MLB 2K7 for the xbox 360 had loads of areas to improve in from last years edition, but they passed with flying colors. As someone who plays baseball and is extremely familiar with the sport, it is the first great baseball game in a long time. Gameplay is what makes it stand out from others and last year. The newly added swing stick is probably th most realistic interpretations of swinging I've ever encountered. Whereas most would have you move the left stick and push a button, this has you step back with the right stick and move forward for the swing. Fielding could be better but still is good, allowing you to control your fielders. As for pitching, it works very well with their original interface. Also, you're pitch starts where you aim meaning it's final destination will be unknown, which also mean you have to learn you're pitcher and their movement on their pitches which adds another dimension to the game. Overall the graphics look superb and like a next-gen game should. Player animations are probably the best thing to come to this game though, with very unique and accurate stances, swings, and movements overall. Expressions are great and everything for the most part is fluid. The diffuculty is very good as well with the dynamic option. When games in the past would either be too hard or way too easy, this game will adjust to the way you play and offer you the biggest challenge. Overall, I like my sports games accurate and realistic and with the advanced scouting which allows you to buy reports for certain players and teams, the great GM mode, and solid gameplay MLB 2K7 is a serious step up in baseball games. There may be a few bugs to be worked out for next year but it's still a very good and entertaining baseball game.
