    Why I'm loving this game right now...

    ... because I'm 4 1/2 games out mid-way through the season with the Mets. I love the fact that I'm not 13 games up by june, or that I've figured out all the tricks to beating the CPU.

    I'm playing my hardest, and doing everything to win and I'm still only six games above .500. Mid-way through the season on almost sports games I find that I have to dramatically change sliders/edit rosters because I've "figured it out". I'm really hoping I never get to that point in this game.

    In the end, it's nice to sit down to every game knowing it has some meaning because I'm not running away with the division.

    Re: Why I'm loving this game right now...

    I'm playing with the Cubs and I'm 3.5 games in first w/ Cards/Stros chasing me in the middle of august. Just a few games ago my lead had shrunk to 1.5 games and I was worried so I had a team meeting (asking players to step up) and it really helped the team. I love this game.
    Coming is my style, but I have to go.

        What you described is the exact reason I love playing this game. Mid June with my A's franchise, I'm 5 games over .500 and 2 games back of the Angels.

          This game is phenominal post-patch. I've hardly played NCAA '08 because I can't put down 2k7.

            I havent really bought any games lately. Of course, I'll probably get Madden, but no way I'm jumping into that until I'm done with this game.

              Same here. I played a couple games on NCAA, then decided I wasn't ready for football yet. I had only played a few games of my Braves season, but now I've been playing it like crazy.

              NCAA will have to wait, although I'm not sure I'll be able to hold off on Madden.

                I wish i had started a franchise. I started one but i only played 10 games. I Been playing just quick games off and on . But since the trade deadline i stated playing Braves games each day. Whatever team they play that day in real ife! I'm really into it now i wish i could start a franchise but i know i wont finish.... Maybe a short one. One thing is i'm having alot of 1-0,2-1,3-2 games low scoring games and thats how i love it

                  I'm loving because it is the first game since the High Heat series on the PC that I have liked.

                  This is from a person that like the manager mode and did not want to have to pitch or hit the ball. I mean stats are flawed when you are stiking out 10 times a game because your old relfexes suck.

                  So I finally hunkered down and learned how to judge pitches, run the bases, and control the fielders. Now, I love 2K7. The game seems to play perfectly with the sliders I'm using. Getting into the end of July with my Braves franshise and I'm holding a 2 game lead over the Mets. I also sim every other game instead of playing all of them.

                  By this time of year, I have usually have bought Madden and the latest baseball game has gone into early retirement. Now....I did not even buy Madden.

                  Last night, had a 14 inning battle with the Giants. Took a 1-0 lead into the 9th and my closer blew the save, with the help of an error. Went 1-1 into the 14th when Andrew Jones hit a two run shot to left. This was followed by a boot by the shortshot that allowed the 4th run to come in.

                  I never have really played a baseball game where I was controlling all the action since maybe the Super Nitendo days. I'm really enjoying 2K7 and I'm already looking forward to what's in store of 2K8.

                    Couldnt agree more with the folk on this thread.

                    With the right sliders this game is just beautiful.

                    2K8 should be just stunning.

                      I'm 2 games below .500 with my Cubs franchise and 3.5 out of first behind St. Louis and Milwaukee I love this game even when I lose and I get such realistic games and stats

                        Was a MLB the Show guy for most of the summer but sold my ps3 and gave this game a rent. Much better than I thought after reading all the negativity. It's football season for me now so I wont buying it this year but count me in for 2k9. Much better graphics and presentation than the Show and with a couple tweaks it has a shot to the be the best baseball game next year.

                          You might want to give 2k8 a try first!

                            I also had a great time playing out a full 162 game season with my Cubbies.....until I ran face first into the glitch and couldn't advance to the playoffs.

                              Wow there is a lot of love here for 2K7. I haven't played it in a while. All this love and I am going to pick it back up and start my franchise over. Thanks for the boost all!
