I have been a MVP baseball fan for sometime now mostly on the computer with 2005. So I wasn't happy when MVP decided not to make a new one after that. Then came 2K7 this game came with my PS3 and all I can say is that it is awsome. Wireless control is great it is fun to move the controler to swing the bat, and pitching is diffcult without being impossible. The only thing I would like to see is 1080i instead of 720p and optical sound output. Other then that a great game and lots of fun.

Fun...

This game can be a little frustrating at first, BUT once you get the hang of it, it is very fun, ecspecially when playing a season. The graphics are pretty damn good and controls seem to be enjoyable and cooperative as long as you're not using the "six axis" form of batting. Fielding is pretty fun once you get the hang of it and batting is pretty simple. Some people say this game dosn't have all the "bells and whistles" that some other baseball games have, but if you like a good classic baseball game with a just a few fun bonus's like homerun derby, trivia, air hockey, trophies and awards, and that's about it than this is the baseball game for you.

Take me to the ballgame...

This was a fun baseball game. The game controls is what made it more fun because it was different. you actually move the controller to control certain functions.

Too complicated to play!!!

Very hard to play , sixaxis mode doesn't work very well, very hard to run with man on bases. No recomended for baseball players beginers.

Beautiful game, but the fun? Not so much.

So..... I rented this game. I am glad I did. If you are considering buying this game, I STRONGLY recommend renting it first. Perhaps I'll be wrong and you'll love it.. but if you don't like it you saved yourself a ton of cash.

First, the good:

The game looks great. It takes advantage of the ps3 hardware and really make it feel alive. I had someone replacing the tile walk by a few times, and he didn't notice it was a game until the 3rd time he walked by.

The voice overs are very well done. They are meshed well to sound like real comments being made by announcers. As you play it more, they will get a bit repetitive, but they still did a pretty good job here.

The Bad:

The Gameplay!!!!

Okay, on to the specifics.

The batting interface with the Sixaxis controller sucks. It is hard to see where a ball is heading ahead of time unless you get lucky with the batter's eye and as a result most will take lots of swings at balls that are nowhere close. It can also get somewhat tiring constantly shoving the controller out.. and you will do it pretty hard if you want to hit homers.

Speaking of home runs.. wow. I guess the game assumes EVERYONE is on steroids, but good lord it is easy to knock it out of the park. Tilt the controller back, time it right, and boom.. gone. This is balanced out by the cpu robbing you frequently and knocking it out of the park all the time itself. Maybe I am remembering baseball wrong.. but I don't remember people hitting home runs 3-4 times a game.

On the subject of robbing: This is the part that just got to me the most because it was so ridiculous. Here was the final straw for me: game 7 of the world series: down by 1, bottom of the 9th, 1 man on. There are 2 outs and the count is 1-2. I got a good line on the ball coming in and CRACK, GONE!! oh wait, the fielder climbs on the fence AGAIN and robs you of your home run AGAIN. This might be disheartening once, but when this is the FOURTH TIME that game that you were robbed of a home run it is just plain ridiculous.

Finally: base management. Stealing bases and moving your people around the bases after a hit is NOT easy. It is doable, but it is a major pain and mistakes are easy to make.

Overall, this was an okay game. But the gameplay.. especially the constant robbing of home runs just ruins it. My blood pressure was higher playing this game than any other game I've played before and I was ordered to take it back by my girlfriend before I broke the controller. Some might enjoy it, but you might want to experience the ridiculousness of the game itself as a rental first before forking over the cash to buy it.

MVP Baseball '05 ......It Is NOT! But..............

MVP Baseball' 05 by EASPORTS, It Is NOT! And that's sad because that was and still is the best game for baseball on the PC or any system going.

But MLB 2k7 is a very beautiful game to look at in HD, for that I give it 5 stars. It has a lot going for it in the visual/audio department,great graphics,ballparks,edit screens,sound(annoucers:Miller and Morgan) and plenty of team eye candy. But something is quite not right. MVP Baseball'05...It is NOT!

I quess I'm partial to MVP'05 and hate that EA lost it's hold on the ML rights to produce the game. So I'm some what bias, I quess. Here are a few things that I feel are negatives.


1.The fielding is semi automatic which is bad. You can't change it to allow the game to field for you.

2.There is no view from behind the pitcher IF YOU'RE AT BAT,

3.Limited camera views of balls hit,except in replays.(example: hr)

4.Pitching gauge is impossible on "Legend" difficult level to master in a game.

5.Bad manual

There are a lot of good things here about this game also which I don't feel like reviewing now, but later. I recommend renting this game before you buy it, if you're a MVP'05 fan.

gold glovers everywhere

Maybe it's just me, but i seems like every opponent I play against has nine gold glovers out there. If they aren't jumping over the fence to rob me of homeruns, they are diving to take away base hits. Somewhere Brooks Robinson and Willie Mays are smiling at my pixel generated adversaries. Still a fun game to play though.

Fun game but lots of quirks

I really enjoy the baseball games for console play. The obvious favorite of all time, for me, is the MVP series on PS2.

MLB2K7 is the first entry with the MLB license on the PS3 so I figured I'd give it a try.

First off the game play is fun and there are a lot of different ways to set the difficulty and options on how to pitch/hit/field. Initially I was skeptical on the fielding because the game will not allow you to set it to auto-field, but the fielding is much more forgiving then past "sim" type baseball games, so I adapted fairly quickly.

There are plenty of different types of games to play, HR Derby, Franchise, etc...I am a big fan of the Franchise type of play. Here, however, is where a bunch of small quirks really annoy me.

The season is fun to play but there is so much missing and/or hard to find that it causes quick irritation. Examples are:

1. There is no quick access to "League News". You have to wait until you get an e-mail message in order to access the typical league news type of info.

2. There really isn't any way to be the GM of your franchise other then setting ticket prices and signing/trading players. That's not much fun.

3. Saving the difficulty level for the AI doesn't work. Every time I change it and save the settings the next time I load them they are back to default. Ugh.

Anyway, I could go on, but if you're simply looking for a baseball game that is fun to play (on the field) I'd highly recommend this one. If you're looking for a game that has all the "bells and whistles", I'd say hold off for another year or try a different game.

Go With the 360 version

MLB 2K7 is a good game on both the PS3 and the Xbox 360, but the PS3 version pales in comparison to the 360 version. MLB 2K6 wasn't nearly as good as 2K7 on the 360, but, given a year of development, the 2K7 on 360 is simply put the best baseball game ever made. Maybe the same thing applies to the PS3 version of 2K baseball because the first version is comparable to the first version of 2K baseball on the 360. I would wait for MLB 2K8 to give Take Two some time to figure out how to develop on the PS3 if I were to get the game for PS3 or just go ahead and buy 2K7 on the 360 right now. Hope this helps.

its ok, but wait for The Show

The graphics in 2k7 are the best of any baseball game yet. All the ballparks are detailed almost perfectly & most of the players hit & throw like they really do.

However, the gameplay in this game is awful. Not only do the opposing players rob you of 2-3 home runs per game, but it is rediculously easy to win, and I prefer a challenging game. I am 12-1 in season mode so far, & I had one of my pitchers throw a no-hitter with 20 strikeouts. As you can tell by that last statement, the pitching in this game is way too easy.

So, wait a few weeks, buy The Show, and have a fun baseball experience with what looks to be great graphics (at least from the previews).
