Re: MLB 2K11 Official "My Player" Thread

Does anyone know if call-up goals are the same per position for any team, or are they variable?

In my career, I'm a starting pitcher, 65 OVR rated, spending the first year at AA in the Mariner's organization. During spring training 2012, I was blowing through opponent's lineups, not walking anyone, striking out 6 per start, with an ERA under 2. But to start the regular season, I was sent back to AA.

I understand about the call-up goals, but it seems odd that a call-up goal system would trump a dominating spring.

Call up goals are basically all that matter. From what I've seen anyway.

I started a my player as a 1B/RF in the Mariners organization (randomly selected). I'm still in AA with the Jackson Generals, but our team is tearing it up. We're up 11 games on the 2nd place team in our division. Here are my stats through 23 games:

.315 AVG (29-92)
.366 OBP
.457 SLG
.823 OPS
1 HR
10 RBI
7 RUNS
6 DOUBLES
2 TRIPLES
7 WALKS
22 STRIKEOUTS
5 STOLEN BASES

I'm getting close to finishing all my goals, but I hope they keep me in AA because we should probably easily win the Southern League crown.

Still in the 2011 season, its 1st week of September. I have 11 major home runs, and just had a 23 game hit streak come to an end.

Last night, I started out with a Homer over the Monster and a Homer on the batters eye. So thats 7 runs by the 7th. So what happens to the pen? They allow 10 runs in an inning.


Do I have to hit 3 home runs just to win a game now?

Sad thing is, Boston got Pujols and they STILL suck.

Re: MLB 2K11 Official "My Player" Thread

Hey everyone. Long time luker, first time poster. I made two MPs over spring break (back on campus until May.) and I love this mode. The last 2K game I played was MLB 2K9 and that was a mess. It turned me off from buying 2K10, but I wanted to give this year's edition a chance.

My first MP started out in a LF/C in the Nationals organization. I spent 5 years tolling in the minors, until I switched positions to a 1B/C. I was disappointed because I wanted to be a contact hitter with speed, but ended up being a great defensive, power hitting 1st basemen.

One of the disappointing things I've noticed is that your organization doesn't allow you to test out the free agent market. I'd get re-signed by the Nats when my contract was up.

My 2nd MP is a CL/SU for the Pirates. I'm not sure if I should stick with them or not, since I'm not sure I can attract people to play with as a CL. Pitching was very difficult at first, but after I changed my delivery, and got the timing down with my pitches, I've been having a blast getting guys to pop up or strikeout. Haven't tried out franchise mode yet.

Are there no cutscenes in MyPlayer? I've noticed I'm not seeing close-ups of opposing hitters between pitches or stepping up to the plate.

Re: MLB 2K11 Official "My Player" Thread

I got the game in from Amazon today and started a couple of these up, one as a SP and the other as a 1B. Man I SUCK at this game.

Just picked up MLB 2k11 today @ EB games. Traded in 3 games and got it for free. Actually I still have a $13 on top of that.

Anywhore....


Just created my player for 2011 version. Center fielder for the Twins. 6'2 215lbs. Bats left, throws right. Will post update once I get the call to the majors.

Good choice on purchasing MLB 2k11. MLB 11 The show is a bit to realistic for the casual gamer. Now, when playing the My Player mode, I suggest to play out your entire AA season while balancing your attributes. Finish all your Call Up Goals EXCEPT for one. You do not want to be called up to the Major Leagues during mid season and play half a season with astonishing numbers and not be eligible for the Rookie Of The Year award. So, I personally suggest that you play out the double AA season. You will then get invited to Spring Training. There you will need to have the BEST overall ranking of the center field position in your organization to start your second season in the Major Leagues. Good luck my man.

Thanks But this isn't my first baseball game. I'm just stuck with 2k11 since we have an 360 at the moment.

Restarted my player with the Braves organization. Molding my player after what Beltran should have been. After the first month @ AA I'm batting .425 with 10 steals, 10 rbi and 0 home runs

Re: MLB 2K11 Official "My Player" Thread

Haven't posted on this thread in a while even though I've been playing My Player mode for a non stop week. I am currently on a 85 or something HIT STREAK (LOL) with 81 homers and 222 RBI's in my 2nd year (First FULL year) and my overall is currently at 91.

I am only missing like 5 more goals and I can be called a Hall Of Famer.

Re: MLB 2K11 Official "My Player" Thread

Wow. 81 game hit streak eh? Maybe it's time to increase the difficulty?


As for my player I'm heading into AA all-star week. Batting .434 with 1 homerun, 12 rbi and 13 stolen bases. My singles are turning into doubles slowly but surely.

Re: MLB 2K11 Official "My Player" Thread

Hey guys, new around here and new to the game, just bought it 2 days ago. I haven't played a baseball game in probably about 10 years and am loving this game a ton. I went straight for "My Player" and made a starting pitcher and got a random "draft" to the Yanks so that's sweet.

Anyways, was hoping someone could lend some advice on basic gameplan/strategy for SP's? Basically what I'm planning is to play out the whole AA season and up Stam/Composure to 90+ along with the "vs Righties" stat to mid 80s. I'll hold off on vs. Lefties and leave it at 59 (so I don't get called up). Other than that the game plan is to get a couple pitches into the mid 80s overall rating (fastball & slider) and then to pool as many points as possible for dumping them into "vs Lefties" prior to being called up.

Does this sound like a solid strategy? Any advice would be greatly appreciated (seen a few strategy posts for hitters but not too much in the way of pitchers).

Also: is there a priority to the stat thoughts I've laid out above? (ie, def dump all points into stamina first before anything else?).

Thanks,

Matt

Re: MLB 2K11 Official "My Player" Thread

Can someone answer how people are playing with starting pitchers? Doesn't the game make you start every game? Or does that stop once you reach the majors or something?

I'm confused since I hear some people say they are playing with a starting pitcher.

Re: MLB 2K11 Official "My Player" Thread

Sorry if this has been touched on before.

Does anyone know how to cover 1st as a pitcher in this game? When there's a grounder to 1st, my pitcher won't/can't move to cover 1st, and the runner will end up being safe. I can move freely on any other play, just not on grounders to first. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
