Re: MLB 2K11 Video: Philadelphia Phillies vs. Colorado Rockies

Not too bad. I too loved how the camera stays with the hitter a bit longer after the ball is hit.

I think presentation elements are lacking though... It's just kind of awkwardly focusing on players when big moments happen that should be getting big reactions from the teams/players (like the grandslam).

I only played my copy of 2k10 for a couple hours so I can't really say how this game compares to last year's, but this looks pretty decent. I also liked the hitting camera, it seemed to make it quite a bit easier to pick up the ball out of the pitcher's hand.

Also, the pitching changes seemed kind of odd and unnatural too. It would show a shot of Jose Contreras and put up a graphic for Ryan Madsen and they'd just start talking about Madsen, without any graphic of him 'entering' the game or any mention of a pitching change. Maybe it was just me, I found those parts especially awkward.

Manuel looked like a zombie...still seems a lot of hits are line drives...game still seems to play more like 'fastpitch softball'...

It was fun last year, it'll be fun this year, but I don't see any marked improvement

Great video, but was a bit bummed that I didn't get to see the USER pitch or field. I wanted to see the new pitching meter, the new throwing meter, and even the Rockies pitching cam (I wanted to see a ball hit to the OF as well to see how the new fielding works).

Love the commentary though and definitely look foward to trying this game out.

It maybe a coincidence, but isn't it a little odd that they said they toned down opposite field homers and in the first video a opposite field grand slam?

Actually I believe they did show the Madsen "coming into the game" cutscene or at the very least the JC Romero one. So it's there, the person playing may have cut it out.

I thought they said there'd be no "tells" on HRs and immediately in the first video you can definitely tell that was a Grand Slam homer.

I did like the atmosphere and the commentary is definitely beefed up.

Overall this game is looking pretty damn good.
