    Random thoughts about 2k7 thread


    -we NEED a way to move snapshots from replays to our PCs...that is just as fun as the actual game

    -wish there was an option to do stuff like build a new park or make additions or something....the more recent parks in the game look amazing and are more fun to play in for me

    -43 games into my franchise JJ Hardy has not hit a HR....isn't he the MLB leader in real life? I play every game, so I guess its my fault

    -Pitching is slightly too easy. My starters usually have no problems going 7 innings 1 run. If I make the CPU any better at hitting they jack like 5 homers a game...I still only win at a 50% rate

    -At first 95% of the CPU runs came off homers, but I tuned my sliders and found a way to get that at more like 66%

    -I strike out, a TON...but my offensive numbers otherwise are on the money

    -Wish we could negotiate contracts that had more than one year left on them....restructure them or even give extensions

    -Swing stick is done pretty well actually. At first I was terrible with it. That MVP college game from 06 had it perfect though

    -Definitely need more minor league stuff

    -Bill Hall has 29038423 errors in 43 games, I curse myself every time I leave him in the game in the late innings with a small lead

    -The way the pitching shakes when the game is on the line kills me every time. I have quite a few blown leads/saves, and usually when I let go of the pitch that kills me I know its coming before the CPU even swings

    -Any CPU pitcher that throws over 93 MPH will dominate me

    -This is the first game where I've been terrified of some hitters. I intentionally walked Albert Pujols 3 times one game

    -Need some more hit variety


    Ok thats all I got for now...but add your own whenever you get a random thought about MLB2k7. I just got the game 2 weeks ago and have played the crap out of it and these are my current thoughts.

    Sounds like the way I've been experiencing things. Especially that pitch shake thing, with Mariano Rivera blowing 2 saves with over a 16 ERA in like 5 IP. Either way, I am starting to like this game with good sliders in place.

      I strike out a lot too because I have the pitching speed at 80 which makes it very difficult to recognize a pitch and decide to swing or take in time. Im late on a lot of swings therefore. The trade off is with more strikeouts it diminishes the amount of homers I hit. If I play with the pitch speed at 65 Id hit about 8 homers a game.

        I've definitly settled back in with some good slider settings.

        You know after all is said and done, I really like this game. I can't wait to start hearing news about MLB 2k8 in the future.

          I like it too but after playing 50 games or so I kind of just zone out when I'm playing, especially pitching.

          they really need to fix the lighting issue that happens during games (like the lights come on or something, its too bright) for next year or I wouldn't buy it

            Yeah I agree, next game should be sick. I really like this a lot, so if they improve some things I will be very happy.

              The lighting thing annoys me to no end as well. The game looks so good with the proper TV settings when the lighting/shadows are implemented correctly, but it seems to change almost from batter to batter (especially when going from a righty to lefty)...

                One thing I've noticed lately.....

                When using classic hitting, if you press left or right on the joystick you will hit the ball much harder when you hit the ball on the ground. There aren't as many slow rollers that would die before they reached the OF grass if no one was on the field.

                  theres a small framerate issue sometimes, especially when their are runners on base or just after a pitching change

                  batters always get hit by pitches in the middle of the back....never in the legs or anything

                  My average is almost .35 points higher with lefty hitters, no idea why
