Dynamic Ratings Feature in MLB 2K11 Not Really Working Either
MLB 2K11 has faced heavy criticism for being riddled with serious bugs and AI issues and after seven weeks a patch hasn't even been delivered in an attempt to address them.

NBA 2K11 Beats All Sports Releases in March
In its sixth month of release NBA 2K11 continued its sales dominance by topping all of the high profile new sports titles that arrived in March.

In total there were eight different sports themed titles to release last month and that competition appears to have eaten away at the potential of each ...

Has Someone Already Won the MLB 2K11 Perfect Game Contest?
By all accounts the $1 Million Perfect Game Contest for MLB 2K11 has proven to be more challenging than that of MLB 2K10 which ended on the very first day. Whether it be due to the difficulty being adjusted, the addition of errors and less reliable fielding, or any number of bugs or freezing issues there has been more frustration communicated about the contest this year. It now appears though that at least one person has achieved a perfect game within the special dedicated mode as a video...
