Major League Baseball 2K7 Critic Reviews

Astounding graphics, terrific animation, and upgraded fielding controls bring the best of 2006 and make it better for 2007.

This ain't Baseball for Dummies - mastering your skills takes practice, but we like that. If it were easy, there'd likely be little reason to play for long. As it is, we're addicted to both our franchise and online play; 2K Sports' famously robust internet leagues and websites return to embarrass all other comers' usually feeble online offerings.

Having played every baseball title out there since the Odyssey 2 and early 80’s console experience. I can honestly this is the most visually pleasing version yet.

Yes, It would be nice to have more classic teams, but otherwise everything in this game just speaks volumes about the dedicated development team.

The multiplayer game, as with other 2K sports tittles, is pretty much a smooth and lag free experience online.

MLB 2K7 is certainly a better game, but most of the new content is of the visual variety. I can't stress enough how impressive this aspect of the game is. It captures the look, sound, and feel of the game better than anything you've seen before.

But with a patch here and there, MLB 2K7 is easily on the path to being the greatest baseball game ever made. There. Someone had to say it.

Finally, finally, we have a game we can experience the same way baseball games are meant to be experienced: every night for several hours.

The pitching and batting mechanics are solid once again, and the fielding has been greatly improved.

Beauty can make a lack of substance forgivable, and that's definitely the case here. MLB 2K7 looks so realistic that you may end up looking around your living room for a hot-dog vendor between pitches.

Thanks to the improved presentation and tightened gameplay, the game shines above its last-generation counterparts.

In the end, the biggest selling point of last season remains the biggest selling point this time around - the online leagues. Sharper graphics and tightened gameplay serve as the only upgrades over last year's model.

Although some minor bugs pop up, the game captures the essence of baseball.

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.

With so many options to choose from baseball fans will no doubt find something to love here.

Though the gameplay is still saddled with recurring issues, the next-gen visual enhancements make the game much more atmospheric than any previous hardball sim.

2K Sports improves upon last season's mediocre next-gen release, with enhanced gameplay mechanics and spruced up visuals.

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.

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.

The game is riddled with glitches that play a hand in making the gameplay something that still needs plenty of attention if this series plans to compete with the big leagues.
