Product Information

Get in the game with America’s longest running Major League Baseball video games franchise. Like each successive addition to the sports series, Major League Baseball 2K12 for the Microsoft Xbox 360 platform builds on its predecessors, not least in this case with the all-new MLB Today Season Mode, which allowed players to play along with the real-life MLB season until its conclusion in October.

The video game has excellent replay value, challenging players to develop batting skills and versatility with the advanced Dynamic Tendency System. Pit playing styles against sophisticated artificial intelligence that learns player tendencies and employs tactics accordingly. Use the color-coded system of pitching options to avoid heavy reliance on a single style and the penalties that come with it. Engage with strategic risk vs. reward situations. Choose to queue up throws to save time or carefully set feet for greater accuracy. Helpful announcers, complete with hundreds of new lines, do justice to the enhanced gameplay features. Listen carefully to the observations and criticisms of announcers John Kruk, Garry Thorne, and Steve Phillips to develop new approaches and better, more realistic baseball games. Then employ their advice immediately with responsive player characters and controls. Another welcome contribution from the announcers is their sharing of information on the opponents, as well as the progress and performance of the player’s characters and team.

Major League Baseball 2K12 for the Xbox 360 is a solid and popular addition to the series. One of the most anticipated improvements over earlier games in the series was an overhaul to the realism. In Major League Baseball 2K12, there are none of the superhuman catches of its predecessors, for example. Experience clearer, crisper graphics with higher contrast for more realistic settings and greater detail, right down to players’ facial features as well as lifelike grass and believable bases. Enjoy smoother camera movements and animations, including crowd reactions as they rise to catch the ball.

Also available for the PS3, Major League Baseball 2K12 for the Xbox 360 benefits from a familiar interface and gameplay, adding improved features like a strike zone color change to show when a pitcher is about to pitch. Thanks to this and other changes, online Xbox Live multi-player has a smoother feel in general. Customize players’ paths to the Majors with an improved My Player Mode. Tailor goals, expectations, ratings and progression to position and player type. Set to a high-tempo soundtrack compiled by SPIN magazine to feature the likes of Cool Kids, Skrillex, Grouplove, and My Morning Jacket, Major League Baseball 2K12 for the Xbox 360 promises hours of fun for the MLB and sports aficionado.

Play offline against intelligent opponents or online against real people around the world. Rely on Major League Baseball 2K12 on the Xbox 360 for a reliable baseball video game experience, getting the critically acclaimed 2K treatment that has also brought NBA and NFL to life. Major League Baseball 2K12 is a popular and dependable alternative to the R.B.I Baseball games, as well as other baseball games across a range of consoles, including PlayStation 3 (PS3), PlayStation 4 (PS4), Nintendo Wii U, and 3DS.
