And if they are considering it for the PS3, they deserve to have a rundown of the issues found on the PS3. There doesn't seem to be a very efficient separation of who is playing what in this impressions thread.

I have not seen anything wrong with the ps3 version cause well that's what I have and the demo looks great and it's playing great...to me just from the demo everything about this demo is better than the full version of last years game...But yeah it would be great if we had a topic just for the ps3 users.

I think the PS3 version looks and runs ok enough...2k7, 2k10 and now 2k11 (demo) all look decent enough on Ps3. But I know from years past (IMO) 360 always looked much much better.

You and I are in total agreement here. The game is just fun. 2K has always had that about them, they resort to the video game aspect of the game itself rather than the sport of it. This is completely fine with me. Though sometimes there are things that get in the way that make me say, "Man, I'm having fun with this, so why are you sticking your ugly head out right here in [name issue here]?" Like I said, I would have played 2K10 twenty times as much if I could actually swing at the ball in the allotted time I would input to swing, but it just didn't happen.

I will keep looking back to this game because it's a very easy fix to pop in here and there. I just don't know if I can justify spending $60 on this baseball title anymore though. I actually cringe doing that for any video game, but for this one it's an easy target for me to say that with. This is an excellent $30 title though, probably the best money can buy. I'm not saying this game is worth $30, but it gets that kind of fix from me.

I think that is why 2k11 will appeal to many because it is baseball "lite"!

Potentially yes, I could see that. I'm not a huuuuuge baseball guy like some of the folks on here, but this game just doesn't cut it for me and I'm so happy the other option exists.

I really can't put my finger on it, but this game just feels awkward. Incredibly unresponsive in all aspects - I never feel like I'm fully in control.

I do like the lighting, stadium graphics and I also actually really like that batting view, but absolutely nothing else stood out to me as being good or polished in the slightest.

At the same time, it does seem to be extremely simple to pick up and play, which could help them sell copies, and hey, maybe that's what they were going for.

People who keep saying the User Pitching Camera makes the ball look floaty. That's been an issue when using the behind the Pitcher Camera for a while. If you use the behind the Hitter Pitching Camera, it's not an issue.

And to tell you the truth, it's not that bad in the DEMO.

Can you change settings other than Total Control Batting and Pitching?

Also, why does it tell you what pitch the CPU is throwing? Can it be turned off and how?

Also, can human baserunning be changed to auto on the Retail version?

I have the PS3 version

Thx

Yes you can change that stuff. Press start, then i think it's the R stick that lets you go to options, there you'll see what you can and can't change.
