The Show 12

Anyone getting  it this year? I'm considering it sionce Sony is doing a combo deal for the PS3 and Vita version for $79.99 and I have a $25.00 off coupon from Gamestop.

 

Looks like it might be worth picking up this year since there seems to be a large MMO franchise mode in this version. And the stupid move controls too....Yell

I'll be buying both the ps3 and vita versions.  Where did you hear about this combo deal?  I tried to find one, but came up empty.

Looks like Amazon is not going to offer the bundled price.

 

Best Buy is supposed to in Sundays ad acccording to CAG.

 

I know for sure Wal mart is offering the bundle, it's on their website as a preorder.

Thanks for the links corbindallas.  I checked around, and so far no Canadian retailers have heard anything about the combo bundle.

I don't think I will get it this year.  I got last years.  I liked it but I think I am going back to 2k.  After playing the 2k12 demo I realized I forgot how much that game was made for the average gamer, not the baseball player.  Hitting is so much more relaxed, you don't have to have big league reflexes to play the game.  I don't think I ever walked in the Show because it is just too fast and I swing at every pitch except for 0-2 when the AI always throws low and away.  Though I would rather have the visuals and commentary from the show.

I picked up The Show today. Thought about 2k12 after playing demo,but nagging issues every year with that game made me think twice.

I like it so far. I haven't bought a sports game in awhile and The Show always seems to be the game to get. I have not played online,just some exhibition stuff.

early reviews of online are a disaster according to operation sports forums - this is typical for launch though for the show - I'll wait it out if online is good then I'll give it a shot  -but this game just doesn't have the staying power online to make it worthwhile.  Tiger woods demo just got released today on 360 and ps3 its coming any day now
