That's so weird. Hopefully that's just temporary. I'd really like to check out the tennis too!

No option here either, so I just added it to my que from the first post, then went to my 360 and finished it off.

[humaca80]

How do you add to que with no option?

The no download option was happening to me , but just cleared up and I have the option now and am downloading.

I had the same problem. Just do it through xbox's website like others have said. However, when you go to your active downloads on your xbox it might say "assigned to other console." Just click on it and click download now and it should start.

Re: MLB 2K11 Demo is NOW AVAILABLE! (360)

Whenever someone gets to play it could you comment on whether we can change difficulty levels, sliders or cameras? I'm hoping they have commentary in the demo too.

Nothing can be changed

Well... didn't like it. I own both the PS3 and Xbox360 so it's only natural to compare this demo to the competition. The most glaring problem that consistently happened when I played the MLB 2K11 demo is a drop in framerate when a ball is put in play. You can call it a hiccup, drop in framerate or whatever, but it is a huge distraction. The animations didn't seem all that smooth to me. I still see this kind of snap animation too many times. And just simple things like the ballpark clock again not working is a huge disappointment.

On the plus side, I really enjoyed the new fielding meter and the new camera angle when putting a ball into play.

However, to release a demo with such a glaring issue as a drop in framerate when putting a ball in play is a game killer for me. I will not be buying this game because of it.

The competition gets my buy.

You have to go to xbox.com, sign in,then marketplace, go to search, type in mlb 2k11 & you should get an option to add demo to your download queue

No commentary and no options to change anything.

Graphics are smoother then last year and so is the colors saturation

Fielding is smoother but there is a big of a frame rate issue when ball is in play

Pitching is just as good. Batting camera is ok, dont like the pitcher being so far out

Man is the pitching so great in this game. The slider and curve ball from Timmy is down right nasty. Has great movement.

This feels like pitching

I'm not worried about the framerate issue. It hasn't been mentioned in any early reviews so I'm guessing (hoping) it's just an issue with the demo.

I have both this and Top Spin 4 downloaded and can't wait to play either tonight.

The issue is the hitting. It is just not nice when you see replays and not as smooth as the other game. but pitching is masterful

It's always good to have a positive outlook, but with the 2K's past history in this series, for anyone to not worry about the framerate issue may be kidding themselves. Oh...it's a problem!

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

The framerate is not a deal breaker. It is slight and no biggie

What is really annoying is that you cannot take practice cuts after a pitch and I have already seen 4 of those soft liners right at the first baseman and ss

I thought I read those were removed or lowered. I hate that

I like that after every pitch the game does not fast foward to the next pitch instead of letting the batter adjust and things of that nature. That is now fixed

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

Well the batter stepping out after a pitch or taking a practice cut is only for human hitting. The cpu hitters go right back to their batting stance which is wack and takes away from the presentation

Hitting feels smooth but not where it should be. I hate the throws when fielding. It feels like there is no weight to the ball or players, they just kind of float out there and on one occasion, I bunted with Timmy to move the runner from first to second and the bunt went in front of the mound and the pitcher (Wilson) grabbed it and threw a rocket to first to get me out but if felt like he threw a plastic wiffle ball. There is just no weight to throwing as a fielder

I hit a walk off homer with Torres to win the game and the players mob you at home plate which is nice

A good improvement in some rough spots from last year but still not where I wish it was
