MLB 2K11 Reviewer First Impressions

[TexasBorn1]

I like you guys new review process
Definitely an improvement! and thanks for the impressions I agree that this game biggest problems have to do with polish. The base is solid though

2k finally has a baseball title they can build off of instead of starting over

The graphical glitches don't bother me in the least. The game plays a fun game of BB and I am very happy with my purchases. I do think they need to fix stat glitches. I got a hit in an inning, got caught stealing (once when I was five) and I noticed the game didn't count it as a hit.

The thing is with all that said even if I agree in spots, this game still deserves a good review. That's the question I guess. Do you review a game based on it's technical perfection or do you base your review on just how good a game is. It should be a little of both but I honestly can't see this game getting a 7. IT's just a better game than that. I like it better than the show and it's not because i don't understand the show or am not hardcore enough for it. I just prefer this game.

I agree the presentation i think more than makes up for the hiccups this game has from time to time....

I tolerated a lot more bugs and disjointed faces with HH Baseball because that played a great stat filled game. HH Baseball was in my CD drive for years and it was much buggier.

Depends on your tolerence of overlooking a few bugs vs great game play. I'm sure the bugs will be ironed out in a patch down the road and this game will be even better.

Or some people don't have a PS3 and don't have the extra $200-300 to buy one plus a $60 game. It's definitely not about "intimidation". 2k11 is a blast. I feel sorry for the "The Show" homers who look down upon this game because the graphics aren't the best around. You're missing some very good aspects of video game baseball that not even "The Show" can replicate.

no disrespect, but are you guys just gonna ignore what CMH said?
No Show talk.

geez its getting really annoying coming to read an article on here about 2K and having people go on about another game.

man you guys are really disrespecting what the Mods are asking.

In any event, as always I love the in house articles.
Still on the fenc about 2k, but as the OS talk builds up, ill decide.

As this is also an OS Front Page article, most of us forget that it also double posts on the 2k11 message board. No disrespect intended on my end.
