Major League Baseball 2K7 is the latest installment in the 2K sports series, building on the success of its predecessors with new features and enhancements. The game's design has been refined to include an improved fielding and baserunning AI system, allowing players to control each baserunner individually. A new feature, pennant fever mode, enables players to take their favorite franchise all the way to the World Series Championship during the most intense part of the MLB season.
The game's Franchise mode has also been updated with 'The Farm', a new component where aspiring owners can scout and evaluate minor league players by playing full games with AAA clubs. Additionally, both the graphics engine and MLB roster have been improved. The Inside Edge feature returns, allowing player abilities to be boosted through strength, while 150 animations have been added to mimic real-life stars based on their signature style.
Other notable features include a redesigned fielding system with a dynamic throwing mechanic and online play for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. In a mini-game, players can even engage in a heated argument with the umpire by tapping a button.
