Product DescriptionMLB 07: The Show delivers online baseball action the way it should be. The franchise now introduces the all-new Road to The Show mode, enabling gamers to play both offense and defense from the created player's perspective. With the Adaptive Pitching Intelligence (API) feature, catchers will call the game based on the individual strengths and weaknesses of each pitcher as well as analyze tendencies of batters. Gamers will now have the ability to either trust the pitches called by the catcher or shake them off. Online League Play offers customizable leagues with up to 30 teams, complete with full stat tracking, point benefits and rewards. The My Sliders feature allows users to create their perfect game settings and upload them to the MLB 07 The Show server for others to try out.
Addicting, fun, and addicting! (Rating: 5 out of 5) MLB 2007 The Show is a great game. The graphics are very good, the gameplay is very good, and all the modes of the game- just purely amazing.
In Career mode you can either do 'Road to the Show' or 'Classic'. I would say 'Road to the Show' is better. You only do your player's events, so the games go a lot quicker. I have only had the game for about two months, and am already in my sixth season.
Also, 'Franchise' mode is very addicting. You not only get to play as, say the Brewers, but also the AAA and AA teams.
All in all, I only have one critique- the baserunning is tough. Instead of doing 'New' baserunning as a beginner, you should probably try 'Classic'.

One of the best MLB games around (Rating: 4 out of 5) MLB 2007: The Show is a great game that I recommend to anyone that is interested in purchasing sports video games, or baseball video games in particular. "The Show" is one of the top MLB games on the market and you'd be hard pressed to find something better. There are many features unique to this series that make it a must buy for gamers.
Graphics/Animation-The graphics in MLB 07 are not as good as ones in the 2K series, but are still pretty good. Ballparks are realistic and the players resemble their real life counterparts with life-like stances and tendencies.
Controls-The controls are probably one of the best part of this series. Despite the fact that this game does not have some of the amazing graphics of 2K, the controls are much better and easier to figure out.
Overall the game plays pretty smoothly. You can choose some of the features of the game such as game difficulty, HR camera, guess pitch, and broadcast presentations that makes that game unique to your tastes. Career mode is my favorite part of the game as you create your own player and get called up from the minors to "The Show" as a real player would.
Bottom line: I give MLB 07 8 out of 10
It's a great game! (Rating: 5 out of 5) Though initially a little frustrating for me to learn how to properly hit and pitch (the first game was not a pretty score), eventually this has become one of my favorite games. It's pretty lifelike for PS2 graphics. Almost all aspects of the game are thought out.
Fantastic baseball game (Rating: 5 out of 5) This game is one of the best baseball games I have played over the years. It has a great presentation that feels like you are actually watching a real game. The announcers are right on and do not feel canned and corny. The game mechanics are solid and the game is polished and very close to real. My son loves this game and we play often and enjoy this game more than any other on the pc2.
Career mode (Rating: 4 out of 5) Really like the career mode, although the base running isn't all that fun. I like being able just to take part in the plays that my created player is involved in. Hitting and fielding are good, being on base just takes too long. Sometimes I try to steal just so I can get it over with. Other than that, I really like it. Although I was a little ticked when the Sox cut me after hitting .350 in AAA!
