MLB 2k7... worth buying?

[imirish06]

Is it as good as MVP? Or at least a hell of a lot better than 2k6?

[livethesounds]

dont know, cant rent it at blockbuster cause i dont have a "credit card" and nobody else has it for rent. the store i have more than 60$ credt at is the only place in town thats sold out.
i was pretty much not meant to play this game in the first week.

[xearlynovemberx]

i tried to rent it but everyone was out of it

[Scott Weber]

I just rented it today, it's good so far...it's no MVP 05 but it's a solid game so far.

[xearlynovemberx]

maybe another blockbuster has it haha

[The Matt Kaufman]

Im waiting for "The Show"

[livethesounds]

blockbuster is a peice of shit.

i never rent there, but i tried to get mlb2k7 there the other day and they told me they needed a credit card instead of a debit card (thats all i had). I showed them my card...and apparently i left it there somehow, must have been distracted when they told me the only way to rent games was to own a credit card, witch seems ludicous to me.
so i realize the cards gone today and there's a $311 charge on it. i think the mexican bitch that checked me out took it and used it.

haha, i did it with a debit card

[livethesounds]

what? those fuckers.

can i sue them for that or something. im so broke and so pissed right now. i cant go to San Antonio to party with my friends because i have no way of getting money until Monday.

[Scott Weber]

this game is fun, but it needs improvement. pitching is probably more fun than hitting at this point.

[livethesounds]

have you tried messing with the sliders?

as far as im concerned it can need a couple of improvements as long as its graphically stellar. and i hear it is.

I don't think it's THAT great graphically, personally. The up close shots are good, but the crowd looks like balls, the jerseys ripple with the wind too much...it's really solid though. it's just no MVP as far as gameplay.

well im a huge fan of cut scenes, and if those are good then im set. fuck anythings better than last years game.

[Trainsaw]

I bought it today, its a fun game, batting does need some work. The graphics do look awesome, esp in HD.

[Scott Weber]

I'm glad I rented and not bought. it's a fun game, but probably not worth my 60 bucks.

[livethesounds]

well imo madden isn't really worth my 60$, but im a big enough football fan to buy it.

i bought that piece of shit last year, so ill buy this one.

[DaveFeelsRight]

i love it.

[Trainsaw]

I don't think All Pro Football 2k8 is going to be enough of a threat to sales to make EA sports come up w/ something new and advance the game very much. Though it would be a wise move for EA to release an excellent Madden the year before their exclusive contract ends w/ NFLPA/NFL. So we might not see another great Madden until the year before they lose their exclusiveness. This was such a bad thing for football gamers because it basically gave EA a couple years of vacation by putting out subpar football games and not having to take the time to create something new

Blockbuster is a money grubbing piece of shit, but you gotta understand this from their perspective. Games cost them a shit ton to buy, regardless of what kind of deals they get. People walk off and keep the games all of the time, and the only type of security they have is having a valid credit card on file to charge the card if the game is kept. I had to deal with bitchy customers complaining about this shit every week.

[bjam12]

One thing I like about 2k7 is you can change the pitching and batting back to MVP 05 style if you want.

[deadstar]

2k7 sucks. Every hit from the computer is ahome run.

[bjam12]

2k7 sucks. Every hit from the computer is ahome run.

What level are you playing on? I don't give up hardly any HR's and if I do it's no more than 1 or 2 a game.

[DaveFeelsRight]

2k7 sucks. Every hit from the computer is ahome run.maybe you suck? cause the only homeruns i give up are to actually people online or against my friends.

[DaveFeelsRight]

One thing I like about 2k7 is you can change the pitching and batting back to MVP 05 style if you want.How? the only pitching options i see are zone, zone 2 and the payoff pitch.

[Trainsaw]

you must not know pitching very well or being able to pitch very well because i rarely give up a HR

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Sports games seem to be getting progressively worse. They are adding things to the game nobody cares about and taking out little things that make them fun, especially EAs.

