Say hello to the new boss, he's the same as the old. MLB 2K7 is nothing out of the ordinary, just a solid baseball game.

User Rating: 7.8 | Major League Baseball 2K7 X360
MLB 2K7 is a graphically nicer version of MLB 2K6, besides for the rosters being updated their isn't much different with it. The game has a lot of different features which you can pick from including Season, Franchise, Manager Mode. A long with some not so great mini games.

Season is exactly what you would expect you play a season as the team of your choice, you pick who's in and who is out. You play baseball in season, what a person that chooses season would expect.

For people like me that like to do Franchise MLB 2K7 is a bit of a dissapointment with EA MLB games franchise was very immersive. You could alter the prices of food, concessions have give away days and do many other things. In MLB 2K7 the only thing money wise you can control is the price of tickets.

Of course you can bring people from AAA up and put other people down. Negoitate trades, everything you would expect from a baseball sim. But nothing more.

Gameplay is pretty simple, 2K sports is still trying to sell the hitstick but I prefer just pressing the A button which is an option to do in the game. IThe diving and wall climbing are very straight forward they tell you when you have an option to dive or wall climb and you decide if you want to take the risk. Their is no self judgement calls when it comes down to diving which on one hand can save you some errors but on the other takes the excitment away from making a webgem play.

If players bump into each other they fall down but this is not seen while turning a double play. In Major league baseball 05 (by EA) you the runner had a chance of knocking the SS or 2nd basemen turning the double play off his feet by a slide. This is not in MLB 2K7 as a player will slide right through another player. Sometimes the player pretends to jump but it's not done very well.

Pitching is immersive, the longer you hold down the pitch button the more powerful your pitch becomes but the harder it is to hit the spot you are aiming for.

Hitting is a little to easy, homeruns are never shy in a game.

Difficulty is way to varied, it is either very easy or very hard, foruntaley they have a manual difficulty thing to do but that can get complicated.

Graphically MLB 2K7 is very good. The player models match the players and everything is polished from 2K6

Sound: The announcers (Joe Brown and someone else) are very good and make you feel like you're in a real ball game. Value: If you like baseball sims and want to add onto your collection this is a solid (and only) game.
