2K12 Patch Still A Ways Off
Though it has desperately needed post-release support in the way of a patch MLB 2K12 has gone without one because of the Perfect Game Contest. Ironically 2K Sports had to make sure the competition would offer uniformity for the whole month of April only to find out that any legitimacy it had was shattered by rampant cheating. Now that it's all over though 2K Sports is in the clear to alter the game and because of that many expected they would be ready to roll out an update immediately. Unfor...

MLB 2K12 vs MLB 12: The Show Player Face Comparisons – New Addition Results
In the first run through of player face comparisons between MLB 2K12 and MLB 12: The Show it was the latter that dominated winning 21 out of the 27 pairings. Once roster updates introduced new players though it was time to check in on them given the process of creating players and adding them after release is handled much differently than those meticulously built for the original shipped product.

MLB 12: The Show Cross Platform Play Feature Remains Broken Following Patch
It has now been a week since MLB 12: The Show released a patch which included a fix to scheduling in Franchise and Road to the Show - but unfortunately at the same time created freezes in many ongoing seasons and careers forcing those affected to start them over from scratch.

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 ...