[bjam12]

How? the only pitching options i see are zone, zone 2 and the payoff pitch.

Well, I have the ps2 version so I'm not sure if that's any different. But when you go to your VIP settings you can change the pitching and batting options. Batting is called "classic" style. I can't remember what pitching is called but there are only two pitching options.

[Brownpants06]

i was going to buy this, think i still might


but i agree, sports games have been getting terrible lately.

[deadstar]

Well when you play as the Pirates and throw a changeup on the low outside half of the plate, Adam Fucking Kennedy should not be consistently wahcking you for dingers.

[deadstar]

Also, it's not that I'm giving up so many hits, its that of the 6 I do give up 3 of them are home runs. Its ridiculous.

[Scott Weber]

Also, it's not that I'm giving up so many hits, its that of the 6 I do give up 3 of them are home runs. Its ridiculous.
Uh. I haven't given up a home run in 10 games played. In fact, pitching is super easy so far. What level are you playing it at?

[deadstar]

Uh. I haven't given up a home run in 10 games played. In fact, pitching is super easy so far. What level are you playing it at?
The first few games I played were against the Cards and for some reason everything they touched went for a home run. Ever since I've been untouchable. I dont know what the hell it was, but you're right, pitching is easy.

[imirish06]

burrel just hit into a triple play.


good thing to know this game is realistic

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

Also, it's not that I'm giving up so many hits, its that of the 6 I do give up 3 of them are home runs. Its ridiculous.

i think you might just suck at pitching

[DaveFeelsRight]

i was one out away from a perfect game with gavin floyd.


then fucking kenny lofton had to ruin it for me.

[kshtoinks12]

I'd venture to say that Wii baseball is the best baseball game coming out this year gameplay wise.

[DaveFeelsRight]

too bad its only 3 innings and everything is an out.

[brianl7]

I rented this last night.

I still have yet to play it.

[Scott Weber]

I'd venture to say that Wii baseball is the best baseball game coming out this year gameplay wise.
wrong...

[kshtoinks12]

too bad its only 3 innings and everything is an out.Then play it three times?

But seriously, in my opinion, there's nothing like actually swinging your bat. When a baseball game comes to Wii, I'll be happy.

[Trainsaw]

i was one out away from a perfect game with gavin floyd.


then fucking kenny lofton had to ruin it for me.

kenny lofton picked off 3 HR's from me in a series, i hate him w/ a passion

[DaveFeelsRight]

every fucking outfielder in the game take everything away. it gets annoying.

[TasonJate]

every fucking outfielder in the game take everything away. it gets annoying.


so true

[livethesounds]

anybody tried messing with the sliders to fix the fielding and batting things?

[kory]

if you're a real baseball fan, you will want to buy this game. the presentation, signature styles, animations, and graphics are all top notch. pitching is really fun. it's missing automatic fielding which is annoying because i suck at fielding and sometimes overrun routine ground balls

If you're a real GAMING fan, you'll see that there's major problems with this game.

[kory]

if you're a real BASEBALL fan and only have a 360, you don't have much of a choice, do you? it's still good enough to buy

well thats a good thing if you think that and are an astros fan. last year the astros were horrible to look at, while teams like the yankees were obviously worked on more (graphically with the players and jereseys)

[AshesAshes]

I rented it on xbox and I like it but wont ever buy it mvp 2005 is still my game of choice

I actually kind of noticed that too. I think Ryan Howard is the only face thats really dead on... on the phillies

[Scott Weber]

What the fuck is up with this game's AI. I give up a total of 3 runs over 10 games - and then all of a sudden, I give up 14 runs in a game, just started a new one, and I have given up 5 in the first inning. I don't GET this shit. This game has MAJOR problems. I'm not pitching any differently than I ever have, guys are hitting splitters for homers out of the dirt - it doesn't make sense.

Bingo. Same problem I had for a 3 game spurt against the Cards. Then after that it was lights out again.

So weird. It's totally random.

[livethesounds]

kinda like real baseball?

