Major League Baseball 2K7 Previews

"A handful of quirks keep it from being great, but MLB 2K7 is an improvement over MLB 2K6 in nearly every way, and it's a very solid baseball game."

GameSpot »

"Major League Baseball 2K7 has plenty of different modes to explore, from your franchise, season mode, and GM options to a variety of different home run derbies. The old standbys are here as well, like unlockable games of darts, shuffleboard, and a simplistic baseball trivia game. The best reason to pick up this game isn't in the extra content that it delivers over 2K6, which was itself a feature-rich game, but instead in that your money will be well spent on what is a much better looking and playing version of baseball than what was presented last year."

"Other features from the previous game, like Franchise mode and GM Career mode, have gotten minor tweaks as well. For instance, Franchise mode has received a visual makeover (which kind of looks like "Franchise for Windows"), with pulldown menus and information broken out in a more visually segmented way. GM Career mode, on the other hand, now has a low level economic system, where players will set ticket prices and handle other promotional aspects of a club. Plus, for those GMs that want to take on competition, online league play will be available for players to test their skills."

"Last year, MLB 2K6 was hamstrung by fielding and baserunning issues that hampered play. This year, some of those problems were addressed in MLB 2K7, but others have cropped up to replace them: Odd fielding choices, hesitation steps around bases and tons of slowdown that randomly assaults the game. That's also excluding the un-updated rosters, repetitive dialogue and other issues that crop up. 2K7 is still fun, but a number of its issues hamper the enjoyment of this title."

"If you’re one of those people that was disappointed by last year’s baseball offerings, you should run out and buy MLB 2K7 right now. It looks and sounds excellent, and the gameplay is as entertaining as it is challenging. There are some bugs here and there, but I haven’t seen anything that would ruin anyone’s enjoyment of the game. We would have liked to have seen a bit more innovation this time out (the gameplay is a lot like last year’s game), but the mechanics in place already worked well, so we’re not surprised that 2K decided against reinventing the wheel. We're happy to report that 2K Sports' Boys of Summer are back in fine form."
