MLB 07: The Show : Great Modes Hampered by Dated Features

An in-depth look at MLB 07 for the PlayStation 3.

"The largest chunk of gameplay involves the online modes with the help of the PlayStation Network and MLB.com. You can join leagues play against friends or find a stranger on the PlayStation Network. There are also community features that allow you to talk with other MLB 07 players from all over the world. Online is where you'll find most of the fun in MLB 07 as the computer AI in the single player season is not as intelligent as a next-gen title should be.

This is a PS2 game ported to the PS3 and it shows in AI, graphics, and control scheme are seemingly unchanged. Even with those faults, MLB 07: The Show still remains the best baseball game on the PS3. It should be checked out not only for the awesome Road to the Show mode but for the online modes as well."

This is a weekly feature. Every Friday this will go live.

DaTruth5159d ago

Yeah, staring at a screen for 5 hours straight is the mark of a poor attention span!

Who writes this crap???

DoucheVader5159d ago

@ DaTruth

Yes a screen that is constantly changing images so much so that each game has an epileptic seizure warning. Or in other words, optimized for an attention deficit audience.

DoucheVader5159d ago

Don't forget to thank the editor! :) LOL

Hard to believe only ten years ago we were just barely coming into the PlayStation 2 era...I was also only 11 years old HAH!

Well, coming from a developer which contributed to the finest sports game I've ever played running 1080p native + 60 fps, I believe every word he's got to say.

Shadow Flare5334d ago (Edited 5334d ago )

Yeah....if there's anyone out there who still thinks bluray does nothing for gaming, read this interview and then sit in a corner and dwell.

"The fact that the PS3 is bluray supported is HUGE. The 25gb single layer and 50gb dual layer was one of the best things to happen to our game"

And just a reminder:

Gran Turismo 5: 1000 cars
Forza 3: 400 cars

So yeah.....bluray is a bit handy

Nick2120045334d ago

I couldn't agree with you anymore. I would love the NFL license to expire for EA Sports and see what Sony can do with a football game on the PS3.

Rigmaster5334d ago

"if there's anyone out there who still thinks bluray does nothing for gaming"

There really isn't anyone who actually believes that damage control meme.

No one would be making such an asinine claim if this wasn't the first generation to have a console with less storage space than a previous gen.

Nick2120045334d ago

According to the Senior Producer, Blu-ray makes game development MUCH easier.

FlatulentGhost5334d ago

I really didn't understand why people always talked so highly of The Show. Just thought is was another sports game, just with PS3 level graphics.

I decided to try the demo just to finally see what people were talking about. I was absolutely blown away by how good the game is. It was really quite a shock at what a good time I had. I don't play sports games and the last one I played had to be back in the Genesis days.

Even though I don't see myself playing The Show very much if I get it with the mind boggling number of other PS3 games coming out, will probably pick it up when it drops more in price just for the sake of how much it impressed me.

ZBlacktt5333d ago

@ Shadow Flare

FXIII 1 blu-ray, or 4 to 5 DVD's :D

MGS4, KZ2, UnCharted 1 and 2, Heavy Rain, etc, etc. Not possible as stated on the other console.

ZBlacktt5333d ago

Done tastefully, not fanboyish. Good read.

G3TDOWN5333d ago

didn't you guys learn it from Killzone 2, uncharted and MGS4 ?

What's new ?

ZBlacktt5333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

G3TDOWN

I guess what's new is you can now add MLB 09 to your list of Dev's to talk about it. Point is, it's Dev's talking about "their" titles. Which as far as were considered. We could read it all day long. :D Makes ya proud to own such a machine.

TrevorPhillips5334d ago

nice interview, the game is looking great and I know there is more power on the PS3 that they can pull out.

Nick2120045334d ago

Thanks man. Glad to hear you liked the interview.

thereapersson5334d ago

If not THE greatest.

MLB: The Show is simply a must-have for ANY baseball fan.

This isn't opinion, it's hands-down a fact.

chisox1005334d ago

Sony could make an NFL franchise right now if they wanted. 2K sports has an exclusive hold on the baseball franchise rights but since The Show is not 3rd party it can be made, same with an nfl title

theroadtoruin5334d ago

@Nick212004 i was just talkin about that the other day
