Easily the worst baseball game I've played

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.

absolute garbage

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.

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.

REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD!

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!!!!!!!!!!

Don't Buy

This game would still be a rip off at $5. Graphics are so terrible it makes you think this game was put together by the 2k series team in less than a week. Gameplay is horrible, especially pitching. Best advice: DONT BUY!!!!!!

Not all bad

This game is alright but not great. It was frustrating at first but learned to play it a bit beter. A bad game? Not really. I didnt have a problem with the game, and I dont work for the company. I didnt grow up playing video games, I just play them on and off. Maybe thats way I didnt hate this game.

Disappointing

Unfortunately Major League Baseball 2k7 for the DS doesn't stack up. The graphics are poor, specifically the pitcher graphics are laughable. The gameplay is fairly week for pitchers and batters. And the lack of a regular season is an odd design choice that I just can't understand.

Overall, I would have prefered a port of the '95 World Series Baseball for the Game Gear over MLB 2K7 for the DS. Here is to hoping another choice comes to market before next year...

Rated this high because there are no other choices

I wasn't fooled by Derek's picture on the cover; I knew what I was getting into...the worst baseball game ever. Then why did I by it? It's baseball season and there is nothing out there now or seemingly on the horizon.
It's a pick up and play game and since you can't save, you can use it to fill in any old time spot you have in your calendar. The only reason to write is to offer a challenge...give us a worth while, sound baseball game. Feel free to charge $ 40.00.

Beyond bad

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.
