Learn more about MLB 07: The Show. (Flash demo)

You step back into the batter's box and take a deep breath, clutching the bat in your sweaty hands. You're up to bat for the first time in the Big Leagues, and you're in a full count. The man glaring at you from the mound is someone whose baseball cards you used to trade; now, he's channeling his signature 98-mph fastball directly at you. The next pitch could determine whether you'll be taking a plane to Boston or riding a bus to Toledo. The pitcher winds up and launches one low and away. Will you belt it over the centerfield wall, or will you and your dreams go down swinging?

MLB 07 steps up its game with the innovative Road to The Show career mode that lets you fast-forward and play from the player's perspective for every at-bat and defensive play as you rise through the ranks and into the Big Leagues. Adaptive Pitching Intelligence (API) allows you to shake off the catcher or to trust that the calls he makes are based on batter tendencies and your strengths as a pitcher. Online League Play lets you construct leagues with up to 30 teams, complete with stats tracking, point benefits and full customization.

Best Sports Game So Far!
Hello, First, I would like to say that this game has better graphics than any basketball or football game I have purchased so far. This is my first baseball game purchase. The only bad thing I have to say about this game is that it doesn't feature a tutorial mode, and me being new to baseball games did horribly in the first couple games. I started to get good after I got the hang of it. This game features helpful hints that come up during the game. Good graphics and very realistic. Good commentary, most lines are not repeated over and over like in other sports games. Replay is great. Total pitch control and allows you to control the game. Features a season mode, franchise mode, career mode (enables you to start out in the minors and work your way up into the big leagues), updated rosters, excellent pitching graphics (shows good replay), allows you to build a dynasty and really take your team where you want to go and as long as you play the game it allows you too ensure that your team will make the playoffs (etc.). Recommended game and any baseball fan should have this game. Very realistic and a very fun and relaxing game. - Thank you for reading. I hope this review helped you in making your decision.

Recommendable baseball game
Overall, this is a wonderful baseball game. I was looking for an at-least halfway decent baseball game for the PS2. Picking out this game, I got more than I expected. Pros: First, I love the overall 'feel' of the gameplay. The details of the sights and sounds make it feel like you're really at a baseball game in your hometown. At the K in KC, the announcers make references to I-70 HWY and you can see the FCA building the background. When you pause the game to grab a snack or get the phone...or whatever you do when you pause the game...the announcer will belt out an occasional announcement. I also love the variety of different game modes. There's franchise (my favorite), career, road to the show, etc, that will keep you playing for a long time. And I tip my hat to the graphics...the players actually look like themselves. Cons: There aren't a lot, but there are some. First, controlling multiple baserunners is a little difficult. If I can't send them all, I don't send any. I'm still working at getting ths down, but it is tricky. I recommend classic baserunning. Second, the fielding controls can tend to get a bit irritating. For example, a batter will pop a ball up behind first, and the shortstop is automatically selected to catch it. I'm unsure why the closest fielder isn't selected. It's not a big deal if it's a high pop up, because you can switch your players if you need to. However, with a short pop up or an infield ball, you have to get your player over fast, and they don't always make it. But I won't complain, I'm glad I got the game, and the benefits definitely outweigh the cons.

perfect baseball videogame
The game has alot more features in it than 06. You have a guess location where you can guess where he is going to pitch it. The graphics are good, but they aren't the best. Thats the only thing I think they should improve on. The rosters are updated. I think that if you are ever wondering what baseball game you should get with updated rosters, it should always be MLB 06: The Show.
