"The dugout reactions, fielding animations, swings and leaving the batter’s box have all been reshot to add another level of realism to the gameplay experience. For example if Shane Victorino legs out an infield single, he might pump his fist as he heads back to first base, or if CC Sabathia loads the bases he might head back to the mound while shouting expletives into his mitt. If you see it in real-life, you can expect to see it in 2K11.
The team has also added in new types of hits and fielding tendencies based on bat contact and player rating. So if Ichiro chops a ball into the dirt down the third base line, it will not just be a simple ground ball, it may be a chopper or dribbler. Likewise, if David Wright is fielding the ball, he may cleanly barehand it and fire to first whereas Pablo Sandoval might double-clutch and not make the play. Ratings have truly been stressed in this year’s game.
Other features in 2K11 will be an improvement of MLB Today, which will update rosters daily and will allow players to play that night’s games. Also MLB Today will use the player dynamic system mentioned in Franchise Mode to track players’ real trends over the past 30 days and adjust ratings accordingly. The commentary has also been beefed up bigtime, with unique commentary for almost any possible scenario you can think of. The team at 2K said that MLB Today will be so immersive and accurate that it can in theory replace SportsCenter, MLB Network and Baseball Tonight on a daily basis." |
