    Re: MLB 2K11 - "The Little Things"

    Im absolutely in love with this game!!

    Yanks VS tigers:

    An 9 pitch at bat vs miguel cabrera that ended in a Walk, when cabrera was at first base, comentators started talking about cabrera's numbers from last year and when the camera panned out to him he ws talking to the first base coach and making gestures with his hands, as if he was talking about his swing. Great stuff.

    This was my first all star difficulty game, and the game was 6 to 3 top of the 9th, i bring in mariano to pitch, first batter out. The the tigers got hit after hit after hit, and tied the game.

    Bottom of the 9th and a-rod comes to the plate, as arod was walking to the plate comentators started talkgin about how it was time to change the pitcher. First pitch was a ball, 2nd pitch foul, 3rd pitch ball, the cpu called time out and started warming up another pitcher, next pitch i waited, strike two, i was two and two and i was so freakinf nervous, next pitch he painted the corners but it was a ball!!.

    3 and 2 i knew this was the one. Pitcher starts the windup, batters eye says fastball, i knew i had to swing, arod hits a Walkoff homer to center field, i was jumping like a little kid!!!


    Yanks vs Orioles

    Pitching as freddy garcia vs vlad, 2 strikes no balls, and it seems that vlad entered into defensive mode, anything i threw at him near the strike zone was fouled and anything outside he let it pass for a ball. 3 and 2 and he kept fouling everything i pitched near the strike zone,after 14 or so pitches in this at bat, i said meh what the hell and pitched a fastball outside, vlad hit a home run, but i loved that at bat, and how hard it was for me.

    Thats it, i really love this game, if the patch can fix fatigue and injuries, this game will definitely be my baseball game of the year.

      I hit a grand slam with Casey McGhee against a bad Tigers pitcher. The next pitch he threw he was uttering something as he was throwing the pitch. Hilarious and totally awesome.

        I swung at a bad pitch out of the zone and struck out, then the player, Domonic Brown, turns and looks straight at me like what the hell are you doing! I felt so bad that all I could do was say I'm sorry.

          Another nice looking animation I saw...

          I hit a line shot up the middle against a right handed pitcher... The pitcher's follow through made it so his back was nearly facing the plate, and he made a stab at the ball trying to catch it behind his back... Pretty cool...

          Now if he actually makes that play... If that animation is in the game...

          Time will tell I guess.
          All ties severed...

            Okay on a play at home , Torii Hunter is rounding third , the third base coach is telling me to stop but I am going anyway to tie the game ( this was from the replay showing whole the play with the third base coach of course telling me to stop ,I really didnt see him ) , the throw to the plate beats me there by just a step I run into the catcher and knock the ball loose , I am safe , very nice realistic addition to this years game. Dang that was exciting stuff no matter if I was out or safe !!!!

                I had to change from behind the catcher to hit to behind the pitcher because i couldn't see. Ruined the end of a great game for me. I don't like hitting from that POV.

                  Love the game after 6 years with the Show! Some cool little things I've noticed:

                  -How the batter cringes when they hit a screamer foul
                  -Having a chance to catch foul balls over the railings in the dugouts
                  -The "gophers eye" camera when the batter is digging in, really adds to the drama of the at bat!
                  -Infielders will try to "deke" runners on line drives over their head

                    The little things are nice, but I cant believe after playing this title for the last 4 years they have NOT made the hit batter logic any better. Actually, its non existent. You can drill as many batters as you want and nothing happens. There should be an ump warning or the ability to charge the mound.... Something.... This isnt a "little thing". Hit batters are a BIG part of the game.

                      Re: MLB 2K11 - "The Little Things"

                      Okay two things tonight, first I hit a screaming line drive back up the middle for a single but as the ball was going by the pitcher he actually made a wave at the ball with his mitt like he was trying to make the catch. Secondly in the same game Bobby Abreu of my Angels batting hit a line shot into the gap into left field thinking I am getting a double out of this but Noooooooooo out of no where comes Nelson Cruz of the Rangers running towards the ball full speed , lays flat out and catches the ball ( awesome play btw ) then while layed out with the ball in his glove shows the ball to the ump that he had made the catch, very cool even if it was against me, I lost 6-4 and the series 3-0 yikes I hate the Rangers !!!!
                      One other comment Michael Young was coming to bat for the first time in this game and Gary Thorne mentioned that he had hit a lead off homer the game before which he did cause I hit it, that was really amazing, the commentary is so awesome in this game !!!

                        A few little things I really love:

                        -- The ball being difficult to see in hard shadows at Wrigley (I assume this is probably present at other stadiums)
                        -- A pitcher gets on base and is then next seen wearing a jacket.
                        -- Career milestones being acknowledged when they happen.
                        -- The funny bounce a ball does when it is grounded to the pitcher's mound and hits off it.

                          Exactly, it can easily ruin a good game and that's not fun!

                            3rd inning Mets(me) vs marlins. I hit a fastball and my bat literally exploded. Part of the bat got stuck in the ground near the SS. The ball rolled toward SS and as he tried to makes the play to first he tripped over the bat that was stuck in the ground! I couldnt believe it!! This game truly amazes me sometimes.

                              I love the extra loud snap when the catcher receives a 100+ mph fastball.
