MLB 2K11 Preview (Destructoid)

[Eddie1967]

A nice read, last years game was very much playable and it sounds like they have made major improvements to this years versions. I'm looking forward to getting this game.

You did make a nice backhanded swipe at another game though. You should watch that.....that's edgy stuff there.
I was laughing at your notion that
-"the other game" has nothing but auto fielding...and "you're watching the game"...
..and
-no game since BBPro has given gamers a good manage only mode or realistic stats.
Both HH and The Show give you both IMO.

Did they put Manage only Mode in 2K this year?

It looks good -- the jerseys and body types are a big improvement over last year, although as I mentioned, the faces are still hit-or-miss. I still don't think it looks as good as The Show, which is a game where you could occasionally fool yourself into thinking -- even if just for a second -- that you were watching a real game. But it's no slouch.

Thats what I wanted to hear man thanks ......Faces are not a big problem for me but better jerseys are cool........As long as the game is better than last year I am in

I wasn't talking about any other game. I wasn't aware that The Show had auto-fielding, let alone only auto-fielding. I do know that 2K used to have auto-fielding in the past. And that many felt like 2K10's fielding was everything but.

And while HH and The Show are better than anything else out there in terms of manage only that isn't a text sim, neither came close to to what BBPro did. 2K had manage only at one point, but took it out.

As I said, 2K seems to emphasize playing the game over the manage only mode, which is why it is no longer in the game.

If I had my preference, I would only play online games in manage only mode. I don't think the lag allows for the dynamic hitting and pitching experience required to make the games compelling. But I would need the mode to be a hell of a lot beefier, and produce a lot more reports than anything I have seen outside of text sims.

Regardless, there was no swipe at the other game. And as such, there was really no need for you to come here and bring it up. I'd say this little exchange says a lot about your motivations for keeping an eye on this forum. You seem awfully defensive.

Ahhh deflection.....great tactic.
But alas...no....incorrect.....no motivations.

Lets get back on topic gentlemen.

Thanks.

Any word on the quality of the PS3 version? I know it will never look as good as the 360 version but it's got to be better looking than last year.
