Re: Major League Baseball 2K7 Review (360)

I totally agree with the score. The game looks great but it still needs work in a few areas to be considered a "top" game.
The good news is 2K is going in the right direction and hopefully they will continue to.

Considering 2k6 got a 0/10, 2k made serious leaps!!!

Re: Major League Baseball 2K7 Review (360)

I'm surprised the review didn't mention the frequent framerate problems and the occasional loading screen.

I'm glad he mentioned the awkwardness of the fielding camera.

With the framerate,loading, and fielding camera problems variables fixed, I believe this game could rank a 7.5.

Maybe we'll see a framerate fix with a patch?

Still, it's amazing all the problems Kush resolved since 2k6. We should all have newfound faith in 2k8.

Nice review...score is fair....it will hold me till "the show" drops next month. (which is all i hoped for this year anyway) Agreed 100% with the fielding comments. Out of the box its "the Bigs" with sliders it is playable. Big improvement from last year and can't wait to see what another year does!

With the complexity of sports games, I can't imagine there ever being a sports game that actually gets a 10 out of 10. There will always be someting wrong with it.
Not true they gave NHL 2k a 10/10. Clay can you explain that to me? Just curious why you didn't come to the same conclusion with this game. I would give the game 7.5 to 8 it is fun to play, but with the fielding problems some are having and the lack of cams and the franchise problems I would say more of 7.5.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K7 Review (360)

a review is one persons opinion. Look beyond the actual score and read the review. The most important stuff is the review itself, not the score.

(A) A score of 10, as it has been discussed countless times, does not mean perfection.

(B) I like Strawberry Ice Cream. It's my favorite. I dislike Rocky Road. But, that doesn't mean that Rocky Road can't be FANTASTIC, GREAT, PARTY IN THE MOUTH for someone else simply because I don't like it. What I view as flaws in Rocky Road...marshmellow (sp?) and nuts... is not the same opinion as everyone else.

(C) My reviews and subsequent scores are based 100% on my experience. I don't read forums or seek out bugs. I don't ignore them when I find them, but I don't try to break games. The beefs that people had with the NHL game I simply did not have.... The issues that I had with MLB may not have been had by other players.

For the 352,346,755th time here at OS... read the content... not the score. Nit-picking over a number is like saying "I won't sleep with Salma Hayak because she's 40."
