It comes in, gets the job done, and leaves. The game's franchise mode, however, is a completely lackluster affair, devoid of any personality. You have a personal investment as you play, and it was something I came back to play over and over again.

While playing field positions isn't always fun, it's a new take on how to play a baseball video game and the situational hitting scenarios add extra suspense to each game. Back again this year, My Player throws you into the role of a top draft pick on the team of your choice as you make your way through the minor leagues and, eventually, the big leagues. This is the biggest issue that MLB 2K11 faces: for every good thing it does, it does two things wrong.Īnother example of this is the two game modes: My Player and Franchise. Yet, each seems to have the exact same design. I'd also expect the minor league stadiums to look like they actually do, as there are some really beautiful ones. I'd also expect a game with the promise of so much integration between the league and the game itself to stay up to date, yet Vladimir Guerrero is still listed as a free agent. I do not expect David Ortiz, who looks way too thin, to do that. I expect Jacoby Ellsbury to beat out infield singles and a double play attempt. They also play like the players actually do.for the most part. Player models look like the players themselves (I had to double check to make sure Jayson Werth shaved his beard). Visual Concepts was devoted to realism when developing this game. System: PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, DS, PSP
