Complete List of New MLB 2K11 Gameplay Sliders


In a recent MLB 2K11 developer blog, Sean Bailey, a designer working on the game, mentioned that the "'Pitcher Control' slider is one of several new difficulty sliders that we added to the game this year." Well, even more of these "new" sliders were revealed today in a new MLB 2K11 developer blog.

Jonathan Rivera, another designer working on MLB 2K11, detailed the new fielding sliders that will be in the game this year. Explanations for those fielding sliders are as follows:

Quote:
Throw Accuracy – Modifies the difficulty of the throw meter when fielding.

Gather error frequency – Increases the slider to see more gather errors and decrease to see less gather errors.

Throwing error frequency – Modifies the frequency of throwing errors by the CPU or when putting the meter into the red.

Outfield & Infield Throw Speed modifier – Tunes the throw speed of the outfielders and infielders separately.

Outfield & Infield Run Speed modifier – Adjusts the running speed of the outfielders and infielders separately.

Baserunner speed – Tunes the running speed of the baserunners.

Catcher Arm Strength and Accuracy – Tunes how hard and accurate the catchers will throw on steal attempts.

While at a preview event, I found out the last of the new gameplay sliders that will be in MLB 2K11. These sliders include Batter's Eye Frequency and Pitcher Composure Influence -- this one was actually revealed in the screenshot above, but I got an explanation for the slider today. The Batter's Eye Frequency slider will tweak how often you can see the location and type of pitch being thrown, and it will obviously highlight the "eye" rating for each player. The Pitcher Composure slider will increase or decrease how quickly a pitcher can get rattled, and it obviously hones in on the player's composure rating.

In short, here is the entire list of new sliders:
  • Batter's Eye Frequency
  • Pitcher Control
  • Pitcher Composure Influence
  • Gather Error Frequency
  • Throw Error Frequency
  • Throw Speed (Separated for IF and OF)
  • Run Speed (Separated for IF and OF)
  • Catcher Arm Strength
  • Catcher Arm Accuracy
  • Baserunner Speed
Platform: NDS / PC / PS2 / PS3 / PSP / Wii / Xbox 360

Love the batter's eye slider. Personally I love this feature. Makes me feel like MVP 05 all over again.

Any idea just how sensitive the sliders are?

I'm hoping if you have errors for instance all the way down you see very few but if you have it all the way up you will see many, that kind of thing.

I agree on the batters eye. Some think it's kind of unrealistic but my thinking is just the opposite. It's just so difficult in these games to tell what kind of pitch is coming and whether it's a breaking ball or whatever. In real life MLB hitters generally have some idea esp. the good ones, as long as it's not overdone and a slider will help greatly with that.

I don't, but I was told that some of the sliders are very sensitive, so I would assume it will be easier to notice sizable differences after 5 clicks to the left or right.
