MLB 2K11 My Player and Franchise Mode Improvements (ESPN The Gamer)


Jon Robinson has just posted an article on the My Player and Franchise Mode improvements for MLB 2K11.

Quote:
"Another change is the fact that when you pause the game, it doesn't show you a pitcher's energy or stamina meter. Now, everything is tracked using actual pitch count data. So if Tim Lincecum is on the mound, there will be a box that tells you how the manager wants to keep him in the 80-110 pitch count range for the game. Keep him in too long throughout the season, and you're going to wear him down. Take him out too early too often, and you'll wear out your bullpen."

2K also added actual stat-based progression into the mix (unlike last year's game, that Bailey admits just gave players random progression points no matter how they played). But now that the statistics engine has been ironed out, it looks like players will actually progress at a more realistic rate.

"We gutted our player progression system," adds Bailey. "Now we factor in a player's potential, their age, their position, their style of play. Look at Buster Posey. He's got 5-star potential, and right now he's at 4 stars in the game and trending up and we show it all to you right on the screen.
NICE!!!

I stopped playing the game last year when I dominated with Felix, won the Cy Young, and his rating fell by 10 points. Good to see they are cleaning that stuff up.

That's looking awesome. I may even give franchise a real go this year.

A good example of this is in-game injuries. Forget the days of a screen just randomly popping up and telling you a player is hurt. In "MLB 2K11" you will see your player get injured on the field (all new motion-captured animations), then it's up to you to manage how to play him. You can keep him in, but his ratings are going to take a hit, or you can decide whether you want to put him on the DL or just bench him and hope he's a fast healer.
