Re: Mlb 2k7

2k7 franchise is horrible and their pitcher's rating system makes 0 sense. Not mentioning my own personal bias' pertaining to certain reds pitchers but, it is impossible for Harang and Arroyo to put up any stats in my Franchise. I've simulated the 2007 season at least 5 times and either Arroyo or Harang has yet to break the 5.00 ERA mark and the Computer lineup manager continues to place Harang into the closer role for whatever reason... Frustrating

Also the only pitcher in the reds' minor leagues that even remotely resembles Homer's abilities also happens to be 34 years old. Votto? no where to be seen...

I would advise anyone who ienjoys playing the game to purchase. But those who enjoy a good simulation then avoid like surgery provided by kremchek.

Also the mlb site is not giving roster updates yet. That probably will not start until the 25 man rosters are announced...

Re: Mlb 2k7

So what's the word from those that have had some gaming time with 2K7? Is it a recommended buy?

I took today off and I picked it up this morning for PS3 and I really like it. I think it's fun. I created Bailey and for fun Josh Hamilton. I just swept the Cubs in the opening series.

Hugh Blumberg is Homer Bailey. Votto and Bruce are also in the roster update as fake players.

You guys will have to check out our online league, we start playing games on Saturday. I'll post a link to the site when we get it all ready. We have 20 serious players, it should be fun although I'm the Reds and it's going to be hard to win.

Re: Mlb 2k7

What style of hitting do you guys use when you play? I think the swing stick is a really cool way to play the game.
