2k11 on PS3 - Graphics are really nice

[Flaxseed Oil]

I own MLB 2K11 on XBox 360, but I recently picked up a 2nd TV and a 2nd PS3 for my bedroom...so I wanted to pick up some games to keep up there with it. On Craigslist, I picked up 2k11 for PS3 and was blown away by how much better it looks and plays than the 360 version:

Improvements

• Did not seem to be as much 2d crowd. I have played in 9 or 10 stadiums so far and really, it is nowhere near as noticeable as it is on the 360 version.
• The shadows seem much more crisp in the ps3 version, and not as cracky as the 360 version.

I have NO idea if this was already in the game or what the commentary logic was about, but since Prince Fielder joined the tigers yesterday, I moved him to Detroit on my rosters. I then played a game of Tigers vs Nationals in Detroit, and the announcers were talking about how Prince got a standing ovation in his last game as a Brewer, because the fans new he was leaving.


I was like wtf? I didn't think that had happened in 2010, but it may have, or it may just be genius commentary programming. Either way, it was fun.

I think you are the only person I have ever heard say that a PS3 version of MLB 2K11 has looked better then the 360

Neither looks very good but the ps3 version looks like it was made by a 5 year old

Thank you. It's nice to hear someone tell it like it is instead of trying to convince themselves that "2k11 really, really looks good! No, really, it does!''

Said it before, I'll say it again: The developers should be embarrassed for their failure to improve upon this product since 2k6. That's just astounding.

I bought 2K11 for PS3 and I did not like the graphics...Ive only seen 360 and PC footage on youtube so I cant say whether its much better or not but from those vids the graphics look smooth...there are too many jaggies on PS3, imo

You can make that 2 people now lol....I've got Mlb 2k for the ps3 every year for 3 years now...I just got my xbox 360 a few months back so this will be the first year I get it for the 360.

Re: 2k11 on PS3 - Graphics are really nice

I have 2k11 on xbox so cant really comment on the PS3 version but if you have a PS3 and dont have the other game instead of MLB 2k11 then that is truly negligent.

Re: 2k11 on PS3 - Graphics are really nice

I have both games for PS3. I also have 2k11 for both systems. Honestly, I like the PS3 version better than the 360 version graphically. The only problem with the PS3 version of 2k11 is that there are a lot more stat bugs that I havent noticed on the 360 version.

Also, my PS3 is hooked up to a different TV than my 360. I play 2k11 on ps3 in 1080P, while I play it on 360 in 720P, so that could account for the difference. The main difference, though, isn't a graphic thing..the crowds are simply much better in the PS3 version. Probably due to disk space.

Cool story, this really needed it's own thread?

You're right, I should have saved space for all of those MLB 2K12 topics that keep popping up.

I'm sorry, it just sounded like the OP was trying to brag about his "equipment" first, then goes on a rant about 2k11 graphics on PS3.

I see what you did there with your use of the word "rant." My ex-wife used to "stop arguing" with me in the same way.

Well that sounds very interesting and all, so thanks for your input. I'm glad you agree with the OP.
