At least one of the iterations of All Star Baseball on the PS2 had this feature and I'm not sure why it's never been replicated again until now.

I think in The Show 2012 I didn't try to win, I tried to draw 3 walks per game. It was so loving difficult. I was a free-swinger and the CPU liked to paint the corners.

So Quick Counts sounds cool. Would like to have OBP guys that wasn't made up entirely of batting average.

Playing 12 right now and I'm more pissed off by the computer's ball/strike calls. I'm tempted to change it, but lord knows it's still more consistent than a real umpire.

GROSS SHIT
I adjust the sliders so the AI pitchers have a bit more control but throw way fewer strikes. I'm still in the bottom five league wide for walks but I'm not 30th! I usually get like 3-5 walks a game.

No price but I'm going to guess the console versions are $15.

I'm still interested in it as a quick alternative to the show's learning curve but I've got to see some responses to the actual game first. I'm not paying full price if it's generic and cheap (first red flag: looks like only one generic stadium), and any kind of NBA Jam comeback AI is a complete dealbreaker.

They made a big announcement today. It's basically pretty true to the '94 era RBI baseball with the 3 body types for batters and multi-player that is limited to local play.

It very much looks like a lovely iOS game ported to consoles too. I have low expectations for this one.

•Universal Profile (PS3 & PS4) – A new tendency-tracking system monitors and records gamers’ unique playing styles. Those patterns are stored in the Universal Profile, which can be viewed by anyone looking to get a quick scouting report on the player. The Universal Profile can also be subbed in in place of a CPU opponent in Diamond Dynasty and Online Franchise, making for more realistic head-to-head matchups when schedules prevent synchronous play.

    *When creating your new ballplayer, you will select a home region (West, Central, East, International), which will become your team in the Showcase.
    *The Showcase comprises of three games.
    *Major League scouts will be grading your performance in order to determine your Draft stock.
    *The Draft experience includes the ability to hear all of the selections in your round called out, including your own name.
    *You are able to re-play the Showcase by “returning to school,” but doing so will age your player.

So happy that benchmark goals are gone. It was so annoying being this generational talent and being stuck in the bullpen because you failed to get an RBI.

A bit concerned about the showcase thing after playing NBA2k14 and just how long it took from going to creating your player to finally playing a NBA game. It's fun enough the first time, but if you start multiple people like I did, it sucked eventually.

Seems weird that that's not for PS4 as well, but I probably wouldn't play much of 2k14 anyway so oh well.
