MLB 11 The Show First Look

Another thing to add:

What an amazing beard!

I'm still banging out franchise games on MLB 09, but the addition of analog pitching and fielding (not too big on analog hitting, it's hard enough with just a button press for me ) along with all the other neat things they added last year and this coming year, it's making it hard for me to not drop $60 come March release. I have 3.5 months to deliberate...

I'm not trying to sound down and out here I am just saying what I feel. I have never been a year to year sports guy. I think it is the unreal expectations I have from the game because it is good that I prepare myself to be underwhelmed. I really do expect animations and stadiums to be much improved but I am not sure how far they will go. It doesn't, for me personally, look like they will reach the plateau I would want for spending another 50 or 60 on this. 10 was already a pretty damn good game. Little improvements here and there don't really make a difference. I would love for the Twins logo behind the batter to be changed to the TC and the grass to be as green as it is in real life or for the HoF numbers in the outfield to be in the right order but I am certainly not going to pay 60 dollars for it. The buildings and cityscapes imo need a lot of improvement but again I am just not expecting those kind of things. They had other priorities and I doubt much optimization went into textures and colors of the grass and walls and signs. Would it be that hard for this team to use Pitch F/X and actually make this game a sim instead of having us do it? How about all the crazy stances and motions that aren't even close. These are legitimate concerns. I don't have another 100 hours to put into doing stuff that I want done by the people actually making the game.

Why would they? That would be a waste of everyone's time.

I love this time of year...Color me impressed and impatiently waiting to get my hands on MLB 11 already.

Everything looks and sounds awesome!!!!!

[Chef Matt]

Yep, everything sounds awesome. Can't wait to dive into this one. Speaking of dives, I hope this year I'll be able to get a better handle on diving catches. I really had a tough time getting those this year.
