DJ32, thanks for answering all the questions and for the impressions. When you did the simulation, did you check to see if players drafted in the amateur draft were placed on the major league roster? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys I'm done for the night. I'll be back tomorrow with more answers. Sorry if I didn't get to your questions, it's been hard to stop playing the game. It's been a really fun experience so far.

Here's to day 2

Thanks bud.

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

I know you're done for the night so hopefully you can answer this tomorrow or maybe someone else who gets the game "shrug"

Anyways it's not all that important a question but in franchise mode is there dynamic crowds/fluctuations in attendance?

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

Just saw the impressions thread, I'll withdraw my question.

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

I'll answer this one and only uni question

Home/Away/Red alt home/ blue alt away/BP/72 home/72 road

I know you said this would be the only question of this type you're answering and I understand if you you will stick to that, but it would mean a bunch to me if you could allow just 1 more pleeaasse:

The Colorado Rockies black alternate. Is it the correct black vest/black sleeve or the made up black vest/purple sleeve version that has been in for the past 4 years

Bro, is the eagle-eye, over-aggressive batter AI still in the game? I hated that in the demo because 80% of the time the CPU would swing at something in the strikezone, but they would lay off all the very close corner pitches that are called Ball.

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

Hey, if you have time to answer these questions, cool. They seem to be the most talked about things in the 2K forum.

1) Are there ejections? (This may be important for online games). If you bean several consecutive batters, does the game care?
2) Pick Off Glitch - Is it present in your copy? Granted, if it is, it still MAY be fixed via patch, but curious about this one. (To replicate in the demo, intentionally walk a batter and keep throwing over to 1st when the CPU runner has a very tiny lead. He'll get trapped in an invisible wall and picked off).
3) HR Glitch - I never saw this in the demo but several people have. You come across it (granted, this fix could also be part of the day 1 patch).
4) Player Shadows - are they still as jaggy (blocky) looking in the retail, or is there Anti-Aliasing (AA) to smooth some of the roughness out?
5) Frame Rate - In the demo, a lot of times after making contact while hitting, the game would often chug for a few moments. This happened specially during foul balls and pop ups. Is it as bad (or reduced), or not present at all?
6) Season sim results... Did you get the League Leaders for AVG, HR, and ERA? Did they seem appropriate or too high / low?
7) My Player - Have you noted any differences? If you've made a fielder, what view does it use during plays? Is it almost like 1st person (like last year) or the traditional fielding view.
8) Single A Teams? A developer said there was but he may have misspoke. That'd be a pretty noteworthy addition so my hopes aren't up, but can you confirm / deny?

Anyway if you have the time to answer any of those, I'd appreciate it. I'm getting the game Monday @ midnight regardless, but these ?'s are what I'm most curious about.

An addition? Didn't this series already have Single A teams?

I was gonna say the same thing. I'm pretty positive it was in 2k10.

Yes, Single A teams were in 2K10. The games were not playable though. Only the AA/AAA games were playable.

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

Really? I only remember AA and AAA last year. Maybe I'm confused. Seems like in My Player they started you in AA. If single A ball was there, my mistake.

edit: RGmoney -- that would explain it.

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

Thanks for answering my questions, and everyone's here! Too bad about the classic players and Sox jerseys. Hopefully the jersey fix will be in the first patch tomorrow.

A couple of other questions I thought about:

1) Does the stadium always look full, or does it affect real life attendance? I don't want to see 50,000 people at the Rogers Centre on a Monday night (well, in real life I do, but if it's in the game, that's not accruate). Basically, are there empty seats?

2) Can you do a warm-up swing and check swings?

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

How was the free agent class? In previous versions there were never any free agents rated above about a 75.... were there some good players out there?

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

Any answers yet on whether or not you can use a created team in franchise mode?
