Re: Why does 2k7 get a "free pass?"

That would upset me, and good point, but it's not like we have Cliff Floyd as a starting pitcher or Manny Ramirez as a Closer. That would better match the extremes I think you are talking about.

Someone here mentioned they saw Endy Chavez playing 2nd base... c'mon... that's what is holding me back. I probably could overlook the batting lineups if they weren't too bad but if the CPU can't account for an obvious IFer/OFer that kills the realism for me.

After all, if you had seen a playoff game with A-Rod batting 7th, wouldn't you have called the game "unrealistic?"

Re: Why does 2k7 get a "free pass?"

A game that has the CPU take no actions in trading or pursuing players in their teams are a major gamekiller for me. More so than a lineup that is a bit screwy.

Re: Why does 2k7 get a "free pass?"

So I can't vote for a President unless I actually meet and talk to them in person? I have to actually watch Pokemon before I say it is not for me? I have to actually eat rotten cabbage that has been buried for days before I say it is nasty? I have to purchase or rent MLB 2k7 (even though I researched it) before I can say it blows because franchise mode for me would be unplayable?

Not very logical reasoning. Is it?

No, it's not logical. When voting for a president, at least you get a chance to hear the candidates, then make a decision. How can you make a decision on a game without playing it?

But how do you know buried, rotten cabbage tastes nasty? It might actually be a cuisine!

comparing those things to a video game is a stretch. Bottom line is you have never played the game. So quit complaining about it.

Re: Why does 2k7 get a "free pass?"

Seems like it's all from what he sees and reads. One thing that can be learned from each release of each game is that you can only understand for yourself when you pop it in and play it. When you don't have the game and you're calling out problems that you have heard through someone else, that's not logical. First-hand experience is totally different from impressions from other people.

Re: Why does 2k7 get a "free pass?"

Can you say that there was a dramatic improvement from the first Madden on the 360 to the next, as was the case with MLB2K6 to 2K7?

There has been NO improvement to this game for me. That is what you guys are not understanding. I could care less about jerseys blowing in the wind and "the little things". The exact same franchise bugs as last year = no improvement. I play franchise. I don't touch exhibition, explain where the improvements are for me?

I think that you are taking things to the extremes to make your point. Everyone here will agree that there are problems with franchise mode and rosters. But there are a lot of people who are saying that the game is fun and enjoyable despites the bugs, glitches ect. You have your opnion and you know what you like and what you don't. This game is fun to play for a lot of people and at the end of the day when you as a consumer are spending $60 a pop for games that is all that you can ask for and for many people this game delivers in spades.

Re: Why does 2k7 get a "free pass?"

It has a 2K sports logo on it, hence the pass. If it had an EA logo on it, a lot of people here praising it would find reason to rip it instead.

I have MLB 2K7 and I enjoy it. It's not MVP, but it's a fun game. I like to play all my games, so I'll probably just play a season instead of a franchise. That will help with some of the bugs. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase.

Re: Why does 2k7 get a "free pass?"

They get a pass because the game is fun and very playable.

Not everyone who buys the game, worries about some issues with franchise and what player rotation is.

People are basing opinions based off simulating a season or 3. How about you play the whole 162 games yourself. And let the stats be based off of human error combined with cpu error....Computers are computers and they do make mistakes.

2ksports did what most company's can't do. They made the series feel brand new.

EA doesn't and it feels like a stripped down version each year. Making us take a step backwards at a $60 cost.

2ksports gave everyone what they asked for a great looking baseball game, with great gameplay and presentation. Its on a major issue with some people about franchise. When you buy a game, why would you sim through years in franchise, if your intentions weren't in the first place. Were to find something wrong with the game. Enjoy the game, and stop trying to find problems with it...

Play Ball...

You don't have the game, so your opinions don't matter. Stop trolling...why haven't you been celled or banned by now....go away. You don't like the game and you've never played it, nor do you have a 360. Stop posting!!!

You are annoying and serve no purpose of an opinion but to hate on a game you know nothing about.

On the field...the gameplay is the best of any baseball game I have played, including the Show or MVP (I know that is opinion and will be different for others). The gameplay has improved so much from 2K5 or 2K6 and strangely enough, that is what they said they were going to work on.

A game that has the CPU take no actions in trading or pursuing players in their teams are a major gamekiller for me. More so than a lineup that is a bit screwy.

Yuppers, transactions are a pretty big part of baseball nowadays. That seems to be glossed over just as much. After playing the Show last year with my cousin, I found it incredibly boring and bland, something that this game solves for me.

My .02- this game is as good a baseball game as I have ever played. I'm not a graphics whore, but what they did with this game is amazing. I didn't drop $500 to see mediocre graphics in sports games. There is no baseball game that even comes close to representing what baseball looks like as much as this game.

Having played several games, I'm fully content with a game that plays excellently. No other game has given me CPU and user pitch counts like this one. I'll deal with franchise bugs if the gameplay is fine, not vice versa. A game with a great franchise and crappy gameplay will get zero time from me (for me, Madden is in that category).

No, it's not logical. When voting for a president, at least you get a chance to hear the candidates, then make a decision. How can you make a decision on a game without playing it?

The same way. Research, reading, talking. Isn't that kind of obvious...

You don't have to buy a game on release day. I didn't buy the game. Just wait and read the boards.

Re: Why does 2k7 get a "free pass?"

I would be more upset if it wasn't the only choice, and I wasn't enjoying the game so much. If you are so worried about "Realism" in a franchise mode then I think you're crazy. I haven't seen too many odd moves in mine, and so what if the batter orders are off a bit. Teams switch things up during the year to see what works best, especially if they are struggling.

I just guess I don't consider the "bugs" to be that annoying, if bugs at all.

Please don't flame, it's just my opinion.

I am not trying to knock the game.. heck, in my email I sent to them I told them I enjoyed the gameplay being improved. However, how many times have you seen a RF playing SS.. or a DH playing 3rd?? Add to the fact that the lineups were coded in wrong for the different modes (they are messed up right at the start, before you play a game) other than exhibition. That is not realism. I dont care about colors of sox, but please give me a true-to-life feel for the game. If caring about how a game of baseball is supposed to be played makes me crazy, then I am a basket case ... I am not happy with the fact that the main reason I picked the game up was for the GM/Franchise modes & they are flawed. I havent said anything about "The Show" this year for the fact that I use that game for "my fix" - ie franchise modes - even though that game has issues as well.. I at least do not have to worry about my players being out of position.

All I ask is for T2 to fix the lineup issue..
