MLB 2k7 already has most of the features announced for MLB 08

Yeah, that's why I said the ones in the new game... Last year's The Show was a PS2 game graphics wise, the new screens are just as impressive as 2K7's last year.

Uh uh, no way. I suggest you take another look at them.

And in fact, I think The Show is way overdoing lighting contrast. I mean, I understand self-shadowing (like the bat casting a shadow on the player), but if the jersey is wrinkled just a little bit, one side looks like night and the other looks like day. Don't let the overdone contrast in lighting trick you into thinking it's comparing to what 2K7 looked like (in still shots) last year.

Yeah, I agree- its not even close. I forgot just how good 2K7 looked until I looked at some screens again just recently.

The Show is on top, 2K7 is on bottom:















Overall detail, lighting, and just the overall "look of realism" is much better on 2K7 (by "look of realism", I mean it appears to divert from looking more like a video game... The Show can be considered to look like a beautiful video game, 2K can be considered to look like a realistic video game, if that makes sense).

And you look at that Manny shot a second time (especially the umpire) and tell me that the contrast of lighting doesn't actually look goofy in that shot.

You should have used the Lowell (The Show) comparison over Ichiro. Makes it much closer.

The lighting in the second set doesn't look "goofy" to me. I think they both look fine.

The top one is a toss up from the two pics you posted.

I think almost everyone would admit that, when the games are actually running, MLB2k7 graphics are better than The Show, hands down. But if you combine the animations of The Show with the lesser graphics of The Show, it beats MLB2k7 (when watching the game in motion).

That looks EXACTLY like Lowell. A tie, perhaps.

Sort of moot actually. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. MLB2k7, overall better graphics than The Show 2k7, but who knows about 08. We're gonna have to see them in action.

IMO MLB:The Show, handsdown the best game.

I need to see MLB 08's player models...In that picture Lowell looks amazing but if he looks like a stick figure in the batters box(like mlb '07) its all moot.

I do agree with u on this but I'm sure 2k8 will be different. Since both games are running 60 Fps I'm sure its going to be close. I'm expecting big things from 2k8 this year

If 2K baseball takes as big a leap this year as it did from 06 to 07, it could be a very good game, agreed.

This is a funny thread being that it's in the 2k7 forum... especially when you read the responses.

Here's my take...

If you're complaining about the graphics in The Show, then you don't know what baseball is about. The graphics in the Show DO NOT detract from the gameplay and your overall enjoyment with the game.

You can't say the same when you're talking about the gameplay in 2k7. It detracts from the graphics, especially with the disjointed animation.

You pick which combination you'd rather have.

I thought MLB 2k7 was an excellent game and I'm glad since I'm a 360 owner. All I care about this year is MLB 2k8 and I'm a big believer in Brinkman.

With an excellent slider set from the slider forums and the "pole" camera, MLB 2k7 held my baseball gaming fix all year long. I hope that continues with MLB 2k8.

I would love to play The Show, but I'm not about to buy a ps3.

Best post in the thread. Great graphics does NOT mean great gameplay. Give me gameplay anyday of the year, that is why people still play 2K5 Football.

Re: MLB 2k7 already has most of the features announced for MLB 08

Great gameplay doesn't mean great graphics, either.

And don't confuse gameplay with animations, unless of course the animations affect the gameplay. For instance, the closed stance affected your contact chance on outside pitches. That's an example.

Otherwise, animations are a part of "graphics".

I wonder how long it will take for HGH suspensions make it into these games?

I'm also a 360 owner who doesn't see buying a ps3 alone for one game worthy. I played mlb 06 and thought it was one of the best games of baseball ever but definitely not worth the purchase of a $400 system.

Maybe when i'm done with college and finally paying my own bills I can splurge $400 on another system. Anyways, 2k7 was a good game but the bugs killed the enjoyment. 2k7 does have all the features of the show but the show just pulls it off so much better.
