MLB 2K11 / MLB 11 The Show Thread

[ace23]

I'm currently 13-24 (6th in NL Central) w/ the Astros. We're hitting .210 as a team, but our pitching (3.85) ERA has kept our W-L record somewhat respectable. I play every game.

Congrats.

I got no-hit by R.A. Dickey over the weekend. I can't hit the knuckleball to save my life in this game.

[irondarts]

When I face Dickey, I use the "Guess The Pitch" feature and always guess the Knuckle Ball, when it tells me I guessed right before the Pitch is thrown, I just lay off of it, because most of the time it's a Ball. When the count get's to 2-0 he'll throw an 86 mph Fastball and I crushed it most of the time.

He was throwing the knuckleball for strikes.

Got MLB 2k11 from gamefly.first game i played i got shut out and only got 4 hits and struck out like 14 times

Every swing was too early or too late

[irondarts]

Nearly threw a Perfect Game with Casey Kelly (Padres) today, but lost it in the 7th.

[Skywalker]

next game I get is the show 11

[irondarts]

Downloaded the Top 100 Prospects Roster and started a new franchise with the Padres, my Line up is ridiculous:

2B - Orlando Hudson
SS - Manny Machado
C - Jesus Montero
RF - Kyle Blanks
3B - Pedro Alvarez
1B - Derek Norris
CF - Cameron Maybin
LF - Pat Burrell

Rotation:

Mat Latos
Rich Harden
Casey Kelly
Jarrod Parker
Dellin Betances / Tyson Ross

Made tons of trades, got Montero and Betances for Heath Bell and Aaron Harang and made some other ridiculous trades that would never happen except in a video game. But man, this game is awesome. Don't think I've played another game in months.

Also started a new RTTS as a First Baseman for the Indians, then got traded to the Rays, about to make my ML debut.

just got mlb 11 the show, i really enjoyed mlb 10 the show but i was tired of playing with outdated rosters. just started franchise mode with the dodgers.

do you guys use the analog for hitting and pitching? i've heard bad things about it and i've become so accustomed to the controls from 10 that i'm pretty hesitant to try.

Analog pitching and zone hitting.
