In late February, Kush Games and 2K Sports released the latest chapter in their baseball franchise, MLB 2K7. While the title managed to fix a large number of problems from last year's title, it featured a number of visual glitches, baserunning and fielding issues, as well as other problems that turned up to replace them. Earlier this week, 2K Sports held a wrap up session with Ben Brinkman, the producer of MLB 2K7 and a select group of journalists. The reason for the gathering was simple -- Brinkman wanted to go over the good and bad points of this year's title, as well as discuss what his development team hopes to achieve with MLB 2K8.

While the quantity of videos is somewhat lacking, the quality is top notch. Don't believe me? See for yourself:"

No, you have to wear a helmet because you're retarded...
Actually I really liked both clips better than HipHopGamer's stuff and it even looks like this guy has a bigger budget :)
Anyone still playing Major League Baseball 2k7 from 2K Sports would have been delighted to receive a patch towards the end of last week, one that included a roster update amongst others. However, as with most things, there seems to be a problem that almost everyone is experiencing, to do with corrupted data. Sweet joy.
Firstly, a list of changes that the update seems to have done:
* Classic stadium: Many classic stadiums will arrive soon in marketplace
* Slider saving glitch: Has been fixed
* Offline/Online Fielding Camera added: Broadcast or Pole
* ERA saving bug: The franchise ERA works properly
* Player Highlights time of day glitch: Exhibition mode the time clock is fixed and players get the highlight treatment
* Hideki Okajima, Kei Igawa, and Matsuzaka now have their own windups
* Matsuzaka's picture has been added
A great game always has the uncanny ability to make you disregard minor flaws and annoyances in order to keep playing.
2K7 has this kind of magic with Major League Baseball 2k7, and, for the first time in what seems like ages, has captured the magic of pro ball.
