MLB 2K11 Features New Broadcast View From Kotaku's Camera Work

[Steve_OS]

Some of you may recall Owen Good's piece from last year, where he gave MLB 2K10 camera angle settings for all 30 major league teams.

This year, MLB 2K11 will use those camera angle settings, in the improved broadcast view.

Quote:

"As you tour the 30 ballparks of Major League Baseball 2K11, you'll see games there from a center field camera view unique to each stadium. I can vouch for this feature's authenticity - because I did the work behind it. MLB 2K11 will feature a new broadcast-style presentation in which the angles of the center field camera view will change for all 30 major league ballparks, mimicking real-life broadcasts. Visual Concepts and 2K Sports credited the feature to this column I wrote last April, in which I used the camera settings of MLB 2K10 to recreate, as close as possible, what you saw in the center field shot from each baseball stadium. My point in doing so was that the uniform dimensions of a basketball or hockey arena, or football-only stadium, usually mean a uniform camera view in those sports. But in baseball, with the outfields' irregular measurements and ballparks' increasingly deliberate quirks and features, camera placement varies stadium to stadium. "We've said it before, but we really do pay attention to message boards, comments, and the good and bad criticism from journalists as ways to better our product and please our fans," said Chris Snyder, 2K Sports' director of marketing. "The fact that we have now put every home broadcast angle in Major League Baseball 2K11 is further evidence of that, and Kotaku and Owen deserve a big thank you for giving us the idea."

Nice! It's good to know 2K/VC cares enough to read this stuff and incorporate suggestions.

Man way to go 2ksports...after reading the article he starts with "i knew this would be difficult but i was determined" No excuses, no we cant do that in this cycle, he stated we read our message boards of what our fans want...Another sports gaming company really needs to take a look at what presentation and broadcast style simulation can do for SPORTS GAMES. Thats 2 and counting 2ksports

I have no clue, i've gone to several EBGames locations here and I see it for the PS3 but not for Xbox.

Oh well, i'll be keeping an eye out for it.
