    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 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

    You're bound to find a mode to immerse yourself into, and you've never had so much fun pitching in a baseball sim before.

    An arcade game and a true-to-life simulator rolled into one. MLB 07 is a grand showpiece for PlayStation 2. It crams as much into the game as possible, drawing every bit of power it can from the console’s core.

    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.
