SynopsisYou step back into the batter's box and take a deep breath, clutching the bat in your sweaty hands. You've worked hard to get to this point, from your Little League games to your time in the minors. Now you're up to bat for the first time in the Big Leagues, and you're in a full count. The man glaring at you from the mound is someone whose baseball cards you used to trade; now, he's channeling his signature 98-mph fastball directly at you. The next pitch could determine whether you'll be taking a plane to Boston or riding a bus to Toledo. The pitcher winds up and launches one low and away. Will you belt it over the centerfield wall, or will you and your dreams go down swinging?MLB 07 steps up its game with the innovative Road to The Show career mode that lets you fast-forward and play from the player's perspective for every at-bat and defensive play as you rise through the ranks and into the Big Leagues. Pitching controls have been enhanced, with features such as Adaptive Pitching Intelligence (API) that allows you to shake off the catcher or to trust that the calls he makes are based on batter tendencies and your strengths as a pitcher. Online League Play lets you construct leagues with up to 30 teams, complete with stats tracking, point benefits and full customization.

If you're seriously into baseball, this is the game for you. It is a very realistic sim. The graphics are visually appealing, and the atmosphere is excellent, commentators are a plus. Controls are basic, and easy to learn. The fun factor makes this game! I haven't played The Show '06 so I can't compare.
I'm still playing through my season daily, one or two games a day with the limited time I have.
