MLB 2K11 Video: Philadelphia Phillies vs. Colorado Rockies

Omg the game looks amazing than last year! Also love the way the ball travels out of your bat, it's like watching it in your own eyes.
IM SOLD!

They released a vid that IMO showed nothing about what they were talking about...improved pitch AI , new hit types, etc. It was more bad marketing

^^^This. Underwhelmed. Missed those 4,000 new animations they were talking about. Anyone catch them? Announcers beat the crap out of the other game though. That's the only positive I'm taking away from it

This might seem like a nitpick, but with all the attention 2K payed to player models, facial expressions, unique animations etc, why did miss the fact that no plate umpire wears his cap backwards? Ooops!

coming from a show fan, I love how you can see the ball leave the bat after contact in the 2k series.
I wish the show had that instead of cutting right to the fielding camera after immediate contact.

2k7 was a 30fps game, since 2k jumped to 60fps they've always struggled with graphics.

Very impressed by that. Commentary is amazing along with the ball off the bat camera. Since I have not played this game in years, all the problems of the previous years that I am reading about are unknown to me. Chances of purchase went from 70% to 90%. Good stuff.

Charlie Manuel wants you to be his apprentice.

lol @ Manuel. Anyway I thought the video was alright. I mean it's only one video and who knows who was playing it or what difficulty level it was on etc.. I am not a fan of camera when the ball is in play on offense. When I heard about it I knew I was not going to like it and this video confirms that for me. I hope we can change it back to the standard view. The cut scene of the homerun looked a little odd with the batter running in slow mo. Also like others I noticed the animations hiccups that have plagued this game for years. Overall though not bad. I'll wait for the demo to get any real first impressions.
