Hey Jerz, looks like you're having a blast playing 2k.

questions:

How does Petco Park look this year? Does the Padres have their new camo? How does Mat Latos look? Is Kyle Blanks in the game? Thanks!

Not to be a jerk but you can literally find all of these on your own without asking him

I haven't seen any shots of Padres in 2k, if there's a screenshot of Padres wearing the new camo, please let me know.

Can someone provide more specifics on commentating? I am wondering if all commentating is around year one or will you hear any comments about last years champs and records to be broken in year 2 and 3.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure i read the digital camo unis are in.

A simple question from me: does bernie brewer slide down the slide at mler park after a brewers hr?

If that's the case, that's awesome! I wish they released some Padres screenshots though.

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

If you get a chance to run a franchise for a few years, I'm very curious about free agency, specifically:

1. Are there any good free agents that become available?
2. Are salaries realistic? In 2K10, superstar free agents would re-sign with their clubs for really, really ridiculously low salaries.
3. Do the coaches and staff you hire seem to have any effect on the team's performance and player development?

No camos. Sorry man.

I don't know what Latos looks like. Blanks is in the game.

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

Every year the Cubs play 6 inter-league games with the White Sox: 3 at home, 3 away. Pretty much the same for every team. But, after the first season is up, they are never scheduled to play those games, or they only play one of the series. Did they fix that this season?

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?

No dynamic crowd in franchise. That's a bummer for me.

No clue. That would require me going into the another year in franchise and I haven't done that.

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

Is eric wedge in the game as the mariners manager and does justin smoak have a photo?

Re: Official MLB 2K11 - Q&A Thread

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.

Didn't look. Sorry.

No dynamic crowds. Always a full house at every park.

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

Black with purple sleeve.

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?

Always full. See above answer on dynamic crowds.
No. No warm up swings. Yes you can check swing.

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?

Sorry man didn't get into all of that.

Only got into the first year. Commentary is just as good as it was last year. They've mentioned about the Giants repeating though.
