I might get it. I'm still undecided. I haven't even turned on my 360 since I got the Wii. And that was probably like a month ago.

I haven't had a baseball game in a while so I am definately considering it.

i'm not sure if i'll get it either. i haven't played a baseball game in since 2005 and i'd like to get back into it. i like how 2k sports sets up online leagues and tournaments (currently hooked on nba 2k7 online), so i'm definitely considering mlb 2k7.

haha alright. only at 40% right now.

Lucky you. Not even kidding I have been at 1% for about 5 minutes now. It looks like the servers are getting slammed.

Actually more interested in trying this MLB2K7 demo out before the GRAW MP Demo, which I already have and downloaded super fast, as I already know what to expect with GRAW more or less.

yeah mine started off the same. I seem stuck at 87% now.

edit: so yeah...it was stuck at 87% so i paused it and downloaded something small and now it restarted again at 80%. stupid things like this make me realize why i don't even use my 360 much anymore. all the features such as available downloads are great, but by the time this damn thing is even done i'm not even gonna want to play it.

i'm coming up on over 1 1/2 hours of downloading so far for this demo.

970mb to start playing in the 7th inning of a tied 1-1 game...the 7th game of the NLCS.

edit 1: so I played 1 inning so far. fielding seems pretty decent. Pitching and swinging i have to get used to but it seems pretty good. One thing that is slightly annoying is the loading before a batter. The graphics are pretty good. haven't had a chance to really look at them though yet in much detail. Oh and the announcers seem good so far.

another edit: played 2 games. the blurring effect is really bad sometimes, but there are some cool camera angles though. The field itself and the player models are pretty good. The screenshots seemed better to me though.

I would say download the demo only if you are undecided as to whether or not you are gonna buy the game, or if you haven't played a 2k sports baseball game before. I don't really have to much else to say about it. I thought it was alright.

Would you be willing to sell your not-used-anymore-since-wii-came X360? :D

haha i was actually considering getting rid of it, but i think i'll hold on to it. ;)

has anyone else been able to download the demo?

I'm still undecided about buying the game even after playing the demo. I was hoping it would be totally awesome to play but there was just something about it that didn't seem right.

Yep. I have played it, and I think I will definitely at least will be renting it from GameFly without a doubt, and it is on my possible purchases list.

Now I have not played a MLB game for at least three years, as they never got good reviews and I just never had a interest, so maybe I am not the best one to be judging if it is good or not, but I felt overall everything was very tight control wise and all made sense once you knew what you were doing.

I really like the swing stick, and I also like the pitching mechanic as well, so overall I would say I think it is definitely good. I am curious as to how it will work playing someone else though, as that would be my main reason behind getting it, playing other humans.

Best thing is I ended the demo with me pitching, two down, but men on first and third. I was up by one run. I pitched a Fast Ball and the batter creamed it. It was going out of the park, and I wound up climbing the wall and catching it doing a wall run. NICE.

Again it has been a very long time since I played a baseball related game, and I used to really like them at one point, so it all could be I have just been looking for a game to fill the void. With that said, being a "noob" to the series so to speak, I definitely liked what I saw.

Other Impressions.

The graphics were a bit of a let down, as they were nothing at all like the screenshots I had seen. They look very good, do not get me wrong, but they do not look great by any means.

Also, it was a little bit of a let down how there was a very quick loading that popped up every-time a new batter had to come up to bat. You figure either there is enough resources to handle that, and/or they would have done a better job of masking it.

Yeah I'm glad to see i'm not the only one who thought the screenshots were much better than the actual game. And that loading popup is annoying. I don't see why they had to make a box pop up in the middle of the screen like that. It could just say loading in the corner and it would be 100x better.

it can't be much harder to be better than last years game

That's my opinion lol. After last year, I can only come out a bit happier. My main concern is the fielding from last year which was atrocious, to say the least.

Anyone else's DL speed really slow (read: non-existent) ?

Yep, it took me forever to download. At least an hour, if not more. GRAW 2 MP Demo I got in under 5 minutes.

Seems as though the shipments were a bit late since no one has it in yet. It appears as though most stores will get it tomorrow, the earliest. Damn.
