IncredibleFeb 28, 2007
By Me
Wow, this game is incredible. I read on IGN that they gave it a 7.9/10. I don't know what game they're reviewing, because this game is fantastic. I might even say that MLB 2K7 on the Xbox 360 is the best sports game I've ever played on any console. I play mostly sports games, and this one has blown me away.

The graphics are possibly the best I've seen. They do use a little too much of the blur effect on the stadium when a batter walks to the plate, but I can live with that. The faces, animations, and stadiums all look ultra-realistic. When I can see individual skin pores on the face of Travis Hafner (I'm an Indians fan), I'm extremely impressed. You have to see this game to believe it, the visuals are great. The only downside to the graphics are the hideous crowd members. These people still look like they're caught in the PS2 or Xbox, oh well. I'm not really looking at the crowd when I'm playing the game, so I don't really care.

The audio is great. I love the combination of Jon Miller and Joe Morgan. They might get repetitive eventually (like EVERY other sports game), but they don't annoy me when they're repetitive. They still accurately talk about the action on the field, it's just they're side-talk that gets repetitive. The menu music isn't great, but it's a lot better than previous versions. Also, the sounds of the bat, crowd, ball hitting the glove, and all other game-related sounds are fantastic. I feel like I'm watching a game on TV.

The gamplay is phenomenal. The controls are very smooth and responsive, I don't have a problem with them at all. This is the best controlling baseball game I've ever played, right up there with MVP 2005 and MLB '06: The Show. For anybody to complain about the gameplay of this game, they would have to be nitpicking to the extreme. "My runner hesitates for 1/4 second when he's rounding a bag." He's probably making sure it's safe to go. Honestly, anybody who complains about this game at all is [...], and looking for the smallest faults.

Overall, this is the sports game of the year, and one of (if not THE) best sports titles ever. I am extremely impressed with it, and I had high hopes. Just as a note, I bought this game for my Dad on the PS3, and he was instantly hooked. He has pretty much just played Tiger Woods and college football throughout the years. He loves this game, and has put his Tiger Woods to the side. If you've even thought about buying this game, you should do it whenever you have the money for it. I love it.

disappointingApr 27, 2007
By Matthew E. Diehl
I loved EA games. Even the old 989 sports PS1 game was fun. This game. Yes fun, pitching is awesome. now the bad parts

BASERUNNING - Baseburner mode is worthless. I just do the steal command as i get picked off everytime

LACK of PERSONALIZATION - There needs to be a game where you can "create" a stadium from scratch and give it whatever dimensions you want, wall size, etc

DOUBLES OR TRIPLES? i've got guys with 75 speed ratings getting nailed at 2nd on balls to the deep gap. i have 1 triple in 2 months of playing

THROW STRENGTH? i hit the button, it throws to the base, where is the accuracy and power meter? fielding used to be fun on MVP 2005

BASERUNNING AGAIN! controlling your runners in this game is an awful mess. I try to get a guy to go home from second on a clean single, and he goes back to second base, very cumbersome indeed.

DIFFICULTY SETTINGS i have to go custom, as each level is either too easy, or the computer hits ever pitch out of the stadium

ONE MORE JUMPING CATCH AND I'M THROWING IT AGAINST THE WALL: I've been robbed of 472 home runs in the last 2 months.. joking, but you get my point

I could go on, but really what is the point. I've been playing baseball games since 1988. This game for the capabilities of the X-Box 360 is annoying. They need to talk to me to develop a game. Yet i still play this game, as there are no other games on 360. stupid..

MLB2K7 is ninety-percent great. The other half could use some work.Mar 27, 2007
By James L
Major League Baseball 2K7 is an extremely entertaining game of baseball on the XBox 360, and a vast improvement upon the 2K6 edition. However, there are a handful of moderately serious issues that might caution against purchasing this title. The good well outweighs the bad in this game, but you should be aware of the bad points before purchasing.

The good parts of MLB2K7 are very good. First and foremost, this is a *beautiful* game. Every time someone walks into the room when I'm playing this game, they almost immediately comment on the amazing graphics. The jerseys ripple in the wind, you can see individual grains of dirt on the diamond, and the minor details of player's swings, struts, and general look are all done to perfection. It's hard to imagine a better looking game of baseball. Getting past the visuals, however, the actual game is quite good too. The pitching system is intuitive and really feels like an accurate representation of the way the game works--you aim your pitch, and the harder you attempt to throw it, the more difficult it becomes to hit your target. You'll even notice that depending on your catcher's "Call Game" rating, they may give you better or worse ideas of what pitches to throw and where. Batting also works quite well, although it does take a lot of getting used to. Players use the right analog stick to step back at the release of the pitch, and then either let go of the stick for a contact swing, or slam it forward for a power swing. It takes quite a while to get the timing right, but once you do, it truly does feel great when you slam that stick forward and lift a hanging curve up out of the stadium. Finally, season, franchise, and GM career modes all give the game the kind of replayability that allows you to get months of enjoyment out of this game. There's a lot of good stuff to keep you busy here for months.

