I had that other baseball game (2K7) but did not like the out of focus look. For example when you are at the plate, the stands in the outfield are blurry and out of focus. I hated that so much that I sold the game right away. That also happens when the camera is on the batter. In that case, the fans in the stands to the sides and back of home plate are very blurry looking. I know that happens in real games but it looked dumb in a video game and should have been left out.
Compared to 2K7, MLB The Show has better graphics, better animations and an a very adequate play-by-play team. It was easy to get into the game play also. I only played a couple of games but I liked what I saw heard and liked the control scheme. A couple of things bugged me though. First, I once had MLB 05 on the PS2 and when you hit a home run, you would get fireworks and/or animation from objects like the rising apple in NY, the swinging bell in Philly or the rotating pin wheels and fireworks in White Sox Park (I know it's Cellular Field but I prefer to call it White Sox Park). In the PS3 version, I didn't see any of that and was very dissapointed. How can they have it in a lesser version and not include it in the latest generation machine's software. Did someone forget to put it in? It takes some of the fun out of hitting home runs. Also, the AI (artificial intelligence) can be suspect. I had a man on third and a ball was hit to the first baseman. Instead of trying to cut down the runner at the plate, he instead ran to touch first base to get the hitter and then threw to home. As a result the run scored when it should have been contested. I've heard of other like mistakes and while no video game yet has proved to be perfect those are mistakes that should have been corrected in testing.
The crowd in this game looks great from every angle and is the best looking crown in any major sports video game. I read promotional material that said the crowd would interact by going for foul balls but that must have not made the final cut as I didn't see any instance where that happened. I hope they put back the fireworks and animations for home runs and implement the interactive crowd animation for chasing foul balls in next years game. Otherwise between this and the only other game in town (2K7), I would pick MLB The Show 07 for the PS3.Read more ›
As a ridiculously avid baseball fan I've always been pretty picky about my baseball games. I never even considered buying anything but EA sports. Unfortunately EA no longer makes MLB games. After recently purchasing a PS3 and being faced with the decision between MLB 2k7 and MLB "The Show" I began looking into features and gameplay video. I can honestly tell you w/o a doubt there is NO comparison whatsoever between the 2 games. "The Show" even has me saying..."wow, EA never had that". I mean everything you can dream up about being at the ballpark is in "MLB 07". A special mention is the career mode. Design your own player facial hair, batting stance, and pick your stadium intro music. Then try to survive spring training for a shot at playing your favorite position for your favorite team. Fail and its back to AAA with you or worse....(Yes,there are tons of playable AAA teams) Also worth mention is the announcing and graphics, both top notch for any sports game on the market. If you are a Baseball nut w/ a PS3 this is the one.
1) Too many home runs hit by the CPU (even by lowering the sliders they still hit opposite field home runs with ease) 2) Bullpen pitchers can go 3 innings every time (in back to back games you see the same reliever go 2 and 3 innings without being tired, I have to switch controls every time to take them out) 3) If you are hitting and want to warm up a pitcher the game freezes (when I am going to do this option the game freezes when I am warming the relievers up, I have to turn off the game and start AGAIN!)
Now, with the Pros of the game:
1) You can choose CPU Roster Control and still have injuries during a season (Finally! You can fix other teams rosters and have injuries at the same time, from 2009 to the present that option is removed) 2) Create a Player is deep (not so deep as the recent MLB the Shows but the faces (over 20) and batting and pitching styles are deep for 2007. If they only fixed the option for you to put how many service years they have instead of having them all be Rookies) 3) Gameplay is easy 4) They included various rookies who had yet made the Majors (Delmon Young, Kevin Cameron, Pedroia, etc) 5) It is fun (I found myself hooked on this one than in other years, namely 2013!)
Overall, the game is very good, very advanced for its year.
After playing this game I can say for sure that there is no reason to buy 2k's baseball game if you own a PS3 (or even a PS2 for that matter). The graphics on this are so much better on the PS3 than 2k7 and gameplay is so much more natural. If you've played this on PS2, the PS3 version plays exactly the same so there is no transition to worry about. I can say for sure that this is the best baseball game on the market.
I just bought a playstation III machine and my sons, 10 and 6 want to play it all the time. the graphics on this game are fantastic. they were playing it (I have a sony hd tv) and their grandmother thought it was a live game on tv! they seem to have alot of fun. they play it quite abit and I hear them shouting and having alot of fun. they don't do that with their other games. I don't play it. but I have to give this a high rating because I see my son's having a blast!
I bought a PS 3 and since I love baseball games I knew I had to buy one, I had the standard pick between MLB 2K7 and MLB 07' The Show. I choose The Show for no reason other than it was the first one I put my hands on, after I got it home and ogled about how great the graphics look I started to really play it and look at it. That is where the fun stopped, after I was done being wowed by the graphics. My biggest complaint is with the pitching set up, I am a meter guy... I like using the meter to throw my pitches. I didn't have any problems in 07 The Show on my PS 2, it would seem that when they ported it.. they took the pitching meter, tweaked it and made it ultra sensitive. If you don't stop the backswing of the meter right on the line (or really, really close to it)... well you might as well forget it.. it is a ball. Even if you manage to stop it right on the line sometimes it is a ball. Another gripe with the pitching, when you line up your pitch in this game... you are setting up the break point... not the finishing point. So unless you have played through it a million times and know EXACTLY how each pitcher's pitches break.. you are going to be throwing a lot of balls.. A LOT OF BALLS. It would also seem to me that the computer seems to play perfect ball even on the easiest setting and you are left playing not so perfect ball. Basically this title was a lot frustration than it was worth in my opinion but it was still somewhat fun and the graphics are amazing!!
