MLB 2K11 Game Features (360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PSP, DS, PC)

Re: MLB 2k11 Features List

I like that if a player is hot he will be hot in the franchise season. To me that is really cool.

I actually agree. I think its a different perspective on the playability of franchise mode. Lets face it, two things people often "complain" about in regards to franchise mode:

a) players aren't playing "realistically"
b) progression/regression isn't working properly

Well, now you have, at least seemingly, both of those issues resolved.

Agreed. I've always wanted a "living" franchise, that builds on the "living" rosters that 2K added last year. It would also be nice if real life trades and roster moves showed up in franchise too. Not sure if they worked that part in, but either way I'm definitely looking forward to this

I like how they mention all new fielding. If they fix the fielding then this game could be very good.

Me too. 2K10 was so close to being very good. Sounds like they're focusing on the right areas.

I don't know I like this idea and it will make for some fun games in franchise when you play a hot player. Especially if you watch the real game. Then you go play your season and he is ripping up your video game team too. Plus rookies would really have some major impacts. That would have been cool for me with Posey and hopefully with Brandon Belt this year.

That would be cool about the trade and injuries too. I hope it is like that some day.

Re: MLB 2k11 Features List

Well I'm certainly glad their attention is strictly focused on improving the game they have set in stone. No gimmicky modes, no heavy online attention, and hopefully nothing to hiccup the framerate or make this game melt in our console. This is the MLB 2K10 that should have been... let's hope.

Completely agree. The only thing that scares me a bit is the mention of painting of the corners with pinpoint pitching, but other than that I really like this list for the reasons you mentioned. I'm looking forward to some gameplay vids and the demo.

Re: MLB 2k11 Features List

On the dynamic update....it's gotta be an option....and if it is an option it is very cool.
Think about it....if you weren't hooked up to the internet ....your players would have to progress/regress in the offline mode.
As for the update part....it's kind of like recreating a season....except in real time. Pretty cool.

Hope I'm not trolling here......
It did make me smile though(chuckle actually)...so thanks!

I like the revamped fielding and I really like the dynamic player ratings. I've been waiting for a game to finally let you update player ratings AFTER you start a dynasty/franchise. Many games constantly update player rosters but what good is it for the offline guy that's already started a franchise? This finally solves that problem.

I agree with this 100%. I can't wait until dynamic rosters/ratings are in all sports games.

Yeah I would think that if you were not hooked up to the Internet there would be some solution for them. But I am hooked up to the Internet. So I like this idea a lot.

Yep, it's gotta be an option.

I just hope they give us the option to turn it off for those who wish not to partake in the dynamic roster in their franchise.

EDIT: Agreed with the posts above me.

Well what I'm really hoping for is that they worked on the progression, and didn't just add this as a "fix." I have very little doubt it's an option, I'm just hoping they improved the progression in a normal franchise not using this feature. Becuase I don't have any desire to use this, because of personal preference. It's still fairly early (for 2k at least), so I'm not really worried. I do hope we get some info about the regular progression before release.

That was my exact same concern. Hoping it was not a "band aide".

I just hope this works better than NBA Live's Dynamic DNA, but yeah, I am excited about the features listed. It would be cool to play a game a day and keep up with the real MLB season and see player ratings/performances change based on real world data.

Ubaldo looks good in that pic and I like the camera angle, too.

Sure...I understand.
There are guys who like to do their franchise/seasons exact as the MLB plays out and this would be a dream for that.
I wonder...would it update custom rosters?...I guess if they are tagging individual players(for the update to look for) rather than the roster as a whole it would...but I wonder.
At any rate....this is a nice little feature as an option.

I'm guessing they wouldn't update for anything other than the official 2K roster, but I could be wrong. To me it sounds like it'll be an option, like play 1 season with dynamic rosters with the option of it becoming a full fledged franchise file in year 2. Or the other option of just starting a franchise from year 1 and having progression play out at it's own rate, without dynamic anything.
