Yes, the graphics aren't nearly as nice, but if you really think this is on the level of PSX or N64 graphics, clearly you weren't a gamer back in those days. These are basically PS2-level graphics.
Ok, gents, opening sequence is from XBox I believe, and it is there for comparison. Author clearly states it, please bother to watch before you post.
As for the game, I agree with all points. The WII Sports baseball has more reallistic batting experience than this. Ball reflects properly and even though you can "fake" it by just shaking the handle, proper swing will get the job done. Foul balls counted as HRs, HRs called ground-rule doubles, infielders missing routine groundballs. DO NOT BUY!!!
I knew that wii sucked, but come on! I think that the best way to avoid this is to get an xbox or ps3. I have 2k11 for the xbox and i have yet to figure out something wrong with it. I cant stand anything about wii.
HAHAHAH omfg i swear to god i use to have wii and im a huge baseball fan so i got mlb 2k8 for the wii. i moved on to a ps3 now and play mlb 11 the show and now tat i look at mlb 2k11 for the wii. IT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN MLB 2K8.
@Wii602006:Well, I would have to agree with you on your review. It appears that 2K11 for the Wii looks identical to 2K10 (I have that by the way both for the Wii and PS3 and the PS3 version of 2K10 is way better in terms of graphics *and* game modes, the Wii version doesn't have a My Player Mode which makes that game on PS3 all the more fun to play). Nice review by the way.
Mario Brothers Sluggers is 100% better for a baseball game for wii. stick to the cartoons games! at least NFL2K11 went cartoonish for wii because they new they could not make graphics life like. FYI I threw my wii in my 4 year olds room and my son said no thank you dad i want a ps3 like my cousin! wii sucks!!

well if you dont have ps3 ps2 or psp you might as well buy this cuz thats the only baseball well ps2 is cheap now so you might as well buy it its not as great as tha ps3 version but its better than 2k11 for the ps2
@Ohiomachinerocks i think the runner just randomly chooses to collide with the catcher...i dont think there are any contols to purposly make them collide with the catcher
you know what they should have done... they should have made a custom bat that fits both the nunchuck and the wiimote so you could swing better. OR they COULD have just given the gamer the ability to swing with out the nunchuck being connected. Oh and really upgrade the graphics
@3678robert yeah, I have 2k9 and if the gameplay is as bad as that, then the gameplay sucks too. but see, i don't mind bad graphics, but this is out of line in this game. It's litterally the worst graphics I've seen by a non portable console. My psp gaames have better graphics!! it is an embarassment to video games, it hurts my eyes when i look at this game... and i don't like it
I dont care about graphics to much like madden 11 for the wii but GREAT GOD whats up with the nuchuck im used to swing it up since i play high school basbeall
@jonnyarruru i bought this on wii and the graphics did suck and my player mode is not available but i just like the game and i ignore the graphics and just played season and drafted the ultimate team and ended up with the best record in the league
this game is crap the graphics just make me want to break the t.v do not bye this game it is horrible by the way this guy is stupid get that shit out of your ears
Thank you for the review. If the batting requires me to use both hands and guess exactly where the pitcher throws the ball like in wii MLK09 then I won't waste me time with this game. MLB 2k8 is a easy game to swing the bat and hit the baseball and the baserunning on MLB2k8 is easy.
I'm soooo glad you posted this review. I just bought the 2k9 version and I thought, what a peace of crap. I was gonna buy the newest version until I saw your review. Why can't the wii people get their act together and use the full potential of the system! Anyways, thanks for posting
HAHAHAHAHA! i swear to god, i have mlb 2k8 for the wii, and from 2k8 to 2k11, the graphics are exacatly the same!! HAHAHA. all the scenes and the stuff and the animations are EXACATLY the same. all they did was update the rosters and changed the title to 2k11.
If Sony is already making MLB games for the PLaystation systems, why is 2k making games for them? 2k is wasting money and using it for the Playstation systems instead of the Wii.
I got my wii 3 years ago and regret it greatly. Not that I hate the wii but I like sports games. And all the sports games especially baseball are way better on the xbox 360 and ps3. The graphics are not nearly as good either. The only people the wii is better for are kids as in like 10 and under kids and old people
great review. somebody's gotta let ea sports or whoever the fuck makes mlb 2k11 for the wii to make better graphics, regular scoreboard etc. And come on, give tim lincecum his long hair and brian wilson his bead! wtf
wow i wanna get this game for xbox 360 but my xbox 360 wont work...everytime i put a cd in it , it says open tray...i guess im stuck with crappy wii graphics now
Fuck 2kSports, this game makes me even more ashamed to own a Wii. I played through an entire 162 game season + playoffs on 2k9 for the Wii, and to see that 2k11 has the same fucking opening for a game and the same graphics and commentators that I had to sit through 162+ times, it's bullshit. They obviously didn't care to think people might be sick of seeing the same shit every game.
Its funny how 2k puts online in nba 2k11 for the wii but they don't for mlb 2k11.Also Nba 2k11 for wii interface looks like ps3 and xbox.But the graphics arn't good.
Jesus..I understand that the wii doesn't have the capabilities of the 360 or ps3 but I think the developers are purely to blame here. This is lazy development bar none.
I like the gotcha at the beginning. If you want graphics that good you gotta at least get an XBox, and if you can get a PS3 quit MLB 2K altogether and get THE SHOW.
this not the wii version it has crappy graphics and is not have my player mode I know this for a fact unless there is a canadian or a American version out there which there might not be but I know for a fact this is not for the wii because I have it and it is almost like last years 2K game which makes it hardly worth it with no my player or mlb today so this game is not good for the canadian version wii for this is not like the one I picked up from EB games for 59 bucks and other than that k

Thanks for doing this review I have been looking for a review and footage of mlb 2k11 for the wii. I figure it would still be a gimped version with crappy graphics but your video confirms this. I just bought mvp baseball 2005 for the gamecube at gamestop for $3 I will play that on my wii instead of this.
@JeReL19 Yeah I was hoping 2k would make the wii version the same minus the graphics like they do with the nba 2k series but they just don't care anymore. They even admit they are just riding out the mlb contract for the most part and regret paying for it so this game really shouldn't be a surprise for me. Just sad the two best baseball games I have for wii are outdated mlb power pros 2007 and mvp baseball 2005. I did enjoy mlb 2k8 for the wii but they just gave up after that.
