Schock the world...

Pretty good read, sounds like they've made some good strides! The only thing I'm not sure about is the camera staying on the batter while batting... I'll just have to see that one in motion before I judge.

This game sounds really promising, plus with this being the 3rd year of the cycle they have certainly had time to get most things right

"2K has also decided to keep the camera with the hitter at all times when batting"

I hope this can be turned off. I didn't like when that would randomly happen in 2k7.

I was only going to rent this one and wait till a little later in the summer to get this used, as I think The Show and TW12 will take up most of my time but if what they say in this article is true, this may have just moved into the purchase category. This all sounds incredibly promising and there's been aspects of this series I've always enjoyed, even in it's most buggiest forms (2K9).

Reoccurring injuries sounds awesome!

"For example if Shane Victorino legs out an infield single, he might pump his fist as he heads back to first base, or if CC Sabathia loads the bases he might head back to the mound while shouting expletives into his mitt. If you see it in real-life, you can expect to see it in 2K11."

This has me very excited. I cant get enough of it in nba 2k11.

What really has me sold on the game that has been announced already is the tiered fielding animations. The only thing that has me concerned is if there is enough variety in each tier. Id hate to see a rookie have the same 2 or 3 bobble animations every time they make a play. Im also a little worried that superstar fielders wont have any errors at all.

I wasn't planning on getting 2k11 (I got 2k10 for $3 last year and it's good enough for me), but if the fielding is a big improvement over 2k10, I might have to re-consider. I may wait a few weeks for any bugs to be discovered and for a PC version price drop.

It really is refreshing to see that they have really focused on the small details it seems. Obviously game videos will either back that up or not but I'm getting excited for March 8th so far!!

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.

oh man I know.
this feature sounds great.
reeeeallly excited to play this thing now as a franchise junkie.

franchise players got love this year baby!

[kashmir28]

Reading some back articles and found this and got all excited about 2K11.I'm still excited about the introduction of these features, but PLEASE let there be visual improvements as well. The lack of an upgrade in the scoreboard portraits concerns me as far as the visuals, but those portraits were there two years ago and last year saw some visual improvements over 2K9. Just have to wait and see I guess. But, if anything it sounds like 2K11 may have some NBA 2K feel to it, hopefully.

As a longtime Show player, I may give this game a shot.

Presentation in 2K was always steller, and now they announce "beefed-up" commentary. Sounds extremely promising!

I'm amped! This looks better and better all the time!