[Smithers]

my brother got this but i think it sorta sucks. give me a new MVP'05 and i'll be happy.

at least there's only 4 more weeks till GH2 for 360.

[Fullcollapse3k]

Is it as good as MVP? Or at least a hell of a lot better than 2k6?

No to the first, God yes to the second.

[+thecalisonme]

kinda like real baseball?

we want it to be realistic until we cant win every game 14-0

[+thecalisonme]

the only thing i like more about mvp 05 is the hitters eye

[Scott Weber]

the only thing i like more about mvp 05 is the hitters eye
I like fielding better (power bars to affect speed and accuracy of throws), I like hitting better (easier to play small ball, better balance of contact and power), I like...well, pretty much everything besides graphics and presentation better. Pitching is great in 2k7 though.

[Fullcollapse3k]

I miss the fielding in MVP 05, the throwing meter when you'd make the throw to first was awesome.

[Scott Weber]

Fielding's not very good in this game. And the CPU robs wayyyyy too many home runs. Totally unrealistic.

[deadstar]

Home runs and any hit. Try playing against the Cardinals. Nothing drops against Edmonds. He's basically god. Every other average outfielder is like Jim Edmonds in this game. So annoying. They catch everything.

2k7 just doesnt have the bars, making it a little more challenging cuz you have to judge for yourself. i also dont understand this better balance of contact and power

[+thecalisonme]

and shoestring catches. do u know if you can change cpu ai in the field, im pretty sure you can but havent looked

[deadstar]

Theres gotta be sliders somewhere.

[Scott Weber]

2k7 just doesnt have the bars, making it a little more challenging cuz you have to judge for yourself. i also dont understand this better balance of contact and power
From my understanding, it doesn't matter if you tap the button for throwing power or hold it down, it's still the same power on the throw in 2k7. Also, sometimes you'll tap it and it'll just fly over the 1B's head, even if it was intended to be the safe throw. I don't think you control throwing power in this game.

As far as a better balance of contact and power, it's pretty much stupid to try and play small ball in this game, because getting singles and doubles are far harder than just trying to jack it out of the park. It's too easy to hit homers...and the runner speed and CPU throwing power is totally whack. It's very, VERY hard to get a double in this game if you hit it to the wall or in the corner if you're not running with Juan Pierre or Ichiro or something. it's a poor balance.

Hm....no, i know at least i can change the power of a throw by tapping or pressing the throwing button...

It is easy to hit hrs, but its not THAT hard to get base hits and doubles. I got the game yesterday and in two games i had like 6 home runs, but had a decent amount of hits too. (more Hrs than hits, but a slider adjustment can fix that).

After playing a few games of this i find it hard to understand why there are so many gripes about the game. I've heard mostly bad things and its without a doubt the best baseball game I've ever played. Some of the controls are new, but it just takes getting used to. Just turn down the power with a slider adjustment. The pitching is awesome in this game, as well as the graphics. I never in a million years thought they would actually go through and prefect the faces of pretty much every player on a team's roster.
The play calling is a little bland, and other than the fact that every now and then the players jerseys look like their in a wind storm this game is amazing.

Here's the thing - I think the sliders are great, but if they're not set up by default to be realistic, then that's a problem. Instead, we have to sit around constantly tweaking the sliders to make the game the way it should be - and that's complaint worthy, 100%. I shouldn't have to waste my time on that, especially when sometimes the leaps between 5% of slider values are ridiculous (like pitcher fatigue)

But once again, I side with most game purists in saying that graphics really mean very little to me in a sports game. If it's not fun to play, I don't care how good it looks - that's part of the reason that Fifa 07 was so terrible on the 360. It looks great, but the gameplay's ass. That's why MVP 05 was unbeatable - the graphics were passable, not great, but the gameplay was outstanding. Incredibly deep, and the owner mode was amazing - I probably have played 300 hours of that game, possibly more than any other game ever made.

