    just picked up 2K7

    So I just picked up 2K7. I was playing UEFA Champions League to hold my sports fix until the fall, and when I saw 2K7 receive less than favorable reviews, I thought I would hold off. Then UEFA CL broke so I tried the demo of 2K7 and realized it wasn't half bad so I went out and bought a copy yesterday.

    I must say, I've only played a handful of games so far but I am really enjoying it. I am still getting used to the swing stick, but I did crush a grand slam with Griffey. I am more impressed with the pitching. It took me a few games to get the hang of payoff pitching system, but I really like it now. I like how the catcher actually calls for different pitches and sets a location for you.

    I have tried to avoid any impressions threads or bugs/glitches threads about the game because, well, it's like the saying goes: "Ignorance is bliss". I have heard that the computer scores primarily through home runs though I have not found this to be the case yet.

    One thing that annoys me is outfielder speed. I find that too often when there is a pop up that my plays are not able to get to it unless is very high or right to them. It's like they're just jogging. I wish there was like a turbo button or something.

    Anyway, I'm liking the game and glad I finally caved and got it. I heard 2k sports had a "3-year plan" for this game so I am definitely anticipating big things for next year's game.

                  Certainly am fella, at least 1/2 games per day in my chise.

                  With the right sliders and updated rosters, this game plays beautifully

                  I do go through rather a lot to get this bloody game didnt i?!

                  Yeah, there a few of us about here in the UK mate, not a great deal obviously, but a bit of a cult following i would say.

                  Always been a big Baseball/Basketball fan, not really into NHL/NFL, but the two "B's", yeah, big time.

                  Big Pistons/Tigers fan from my time living and working in Detroit.

                    Channel 5 coverage is great on a Sun/Wed night. I love this game too using Heelfans sliders. Trying a Texas Rangers franchise at the mo and playing a game everynight according to the real schedules. I am 14-14, with NY Yankees up next in the last game of a 3 match series (1-1 so far).

                      Yeah indeed it is fella, Jonny and Josh are a good laugh.

                      I also have NASN so get up to 10 live games a week on that, always one late at night 11/12pm, so i can watch and enjoy in bed last thing at night while my missus drifts off to sleep

                        Cool. Another thing that keeps my interest up is the weekly sports newspaper by USA today that keeps me up do date with rosters and stats etc (Only £1.50). I don't manage to stay up so late so I record the games and watch them the following evening. I wish my wife would drift off quitely to sleep !!
