Re: MLB 2K11 Release Date Set For March 8th, 2011

Unless I see the game took a major step backwards for some unforseen reason, I will be picking this up over MLB 11-The Show.

Don't get me wrong, I love The Show. It might be my favorite sports game. I invested so much time in 08,09, and 10. That I don't really know if I want to start my RTTS or Franchise all over again this spring. Not enough changed for me from 09 to 10. I felt like I was doing the same thing over again. Thats not a bad thing, because its a superb game. Its just all that time I had invested in the previous title was gone, and I felt the upgrade may not have warranted it.

So I am hoping 2k polished things up, tightened up the gameplay, and expanded "my player" a bit. I will purchase 2k11 the day it comes out. I'll give it a good couple months. Put down The Show 10 during this span, and see what 2k11 is made of.
If it doesn't do it for me, then make the decision if I just want to continue with MLB10, or salvage whatever I can get for both them, and pick up MLB 11-The Show.

I can't recommend the PC version highly enough. A very good game on PC IMHO.

I can't wait to grab 2k11.

There has been some marginal improvements, but this franchise mode is lacking and needs a strong showing this year.

I personally loved 2K's batting angle. It really helped my eye. Combined that and a more responsive pitch speed slider I would actually get walks. One game I had 7! It's something I've never been able to do in the Show due to a combination of the hitting camera angle, fast pitch speeds (even 0 on the slider is a little too fast for me in the Show while 55 was perfect for me in 2K10) and my slower reflexes.

2K does need to add a much better fielding camera. It was garbage - too close up. The Show does a much better job in this department. Of course 2K also needs to totally overhaul fielding so we actually see errors this year. I will be extremely pissed if I don't see injuries and errors this year.
Definitely agree about the hitting angle in 2k11. It helped my eye so much. For the first time, I could draw walks pretty well. I mean, in my player mode, I didn't get nearly as many walks as other hitters, but I still got a decent amount of walks, and this was really the first baseball game that I've played that I could draw walks in.

Furthermore the cpu used the contact swing too often resulting in too few HRs, even with cpu power at 100. A big part of this problem is that there is way too much of a difference between the contact and power swing. The Show probably doesn't have enough of a gap but 2K10's gap is way too large.
I liken many things in last years game between mvp 03/04...getting there...a little wonky. I think this year will be better...I just get the feeling the franchise mode issues will still be there.

I just hope there isnt a list of 45+ bugs for this years game as well.

I also hope they include animations for errors and injuries, since woops! They forgot to do that lat year.

I am staying away from this game like the plague untill I read up on it before shoveling another $60 into the trash on a MLB 2K game.

\Rant.

2K10 was fun but there were so many things that they needed to fix I don't think it will be possible to correct all of them for 2K11. Only time will tell.

Re: MLB 2K11 Release Date Set For March 8th, 2011

Hmmmmm....there are so many things I want to say about there being no info or anything but lets face it, its not exactley something we arent used to from this paticular dev crew and company. I am optimistic, but gald I have oprions, especially since another company fixed all the prblems that kept me interested in this game. Still, I am optimistic for 2k11.
