Though much of the gameplay can still be deemed as a work in progress, the astounding visual presentation and emphasis on big-league atmosphere make this an easy investment for the next-gen baseball faithful. Refusing to rest on its laurels, Kush Games brought in Ben Brinkman, former lead developer of the MVP series, to help rebuild the game from the ground up for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Thankfully, Major League Baseball 2K7 is not the next-gen embarrassment that its predecessor was.
It was enough to put me off baseball gaming for all of last year.īut for all its polished gameplay, MVP 07 NCAA Baseball simply isn't enough to satisfy my needs this time around I need the MLB license. It looked nothing like the CG-esque "in-game" shots that predated the game by months, its gameplay disappointed, and - oh yeah, the first production run crashed consoles by the thousands. That anger was only compounded by the debacle that was Major League Baseball 2K6 for the Xbox 360. MVP Baseball 2005 is easily one of my favorite games of all time, and I was infuriated when 2K Sports picked up the exclusive third-party MLB license, effectively ending the major-league MVP series. Over the last couple of weeks, I've been watching every spring training game I can find, monitoring the injury reports, and getting ready for the two fantasy drafts I have coming up later this week.Īs you might expect, baseball has had a significant impact on my gaming life, as well.
Sure, by the end of the season, I'm a little exhausted by it all, but by the time January rolls around, I'm trolling the trade rumors and counting the days until football stops dominating ESPN coverage.
Baseball fever is finally upon us, and I, for one, couldn't be happier.
