    Is MLB 2k7 (XBox) Better than MVP 05

    Okay, first of all yes, I still haven't broken down and purchased a new Xbox 360. I am still hanging on to the few real gems that I have for the Xbox. I have been playing Espn 2k5 for my football fix (I'm in the playoffs for the year 2019 or something) and I still play MVP 05 for my baseball jones. (I simmed to 2025 so I don't have to worry about accurate rosters because they're all made up). So the question is given that they are no longer making games for the Xbox, should MLB 2k7 be my baseball game or does MVP 05 still reign supreme? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, C-Bus

    Well,if your'e thinking about getting a 360 and have other games on your mind,I'd do it anyway. To get a 360 for this game only-no,I wouldn't. I'd read the impressions threads and bugs and glitches thread,a few reviews on the net and go from there. Of course,that's my opinion-and opinion is subjective.

      I'm more tired than I thought tonight I didn't pay enough attention to the title of your thread-sorry....Never played the regular Xbox version. But,I guess some advice from my last post might be helpful.....
      (sans 360 thoughts)-good luck

        Wait 3 years and buy a 360 with MLB2K9 it should be slightly better by then! I hope.

          I say just stick with MVP. 2k7 is ok if your not real nitpicky about stuff, but when it comes down to it, it just cant hold a candle to MVP's gameplay.

            i bought the 360 for this soley for this game, and was before playing mvp on ps2 before . im happy i made the switch. the franchise isnt as in-depth but the game play is better, graphics are better, animations are better, sliders work better than mvp. so overall i dont regret it, in fact cant stop playing, looking forward to a couple years when they revamp the franchise .

              he was wanting to know about the old-gen version though.

                People who didn't really play MLB 2K5 and 2K6 last-gen will tell you to maybe go for it. People who did play MLB 2K5 and 2K6 last-gen will tell you to run - don't walk - as fast as you can in the opposite direction of your local gaming store. FLEE!

                And don't look back...

                  Homer sits in a nuclear plant all day pigging out on donuts. Can't really expect an awful lot from him.

                    dont know about XBox, but 360 is sick...everyone says theirs glitches, but I don't feel them...This is my remedy for the broken heart that EA Sports and the MVP team and engine have given me...

                      Thanks for the help. I am now considering the Xbox 360, I know I will get one when All Pro football comes out anyway.

                        Good call. Any and all money you spend now on Xbox games could be going instead toward the purchase of a 360 2K7 definitely worth checking out on the 360, but you might want to rent first.

                          I just got through playing this game for a hour or so this morning, and I cant believe I'm about to say this, but its starting to grow on me. When I first bought this game a few weeks ago I didnt think I was going to be able to get into it, but the more I play the more its growing on me. I still cant get over the pausing in the middle of gameplay and the blue freakin' bats!!!

                            C'mon, I've seen plenty of MLB players using blue bats...

                            Er, actually, no I haven't. Okay, but I have seen tons of blue bats used in Little League games...

                            Actually, that's not true. Come to think of it, the only blue bats I've seen are those $3.99 baseball sets from Walmart that come with a plastic bat and a couple of plastic baseballs. But I digress...

                            Like I was saying, what exactly is the issue here??!

                              Well, thankfully they're not playing with blue balls. [rimshot]
