Wow, this game is incredible. I read on IGN that they gave it a 7.9/10. I don't know what game they're reviewing, because this game is fantastic. I might even say that MLB 2K7 on the Xbox 360 is the best sports game I've ever played on any console. I play mostly sports games, and this one has blown me away.

The graphics are possibly the best I've seen. They do use a little too much of the blur effect on the stadium when a batter walks to the plate, but I can live with that. The faces, animations, and stadiums all look ultra-realistic. When I can see individual skin pores on the face of Travis Hafner (I'm an Indians fan), I'm extremely impressed. You have to see this game to believe it, the visuals are great. The only downside to the graphics are the hideous crowd members. These people still look like they're caught in the PS2 or Xbox, oh well. I'm not really looking at the crowd when I'm playing the game, so I don't really care.

The audio is great. I love the combination of Jon Miller and Joe Morgan. They might get repetitive eventually (like EVERY other sports game), but they don't annoy me when they're repetitive. They still accurately talk about the action on the field, it's just they're side-talk that gets repetitive. The menu music isn't great, but it's a lot better than previous versions. Also, the sounds of the bat, crowd, ball hitting the glove, and all other game-related sounds are fantastic. I feel like I'm watching a game on TV.

The gamplay is phenomenal. The controls are very smooth and responsive, I don't have a problem with them at all. This is the best controlling baseball game I've ever played, right up there with MVP 2005 and MLB '06: The Show. For anybody to complain about the gameplay of this game, they would have to be nitpicking to the extreme. "My runner hesitates for 1/4 second when he's rounding a bag." He's probably making sure it's safe to go. Honestly, anybody who complains about this game at all is [...], and looking for the smallest faults.

Overall, this is the sports game of the year, and one of (if not THE) best sports titles ever. I am extremely impressed with it, and I had high hopes. Just as a note, I bought this game for my Dad on the PS3, and he was instantly hooked. He has pretty much just played Tiger Woods and college football throughout the years. He loves this game, and has put his Tiger Woods to the side. If you've even thought about buying this game, you should do it whenever you have the money for it. I love it.

First "next-gen" baseball game

I picked this gem up on release day after playing the demo from xbox live. I've started a season and have played 4 games so far. I must say that it's overall solid and the first decent baseball game for any system since MVP Baseball 2005. Although I think the Xbox 360 can push far better graphics, the visuals are still impressive. The gameplay is good however doesn't advance the genre.

Here are my impressions starting with the not-so-good:
-"blurring" effects overdone a bit
-minor slowdown at weird times
-fielding far from perfect
-some occasional camera issues

And the good:
-most character models are fantastic
-the best announcing for any sports game PERIOD
-lot of attention to detail from player's batting stances to reactions to different situations (ie. striking out looking, getting hit by pitch, giving up a home run)
-great presentation
-good music for a sports game
-roster updates coming every month after start of baseball season (online)
-It's fun!!

On a 10 point scale (10 being the best), I'd give the game an 8.5. The game has some minor issues here and there but it doesn't hurt the gameplay too much. The positives make up for its flaws easily. Even Gears of Wars has its flaws. I'd definitely recommend this game.

MVP 2005 Baseball fans will like this game. A major improvement!!

A major improvement over the 2k6 game. The game play is much better. And the skybox features are great. Many of the features I liked in MVP Baseball 2005 are now in this game. Jon Miller and Joe Morgan do a better job of calling the game. A much better job. All I can say is 2ksports has won me over.

Huge fan of 2k5 and below...Hated 2k6...Love 2k7

Let me start off by saying that I have been a huge 2K baseball fan since the days of Dreamcast. The year 2006 (2k6) was a big disappointment for this game and since I have crossed my fingers that it was a on time blunder. I am convinced it is after playing 2k7. Not to say that there are no differences between 2k5 (not a typo) and 2k7. However they are negligible. This game is a little different and will take some getting use to but the differences in my opinion are for the better. I have always been a fun factor 1st as well as(the depth of content stats etc) and graphics 2nd. 2k7 gives you the customizing ability that allows you to play the game like it's predecessors. The pitching interface is awesome and is just as challenging as hitting now. I still prefer the button swing over the swing stick though I haven't gave the stick a chance. Franchise is back and so far ten times better. With options that allow you raise concessions and ticket prices similar to Madden. Still lacks as far as the minor league is concerned. one reviewer had mentioned that there were no more speed bursts for base running or fielding but it is in the options. For people who like a realistic baseball game this is a buyer.

AWESOME Major Improvement from 2K6

I am really enjoying this game! This has to be the best baseball game designed so far. Major improvement from 2K6 last year. Some minor adjustments needed though. For example, not enough camera angles. Some players are not realistic. Like El D pitcher on the Mets do not have his high leg kick when he pitch. But overall this is a excellent game.

This game is one of the best baseball games I have ever played. 2K7 did a fantastic job with the details of the players and they seem very realisitic. The ballparks look very realistic. I actually felt like I was at Yankee Stadium playing this game. The graphics are beautiful and the play is a lot of fun. I would recommend this game for young kids as well as older adults. My son is eleven and he has already beaten me a few times. This game is hot!

Baseball at its finest!

I was a little scared to purchase this title because I've been burned by almost every baseball game I've ever played. They've all been so complicated and over thought that I can't even get a base hit nevertheless win a game. Fortunately 2K decided to release this title! I love the camera angles, the pitching system, the batter's eye (it's like a built-in mini-game), the team customization, etc. This game hit a homerun in my book! Happy gaming!!!

Huge upgrade from 2k6!!

The game has amazing in-game features this year, and the levels of difficulty help you adapt to the style. A lot of the features are the same, with Career and Franchise mode being very capable of whatever you want. The Create-a-player feature is very much improved and so is batting.
The best improvement is with pitching, and the AI is phenomenal. Definitely buy this game!

This is by far one of the best sports games I own. I can't put it down. The graphics are great...the stadiums look realistic...the players look realistic. There are so many options available. In season mode, you can call-up and send-down players, contract issues, have team meetings to increase morale. The play on Easy is a little rediculous. About every other homer I hit the Outfielder jumps over the wall and robs it. Pro takes a bit to get used to...but it's more realistic. Only con's I have is that it tends to freeze for me sometimes...usually in the 9th inning when I'm making a rally...but I am in Iraq and there's lots of dust around, so that might be it. Also, baserunning is still pretty poor. Some might like the new feature of using the RS to start your step and then swing. Tho, I stopped using it and went to classic push button style, I'm sure for some, this is a great new feature. I just like simply pushing the button. I like how you can pick the different alternate uniforms, but I wish you can pick the other teams uniforms too before you play them...like in NCAA football 2007.
