NoLiMiT06 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Well I picked up my copy today and I love it. Takes a while for me to get used to since I have not played a baseball game since n64 LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted February 28, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 28, 2007 I enjoy it also. It's a lot more polished than last year's iteration and some of the players are amazingly lifelike. Hideki Matsui looks strikingly realistic. The fielding, while better, is much harder as momentum seems to be a bit exaggerated. My only real complaint is that I noticed slowdowns every now and then and thats concerns me because, while I haven't played on Live yet, last year's game slowed to a crawl online. Oh, and the over done blurring of the background can be a bit dumb looking at times. Either way, I'd recommend it. It's a much higher challenge (on Pro I lost to Tampa Bay) and the presentation is very very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defiantly Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Has anyone experienced any crashes? It was the crashes that killed the '06 version for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted February 28, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 28, 2007 No crashes at all for me. The slow downs actually seem to only occur when there's a lot of blurring going on at once (in one of those previously mentioned exaggerated moments). Hitting is so much harder, though. This year, it doesn't tell you if you were late or early, so it's harder to judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrunks Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I haven't gotten the full game, but from playing the demo, I'm definitely impressed. I think the graphics are amazing (at least they look it on my 32" LCD TV), the controls are top notch and responsive, and the presentation is great. I'll be picking this up when I get the chance and the funds :yes:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djweasel Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I'm a little sour I bought MLB 2k6 last year for 60 the day it came out then went down to like 30 in a month but I didn't really like it that much but home runs are awesome. I don't really like the mlb game on the 360. I perferred MVP > 2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I just finished playing the demo and man am I impressed! Looks beautiful, I think and the gameplay is very rich and seems very polished overall. I will definitely be picking this up eventually, if not at least renting it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defiantly Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Well, I got the game on release day and have played 4 games. Oh yeah, this is the real deal. Finally! A contender to beat the almost perfect MVP 2005. A MUST BUY! ...that said, it's still early. While I haven't noticed any major bugs, only time will tell...

DR3AMxCATCHER Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I did hear that they rigged the rankings. How in the world are the Astros rated 23rd is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted March 3, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2007 I did hear that they rigged the rankings. How in the world are the Astros rated 23rd is beyond me. Because they lost their pitching? It's not exactly like they were amazing last year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR3AMxCATCHER Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Oh, I understand that, but we aren't going to be terrible this year like 23rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted March 3, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2007 Oh, I understand that, but we aren't going to be terrible this year like 23rd. You'll be a good NL team. That doesn't say much, though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryne Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I really have problems adapting to the swing stick. I may just be stupid or something, but man, it's really annoying to me. I always end up bunting or completely missing timing/pitches. Ended up switching to classic mode. Then again, it's been a while since I've played a baseball game.

Make sure you're not pressing the button. You pull back to make your step (right before the pitcher releases the ball) and then have two choices: Let go of the stick for a level swing or push it up for an uppercut swing.

+StevoFC MVC Posted March 6, 2007 MVC Share Posted March 6, 2007 so every time I click "done" after my 13th game in the season, it freezes.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted March 6, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 6, 2007 I got past it finally. I waited like 3 minutes and then made sure I didn't click done while it was trying to loading another background highlight. Seemed to do the trick. I only had to win the game 3 damn times.
