MLB 2k11

Hadn't played a baseball game since EA sports MVP which I didn't think much buy enjoyed some on old consoles. With MLB 2k12 being released the older version was available for $10 so thought I'd give it a go. Many people have complained at how difficult it is and I certainly did find it that way at first. I only got about 1 hit in my first 20 at bats and 1 in my first 40.

I figured with Lin, Stoudamire and Carmelo when I improved the team would be good. Early on I managed to get 5 rebound and 5 assist games. Recently my best one was 10 points, 8 rebounds and
