Soriano and Beltre have custom ones, and Jorge Cantu is signature(It looks similar to a generic one though).

That stinks a ton man...thanks. 2K has now become "that" preverbial ex girlfriend I finally say goodbye to. Oh well, its not even about the batting stances, its way more than than that. This issue was presented EARLY last year and the response from ronnie and 2K was amazing. Have fun with the game fellas!

What about the PS3 do you have any advice.

I don't think you can game and listen to music at the same time on a PS3. I could be wrong though.

Can you bat from the pitchers view?

I could have swore Beltre always had a sig stance in these 2k games... Weird of them to take it out. You can give players a different stance though, so maybe there's one that looks similar to Beltre's real life one. 2k does this, I'm pretty sure they use the communities list of batting stance edits. I saw Kendry Morales using Carlos Delgado's stance.

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

It has been a long time since I have played a MLB 2K game but I figure I will try it again.

I am wondering, what is this MLB Today? are those games vs other players online?

It's playing the same games that are on the real-life schedule for that day. Same pitchers, ect. The commentary is adjusted for recent events and things like that. I believe it's only against the CPU.

Thats the thing though, they took delgado's and garciaparras stance out last year but added them in this year due to them probably still being in the data base. This means that just pure...well, this is "supposed" to be a positive thread so I wont darken it already more than it is. Lets just say the cut goes deeper than the skin when it comes to this company. I am sure I would still have plenty of fun playing play now and mlb today features but according to some of the impressions, the franchise has some issues in it. I mean...if they make a better patch to fix these issues I would pick it up but I didnt but madden this year for a lot less reason than this, and I LOVE football brother.

I'm liking that 2k9 fielding cam with zoom at 1 and height at 10. Reminds me of that high fielding cam from 2k8.

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

Do the out of town scoreboards around the stadiums work or are they stuck with the same scores and teams all of the time?

Thanks!

Same here. Question HK, have you been able to enable Inside Edge for MLB Today or Play Ball games? I have it enabled but I'm not getting any data in the strike zone area like in the demo?

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

Pla five innings today. Three extra base hits, but no homers. I like this pitcher's duel style. I'm the A's and I am really wearing out CJ Wilson. One thing I like this year is how easy it is to see pitches coming in.

I never use inside edge but, I'll enable it and see what happens...

I think it defaults to first pitch only in the retail game. It also eliminates it if you activate hurry up baseball. For now, I've turned off, since it is basically a strike zone that I had already turned off.

For now, catcher's suggestions have been pretty smart about attacking the blue zones. So I've taken to pitch to that instead of spamming the weak spots. If I continue to give up a ton of runs, I may go back to IE in order to pitch more intelligently.

But pitching to the suggestions is something I've done in order to generate more balls in the past. It worked great in 2K8, and 2K10. the suggestions were too FUBAR to do this in 2K9. Basically, I force myself to throw the pitch type, and aim to somewhere in the box.

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

A few questions, thanks in advance for any answers:

1. Is there a simple, one button press throw option for fielding, or do you always have to use the meter?
2. Are there any classic stadiums in the game?
3. Is there a playoff mode, so you could play through the playoffs without going through a season?
4. Can you get through a single game relatively quickly, and bypass all the cut scenes and other junk that tend to prolong a game?
5. How deep do the minor leagues go and can you edit players who need editing?
