Has work on 2K11 Begun?

[TimeBombTown]

Well, today is the final day of August, which going by the March release date the MLB 2K games have been keeping...that means there are only 6 months left. I'm really hoping 2K has started work on the next game...if not, I can't imagine how having less than 6 months would be enough time to turn out a quality game, even using 2k10 as a starting point. Anybody have any insight?

All sports games start almost immediately after the previous version releases.

Has there been any word from the devs on features or whatnot? For some reason I seem to remember hearing a lot more about the games this close to release date...or maybe I'm impatient.

I remember them talking about why there won't be any more patches because they're already working on 11. That was months ago.

This close to release date? I doubt you'll hear anything at least until the time of the World Series. Then maybe they'll give a snippet of info or two. The current season is still going on, so they're still riding 2k10 for now. If they start releasing info now, those people getting baseball fever won't run out and buy 2k10, they'll hold off for 2k11. So I'd say late October you'll get something.

I really hope they redo the entire fielding, because it's the weakest part of the game. If they fix fielding this game might become a good contender.

I agree with you about the fielding aspect of the game. The animations are not realistic most of the time. Also, they need to do something about the player's legs cause the faster guys like Brett Gardner, Jose Reyes, Curtis Granderson, etc.. with thin legs have tree trunk legs in the game.

They usually start to release info around January, sometimes December.
