MLB 2K12 Demo Coming Next Week
While there's still no comment out of SCEA regarding a demo for MLB 12: The Show today 2K Sports announced that MLB 2K12 will have its release on Tuesday February 28th on the Xbox 360 and PS3. It will include a World Series rematch of the Texas Rangers @ St. Louis Cardinals. This represents the first sign of encouragement regarding the product which has been kept out of the sight of consumers for the most part with 2K limiting information and media on it. With just over a week to go there...

2K Sports and SCEA Remain Mum on Baseball Demo Plans
The second to last week to offer a pre-release demo for MLB 2K12 and MLB 12: The Show on the 360 and PS3 have now passed. That leaves just one final opportunity, Tuesday the 28th, to get a demo out before the games hit stores. A lack of a pre-release demo would be an undeniably terrible sign for MLB 2K12 and a discouraging one even for MLB 12: The Show. There are various reasons why companies would choose to defer on providing a demo but all of them would be due to a feeling that doing so pr...

Gameplay Improvements to Pitching and Hitting in MLB 2K12
It's been clear for a while that MLB 2K12 wasn't going to bring a whole lot new to the table. While 2K Sports attempts to market it with the $1 million competitions and by flaunting out Kate Upton they've done little to provide any credibility around this year's product especially following the release of poor initial screenshots and an embarrassingly thin features list. Now though the first official blog has gone out which goes into detail on gameplay enhancements with the focus on th...
