    Did you own last years 2k6? The game isn't even close or in the same ballpark this year.

    It's not a roster overhaul, last year after I spent the $60, I thought it was money down the drain after the 1st pitch.

    This years demo is light years ahead of 2k6 full version.

      Everyone seems to forget the garbage that was 2k6 was made by 2k - not some "other" company that they took over. They're fixing their own mistake - so 2k is basically telling us their game was so bad it's going to take three years (at full price) to fix...

      just a thought.

      I'm gonna give MLB2k7 a run when I get my broken beta 360 back from MS. I like playing both EA (NCAA football is my all-time favorite game) and 2k games based on which is best (NBA2k7 and CH2k7 are the 2 best basketball games ever) but the full-price for incremental fixes (no matter how significant) to a game they "broke" themselves is crappy from a consumer standpoint...

        you sound silly. the game stands on its own merits just fine. You are taking something the producer said and whining about it with your 1/3 price crap. Every sports game every year doesn't have time to add everything. This is the most improved game I have seen in a 1 year span. Funny I didn't see you crying about paying 1/3 the price when MVP came out.

          At least this game is only on a 3 year plan. I'm pretty sure after playing other games, there are some that must be on 10-15 year plans...

            Maybe next year Brinkman and co. will put in some spring training throwing competition gimick or some other stupid weightlifting drill and people will forget about the gameplay and it will sell 6 million copies like that other game that
            I think you are referring too.

                The funny thing is people will defend that game like it is the 2nd coming when anyone who knows a tiny bit about football can tell it is so far from being a realistic representation of the sport its not funny.

                I think this years baseball game is more then a solid start for brinkman. More cameras are needed(although I have no prob with the ones in the game). Homeruns are being robbed at an alarming rate (sliders), and I would really like to see the old cursor based hitting come back into play. The presentation is top notch minus some crowd reaction issues that should be touched up next year.


                Or they could just add some new jerseys and sneakers with a mini camp mode and roster update and sell 6 million like madden.

                  Yeah, that's when you were saying that there was no lefty HR glitch.

                  What's silly is your attempt to make this like I'm some EA fanboy. Ooops. Nice Try Let go of MVP, it's gone.

                    i havnt played the full version yet, but from what i hear it is way better than the demo. I guess things are crisper, not as many HR's robbed, and its just overall a better gameplay experience.

                      uhh...that's only because last years game was so brutal. They've essentially put perfume on a pig....it may smell better, but you still got a pig under all that...They need to blow up the engine and start over...ala EA a few years ago.

But you're trying to slam them for trying to give you a realistic expectation. If you don't think this year's game is worth the $60, then save yourself the trouble and don't purchase it. While I hate having no choice for football games, no one made me go out and purchase Madden or NCAA - I made the choice; I'm the one that needs to be more discriminating
                        You took my quote out of context. I was replying to someone who insisted that I didn't "get basic business concepts" because I refused to buy the first year of their "3 year plan". That's all. I've already stated that I won't be purchasing it.

                            I don't disagree that 2k7 is better...but light-years ahead of "crap" is...well, it still may not be worth $60.00. That's all I'm saying.

                              What exactly do you not like about the game? Beside the camera of course, cause the game I am playing is a 100 percent better then last years effort.
