MLB 2K11 Demo Impressions Roundtable

[TexasBorn1]

I am happy with 2k11 this year. The revamped fielding, dynamic player ratings, hitting and pitching controls are what sold me based on the demo. No its not a pretty game like some have said, Josh Hamilton & some other players look...very strange and are only recognizable by name/number, but I had a lot of fun and that is what matters most. I agree that the animations are lacking and sometimes the pitchers look uninterested during cutscenes, but they definitely got the gameplay down. It feels like my inputs matter and its not completely random. I also love that they have stats everywhere and the inside edge system

Ok, I think we're done here. Let's move on.

That's why I said we're done. Sorry about that.

The more I play the 2K11 demo the more I like the game. It's too easy on the default settings but I think the game will play really well with difficulty level and/or slider adjustments.

MLB 2K11 does lack polish in some areas but I think people overuse this to suggest that 2K can't be sim and is just for the casual baseball fan (it's a bit elitist at times). Just because the AI has some quirks doesn't mean the batting and pitching engine can't be realistic which is the basis of all great baseball games. I'm absolutely in love with the bat off the ball physics in the demo. Huge improvement over 2K10 in this area.

I changed my profile & was shocked when my SS didn't move for a ball hit in the hole.

This should be a fun fielding experience

The guys at the roundtable must be on some kind or drugs. In The Show roundtable they talk about how they think its the same game as last year and after playing the 2K11 demo I thought these guys would atleast be able to tell that after minor improvements 2K11 still is not even close to The Show!

Why all the Show bashing/talk?
This is a roundtable about 2k's demo.

As usual, these articles are top notch.

There is something unique about 2k11 this year.
Still trying to put my finger on it.
