MLB 2K11 Developer Diary #4 - Revamped Fielding System, Animations, Sliders & Videos

[bulls23]

Really like the new fielding icons and the sliders. Give gamers as much control as you can! Also noticed Miller Park is open to sunshine this year and not closed all the time like last year.

My goodness, the fielding looks incredible this year. I've always been a guy who loves to pitch and field more than anything in a baseball game, and 2k nailed it! This is looking like a definite purchase this year. This is gonna be the first baseball game where you are going to be forced to use defensive substitutions in the latter innings. Job well done

Loved everything I read in there. Very happy they added error sliders, those were something I really wanted because if it's over/under done, we can tune it. Also happy about the other sliders they added. I can't wait to try this out.

Looks really nice, just wish the groundballs werent as fast.

The nerve of 2k, making me have to think too much about fielding, subs, and the like.

What are they trying to do? Simulate the real game of baseball or something!!?? Har har.....

LOVE THIS DD! I love they are showing examples of how they fixed things this year. Great job so far 2k. Now let's get that mo out so we can see for ourselves.

Video Looking Good.

I'm thinking about picking this game up this year, and this video is making that look like a good decision.

love the context and position specific animations along with all the ratings and sliders to differentiate things further, if needed. It all sounds good.

To me though, the most exciting thing I read was that height and weight will influence animations as well as the ratings. This should better ensure things look and play out much more realistically.

Seriously the best dev diary I've ever read by 2K. I am very impressed with the amount of depth and variety they are putting into their fielding.
