When is the last time you played the PS3 version of 2K10? I played it right before the demo. The games look almost identical other than the improved player models in 2K11 imo.

I am on PS3 and the graphics look good to me.

I am really impressed with the demo. You can tell VC put a lot of work in. I love the new camera when you put the ball in play.

Pitching is just fun as hell. Love the variable strike zones.

Animations look nice to me, you can tell they added quite a few.

Love the fielding, and throwing. I love having to get on my horse to get to a ball. It makes it feel challenging, and sometimes I don't know whether I will get there or not. I like that.

Hitting seems the same, but its pretty well done anyway. I am able to draw walks.

Did notice some frame rate issues with pop ups and foul balls.

I wish ground balls were hit a little more slowly in the infield so I had a chance to get in front of the ball instead of reaching for it.

Couple of questions though. Does anyone know how to change to get control of your outfielder when it first gives you control of an infielder?

And does anyone know if there will be other fielding cameras. I wish the default cam was a little higher.

Overall the game is on the right track.

A baseball game without check swings is just absurd to me this day in age. It completely changes at bats for the worse. I can't stand by that.

I think you just hit X to change fielders. That's how you did it last year anyways. I'm with you on the fielding camera. I want a higher one as well.

Think what you want. Just because I like the Show, and didn't have high opes for this game doesn't mean my opinion doesn't mean anything. Besides, with all the negative reviews, I don't think mine are out of line.

I took the time to download, and play 3 games so far. I have said that the 360 version looks better in video than the PS3 version, and that my gripes are about this version.

Just because some people enjoy inferior games doesn't mean they need to get all bent out of shape and start accusing people of trolling when they give it a bad review.


Thank you very much, and have a nice evening.

So far gave up a base hit to the TEX leadoff man, he steals 2nd, then Kinsler bunts him to 3rd, in the first inning. Hmm

And I am being serious. Last years game looked TONS better IMO. Game ended in a 0-0 tie, 2 hits a piece. Classic controls since the analog controls on this game are horrible (especially pitching... No real baseball motion involved what so ever). Player movement doesn't look realistic at all. Running, walking... Awful The fans in the stands are a plus. Look much better when a ball is hit into the stands than some other games I wont mention. Pretty sure I am gonna pass on this one. Didn't have very high hopes going in, and they made it clear that the developers didn't either.

For the record, it's impossible to implement "real baseball motion" on a video game controller. And since it was the only baseball game up until this year to even have analog controls, it's obvious they are just not for you since they are done as good as can be done given the circumstances. That "other" game (which I do love and always buy day one) failed big time on trying to do analog this year, so it's no easy feat.

Wait... there aren't check-swings again?!
