Released on Steam today on a "daily deal" of £7.49.

Thoroughly enjoyed 2010 so a blast for such a low price.

Online multiplayer too.

what was 2k10 like?

I've been looking for a baseball game for a long time, is this any good?

I think the last one I played was Hardball on the C64

2K10 was a good game opinion.

It is not over the top, arcade like so does offer a challenge.

2K11 Looks and plays very well in my opinion. Fully mapped 360 gamepad controls too.

I posted what i thought about MLB 2k10 in Steam summer sales thread but yeah it was good though from what i've played of 2K11 so far the pitching/batting seems more realistic for a start.If you are a baseball fan yet do not have a baseball game then it's definitely one to consider at the current price as they are rare on pc too.

The batting is a bit different in 2k11, you got to either move the stick forward when you see it in the strikezone for a decent contact hit that is good if your player has low contact rating or if you pull stick back and move fast it does a power swing which is good if you got high contact rating.(though this 2nd way seems fairly hard to pull off....unless i am doing it wrong but before i did my first hit yesterday it said the above plus if you want to bunt you can press X then move it in time when ball in strikezone.)

I am not sure what the defensive batting thing is it states when it tells you though i am still wondering how the power swing works properly as i am not sure if you got to hold it down for a few seconds then move it upwards like a fastball pitch.
