During this baseball season I have noticed galore sort of uncomfortableness from the MLB fans. I have asked around and a mutual complaint is that MLB players are not giving their best performances because they may have lost their will to achieve more; some MLB fans blame this lack of motivation to the fact that they feel the players are overpaid. A fan genuinely told me, and I quote “making $10-20-30 Million over the next 6-8 years, it would be natural to slack off because I’m already being remunerated for good or bad future performances.” This worries me since Major League Baseball was actually one of the most valued sports, are the MLB teams in truth messing things up with the players’ salaries? Are the fans actually bored of observing million dollar baseball players “slack off” at a game they love?
A possible solution to this issue, could be to in truth have a base salary for all the MLB players and bonuses that will increase depending on the players’ performance, yet this solution could be kind of utopist for now. Some of the most overpaid players right now earn more than $14 million dollars, which is the case of Carlos Delgado from the New York Mets, at this moment Carlos’ contract is worth a nice $14.5 million dollars. Yet, if we take this kind of numbers as reference, there are likewise numerous worthful MLB players being underpaid, with contracts that earned them only $500 000. This is not making any sense if you ask me. Right now in baseball, major league standings are normal, yet the fans seem concerned regarding the kind of plays they are in truth watching. We all know for a fact that most of the overpaid baseball players are not providing much game. At this moment, the New York Yankees is the most eminent salaried team in Major League Baseball, almost earning twice as much as the Boston Red Sox; the worst remunerated team is the Florida Marlins.
Baseball teams are likewise being more open to the kind of deals they are capable to offer their players; such is the case of the Milwaukee Brewers, who have two of their most primary players on less than $500 000 contracts. Some regulation is evidently necessary, unluckily no one seems to ready and get their hands dirty on a clean up. For the moment, we may sit and watch the matches hoping that the baseball betting odds stay profitable and not think when it comes to the players’ wallet while we are at it.

 Serious baseball (with a few severe flaws)
By Charles M. Strnad
This will be short and sorta sweet- refer to the remarks I’ll tack on for a much more elaborate critique of this game, for those who are fascinated (ie: severe baseball geeks, like me).

Some improvements, but starting to feel stale
By Mike Fields
Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve purchased this game since ’08. Maybe it’s because this game is so good that it has spoiled me. But I can’t aid but feel this franchise has reached it is peak and is starting to level off.

 Presentation vs. Playability
By J. Safran
I’ve had each edition of this series since it started, and I’ve grown accustomed to the great graphics and the slick presentation. I’ve always found, though, that the playability needs rather a bit of tweaking to make the gameplay realistic. Thankfully, you have the capacity to make these changes with the dozens of settings that you may custommake with using the slider bar. I will say that this year’s game seems the most difficult to play in the MLB series and after hours of tweaking the gameplay settings, I still can’t get this right. My beefs:
1. Hitting has become particularly hard – which is fine if it works both ways (i.e. hard for the AI as well), but it doesn’t. I’ve abandoned the analog controls for now as they are not consistent and seem ‘off’ a bit (for lack of a better word). I was a very good hitter in the ’09 & ’10 editions but this year, it’s much more difficult. I’m up for a challenge but I think the AI needs to be impacted as well. I’m scoring 0-3 runs per game and haven’t hit double digits in hits 22 games into my season (with the Tigers, and there are some good hitters in that lineup). Too a good deal of grounders and soft pop flies to the shoal OF.
2. Piching is regressing year-over-year. The AI seems to have no issues hitting whatsoever I throw at the plate and has the plate discipline of Tony Gwynn or Wade Boggs with each batter. Whereas my pitchers struggle to hit the corners consistently, the AI does so with ease. Guys with a 5.00+ ERA in real-life are studs in this game. There is utterly zero forgiveness when pitching. I also think this game is to the point in it is development where needs to improve pitch acknowledgement and pitch physics. While it has always been tough to see balls vs. strikes on borderline pitches, this year it seems a little more difficult. I don’t think there is sufficient acknowledgement separation amongst pitches with 15 to 20 MPH differences. I actually think MLB 2K is better in this area. Other than 12-6 curveballs, pitches tend to be flat throughout the board.
3. Hits into the corner are seldom doubles. I think this game has always was struggling with efficaciously scaling OF speed, throwing accuracy and throwing velocity. Not sufficient drives into the gap fall. This needs much tweaking to get right and, again, for a good deal of reason I have not yet been competent to find that elixir in this year’s edition.
4. Stealing is, as always, tough. Not sufficient separation in catcher achievements amid those you can not run on and those you may thieve all day. It’s been this way for years.
All in all, I do receive pleasure from the game but I’m now looking at MLB 2K11 as a diversion to the somewhat unrealistic gameplay that The Show is getting more and more. The Show, graphically, blows away 2K11 but in my opinion playing the game is why we buy them.
