    Just picked up MLB 2k11 and shit my pants when I heard rear view mirror as a song on their set list.

    And the bullshit begins. I just got beat online and it gave me TWO losses on my gamer card. Lame. But at least I haven't had to deal with much of a lag at all online so that's good.

    That's what I wanna ask - how is the online play? Much improved? No lag? I'd also like to have the option to change my point of view when pitching - I like to pitch viewing from the mound.

    baseball games dont really work too well online. The cheesing really kills the integrity of the game.

    Eh. You can weed them out with leagues. That's the only aspect of the 2K games I liked better. I got into some cash leagues so people had to adhere to some kind of etiquette. Those were the best - $20 leagues. Now, if only The Show's leagues options and online play are good I'm going to look to do the same on there.

    Overall I think it's much better. Not that there's no lag at all because you'll get the occasional "traffic delay", but as far as having to friendly quit because the lag is so bad, I haven't had that yet.

    I'm finally getting the analog batting down.
    Really, the best thing I did was to create a RTTS player (non pitcher). There you get to start off in AA, and they put you through a lot of batting practice. It has helped A LOT!!
    I was skeptical of the analog hitting at first...mostly because I sucked! But now I def prefer it!!

    Well you know, believe it or not there are those that prefer fun over realism, but in this case I was just referring to the analog controls. There's no doubt that The Show is a better overall package, but I'm tired of people shitting all over 2K11 like it's Superman 64 or something. Every time a friend comes over to check out the games they always prefer 2K because it's not so damn hard to simply hit the ball. It's much easier to pick up and play and it has come a long way.

    Well, sure...that's why the Wii exists and has been successful.
    Some people don't care for the detail, realism, or gameplay...but prefer something that they can pick up and play.
    Hell, I bet you if you asked the average person if they preferred RBI Baseball on the NES or MLB 11: The Show...RBI would win in a landslide.

    That said, I still do love RBI baseball on the NES. That game is fun...especially if you've been drinking! Lots of shit talking opportunity! :D

    Anyways, I'm really liking the new Show. Perfect? No, but you won't find a baseball game that comes close to it in my opinion!

    I'm thinking of picking this game up as I enjoyed MLB 09 ... I just wish Seattle didn't suck! Maybe I'll take the Cards or Tigers this year so I don't have to spend 4 hours manipulating a "super" Mariner team.

    Seattle needs to get a truckload of "Bret Boone's Instant Bicep" energy drink and start handing it out to the entire team as soon as possible!

    Party On, Dudes!

    I have the Move and have tried the HR Derby.
    While I've never been a fan of any game's HR derby, this makes it at least a little more interesting. That said, it also looks like the developers through it in a the very last second.
    If you've used the Move on other sports games (Sports Champions) you might be a little disappointed with HR Derby. It could have been a lot better!

    I was actually hoping for full Move support in this game. It could have worked out perfectly in RTTS. The Move plus the Nav controller would do everything you would need. Pitching, throwing, fielding, batting, whatever could have all been implemented with the Move.
    Oh well...maybe next year.