Graphics are awesome for about 10 hours, then you're over it. Gameplay matters for a lifetime...and I mean, that's part of the reason this game is getting good, but not great reviews. Most of the ratings are falling in the 7.9 range, and I'd agree with that. The gameplay has far too many flaws to be the best baseball game ever.

I guess that's where we think differently on games, especially sports games. If presentation and graphics are there, ill allow mediocre game play...i mean as long as its playable. but graphics mean a lot to me. Last year i couldn't play the game because it was so bad on both ends of the spectrum.
And yea, they should fix the game defaults to be the most realistic, but usually that's never how it works.

It was good in MVP 05. :) And I just think that's bizzare, personally. I'm going to create a new thread in the sports forum about it.

[YouMadeTheScene]

I just rented it. It's my first time with 2k7 really. I'm getting used to the hitting and pitching right now. In terms of the franchise, the interface of the franchise menu sucks. The graphics are great, and the presentation with the commentary is amazing.

[Brownpants06]

i miss the turbo running

[livethesounds]

this is such an amazing game. All the gameplay problems like too many hrs...too many amazing catches can all be fixed with a sider adjustment. there are some small problems (like no sky progression when inning replays are on) but other than that its amazing.
this is gonna be a game i can play a whole season with.

[Scott Weber]

I think I'd give this a 7.7 out of 10 overall after playing it for 2 weeks.

[deadstar]

Its definitely a huge step up, but theres still a looong way to go.

[Scott Weber]

One major annoyance is that with all the great graphics and animations, for the amount of HRs you hit in this game, there could be more than that one stupid pitcher reaction where he clenches his fists and seems to curse at himself. It's the exact same every time - and they show it every time. Gets old.

[Brownpants06]

Meh I get shelled if i put up the difficulty, need to work on pitching my team era is like 11. But on the other hand, troy glaus has 18 home runs in 18 games, haha. He's going to hit 140.

[xearlynovemberx]

videogamesteroids

[livethesounds]

Id give it a 8.5

Most sports games have a few weak spots, i had trouble with the sliders getting messed up going into season mode for some reason. had to fix that (first game against pirates was 14-1 pittsburgh and zach duke was 3-3 with a grand slam) for some reason the sliders were all crazy when i checked them. But i replayed that game with my old slider settings and it played just like a real game, i won 3-2.
Honestly, if i played the game on regular settings it wouldn't be playable for me.
It does suck that you have to do all that, but I'm happy with the game after i made the changes.
Also I I'm glad they changed "joe young" aka Barry Bonds to a black guy other than a white dude like the past few years, all you have to do it go in and change his name now.
Also you have to change Dice K's name. I guess they didn't get the rights to him either.

[StandMyBrothers]

I have a question. Do you play all nine innings of a 162 season, and the playoffs? Or do you sim, or play 3 innings, or what?

[bduke13]

I dont really feel like going through 6 pages but what game do you think is better, MLB 2K7 on 360 or The Show on PS2. I want to get a baseball game and I have heard a lot of good things about The Show but I dont have a PS3. I have also heard a lot of bad things about 2K7 too. Maybe Ill just rent them

[VoiceoffCamera]

have 2k7 for ps3 and love it. Graphics are great as is the gameplay once you play around with the sliders. The default sliders are set at like some crazy homerun derby arcade game but now all my games are like 2-1 and stuff. Every review of the game complains about the frame rate but i really don't see it slow down during the game, yes it slows down during cut scenes but you can turn those off. I enjoy watching them though, just because the graphics look amazing.

I had the show last year and didn't feel like waiting till it came out for ps3 this year so i went with 2k7 and am very satisfied with it.

Don't listen to the reviews though, everyone is shitting on the game because they expected mvp 2005 all over again.

[StandMyBrothers]

I have a question. Do you play all nine innings of a 162 season, and the playoffs? Or do you sim, or play 3 innings, or what?
Someone answer

I don't think I can play 162 games of 9 innings in this game. I did it in MVP 2005.

