I'm thinking of Dumb & Dumber when I say "you must be a European". Just teasing ya'.

You can have the greatest game play in the world but if you pile a bunch of dog crap on top of it and call it a day, then not many people are going to buy it.

What you are saying, I agree with. Gameplay >> Graphics, but at the end of the day, players now a days want the full package. The Show's gameplay is good enough and their attention to the details is what draws people in. I'm not saying that it is the greatest game ever to be played in the history of sports, but it works.

I think the pitching system needs to be overhauled and the hitting physics can be very unrealistic at times.

2k is VASTLY ahead of The Show in the pitching department. The hitting still needs work, and the bugs can make 2k11 sometimes unplayable. Regardless of whether you think graphics are important, the image is what represents the product. If you have a bunch of player models that look like crap, awkward throwing and hitting animations, people are going to be turned off.

There's a time where you need to stick with something that works and polish it instead of always trying to advance and progress. Like the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's the model that Show follows and why they have been so successful.

Once 2k figures this out, this game has the potential to be WAY better than The Show.

The question "Why doesn't this game get more love?" needs to be addressed to 2k. This is a tremendous game @ it's core. But the support that followed was poor. If they could've released a patch to fix injuries, double plays (where the CPU runner would take off @ first), and fatigue issues, this game would have been close to flawless IMO. But, alas, nothing. And I have not heard of anything either. I stopped caring after a while, so there may have been something but I never knew about it.

It 's the only baseball game I could to play and what a fun game it is but I went over to the dark side and loving every minute.

It's better than FIFA, the elitist AI of FIFA makes the game completely unenjoyable to play. MLB2K games are always fun to play and that's what it's all about!

I just wish they would get the damn custom settings right for camera angles! Whenever I start a new game or return to a season they automatically return to default despite me saving them the way I wanted... the whole thing puts me off!

One-time 2K purchaser that skipped 2K11. Learned my lesson.

All I want is to have errors, AI steals, a semi functioning AI that works the bullpen correctly, starting pitcher stamina, a somewhat decent durability system, injuries, STATS that work correctly in franchise, fielding, animations that doesn't disrupt gameplay, and some of the old pitching/hitting mechanics from their past releases all in one game.

Is that too much to ask?

Doesn't 2k11 have error, stamina, and injuries? I remember that was an issue in 2k10 but I thought they fixed all of that.
