Nice, the accessory pack is amazing! The on-field display mod is cool. I wonder if he could make another version that still showed the ball cursor while pitching. I like the rest of it though.

I'm starting to really like this game with my eyefinity setup. I finally like the camera settings I'm using.

Great setup!

Thanks! The picture actually doesn't do it justice. When your sitting in front of it, it's awesome. The resolution is set at 5988x1080 and the screens measure 64 inches across. The fielding view has to be set on the 2k9 setting so you can actually field the ball. The only thing that doesn't quite look right is the cut scenes at times.....the batter walking up to the plate when showed up close is chopped and you don't see his face, but overall it's a blast!

Re: PC 2K11

Hi guys, I'm new to PC gaming, but I liked what I read about MLB2K on the PC so picked it up today wanting to give it a try.

I installed everything fine, and the pre-game menus worked as they should, smooth and no problems. But when I go into the actual game, I can't see the players or the field. All I see is the scoreline overlay at the top of the screen, and the rest of the screen is black. The audio works fine, and if I press buttons on the controller, it's like I'm playing the game, I just can't see anything.

I assume I have to adjust my visual settings, whether it be in the game or on my computer itself. The problem is I have no idea what to change to make the game work. I don't know if my computer just blows and I can't play the game or if it's something I can change.

Can anybody recommend some settings I should change? I know it's hard to know without knowing the settings on my system, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

What are your system specs? (CPU, RAM, Video card)

*Does your video card support Shader Model 3.0, which is required by the game?

Your integrated video card is the problem. Believe it only supports Shader Model 2.0 Need to upgrade the video card to one that supports Shader 3.0

Re: PC 2K11

Great. Any recommendation on what I should upgrade to?

Re: PC 2K11

Just depends on the slot-type(PCI, PCI-E, AGP) on your motherboard, how much you want to spend, and wattage of your power supply. Decent cards are reasonable prices these days.

There was some good video card discussion earlier in this thread. Use the "Search Thread" function and search this thread for "video card". Will bring up all post in this thread with the words "video card".