[livethesounds]

I have a question. Do you play all nine innings of a 162 season, and the playoffs? Or do you sim, or play 3 innings, or what?

I play all the games. I did a couple years back (couldnt last year cause the game was so unplayable), and I usually do that for any sports game I get.

[nateisawesome]

im still sticking to MVP 05

I didnt like last years at all

[thatwasamoment]

How's MLB The Show?

[bduke13]

Well I am playing it for Xbox and it is the exact same as it was for 360 last year. They didn't change any of the things that bothered me last year, like the strange throwing motions and such

[livethesounds]

its completely diff on 360

[bduke13]

its completely diff on 360

I'd hope so. Why even put out a version for regular Xbox if you aren't going to change anything?

[Scott Weber]

I'd hope so. Why even put out a version for regular Xbox if you aren't going to change anything?
$$$. they changed a little bit on xbox, but hardly anything.

[bduke13]

Are the player names the same for 360? Like do they not have Kevin Millars and Daisuke's names?

[Scott Weber]

Are the player names the same for 360? Like do they not have Kevin Millars and Daisuke's names?
Those guys aren't a part of the MLBPA, like Bonds...so they're not in ANY video games (at least that's my understanding - Millar wasn't in MVP 04 or 05 either)

[HoustonCalling]

Am I the only one who prefers MLB: The Show. My friends and I are addicted to it.

I love it. The pitching is great, you control the velocity and accuracy with the meter (standard), but as you pitch, you have to move the joystick to where you pitch to help you paint the corners. The hitting can be difficult on higher level, but it just comes with practice. You can guess the pitch and pitch location (depending on which level your on). The higher level you can only guess the pitch. Fielding is great, they don't have throw meters, instead the button is just sensitive to how long you hold it. (The longer you hold it the faster it is, but also risk wild throws). The announcing can get really repetitive. i only have 06, I need to buy 07 soon. Base-running is the most difficult, but again it comes with practice. Solid game, I know its rated higher then 2K7 on IGN.com. Go there for a better review.

oh ya, fuck 16 degree winds. Made 4 homeruns popups

not the point. The game play is good when you change the sliders.
if you're too lazy to change the sliders to make it a good game, then whatever.

Hundreds of video game reviewers disagree with you. Pretty much all of them.

Fielding is where the major problems are anyways.

If you have a PS3 get the Bigs in June

Those guys aren't a part of the MLBPA, like Bonds...so they're not in ANY video games (at least that's my understanding - Millar wasn't in MVP 04 or 05 either)

What are the benefits of being/not being in the MLBPA?

I don't know.

the MLBPA can appeal your suspensions, fines, and shit...you vote on what rules you want when they have meetings between the owners and MLBPA. I think a lot of players not part of the MLBPA are the players who got pulled up during the strike.

disagree with me about what? That the game is good once you tweak with it? Most of the reviews I've seen were without messing with sliders. I just played a 14 inning 4-3 game, and it was very realistic. Whats wrong with the fielding? There may be 3 or 4 "webgem" type plays a game, but other than that I don't see a whole lot wrong with the fielding.
Why would I care what a reviewer thinks of something anyway, everyone has their personal preferences. I wouldn't let you or anyone else tell me what to think about an album i was into.

not sure there are any benefits.

I just rented this game and im definately going to buy it. I think its pretty solid, I mean come on were you really expecting a carbon copy of MVP? Im still trying to mess around with some sliders cause im still hitting alot of homers..

Anyone have any good slider settings they'd like to share?

the main thing i changed was

raised pitcher endurance considerably
lowered AI & player power considerably
raised AI & player contact a little
lowered AI & player overall skill a little
lowered the AI & player fielding speed a little

that basically kept me from having 15-11 games with 7 homeruns. and the fielders making webegem catches every other at bat.

The people at gamestop tried to tell me that MLB 2K7 wasn't made for regular xbox. You would think that people who work at game stores should know that it is

i've noticed that the guys at gamestop are only knowledgeable about the games they want to play, and know jack shit about everything else.
