I really wonder if the people who say this is the same game as 2k10 really played 2k10. I wish the graphics were better (The Show definitely wins here) but they aren't THAT bad. I've seen people make comments about them being Xbox (or PS2) quality, which is pretty laughable. For me, what matters is fun, and 2k11 just blows The Show out of the water in this category. Pitching is so much more intuitive in 2k11. Its not just pull straight back and push forward. Hitting doesn't feel like work, its FUN, which isn't that what a game is supposed to be?

I agree that the pitching is fantastic but the hitting is brutal in this game. When a hitter swings and misses it looks like he swung a straw at full speed.

But you cannot say that the pitching is intuitive in 2k and then say the hitting does not feel like work and it is fun when to make contact all you are doing is hitting up on the stick and you get no penalty for not striding which is realistic hitting.

The show makes you stride correctly to get the correct power and leverage. Which is realistic and intuitive unlike the 2k which is just flick up.

See what I mean.

Why are we still talking about The Show in the MLB 2K demo impressions thread?

If you want to talk about The Show's amazing features, talk about it in the Show demo thread.

Leave The Show out of this thread. It has no place in an Impressions thread about MLB 2K's demo.

I got a call from a friend who said that his local spot in NJ might get the game in Sunday if the owner drives to the city to grab them or not first thing Monday morning

I already paid for the game so I hope to have it tomorrow

Well, playing on a PS3 and an HDTV, I gotta say I'm disappointed...

Like others have said, the graphics are pretty sorry. Jaggies and the like.

My last hope is the PC version. At least I know I can make it look better and get rid of the jaggies, but if the gameplay is unsatisfactory, I may skip out on all BB titles this year.......

Spoiler

The "other" game has gotten stale in the presentation dept...

I agree that the swing and miss feels pretty poor but when you hit the ball i don't get that feeling. Almost seems as though when you miss it's like you checked your swing or something and didn't follow through.

I think the game looks poor graphically on ps3 but I love the control scheme. The game is simple which leads to being pretty entertaining. I have some questions before deciding which game to get Tuesday so I'm really looking forward to talking to somebody that gets it early.

I played another game as SF and Texas got the first two hitters on then up comes Josh Hamilton who laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt.
