Much like last year, the pitching mechanics involves the use of the right analog stick after you have selected your pitch. Once you select your pitch a transparent menu appears with directions on how to throw fastballs, curveballs, sliders, change-ups, and so on.
The only change as I see for MLB 2K12 pitching mechanics is the colour coded system that indicates when you have been pitching too many of the same types of pitch. This new system forces you to mix up your pitches and not rely on one or two money pitches. If you start repeatedly pitching the same pitch batters will tee off and in no time flat you will be getting a visit to the mound.
For the most part, the hitting mechanics remain untouched as well. Much like last year, a power swing is accomplished pulling the right analog stick down and moving it up as you make contact. Likewise, a contact swing is pulled off by moving the stick up and defensive swings are accomplished by moving the stick either to the left or right. One thing I noticed right off the hop is the ability to hit home runs has improved.
I just found hitting the ding-dongs a tad easier. Of course there are a number of variables that go into hitting a big fly such as your experience with the game, the player you are using, and your ability to hit the right pitch, but I for one noticed an improvement in this department.
Likewise, the AI is able to hit it out the park much easier this time around as well. This being said, you still have to be patient at the plate. If you come out swinging at every pitch, you will end up frustrated and hitless.
Much like a real life at bat, you have to be selective and patiently wait for the pitch. As I played I also noticed the defense remains largely unchanged; however, I did feel like turning double plays was a little more difficult. He vows that he did not use the exploit in his perfect game, thrown with Esmil Rogers of the Colorado Rockies against the Arizona Diamondbacks, on April That was eight days before Haff's text message to Young, revealing the discovery of the exploit.
His game, Young says, was tied headed into the bottom of the ninth, which is why he'd struck out Arizona pitcher Daniel Hudson for the final out. On the very first pitch of the bottom of the ninth inning, the Rockies' Troy Tulowitzki hit a walk-off home run, giving Young the perfect game, and a score that, when it was verified, placed him sixth overall. It is a lot of money.
Anybody who participated in this put a lot of hours into it. We look forward to awarding someone a million dollars on May 10 in New York. I'm trying to help make their contest legitimate and help weed out players who played their contest against the rules. I should be at least eighth, or even seventh. Haff seems to think there are others in the top 8 who used the exploit, too.
Asked today if he believes others in the top eight used the exploit, Haff said no. In a text message exchange between Young and Haff, evidently after the Facebook argument, Young says "I'm not doing this to fuck you.
I was trying to find out if it was legit so I could do it too.
