C'mon guys, confess. This is a disaster. Fielding is a mess. Framerate is painful. I wanted this to be the one. It's not
There are so many bugs I don't know where to start. I guess I'll start with things that were decent.
DECENT- Hitting and pitching are OK. Feels quite realistic but there are far too many HR's and very few ground balls. Why no ground balls I wonder? Hmm...see below.
AWFUL- The fielding in this game is the worst I have ever seen. You rarely pick up the ball in time and there is only 1 camera angle. It's choppy as hell to boot. This 30 fps is unnacceptable. Also, there are many glitches that I came accross in only a few games. Fielding is what makes a baseball game. C'mon Ben, work your magic.
VERY GOOD- The presentation is top notch and the graphics are good. The animations are still off and choppy though.
Bottom Line: If you haven't played the MVP series then you might not know what you are missing. It is better than 2K6 but that isn't saying much. Ben Brinkman came over from EA and has a 3 year plan to fix it. Because of this I shall endeavor to put my faith in 2K8. But, in the end, 2K7 is still only a platoon player.
