Re: MLB 2K11 Reviewer First Impressions

Thanks for your initial impressions Chris. I agree that the stuff that needs fixing when it rears it's ugly head will make you say WTH...

It's in those moments that people will either:

A- Be totally turned-off, dismiss the game & be disappointed for another year

B- Will see those moments, not be discouraged & play the game & realize there's a good baseball game in between the lines.

For me it's B.

After playing almost all game modes, I'd say 2K stepped up My Player and Franchise mode. Game plays better than last year, the usual hiccup everyone once in a while. I give it a B+. Somethings still irritate me, but I feel the game is much improved.

Good impressions. I'm waiting on a few more reviews and impressions, but I still may end up picking this up... I certainly wouldn't mind having two good games to play, and the presentational stuff sounds great.

Agreed here.

I was and still am perturbed by a few things here and there from the demo, but there is still a lot that I like about the game.

I want to at least play it. Get a chance to make a solid opinion from the retail over the demo - which only seems fair to the company.

Also, they made it clear they wanted to make a game that gives the user the power to play the game the way they wanted and I just can't not support a company that understands that.

I don't care what game it is, why on earth would you buy it just to leave it sealed while you play a competing game? If you feel like throwing money away let me get you my paypal address...

Absolutely agree with that. And I just find it hard to believe the retail isn't better than the demo was. I made it pretty clear how bad I thought the demo looked, but man... presentation can go a long way to winning my heart, lol. I played the hell out of NBA 2K and I can't even tell you the last time I watched a basketball game on TV... the presentation was just THAT good.

Plus, we have a PS3 in our bedroom as well as our living room, and it would be sweet to have something to play in there too

Re: MLB 2K11 Reviewer First Impressions

I agree with the review in many areas. I am playing this on the PC and another game on the PS3 and I find, due to the wife on the TV, I am playing a lot more 2K11. This is a FUN game, it feels like baseball. The hits, the fielding, even the errors (8!!! in on game, 3 by renteria all on balls up the middle) it all FEELS right. The concerns I have a graphical glitches and statistical glitches (errors again) but in all of the mess, this game is fun.

I also agree. I have both games (both opened but I traded games in so I only really paid for one was my rationalization).....I love the show, have for however many years its been made, but towards the end of last year it started getting stale for me. It just seemed like it was the same thing each year. I am a classic controls kind of guy, I dont like the analog controls so that being the new thing didnt really interest me. 2k has some things I think are odd, The "milisecond" freezing is odd but doesnt impact my opinion very much. Its a fun game to play. Presentation wise its outstanding. Graphics probably are better on the show, but there is nothing wrong with these I dont think. Just my opinions people need to relax and not act like we are insulting your mother by saying we prefer 2k this year. Its kind of ridiculous.
