Re: MLB 2K11: Best & Worst

I'll start...

Best Pitcher I've used so far: RHP James McDonald. Then again, I've only played as the Pirates so far...

Best Hitter I've used so far: Pedro Alvarez. He's. A. Beast.

Worst Play: Throwing error made by Pedro Alvarez w/ 2 outs that would've ended the inning, but instead allowed the Cubbies to take the lead, win, and prevent Pitt from splitting the series.

Agree on both players, JBH. Running a test franchise with the Pirates right now. Love pitching with McDonald. Also, Alvarez is just flat-out smoking the ball for me. I've hit homeruns with him using both Power-swings and Contact-swings. Now... If I can somehow swing him to my Cubbies when I start my real franchise.... lol

Re: MLB 2K11: Best & Worst

Best Hitter: Scott Rolen hit 330, had 34 HR and 110 RBIs in my franchise, oh yeah, he also won NL MVP.

Best Pitcher: The Cuban Missile, he may get hit around by the computer, but against humans, hes almost unhittable.

Wow. Rolen was insane eh...

The Cuban Missile is beastly...I somehow managed 4 hits and 2 runs, but he struck out 11 in only 5.1 innings against my Pirates.

Pedro Alvarez is a beast have started a few franchises and i always trade for him.

Best hitter in the game for me is Justin Morneau.

Best fielder i have used is Jay Bruce.

Worst game i played was Pirates vs White Sox, i had a 5 run lead going into the top of the 9th and only gave up two hits with Maholm. White Sox where at the top of the line-up and just went bang. Conceded 8 runs and wasn't able to make it up with my last at bat.

Re: MLB 2K11: Best & Worst

Best pitcher Timmy Limcecum or Zach Grekine ( Giants then Brewers). Best Hitter Adam Dunn, Robinson Cano, Jose Bautista, and Albert Pujols are hard to put in order. The Pirates don't have very many that even come close.

Re: MLB 2K11: Best & Worst

Best Pitcher to use: Tough call, because I'm not very good at pitching in this game, haha. However, Rafael Soriano and Mariano are great for me coming out of the pen on my Yankees chise. Both have great fastball/cutter combos. Love using them.

Worst pitcher to face: Felix Hernadez or Aroldis Chapman.

Anyone with a hard sinker but slow curve is also hard to hit, as its hard to tell those pitches from each other at times.

Best Fielder: easily Rajai Davis on the Blue Jays. I've only played two games with him, yet I've fallen in love with his defensive ability. Hes so fast that he gets to every ball in the gap, often turning would be doubles into fly outs, and he has a decent arm to boot.

Best Hitter: Another tough call, but Troy Tulowitski on the Rockies is a machine. Jose Bautista is also unreal, almost every ball he hits goes out to the wall it seems.

Worst hitter to face: Dustin Pedroia kills me every time I face him. I dont think I've gotten him out more than once in any game I've played against the Sox.

Re: MLB 2K11: Best & Worst

Great thread!

The toughest pitcher I've faced is definitely Zach Grienke. I just can't hit that guy to save my life. The toughest hitter I've faced is probably Miguel Cabrera. I'm legitimately scared to pitch to him.

Re: MLB 2K11: Best & Worst

Only really play with the Rangers in my franchise:

Best Pitcher: Alexi Ogando (I seem to have a good control with him.)
Best Hitter: Mitch Moreland (end of May, AVG at .390)
Best Pitcher: I've faced: Dan Haren sticks out. Cliff Lee.
Best Hitter I've faced: *** **** Miguel Olivo. I can't get Miguel Olivo out. I don't know why, he just rakes against me.

Re: MLB 2K11: Best & Worst

Anyone who doesn't say Halladay simply hasn't used him, or would prefer to mention someone other than the obvious.

He is just so dominant in this game, its almost ridiculous ... and thats from a lifelong Blue Jays and Doc supporter.

Re: MLB 2K11: Best & Worst

I hate the Phillies but I have played AS him before

Re: MLB 2K11: Best & Worst

I started playing a little bit with the Cardinals, and Adam Wainright's curve is beyond filthy. It has to be one of the best pitches in the game. I used Carpenter for a couple of games and was amazed at the drop that pitch has every time I threw it. The way the CPU flailed when trying to hit it was comical.

On defense, that Ryan kid who plays SS for SEA seems to make every single play. He stands out when I play the Mariners.

Re: MLB 2K11: Best & Worst

Best/Worst Pitcher

Best: Scott Olsen. I had a couple pitchers go down and moved him to starter. He's 7-0 with a 1.25 ERA. I just massacre teams with him.

Worst: James McDonald. I just don't like his pitch selection.

Best/Worst Hitter

Best: Pedro Alvarez. Has close to 20 HRs 3/4 of the way through a 52(?) game season.

Worst: John Bowker.

Best/Worst Fielder

Best: Andrew McCutchen. Nothing really needs to be said there.

Worst: Garrett Jones. Slow slow slow! and his accuracy is tough to master.

Best Prospect Drafted

More of a best class drafted: I had a monster draft. 2 5 star potential pitchers that came in at 73 overall and 71 overall, a5 star potential RF that's 75 overall, and a 4 star potential 1B that's 70 overall, all 18 or 19. After them, I had a few decent guys that may work out long-term.

Re: MLB 2K11: Best & Worst

I've done a ton of rebuilds along with a franchise with my Angels. Here are my findings:

-Best Pitcher - Jered Weaver (LAA). can't argue with 270 Ks, 21 Ws, and a 1.91 ERA

-Worst Pitcher - Fernando Rodriguez (HOU). In two innings, he allowed 8 runs, both off of loading the bases, and then a grand slam with no outs.

-Best Hitter - Howie Kendrick (LAA). It's tough between him and Bautista, but Kendrick had better performance in the two Franchises I've used him in. Best season - .312/28/140 Worst Season - .280/20/100

-Worst Hitter - Jose Reyes (NYM). In four seasons, he had a sum line of .242/5/50. Idk how he became so awful. Lucky for him he won two gold gloves.

-Best Prospect - Charlie Brown (PIT). Drafted him in the first season with the Pirates, SP, 5 star prospect and his model looked a bit like Charles Schulz. Three seasons after I drafted him, he was my ace with an 89 rating. That's where I'm at with him now.
