Do not purchase this item unless you know absolutley nothing about baseball. Two stadiums, no season play, can not shift infield or outfield, cannot dive for a ball and the graphics are circa colecovision. I was fortunte I was able to return this product. It is a shame, the DS offered so much potential for a baseball game and now we will have to wait who know's how many years for a new game.

I would have been happy if they would have re released Triple Play for the Genesis.

THIS IS WHAT I'D LIKE TO SAY (what I expected):
Great Graphics
Great sound
Alot of options to do
MORE THAN 2 STADIUMS!



This is the truth:
I just bought 2k7 cuz Im a baseball nut. I thoought It would be good. Boy was I wrong. The options of what to do are post season game (It'd be nice to play a regular season first), allstar game, home run derby, playoffs and multiplayer. Everyone says there's only one stadium but there is acually 2, when you use an ALLSTAR team u get another stadium. You can't sign players, and the homerun derby lets you hit homers every pitch (I HIT 17 BEFORE GETTING OUT WITH A-ROD!!!) I win every game about 27 to one and they hit A TON of homeruns. It's easy to get 80 hits per game for your team and I've cracked 120 hits about six times! The swing for the .000 hitter is bigger than the one for the .150 hitter. ITS RETARDED!!!


OVERALL MLB 2k7 IS A VAGUE, CRUDDY LOOKING PIECE OF JUNK!!!!!!!!!!

absolutely horrible. think of a poor man's rbi baseball(nes). the speed and play-action is out of whack. the fielding arrangement is silly. there are too many problems to list, but the reviews below do a good job in getting us started. i'm a huge baseball fan and only have the ds and gamecube systems. the gamecube doesn't offer a baseball game this year. but i will be selling this on ebay and go back to playing the 05 mvp on gamecube. thanks, mlb, for your restrictive licensing. the result is one(and only one)crappy product.

..if even that.

If this game was priced at $10, then I'd say go for it and purchase it. Not for $20, no way. And shame on the game producers for even releasing this. Here's why:

-No save feature: Given that this is a handheld system, a 'save at any time' would have been nice. Instead, you are forced into 9 long innings of hell.

-Game play: In trying to time pitches right, sometimes an early swing would connect with the ball even though it was waaay off. Pitching is horrid. Pick a corner, any pitch, and the moron at the plate should strike out.

-Graphics: Where oh where do I begin with this one? If there are base runners advancing, the top screen shows them "running". To me, it looked like blurry, spastic birds. They did, however, manage to get the player's name, number and race correct. But, some slightly heavier players (Prince Fielder for example) was all skinny. Holy super inaccurate. Way to research those players!

-No season play? Come on. That's what baseball is all about. Give me a full season (or maybe half of one) and THEN the opportunity to compete in post-season. Not right off the bat (no pun) to enter into the playoffs. LAME!

I am sorry for losing $20 to this game. Oh well. I shall wait for Nintendo to put out, hopefully, a more thought out, fan-friendly game.

Oh, and seeing Derek Jeter's face everywhere didn't help either.

Go BREWERS!

The first foray for a baseball game carrying the MLB license on the DS is here with Major League Baseball 2K7, and it should have either spent much more time in development or just should have never been made period. The first thing you'll notice is the lack of options when you first turn on the game. You'd think a sports game in this day and age would include a season mode, not to mention the ability to trade and release players, sign free agents, and a create a player option too. Well, you get none of that here. Instead, you get to jump into the playoffs, play an exhibition game, and play Home Run Derby. These missing features wouldn't be so bad if the game itself wasn't so annoying to look at, let alone play. Graphically speaking, the DS can pump out some decent looking 3-D graphics that while not perfect, show off what the system can do. MLB 2K7 looks like it just jumped off the Genesis when you squint, and looks even worse when you don't. Not to mention that all the teams have no differences in terms of uniforms (how can the Yankees not have pinstripes? Blasphemy!). Maybe this wouldn't be so bad either if the game actually played like baseball is supposed to be played, the AI controled team mates and opponents behaved like they should, and the controls weren't incoherently buggy. Yeah, if you can't tell by now, MLB 2K7 is easily one of, if not the, worst games you'll find on the DS. If you're thinking about picking it up, remember, there is a reason why it's budget priced. Avoid at all costs.

My first indication that this wasn't going to be a great game was the lack of any kind of season mode/trading/etc. I grudgingly accepted that, due to the limitations of a portable cartridge-based game. Maybe it would be a fun pick-up-and-play game. Nope.

The pitcher and batter both move like they're in slow motion. There are maybe 8-10 passed balls/wild pitches per game. Half the time, the AI fielders wait until a ball hits the ground before they start to chase it. The AI runners almost always wait for a ball to hit the ground before they start to run (and the baserunning in general is pretty moronic). Half of the opposing team's outs are ground balls to the pitcher. Fielding is disorienting, and there are no dives/leaps/etc. Curve balls break like 10 feet.

The only positive thing I can say is that the graphics are decent for a handheld. This game isn't really worth purchasing at any price.

By FAR the worst baseball video game I've ever played. There's really no excuse. It looks like one of the games from the original NES, except without the enjoyable gameplay.

Don't waste your time or your money.

Warning, the game you are thinking about buying is NOT a game. At least is should'nt be. I have never seen such butchering of baseball or video games. I have been playing games for 20 years now and have never seen a peice of junk like this. I have played better on the SNES! Well here is the review...

-PROS-
N/A

-CONS-
* No season mode
* Bad players are good, good players are bad
* Will not remind you of America's favorite pasttime
* Everybody looks the same
* BAD gameplay
* When a pitching change is made, for example, a righty stays a righty even if you bring in a lefty.
* You have to swing way before you can tell what the pitch is
* It has Derek Jeter on the cover

So to sum it all up, DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!

if you do, buy two of them. one to s*it on and one to cover it up with.

No season play, no uniforms, HHOORRIIBBBLLE GRAFIX... you can barely do anything @ all. *********WARNING:********* DONT BUY THIS STUPID GAME!!!! EVERYBODY LOOKS THE SAME - A BUNCH OF CLONES!!!

If you play it a lot, you will get the hang of it and then start having fun. The playoffs are harder than the regular games. The umpires make bad calls sometimes which is frustrating. It might be best for someone who is 9 years or older.
