Re: New York Post MLB 2k11 preview

I'm just loving all the talk about re-done animations. This series has sorely needed an over-haul to it's animation system. This alone has me

I'm am sooooooooooo ready for some game play videos

Re: New York Post MLB 2k11 preview

Man, I'm really likeing the "reoccuring" injuries that will be present in franchise mode. No baseball game, or any sport game for that matter, has truly been able to implement this properly. Now, I am wondering if this is a one season thing or over the span of a players career.

For example, If I have a pitcher who is experiencing arm problems in year 1, will he be injury prone in year 2? Or will his "health status" be reset? Man, either way this is fantastic news. This will definitely add strategy in franchise mode, especially for that hot shot prospect who is experiencing hamstring problems and choose to shut him down before it becomes a major problem down the road.

Really hoping all of this translates into an improved experience. Reading this is really pumping up my excitement meter.

Recurring injuries!
Nice!
That's some strategy there.
I hope teams look at that with trades.....that would be dynamite. Having a high rated player...injury prone...and teams not giving you "full" value back.
That would be sweet.

More good info. Even though my schedule the next couple of months is going to be busy, I'm really thinking of getting both baseball games this year.

I love how they have more announcing. MLB TODAY should rock this year for me.

NFL Head Coach 10?

Anyway, this is sounding like a definite purchase for me. I just want to hear about the pitching accuracy and simulated stats for Franchise mode so that elite players will play like elite players instead of CC Sabathia going 15-13 like they would last year. When does the game come out? Sometime in March?

Edit: According to the article, the simulated stats are improved and so are contract negotiations. I hope this means that the free agents will generally be better as well.

March 8th.

The HR thing seemed to only be a reference to when you HIT the ball not when you are FIELDING the ball.

That was an amazingly insightful read, I'm sold on what 2K is selling. Now I'm just waiting to see people's actual impressions of whether they deliver.

Ive played The Show for the last 3 years being i had a PS3 and XBOX, i recently sold my PS3 this past fall due to tighter financial obligations and the only game I would use it for was The Show. I'm very excited for 2K baseball this year, it sounds like they're really starting to put it together and are going to put out a solid baseball game this spring.

The more I hear about this game, the more optimistic I become. Every little bit of info hints at a game finally focused on depth and detail.

-Love the franchise additions like reoccurring injuries (big boon to strategy) and the trade value indicators (finally something to truly recognize the value of potential and upside vs pure ratings comparisons).

-Love all the animation work they keep discussing...hope it pays off.

-Love the removal of the HR indicator and the player relative camera work could be a nice touch (though it depends on just how it's implemented, of course).

-Really love the bold statement about MLB Today being good enough to replace Sportscenter, MLB Network, etc. I doubt it...lol...but I like the desire for full immersion.

Seriously, I'm starting to go from cautious optimism to flat-out eagerness...lol. Still want to see some gameplay (which shouldn't be too far off, I imagine) before I lose my mind, but I'm really looking forward to checking this out.

The more I see of this game the more excited I am getting. If 2K have got the logic spot on with all these new features the Franchise Mode may be one of the best yet across all sports sims.
Really looking forward to the MLB Today feature. This may be seen as decoration to some but for many an accurate broadcast element to a game can really heighten the feel of realism to a sports game. Evidence of this can be found in the likes of NFL 2K5 & NBA 2K11.
