Planet Xbox 360 writes: "don’t think I’ll understand why game companies release baseball games a full month before the actual season starts. In some states, snow is still on the ground. It’s not exactly baseball weather. On the other hand, maybe it has something to do with building hype for the upcoming season and getting baseball players ready for the 2011 season. So I suppose I can understand that. With that, we have Major League Baseball 2K11, now available in stores. Now, there’s something about this year’s baseball games that really say, “Been here, done that.” (And I’m relating to both MLB 2K11 and MLB 11: The Show, a PlayStation 3 exclusive.) That’s because neither game has really changed that much, sticking, for the most part, to the features that worked so well last year. That’s not entirely a bad thing, as there’s a certain familiarity that comes with the product."
Like last year’s MLB 2k10, 2K11 has a date specific achievement involving this game. The achievement is called, “Mid-Summer Classic” and the description simply says, “Play the All-Star game in MLB Today.” Even though the All-Star game is not until tomorrow, 2K Sports is giving us three whole days to get this achievement out of the way. That’s right, you all have from the rest of today (July 11) until July 13th to knock this achievement out of the park.
Calvin Kemph states, "While there's nothing worse about this year's game than MLB 2K10, many of the improvements are trivial, so incremental that they add little meaningful value."
I play MLB2K every day because it's the only baseball game on the PC.
I play it with two monitors. The second monitor is showing the MLB TV streaming feed.
"2K Sports announced today that the next million dollar winner has been confirmed for the Major League Baseball® 2K11 Perfect Game Challenge. The winner, who will be revealed on Thursday, May 26, will take home $1 million and a lifetime’s worth of bragging rights for being the first person to pitch a verified perfect game in Major League Baseball 2K11." -- Wiiloveit.com (Official Press Release)
