MLB 11 The Show Video: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs (Gameplay)

[MarinersVsDodgers]

If only SCEA could have a blockbuster trade sending EK and Soup to 2k for their commentary.

Like noted by everyone else, they do not talk with each other. Seems very...weird.

They were talking to each other when we were there. Not to the level people are expecting, but far more than edited video can attest to.

Anyways, personally, I know that to get a full scope of the gameplay improvements, especially in this series, I have to actually PLAY the game. So much of the year-to-year improvements are tied to feel with The Show that I'm not gonna judge harshly based on a video. Besides, I have nothing negative to say. Game looks stupid realistic, lighting is out-of-this-world, stances and deliveries aren't perfect but more than good enough (and better than any game's done in any baseball game) and just through a video, gameplay improvements are evident (like the aforementioned missed ball by the outfielder). Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I'm just not really understanding what people's expectations are when it comes to annual sports game releases. Even the commentary isn't as bad as this poorly edited video shows. I look forward to release day anxiously. Sent from my MB300 using Tapatalk

I wanted to reply to this thread after watching the video a couple times, but I'm a little loopy from pain meds. So I'll just quote this response and say I feel the exact same way. I'm practically giddy to get my hands on the demo tomorrow and the full game on the 8th. Woohoo!

It sure doesn't say much for the commentary part of the game if they give you an option to mute any of the broadcasters! That aspect of the Show is definitely the weak link of the chain. I think there is a strong consensus among gamers to that effect.They ought to do something about it next year. I don't pretend I'm qualified enough to tell the guys at SCEA what to do, but perhaps they should copy what 2K does in that regard. Their commentaries are way better than the Show's. Granted, it's the only positive point I find in their game!

I actually find the negative responses quite funny. This is the best baseball game out there period. There is nothing that comes close. If those who are turned off by a video of the game they haven't played yet decide not to buy it, then great. We won't have to listen to their whining or complaining, and this game will still sell a TON of copies. Their loss I guess.

SCEA is masters at getting the most out of the graphical engine with each new installment. lighting kept this from looking EXACTLY like ten. Player models are nice but in the flow of this clip, you can't tell they are new unlesss ur REALLY looking. - presentation wow, even with editing of the in between stuff the announcing was B.R.U.T.A.L. Just brutal. for 2010. brutal. the lack of a decent crowd too killed the feel in that clip. SCEA, time to overhaul it. it feels like nappytime watching it. lol overall, not much to say. The Show visually takes steps forward and then sticks in the mud regarding sound and presentation. still too much like 10, like 10 was too much like 09. I really like Matty V in real life, but in this game hes just not good. presentation is just as important as all the other stuff. i'll play th demo this week as the controls dont come into play when just watching a clip, so i'll see how that rocks, but from what I have seen so far, I aint feeling this years game two weeks away.

Hmmm...

I actually hate to say it, but I agree with all of this - I am a lil' disappointed in seeing this video. I really wish I wasn't, but I am.

I already preordered and will be picking up the game anyway, but all I can say is, "wow - hmm..?"

I liked what I saw. New player models look great. Only thing that stuck out negative wise is the catchers stances. Would love to see more varied stances than just one. I also think they could do a better job of having the catcher set up on the corners.

Other than that, I'm super pumped for the demo tomorrow.
