4.0 out of 5 stars
Why must the Xbox be forgotten, February 28, 2007
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Major League Baseball 2K7 (Video Game)
I must begin this review by saying I am an avid fan of the EA MVP Baseball series, and I am still getting over the fact that 2k took over the MLB license. I bought the NCAA game, enjoyed it greatly, but still missed my Pro team and recognizing the players. This game is a huge step up from last years release. The gameplay has improved and I love having my pro teams, but there are still some problems.
It looks like they did not improve on the graphics at all. Probably set aside because Xbox will be gone soon anyway. The announcers still call out errors that never happened or recap scenarios from earlier in the game that never took place. It can get annoying when almost everyone has been "thrown out at second trying to extend the single to a double."
At this point though, I am happy with the game. I like having my pro team back, and it is only a matter of time before I turn it all in for the 360. It is definitely worth the 29.00 for the game.

Its not MVP baseball, April 10, 2007
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Major League Baseball 2K7 (Video Game)
This was my first year purchasing the MLB 2k series. I am hugely disapointed with my purchase. Yes the graphics are better, Yes the computer A.I. is smarter, and yes I love the new trading block system. But this game is one of the least user friendly games I have ever played.
In order to save while in franchise mode you must save your profile, franchise settings(if modified), Lineup, and season. It takes forever. It extremely difficult to create a player and add him to your team. As for the game mode: there no radar gun for pitchers so you have no idea how hard your pitcher is throwing. The fielding controls are a joke. The batting is the one aspect that's not bad, but once you reach base its a pain in the but to steal a base. Everytime I tried the runner left to early and was picked off by the pitcher. I have always played the EA sports MVP series and this is a huge downgrade from that series. I'm 24 years old and feel like a [...]trying to figure out the controls for this game.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Lousy pitching interface..., April 10, 2007
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Major League Baseball 2K7 (Video Game)
I rented this game before buying and I'm glad I did! Graphically nice, but as another reviewer said, "Often the commentary does not match the gameplay". Also, I found the pitching interface to be confusing. Maybe I am just stupid, but I did not enjoy this game at all. The opposing batters hit almost everything I threw at them, and there were many in the park homeruns. Pathetic. The EA MVP series was much, much, better and I am sorry to see 2K take over the fanchise. I haven't played the Xbox360 version, but I am not prepared to pay that much for a "game" machine.
