Major League Baseball 2K11
SCORE: 69
I am a safety net for Family Friendly Gaming. I enjoy playing sports titles. So I will purchase the ones that drop through the cracks. Major League Baseball 2K11 was one of those games. Major League Baseball 2K11 is one of those Playstation Portable (PSP) games that probably should have stayed between the cracks. But it is a service to review this hand held title for our wonderful readers.
MLB The Show games have spoiled me to what a baseball game can look like. Major League Baseball 2K11 is ugly. I know beauty is only skin deep. It can be difficult to play Major League Baseball 2K11 due to how bad it looks. The players, the fields, the fans - everything in Major League Baseball 2K11 needs a complete graphical overhaul. Especially if this franchise wants to continue in the future. I found a few graphical glitches that added to the pile.
I do not understand why some sports games need to include songs with bad language. Why? The music in Major League Baseball 2K11 is lame. Thankfully it can be turned off. The announcers have nice sound bytes that usually fit the situation. I enjoyed listening to them while playing this baseball game.
Major League Baseball 2K11 includes enough teams and modes to keep gamers busy for a few months. My personal favorites are: The Farm, Home Run Derby, and Season mode. Franchise mode can engage those who want to play numerous seasons of Major League Baseball 2K11. I just wish some more effort had been put into the presentation.
The controls in Major League Baseball 2K11 are very touchy. I ran into problems pitching especially. Fielding was also a pain in certain situations. Batting was very hit and miss. More miss thanks to the graphical problems. I hope future iterations of Major League Baseball 2K11 work on the control interface.
Families can learn about baseball thanks to Major League Baseball 2K11.
Two family members can enjoy Major League Baseball 2K11 in the Ad Hoc
mode. Families can take their favorite team to the World Series in Major
League Baseball 2K11. Hopefully won’t get eye strain trying to do that.
Maybe this franchise will take drastic steps forward on the Playstation
Vita. I recommend families pass on this PSP game.
