Check out all the screenshots in Hi-Res, right here.

MLB 2K11 Developer Diary #2 is available now. Art Director, Heather Marshall talks about reaching a higher level of graphic quality across the board, focusing on player likenesses, lighting, uniforms, and overall realism.

Quote:

"Player body types have also received a complete overhaul. We have taken our Minor League players and given them a chest and shoulders worthy of the Majors. From the beginning, we realized that every MLB player must have a more athletic, professional physique. We built the average athletic body, going back to basic anatomy, to make sure it had the right balance of muscle, weight and bone to fill out that uniform. We focused a lot on the chest and shoulders which needed the most attention. From there, we adjusted the weight and muscle to make up the nine different body types in our roster. Along with all these body types, we made sure that the players kept the right shape as the camera moved further away from them and they become smaller on the screen. This way, when the camera pans out to see your player run the bases, he’ll maintain his shape rather then popping back to an average size body, as was the case in 2K10."

Just talks about different lighting, and the player models. It does look better...it looks like they tweaked the gloves a little, but still atrocious.


Def. not info I was hoping for.

[WazzuRC]

Wow, that's pretty underwhelming. Definitely not the info I was expecting.

Franshise Insight is coming right up guys it say's on 2K forums.............

[Jamin23]

I can't say it doesn't look better, but the think that still irks me is the way they design the scoreboard with the players career stats and not the game or season stats.

There are definitely improvements in those screens, but I'd really like to hear more about Franchise and My Player. Hopefully the ESPN preview has some good info.

As I said in the "Perfect Game Trailer" if you download it via the Marketplace you can see the Graphical difference. Especially in the Player Models.

I will say the Lighting looks really good in those screens.
