MLB 2K11 Video: Philadelphia Phillies vs. Colorado Rockies

Sound, commentary and presentation are awesome, way better than The Show imo. That crack of the bat - priceless. But graphics and animations are still ... average. This game has great potential, I hope it'll reach it someday.

Gimme the gameplay and realism of PYS, the graphics, animations, controls of The Show and the sound, commentary, presentation of 2K and I'll be the happiest baseball gamer out there.

Yeah, I don't see any of the improvements they're talking about...more hit types, I couldn't even tell that they were new models...

I'm just disappointed and underwhelmed.

From what these comments sound like...commentary and overlays are what make a game good? The graphics look like PS2 and the baserunning animations and gameplay overall looks unimpressive, if not out dated. That's my opinion though so who knows? I've loved 2k games ever since I picked up nba 2k7, but I am def staying with SCEA when it comes to baseball.

One Word ..... HATS!!
Anyone else notice Ty Wigginton was wearing a **gasp** Colorado Hat instead of a Baltimore one.
This has been on of the smaller things that I have had a problem with. I got tired of seeing Matt Holliday wearing a Oakland A's Hat!!

This video was definitely a little disappointing/underwhelming. Aside from the different camera angle and the ball looking slightly better off the bat, the game seemed relatively the same.

I'll still get it but stuff in the video definitely just reminded me of 2k10. After Gonzalez scored it still had the really awkward walk back to the dug out, and even on the first ball hit out to the outfield you can see the outfielder pick up the ball slowly and whatnot. That kinda stuff just ruins it a little for me imo.

It was a little underwhelming. I will reserve my judgement, though.

Things I never understood about this forum, despite how great it is for news;

Since 2K10 has been released, all I've been hearing on this board is how posters expect 2K11 will be just 2K10 but with improvements and thats the game we wanted. This video drops and people are complaining about how much it looks like 2K10.

Same with graphics, people say graphics do not a good game make, but this video comes out and all I hear about are complaints about the graphics.

Look, I know the reality, the 2K series has disappointed all of us over the years but in many ways, 2K11, from the brief 10 mins of the game we have seen, is on the most part what I expected to see from what we have been told about. Yes, I don't think it was the best representation of what we've been promised but it showed a bit.

It's irks me no end to hear people seem to copy what others say on the internet and post it with the appearance of an angry 12 year old child (aka 99% of the Youtube comments on the 2K and OS channels) and because THEY think that, IT HAS TO BE Correct. And people wonder why we can't do comparisons on this board anymore...

Okay, flame away.

I like how the hitting camera flows seamlessly to the fielding cam. However gameplay improvements seem minor. My major concern is the lack of foul balls once again, there's none except one instance where there are three consecutive, like if the user is using defensive swing to trigger them. Manuel's face gave me the creeps.....
