MLB 2K11 Preview: Franchise Mode, My Player and More... (Destructoid)

03:17 PM - February 16, 2011 by boomhauertjs

Destructoid has just posted their second MLB 2K11 preview. This one detailing Franchise Mode, My Player and more.

	"I brought up 2K10�s messed-up manager AI for pitchers, and Bailey freely acknowledged that it was awful; he told me I was being too nice about a system where a manager left my starter in for twelve innings. But 2K11 doesn�t go by pitcher stamina or energy, concepts that are �too videogamey,� according to Bailey. �If it says �52 energy,� what does that mean to me? Can I pitch three more innings? One more inning?� Instead, in-game managers will focus on your pitch count, just like real MLB coaches. On the pause screen, you�ll see your current and expected pitch count, and when you reach the upper limits of the expected range for the day, you�ll probably get pulled."

The more I read about 2K11, the more it sounds like a contender for The Show... should be interesting to see how the 2 compare..

VC is taking a very confident tone with MLB this year, more so than 2K9 and 2K10. It tells me the team actually has a product to be proud of (and to brag about).

Sorry, guys -- I thought I made it pretty clear in the article, but the camera changes I'm talking about concern the viewing angle after the bat hits the ball, not the view in the batter's box.

Great job so far with the previews so far Samit. Quick question. How fluid did the game look during your time with the game? How was the Frame rate? Also how was the game.speed animation wise. Thanks

That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up, man.

Better than the first time I saw it a few weeks ago. A lot of the herky-jerky animations are gone, since there's better blending. Frame rate is fine; no issues there.
