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.

Could not be any worse.....

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.

Fun for a minute ...

..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!

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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...

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.

one of the best

this is a great game.It has all the teams including the all-stars.It also has cool features like the home run derby and the play offs.This game is the funnest game ever.But why I gave 4 stars is because the game froze up when my ds was charging.But for $[...] this game is a great buy!!!!!
