2K’s new baseball game, The Bigs, sets to blend together the 2k7 games with that of MLB Slugfest. Needless to say, there’s going to be some high power arcade baseball action in this game. Look for this game coming to an Xbox 360 or PS3 near you this summer.
Today we got a new gameplay trailer from MLB 07: The Show for PS3. I think this will give the 2K sports series a run for it’s money.
Here’s your HD goodness.
This trailer shows good old D-Dub (that’s David Wright for you non Mets fans) in a clutch situation to win the game. Look pretty good to me. Can’t wait to play this one.
Here’s your HD goodness.
More videos after the jump.
Here’s the first real trailer from the PS3 version of MLB 07: The Show. From all reviews of the PS2 version, it puts MLB 2K7 to shame. I think this could give the 2K series a run for it’s money on the PS3. I might have to pick this one up.
A little late, but here’s your HD lovin.
So today I sat down and spent a good bit of time with the PS3 version of MLB2K7. I’ve put in about 50+ hours with the 360 version, so I had a good basis for comparison.
For starters, the 360 version looks better. The PS3 seems to have more jaggies and a bit more framerate issues. That being said, it doesn’t look bad. It’s just not as polished.
The hitting is completely different in the PS3. By default, you use the SIXAXIS motion controls to bat. You pull the controller back and push it forward, similar to using the right analog stick as the swing stick. It felt a bit off at first, but I got used to it. It makes hitting a bit less realistic. I was hitting home run after home run after home run. It’s hard to differentiate between a contact and power swing when you’re pushing the controller forward. I think they need to patch this, if possible. The swing stick is much more realistic.
So we’re going to start up a Loot Ninja league in MLB 2K7 for the Xbox 360. We’re going to play a short season of 24 games, and limit the league to 10 teams.
For fairness, we’re going to limit the league to the bottom 10 teams, by online rank in MLB 2K7.

Just for fair warning, I’m pretty good
So I decided to pick this game up after reading Drunk Pandas review and hearing nothing but good things and let me say hats off to 2K sports, they are spot on. The game looks and feels like a real baseball game. My two only gripes with the game is the learning curve is steep, you will get your #$% handed to you and the base running is awkward at best. My latest endeavor is to try an online league and an offline franchise, but I really need to practice before I become the Kansas City Royals all over again. Let me know if your interested in a Loot Ninja league?
I figured with St. Patty’s Day coming, the luck of my ancestors might shine in my direction. Alas, no. Xbox 360 #5 died this morning. She was only a little over a week old. I’ve gotten 10 disc read errors in the past 2 days in 4 games. Crackdown, Lego Star Wars, and Gears wouldn’t even load up. MLB 2K7 loads, but I get disc errors halfway through the games. Ugh. Looks like this is going back to Best Buy today for Xbox 360 #6.
There’s WAY too many stories of people having gone through multiple 360’s. I don’t know a single person still on their first. 3-5% failure rate my ass!
So I spent about 4 hours today with MLB 2K7 for the Xbox 360. Let me start off by saying this game puts 2K6 to shame. Every bug that people complained about in 2K6 is gone! The graphics are beautiful, the game-play is terrific, and the animations really make the game.
Hit the jump for the full review.
Yet another reason to add to the growing list why Gamestop is NOT the place to buy anything from. I went into today to pick up MLB 2K7 for Xbox 360, mainly because Best Buy’s shipment was delayed. For the record, I avoid Gamestop at all costs and will shop elsewhere whenever I can. However, I wanted to play MLB 2K7, and this was my only chance to buy it. So…
I walk up the counter, ask for the game. I’m quickly asked “Did you preorder it?”, so which my textbook answer is “No.” The guy turned around grabbed a copy of the game, and before ringing it up, proceeded to lecture me. “You really need to start preordering these games.” Ummm, what? My response: “Why, you’re gonna refuse to sell it to me?”. His shocking answer: “Yeah, starting next week, we’re not selling games to anyone but preorders for the first 2 days of release.” You gotta be fucking kidding me. I reluctantly bought the game as I laughed in the kid’s face (he didn’t take to well to that, but what do I care, really).
I can only hope that either this kid is mildly mentally handicapped or it’s just this store that’s being ridiculously insane. Even if this isn’t a corporate policy, it’s a damn shame that I had to hear this first hand. For shame, Gamestop. For shame.
The moral of the story for anyone keeping score is, NEVER SHOP AT GAMESTOP!
