New York, NY – March 6, in the year of our Lord 2012

system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment
system, Wii™ system, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment
system, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, Nintendo DS™
hand-held system and Windows PC .
Major League Baseball 2K12 features a new dynamic ratings system
designed to enhance the battle at the plate; revamped throwing
system that makes fielding more realistic; new hit distribution
system that allows for more varied and realistic hits; and an
enhanced My Player mode. Additionally, this year 2K Sports
announces the all-new MLB Today Season Mode that lets players
complete an entire season at the same pace as their favorite MLB
team. Using the powerful MLB Today engine, fans can track and
compare their stats and record to their real-life counterparts.
Gamers can play through their team’s real schedule, one game a
day, and see if they can play their way to a World Series title.
Developed by 2K Sports’ Visual Concepts studio, Major League
Baseball 2K12 will once again feature the $1 Million Perfect
Game Challenge. This year’s contest, which returns for the third
consecutive year and begins on Major League Baseball’s Opening
Day, April 4, 2012, elevates the competition by staging a live,
eight-person single elimination tournament to determine who
walks away with the $1 million grand prize. The finalists will
be determined by a dynamic leaderboard ranking the top perfect
games thrown. Gamers can repeatedly attempt to improve their
position on the leaderboard through April 30, 2012. For more on
this year’s Perfect Game Challenge, please visit

“I’m not perfect, but I’ve sure come close,” said Detroit
Tiger’s ace pitcher and Major League Baseball 2K12 cover athlete
Justin Verlander. “I can’t wait to watch this competition unfold
and see who will be the newest inductee into the 2K Sports
‘Perfect Club’ - a club I’m determined to get into myself.”
“Winning this competition is life changing,” said Brian Kingrey,
winner of last year’s Perfect Game Challenge. “I was a nervous
wreck just trying to pitch a perfect game from home, so I can’t
even begin to imagine how the final eight competitors are going
to feel. I’m excited to see how the contest plays out.’”
Major League Baseball 2K12 is rated E for everyone by the ESRB
and is now available.
