MLB The Show 12 is good with a few problems. They should put a make your own everything. The sound of the ball hitting the bat is terrible. Graphics are OK.......... VERY GOOD LASTING APPEAL. Andrew McCutchen on The Pirates' is on the cover for 13

I have MLB THE SHOW 08-12 and by far is this the best out of all them. Sony makes small improvement's every year and it's worked out great. This game in my opinion is the hardest out of all them including the batting, you have to have the correct timing and contact to get a hit or homerun. The sound is good except for the sound of a bat hitting a ball but other than that sound is very good. Gameplay is great and graphics are great to. If your a baseball fan you better get this game.

I usually think baseball games are boring but this game changed my opinion on it, there are so many options in season and franchise mode. The thing that i think makes it amazing is the graphics and the option to fast forward to any inning in the game, also the ability to change the skill level on your team in season mode. AWW YEA!!!!!!

This has been the best franchise baseball game ever made and this year it keeps on getting better. I bought a playstation just for this game a couple of years ago, and I've never regretted it, 2k just took back video games 10 years with there version of what is suppose to be a baseball game. If you want to have a good time playing a baseball game this is the one and only game to get.

This game, was hands down, the best baseball game yet. They've improved a lot of things from 11. Such as Franchise Mode, Season Mode, and RTTS. The newest game mode (that I loved) was Diamond Dynasty. You get to create your own team and compete with other players. Just like any other MLB THE SHOW game, it takes some time to master or do good at this game. If New, watch tutorials of how to play. If you love baseball, buy...this...game.

I have played the show since 07, and mlb 12 is the best yet. I thought 11 was the best i was wrong. The new dimond dynasty mode is great. RTTS is the same but is better. I bought this when it came out I havent put it down since. The stadiums could use an upgrade but overall they are decent. The gameplay is great, with the new pulse pitching the game is faster. The new zone batting is too hard, so I switched back to regular analog batting. Overall the show hits another grandslam cant wait till the show 13.

I am going to start out saying I have bought this game since it first started coming out. In fact back in the day, I bought a Play station over an Xbox just to play this game (my sister works at Microsoft so I could get a discount on Xbox). There are a few things that I want to comment on. I am talking about game play in ‘road to the show’ only, not regular play. I feel the game play is very realistic accept for these points.
1. When you’re on base it would be nice to be able look around. When you’re on 2nd it be nice to look over at the 2nd basemen to see if he is coming up on you. An older version of this game had that. The base running stick sucks, it changes depending on which way you are looking. It should always be the same.
2. Again, What is with being benched for stealing? Last two years of the this game same problem, please update. Situation; Starting off my player is slow, so I don’t steal, but sometimes the 3rd base coach calls for you to steal. Ok, but I get thrown out, next thing I know, the manager is calling me out telling me I don’t have the green light and makes me a bench player. In real life won’t the manager be making that call to have me steal or not? So why ask to steal or beach? Next a few seasons pass, I build up my speed point and I get the “green light” to steal. My player is at the top of his game, about to win the Triple Crown. But now I’m a beach player. Why, for stealing and getting picked off twice in one game. WHAT manager would bench their MVP player? None… This green light, no green light BS needs to be removed from the game. My player is a top player, all-star, MVP, but is on the bench for stealing. I can see if I keep stealing and get thrown out. But say 2-3 times and on the bench. I even still steal at 80% rate. Come on, Beaching.?.
3. Should be more interaction with the agent. Maybe have the agent work out Endorsement deals. The bigger your player gets, the more deals and bigger pay days.
4. Why don’t you get extra points for being the player of the game?
5. How about keeping track of your longest HR’s for a season. Or a section for personal records. I know it has milestones but it doesn’t show a list of what they are.
6. You should get extra points for being a 40/40 player or what if that was part of your contract. Bounces your agent can work out when signing.
7. Why when playing the outfield the coach will have me back up for Kyle Blank but not for Josh Hamilton? Blank best year hit 10 HR, back up for him, really…
8. From Aug to Sept the announcer will say “I know there is a lot of score board watching at this time of the year……blah blah blah” during every game. Every game. It gets old.
I know these seem like all negative but it’s coming from someone who plays this game a lot, Really the game is great, gets better every year. This is just about the only game I play. Call of Duty and MLB the Show, 2K8 College Hoops (yes 2008). I play the show for a year until the next one comes out. Thanks

I love baseball, which is why I bought this game. It is very hard to get used to, as the computer has thrown a couple of perfect games against me, even on beginner. This game is NOT for casual gamers. If you're looking for a casual baseball game, pick up 2k12.
