MLB 12: The Show

[NAHSTE]

Russell from Sony posted over at OS and said to try Veteran Hitting and Hall of Fame Pitching online for better results for batting avg., runs, etc. Due to the fact batting averages and run scored were so low.

Just tried one game using those settings and saw more runs and more hits. I'll keep playing and see what a bigger sample size shows.

We've been using this in league tests with modified sliders and we've been seeing better results. W2B and I also ran an exhibition game with HOF/vet default settings, and while there were more hits the score was 2-1.

Damn. I really wish I was available to play in the leagues.

I just played one game with my buddy. Usually the scores are 1-0, 2-1 type games. We just had a 4-3 game, He hit 2 HRS, I hit 1 HR, both had a bunch of hits, seemed like we had better contact as well.

I'm just wondering exactly what HOF pitching does. I was under the impression the meter or whatever would just be tougher to click on the meter exactly causing more balls, giving you less likely hood to get a good pitch in the zone. Or maybe it caused more meatball pitches not sure.

I'm still not sure why I can't see post swing info for my batters online.

It works fine offline, but online I can only see where the PCI is, and what pitch was thrown, timing or contact does not come up.

I have Swing Info "ON" in general settings, and even tried button. Still cannot see my swing contact and timing info after an at bat.

Does having Guess Pitch "OFF" cause this maybe? I'm completly stumped why timing and contact swing info does not come up post pitch.

Started an RTTS as a Closer. I was drafted by the Angels (spent my entire time in AA ball here) and then traded to the Braves mid-season and eventually got called up to AAA.

In the AA I was the closer. I played 44 games and converted 39 of 44 saves with a 1.98 ERA and an 0-1 record. 41 K's in 41 IP isn't bad.

AAA I was just a relief pitcher and played 6 games. 1.04 ERA, 1 Save, 1 Hold, and 10 K's in 8.2 innings of work.

I just signed a one year contract to be the Braves AAA Closer.

Been playing the show since 09 and just did something I've never been able to do before - make a HR robbing catch at the wall.

Brewers - Cards, Btm 9, leading 4-3, Doesn't get much better than that.

Is anyone else doing much Diamond Dynasty?

Is anyone else doing much Diamond Dynasty?

Played 22 games of it so far. 2-20 record.

Didn't spend any money training any of my original guys though. So once I finish the 30-35 games with my original players I should be able to buy/train a pretty sick team.

This guy. Wish I could restart it!!!

Hows yours???

First two games were rough. Starting to get the hang of training guys and stuff. My first set of MLBers is about to run out though, but I just bought the MLB Elite card pack with my free 7,000 points from Walmart . I'm 6-2 right now, but haven't played online yet. Got some good specs that are about ready to come off the reserves. My pen needs some work, but I just got Heath Bell in a MLB card pack, so that should help there. Looking for a decent OFer to take over for Josh Hamilton though. I see you can buy or sell cards, I wish you could trade them, that would be cool. How's your team doing?

Ouch, pretty rough start. But yeah, you should be able to get a pretty awesome team now. Did you play mostly CPU or H2H?


Glad I'm not the only nerd who finds DD fun as hell lol.

I did 2 online, 1-1 record and the rest CPU. Only team I've beat is the Padres, trying to play all the teams at least once. No MLBers on my team either, going with full dynasty.

[Swarley]

My lineup right now has 3 MLBers in Josh Hamilton, Elvis Andrus and Matt Wieters. Wieters and Andrus have 2 games left, and Hamilton has 3. I have good specs for SS and C, plus I have 4 MLB middle infielders that are all 80 and higher. Going to try and look around tonight and see what I can find for a replacement for Hamilton.

[Swarley]

Oh, I want to see some pictures of your guys' DD unis. I'll post mine up soon.

[Bomberooski]

So shark, you're just building a cash fund and then buying a team that will be your real team??
