MLB 2K11 Developer Diary #2 - 2K10 vs 2K11 Side-by-Side Comparison

I agree it looks better but the video screen is just soooooooo lame and ugly.....Not a deal breaker for me of course but still...

another no win for 2K

Gameplay sounds like it will be better so people are bitching about graphics. 2K responds with a very nice article that shows how much work they've done to make the game look better and.......people bitch

It's not like they aren't going to release game videos or info on the franchise, just be patient. What's the difference if they release it now or next week, it's still before the game's actual release. Releasing gameplay vids a month before the game comes out doesn't sell games, making a great game sells games.

You make a good point.

Dayummm the faces look 100x better now! And realistic!

last insight was text heavy, this one was pic heavy.

yes we were all expecting a bit more but its all good.
in due time we will see the floodgates open.

as far as the improvements to the graphics, yes there was an upgrade, but its still a bit behind what is possible in 2011.
Tho, last year I enjoyed the game and the graphics really never got on my nerves.
the scoreboards tho.....lol

Ahh finally something... i am pleasantly surprised im glad they worked on those things.. the lighting on the crowd and stadium was so dull so happy to see that worked on, and nice they added more life to the characters. Very happy with what i saw... nice step.

The details on the jerseys are more apparent and the facial details are looking about a billion times better, so no complaints there. I really don't see that much of a difference in the overall models (body shape, etc), but some of the improvements they are touting (the fixed depth pop-in, etc) need the game to be in motion to really appreciate.

I just wish they'd stop with the pics and comparisons. Show us the game in motion. If comparisons are to be made, give us video comparisons. Animations make or break the look of a game more than facial details IMO.

I'm hoping that the lighting makes playing day games and late afternoon games more visually pleasing. If they aren't, I'll still settle for the gameplay improvements for THIS year's game. I did think parks like Citizens Bank/AT&T/Yankee Stadium/Tropicana or whatever it's called... were too cartoony in day/afternoon/night games and hopefully the shadows make them look more lifelike.

The next insight has to be on something important because the million-dollar contest and graphical improvements have already been covered... here's hoping the next one details gameplay(probably the new fielding controls and system in action).
