Check out the new MLB 2K11 Developer Diary. Senior Producer, Mark Little discusses dynamic player ratings, presentation and more.

Quote:


	"To describe the system in one sentence: the Dynamic Player Rating system (DPRS for short) dynamically adjusts player ratings to represent recent performance. It is simple to say but it is a little more complicated to do. I’m going to walk through the basics of how we do this. To begin with, the only way to make a player play better or worse than normal is to adjust up or down the ratings for the player. Albert Pujols is a beast at the plate because his contact and power ratings make him amazing. So, when we adjust player ratings, we adjust how the game will play with that player. The end goal of the DPRS is to determine how and when to adjust player ratings to represent their recent performance."

Sounds awesome, hopefully it works a lot better than DNA in NBA Live.

Starting to get (cautiously) very excited for this game.

If this engine works as Mark Little claims, it should really make for some interesting games. I love the idea of HOT & COLD streaks & the way they will be capturing that data.

You also can see the Stadium specific Cameras @ work in the screens he posted.. Nice

I'm glad to get some clarification of the DPRS in Franchise. I had incorrectly assumed it took values from real life. I think it was the wording of the feature. I'm cautiously optimistic about how well it'll work, though.

Nice vid and good read. __________________ EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.
