Major League Baseball 2K7 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did a lot of research on the 2 upcoming baseball releases for the PSP, The Show, and 2k7.
The previews for the two games seem to favor 2K7 slightly, but last year's 2k6 by most accounts had too many bugs to be called equal to The Show... Also, I was one of the unlucky consumers to buy 2k6 for the XBox 360 last year and I'm actually still angry about that abortion of game...
So for those reason I was ready to go with MLB 2007: The Show... until I found out that it would not include a dynasty mode. That's a deal breaker for me.
So all I could do is hold my breath and hope that 2k7 would come through with some big improvements... and to my amazement, they did. In fact the game has far surpased my expectations.
The graphics are much sharper than I had expected and the players are as close to accurate as you can ask for on a handheld platform.
The menu is well organized and easy to navigate.
The gameplay is smooth and as realistic as any console version... pitching, hitting, and fielding are pretty straight forward. The learning curve for that is about an inning.
However, after about 4 games I still don't have a total grasp of the baserunning, but that's an issue with just about every baseball game out there.
Another big plus is in game time. By turning off cut scenes and scaling back replays I'm able to get through a game in 30-35 minutes which is ideal for a handheld.
The only complaint I really have is with the rosters... they're WAY behind and of course there is no roster update yet. So I had to spend a good 45 minutes trying to get that straight and to be honest I'm pretty sure I still missed a handfull of moves.
The minor league could be a little more in depth, but that's more of a limitation of the UMD space than the game makers.
The bottom line is it's an outstanding game, and for baseball purist this is THE handheld version to own.
