Re: Major League Baseball 2K11 Review (360)

I think the new format would be better if it was just two parts - Early Impressions and a Final Review. I'm not sure if we need the other stuff as it just gets rehashed in the final review.

On a side note, started a Tigers franchise tonight and Zumaya got hurt and is out 4-6 months lol.

RE: Review format...

Maybe include a post patch update as well?

Often times a game will change somewhat dramatically after a patch has been implemented, for better or worse. I assume we'll be getting another patch for this game, and if so it might just be worth noting.

Only a couple reviews have this super-extended format, otherwise many other games fall into something you are talking about. That being said, the idea is sort of to be repetitive. You change your thoughts if needed, but otherwise it just ends up sort of wrapping up and summarizing by the final review with this style.

Yeah, that's the plan for sure. It obviously won't change the review score or anything, but will be worth a new article.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K11 Review (360)

This is about how I would score the game. I'd put it in the 7 range myself. Good game, but not a great game. Questionable AI, graphical issues and some awkward animations take away from the game.

MLB Today, and the Presentation are huge pluses for the game for me.

Probably going to do what I did last year. Play the Show for RTTS and franchise play, and play this game for MLB Today as a fun change of pace.

It's great to have two fun, quality baseball titles available.

I agree with your score. Unfortunately the game isn't that big of an improvement over 2k10 which was a 7 imo also. Polish is exactly how I would describe what the game is lacking.

I haven't seen this killer, yet, playing several games with the demo and retail version. Should this happen? No.

I'm sure it will be patched, day 1 patch killed one of the running up the wall bugs.

And anyone who says 2k11 isn't much better than 2k10, didn't play 2k10 much at all. No injuries and no errors in 2k10 killed the game for me.

Now those were game-killers.

Wasn't there a bug like that in The Show last year?

And in 2K11, I haven't heard of the fielding going through the wall. What I've seen is a running robbing a home run AT the wall and it being considered a homerun. Maybe they're separate bugs, but I haven't seen any fielders go through any walls.
