PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 The "main" version of
MLB 2K11 retains the features of
Major League Baseball 2K10 but adds new content. Some of the new features include the Dynamic Player Rating System (DPRS), which updates a players ability with the last four weeks of a real player's activity, which will include slumps and hot streaks. The DPRS will only affect hitting and pitching; it will not affect a player's fielding ability. There will be no option to play without the DRPS turned on, however, the DPRS does not affect trades, due to the DPRS being a short term value. Franchise modes will reflect player values based on franchise stats, not real life. The My Player career mode has similarly been improved and tweaked. The umpires will now have a more random strike zone, while pitch ratings affect ability to locate pitches. The game will feature more
AI gameplay sliders than any MLB 2K game before, and for the first time, tweaking sliders will not affect achievements. Poor fielders will be "locked out" of good animations, and the fielding rating will affect how close to the ball the fielder must be to reach it. Base stealing has been revamped, and will take into account many variables such as the speed of the runner, type of pitch, lead, and the catcher's arm.
Wii The
Wii version has its own unique features, including the Mini-Diamond, a new multiplayer mode set in fantasy venues, such as a low gravity Space ballpark to a Circus environment, while the Total Control Pitching and Hitting feature utilizes the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. The Wii version also retains the Franchise, Tournament and
Home Run Derby modes of the main version. There is no "My Player" or "MLB Today" career mode for the Wii.
PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable The
PlayStation 2 and
PlayStation Portable versions are less feature-rich than the main version as they are reskins of
Major League Baseball 2K6, but they still feature Franchise and Season play, the
Home Run Derby and a unique Manager Showdown feature in which a player sets up a lineup and a starting pitcher and plays the game strictly from the manager's role as strategist. The PSP version adds The Farm, which allows the player to engage in
Minor League Baseball games.
Nintendo DS The
Nintendo DS version features both a Season Mode and a Postseason Mode, as well as utilizing the touch screen for the Total Control Pitching and Hitting Feature. The game also features 250 collectible virtual trading cards. ==Promotion==