However, as good as this game is, there are a couple of fairly serious flaws. First, fielding. It's really awkward. It's often very difficult to avoid overrunning the ball or slamming face-first into the fence, leading to frustrating results as your opponent rounds the bases while your fielder attempts to regain his feet. The cutoff throw system is particularly wonky--players frequently ignore your command to cut off a throw from the outfield, or the cutoff man stands in a terribly useless position to take away all the benefits of the cutoff in the first place. The other major issue is general buggyness. Right now, for me, the game is broken, and from scouring internet forums, it's clear I'm not the only one with these problems. After playing/simulating the 162 games of my first season in career mode, the game cannot make it to the playoffs. My 360 hangs when simming the final day of the season, every time. Apparently for other users this has happened as early as 15 games into a season. This is an unacceptable error, but hopefully 2KSports will patch this through XBox Live sometime soon. Until then, be sure to try to simulate your season through to the playoffs to make sure it's not corrupted before you make this commitment.

While there are a couple of serious flaws in this game, overall it's quite a bit of fun. While fielding isn't great, hitting and pitching are a lot of fun, and the career modes are deep and enjoyable (assuming they work, which is admittedly a bit iffy). This game is definitely worth checking out for any baseball fan, and of course, for the 360, it's your only choice. But given the quality of the game, that's not such a bad thing.

Fun, but Complicated Game PlayMar 16, 2007
By allismile0 "allismile0"
I've been loyal to the 2k baseball franchise for quite some time. In fact last year was the first time I didn't get the new version. Throughout the history of this game franchise they have continually tried to make updates that would keep people coming back for more. Some years have been superb, others complete and utter failures. Sometimes they've gotten rid of some really great features.

2K7, is a pretty good version. I can't compare it to last years but I can say it is the most difficult version that I've played so far. Perhaps other people have had more success at hitting, but I think it's pretty easy to strike out in this game and harder to to hit it in the gaps for a double or a triple. It's a tad frustrating, but I haven't entirely gotten used to the hitting stick and I think the "classic" style (where you just press "A") is a little boring and not interactive enough (2k5 had a really fun classic version that was a lot more technical). A decent amount of this can be relatively resolved if you tweak the "sliders" in the difficulty section of the menu. Also, the drag bunt is a great new feature.

One major improvement is that when you're pitching the computer player will actually chase pitches outside of the strike zone and even get fool by the speed or spin as well. In the older games I got lucky if I struck out 5 with Randy Johnson pitching.

A negative issue with the game is the speed of the actual game. I wish there was a hurry-up feature like they've had in previous versions. It takes a good 40 minutes to play one 9 inning game, and that's with all the replays and cut scenes deactivated. On the older versions it was possible to make it so a game could be done in half the time.

One thing I really miss that I think was on the 2K4 version was that in the franchise version if you got bored you could play in alternative stadiums including some of the classics like the Polo Grounds or Ebbets Field.

This might be nitpicking for some, but I think the roster updates are very poor this year. There are so many players that are not on the correct teams or just plain missing. Where's Sammy Sosa? He signed a contract with the Rangers in mid January. The two new Japanese imports Daisuke Matsuzaka of the Red Sox and Akinori Iwamura of the Devil Rays are cloaked under fictional names but with the same initials and characteristics. And once again no Barry Bonds (that's more Barry's own doing). Oh and Ichiro, he's got a last name- Suzuki. He's not Sting! Of course all of this can be corrected and saved if it's important enough to you.

One other issue of poor programming that has been on the 2K baseball series for a few years is that when you are playing the franchise version of the game, the other teams will make line-ups that make no sense and send someone like Derek Jeter to the minors in favor of someone with half of his rating!

The game play announcing is pretty good with Jon Miller and Joe Morgan but they're comments are pretty much the same as 2K5's and like before they are always a few steps behind the actual game play.

For a game on Xbox360 I'm not terribly impressed by the graphics. At times the players still look a little unnatural and "blockish". They have done a great job improving on the "haziness" of the light, giving a much more bright glare of the sun.

Overall, I think the game is fun and absorbing. But the prices of these games are crazy! I recommend getting it used- there are some games out there that are worth their weight in gold (which is how I think they decided on the prices), 2k7 is not one of them. But it's still a lot of fun.

The completed version of 2k6-sort ofMar 01, 2007
By RedSoxRock
OK first, this game is basically 2k6 with all the glitches fixed. there are no new game features, aside from a little polish in the GM mode (set ticket prices and a cool league news ticker). so if you're hoping they FINALLY got around to stuff like expansion teams, rule 5 drafts, 3 way trades, you're out of luck, wait till next year and hope.

gameplay has improved. the interfaces for batting and hitting are the same. pitches come at you a bit quicker, and the whole hitting experience is more realistic. whereas you could just swing away all the time in 2k6, plate discipline is important in 2k7. pitching is still outstanding.

baserunning and fielding have both been marginally improved. they eliminated the sprint feature in baserunning, which is really annoying. now all you can do is sit back and watch your guy run-you can no longer help him out. fielding is smoother, but at the same time your fielders have to be perfectly positioned-if the ball's hit just slightly to your left or right, instead of reaching for it, the fielder just lets it go by.

graphics are the main point of this game-they're spectacular. walking into a room and seeing someone play this, you'd probably at first think they were watching a game on TV. signature styles are very well done. overall, 11/10 for graphics-awesome job!

the one thing about the game that really annoys me is something very characteristic of the 2k series-a blatant disregard for minor leaguers/prospects. minor league depth has never been great, but this year, you've got your mlb club, only a couple real minor leaguers, a bunch of made up guys, and thats it. the lack of depth outside the 25 man mlb roster is astonishing-you'd think they could at least get the top prospects in there, as well as some veteran minor leaguers. but no.

if you're a baseball and video game fan, its worth the money in my opinion. graphics are breathtaking and gameplay is improved. just don't expect any off-the-field improvements.
