The last week, or two I have been eyeing a new game to buy. I decided to go back to my childhood days where I played only sports games with my brothers on Intellivision. The games have come a long way since those days, and the gameplay seems so realistic.
I had a hard time deciding on which game to buy. Was it going to be basketball, football, or baseball? I love watching basketball, and football on TV, but I seem to be pretty bad at playing those sports on video games. I decided on baseball which is odd because it is the only game I play where I hate actually watching the sport on TV.
I just understand baseball more than trying to figure out one hundred different plays which I still don't understand in the football, and basketball games. I purchased MLB2K11. The games have changed so much since the last time I played a baseball video game.
I was a little confused initially. I had a hard time trying to figure out the controls. Did I tell you how much console ported games drive me crazy? Eventually I figured out how to pitch, and bat. The first game I didn't even realize that I wasn't actually choosing, or controlling my pitches. It drove me crazy to see four, or five pitches with numbers next to them. Unfortunately in the PC version those numbers don't mean squat. The key mapping is just strange.
I have played two games into my franchise season now, and I am 2-0. The pitching on the Phillies is pretty strong. I have only allowed a few hits so far, but the control is so crazy with trying to aim the pitches with WASD. I am definitely going to buy an Xbox controller for my PC tonight.
I like the challenge of trying to throw a perfect game, no hitter, or just winning the game. I have always liked playing the season instead of just random one time games. It gives me something to work for by trying to have a great record, and making the playoffs.
MLB2K11 is a great game. I have already invested over five hours into the game today, and plan on trying to play at least two more games in my season tonight. The only thing I find annoying is all the announcer talk in the game. I have to play with my headphones laying on my desk otherwise I may want to punch Phillips, and Kruk in the mouth.
