Lack of Info, and Gameplay Video's?..makes me say SameOl

[The Living Legend]

Now before everyone jumps on me for saying this is what has been like every year, your right i know that. But the problem is look at the outcome of every version of the game.

Nba 2k11 the amount of info and gameplay videos were a great amount. I understand they have 2 different development teams and i know that there is no way that MLB 2k11 will have the overhaul as NBA, but the comparison is just plain ridiculous when it came to info.

I just am surprised that how bad this game was rated and taken in by the community they would release more info and video's to show people the strides they have made to improve this game, but i am sorry for me it just makes me think the same ol is going there....sigh as a xbox360 owner i really hope i am wrong.

Actually, from what i hear, there were quite a few people that worked on NBA 2K11 that are working on MLB 2K11. I could be wrong, but i believe i heard that somewhere.

Yeah Id like to see some gameplay videos to and also some franchise information. But honestly I will be happy with injuries and errors this year. I wasnt as dissapointed in last years game as everyone was post the 2nd patch. Im in the minority though on that thought but I see what you mean.

Well, considering today is Thursday, they may release another developer diary. They kind of hinted in their last article that it may be about franchise. I know alot of OSers (including myself) are dieing to see what they have done with franchise. I'm just going to take the "don't expect much" approach and hope for the best. I really want this company to succeed so we can have 2 quality baseball games.

Have you not been following the information coming out about this game the past couple years? They are doing a much better job this year, its only Feb. 10th, you will get information in time.

Contrary to popular belief, quite a few people liked MLB 2K10, and the ratings weren't all that bad. The average seemed to be about a 7.5 out of 10, which is actually pretty good.

Kotaku even gave it the award for "Comeback Sports Game of the Year", so the developers are definitely on the right track. This year will be Visual Concepts third year with MLB 2K (well, technically their second complete year) and every year they've made good progress with the series, especially last year. 2K10 was very close to being a great game. All signs point to 2K11 being even better.

We all know that the marketing for this series could definitely be improved, but as long as the game is good I can live with the poor marketing.

I understand that 2k10 was not a bad game, but it was far from good. There were numerous amount of things that were broken in the game. I understand that it would be inevitable for VC to take a train wreck and make it better in one year.

I have been following the info for this year, and honestly its started great, but then we heard the EXACT same thing in every major publishing, nothing about all the OTHER problems that were wrong with the game.

I understand its Feb. 10th but that is less then a month before the game came out and honestly they havent said squat about if the numerous amount of sub par problems of the game has been fixed. no Q & A's develop blogs, like NBA 2k11, the community relations to MLB 2k11 have been horrid.

It really wasn't "far from good". Yes, it had some issues, but just add in injuries and fielding errors and it would easily be an 8 out of 10. Obviously not perfect, but still pretty good.
