First Look at MLB 2K11 Gameplay
It should be concerning that the arrival of MLB 2K11 is just over two weeks away and no gameplay videos have been released. 2K Sports is not even sending preview builds out to media sites this year. Though the series somewhat recovered with 2K10 the last thing it needed going into 2K11 was the sense that it was being hidden or protected from criticism. A prerelease demo will certainly be critical in establishing it as a capable title but has not yet been announced. Today brings the first op...

Tons of MLB 2K11 Player Ratings
A great deal of player ratings for MLB 2K11 are out as they were publicly accessible on the 2K community online league website. I've collected all the teams that were being used which amounts to 22 of them and put them in the gallery dedicated to the player ratings for ease of browsing. The teams not found were the Padres, Nationals, Tigers, White Sox, Orioles, Reds, Diamondbacks, and Pirates.

Improvements to MLB 2K11 Modes and Graphics Detailed
A few updates dropped today for MLB 2K11.

With only three and a half weeks to go until release hopefully 2K will open up with some gameplay footage and set a demo date a week or two in advance. Graphically the MLB 2K series has been poor the past few years, in some ways to an embarrassing extent, as a clear trade-off was ma...

The Latest on MLB 2K11
Here are some updates on MLB 2K11 since breaking the news on the feature list during the week. It'll be interesting to see whether the game, which has put a focus on improving defensive play in lieu of significant new features, will be able to draw any of the large number of consumers who've been turned away by previous efforts this generation. The $1 million contest is obviously meant to be that attraction as simply saying the game is cleaned up and potentially a solid effort won't be enough ...

MLB 2K11 Features List
2K Sports has been especially quiet on the MLB 2K11 front (outside of the $1 million contest announcement) and after the comments made regarding the MLB license that has increased concern that the series isn't going to make a strong push this year or next.

The big addition appears to be the "Dynamic Player Ratings" which wi...
