Re: MLB 2K11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS3/360)

Played my first 4 games last night on my 360. I have never had so much just.... fun playing a baseball game. Everything felt natural to me and everything stayed fresh and fun. Yeah, there are gripes and areas where there isn't polish. But I just had fun and wanted to keep going and going. I don't know why, but the game just really clicks with me. I don't know if I'm too casual or what and I don't really care. What I do know is that I like the game a lot and am picking up on day 1.

Quick questions: Can I see (at least in the full version) a history of the pitches per at bat? I like how in that "other" game I can see how many pitches and where they all hit for the at bat. Also does this game have different options for base running? Any auto base running options?

One funny thing I noticed last night (PS3, BTW): Torrealba (sp?) is batting. He's got both batting gloves on.....and another sticking out of his back pocket!

Was like that last year for many players.

Possibly his running gloves in his back pocket.

What's so funny about that? It was in last years game and some guys do that with there running gloves so they don't get there batting gloves dirty.

Sorry, I don't see the humor it that.

This would be a good feature to have. But I don't think it's in there. At least I've never read anything about it being in there.

I highly doubt that. Even 2K basketball changes to custom, I have no issue with that because you are making a custom difficulty.

But yea on hard default in the 360 controller the fielding is much harder, the fielders move to damm slow which slows down fielders and easy grounders get through

Sliders should help

Actually, NBA 2K does not change to custom when you change the sliders. The difficulty is in the main game options not under the slider sets. So I can have Superstar difficulty for example and still change the sliders.

Personally, I like each slider having an absolute value. It's much more complicated to discuss and share slider information when it is related to the game difficulty.

After reading 77 million pages on what everyone had to say...I really don't see what some of you ps3 users are saying...The game looks good on ps3..maybe it's because of the other games that are out there that might look better but 2k11 is still A LOT better than anything they have put out there in the past when it comes to how the game looks...Also I love how the game plays and it's just the demo try to remember that we will have the full version in under a week then we can say how good or bad the game really is.

I thought the game was really fun, and this is coming from someone who hasn't played the MLB2K franchise ever. I was also on PS3 and thought the graphics were lovely.

My only negative for this game is the hitting camera. I couldn't tell where the ball was landing, so I wasn't sure to go for two or three bases.

Other than that, its great.

Most of us already know this, but it bears repeating since some people don't seem to realize it:

Ronnie2K: For clarity: the demos, while many of you have enjoyed them, are never the final build. There are always tweaks being made.

@rudyjuly2 I see you're talking on OS. Tell them the demo builds for both Top Spin and MLB are pretty early, even though ppl enjoy it

Is there more than one fielding camera angle (camera after the ball is hit)

Not in the demo.

Nice to see a double play being broken up on a dropped ball from the fist baseman. The CPU ended up scoring a run because of this.

The fielding is growing on me after 10 plus games.

The players need to run past 1st base on an out. I don't like how they stop half way.
