    A complete joy to play and one of the best baseball games I’ve played in quite some time.

    When the dust settles, SCEA San Diego has done something that few have ever seen – they produced a follow up that was as good as or better than the original classic.
  3. IGN

    Whereas "MLB '06" came across as a basic correction of buggy franchise play, MLB '07 actually tries to push the series and the sport further ahead particularly thanks to its Road to the Show career mode, redesigned pitching system and online options.

    If you've already got MLB 06, it's difficult to justify the upgrade unless this mode particularly interests you, but for those new to the series then MLB 07 is worth the purchase for any fan of the sport.
  5. GamePro

    MLB 07 looks and sounds great. It's amazing how specific the announcers' comments are, players look like their real-world counterparts and stadiums have the intricate details that will make any fan proud.
  6. GameSpy
    80
    The enhancements on the pitching side and the even funkier Career mode show that development isn't simply in cruise control.
  7. G4 TV
    60
    The trio of Matt Vasgersian, Dave Campbell, and Rex Hudler actually sound like they're watching the game unfold in real time, noting how many times a certain hitter has struck out, the number of consecutive hits allowed by a pitcher, and other milestones.

Don't know why they screwed that up but the rest of the Last year the game ran silky smooth and this year they have frame rate drops. Don't know why they screwed that up but the rest of the game is solid. I loved '06 and they took that game and tweaked it to make it better. More errors, hit variety, confidence meter for each pitch but the tremendous amount of sliders added makes this a game that can really be customized. They also fixed the pitcher cam to have the radar gun which is nice addition as well. It doesn't blow away '06 and the frame rate drops are annoying but its still the best baseball game out there on any console.… Expand

    I used to play the MVP series and it was pretty good and last year I decided to get the NCAA game and loved the actual game play (the I used to play the MVP series and it was pretty good and last year I decided to get the NCAA game and loved the actual game play (the franchise was pretty weak). this game is really bad. Unfortunately its the only option if you want the mlb experience. sadly MLB 2k7 is supposed to be even worse. The franchise isn't bad actually, the show seems pretty boring (not nearly as fun as madden superstar) but the game play is unbearable. I cant even count how many times I've had a catcher just stand there with the ball as my opponent slides in for a run. Hitting seems way too easy. the pitching system seems to have some good ideas and they should keep developing it. I don't want to be forced to play 9 innings in online play, and you cant concede defeat or have a friendly quit, so if your opponent is a cheeser theres little you can do. All we can do is hope and wait for next year.… Expand
