Wii Baseball ‘demo’ vs. MLB 2K7 demo
Two vastly different baseball games, both demos, with the Wii
being more of a technical demonstration rather than a final
retail product. The premise for comparison – Wii Baseball
for now is simply more FUN to play. I love 2K7’s improved
pitching-it’s going to be really fun trying to pitch that perfect
game. Mind you winding up to dish a 94mph fastball with
the Wii-mote is greatly satisfying. But then again so is
cranking out a monster homerun or a shot just inside
the foul pole in Wii Baseball-it’s awesome-but the hitting
in 2K7 seems awkward-classic or swing stick? Both pale
in comparison to the real time movement found with
the Wii. If 2K could have the Wii hitting system damn
would be money for sure. As for the fielding, it’s
non-existent in Wii Baseball as the demo is reserved
solely for pitching and hitting, even base-running is
AI driven. Mind you, 2K7’s fielding in the outfield
is incredibly disconnected.
I am going to explore the nuances of fielding again
as well as hitting but my first out of box impression
for MLB is that it’s not too fun, and not worthy of
a purchase, at least not yet.
