2K Sports Brings Signature Style to Major
League Baseball 2K7
Signature Style animations, detailed player
models, and newly redesigned stadiums elevate the next generation baseball
experience
2K Sports, a publishing label of Take-Two
Interactive Software, Inc. announced today new standard-setting features for
Major League Baseball®2K7. Major League Baseball 2K7, the only MLB® simulation
video game on every major platform, features next generation graphics,
authentically detailed ballparks and Signature Style player animations,
delivering the most authentic and electrifying Big League video game experience
ever created.
With Signature Style, 2K Sports has added over
150 unique player animations to Major League Baseball 2K7. Gamers will instantly
recognize the unique pitching styles, batting rituals, and characteristic
movements of their favorite MLB® players. Additionally, great attention to
detail has been given to replicate the exact look of how each player wears his
uniform and accessories, accurately giving each player their signature look.
“The attention to detail to all MLB players in
Major League Baseball 2K7 is simply astounding,” said Greg Thomas, president of
Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. “With the power of the next generation
systems, we’re making big steps in delivering not only the exact look of each
MLB player, but also how they act in the batter’s box, how pitchers deliver from
the stretch, and the ritualistic movements of particular baseball players.
Through Signature Style, we’re making each player in Major League Baseball 2K7
look and act more like their real-life counterparts, setting a new standard for
all next generation baseball games.”
The level of detail has also been dramatically
enhanced around the players, as Major League Baseball 2K7 features hyper-detail
in every virtual ballpark. From the completely redesigned architecture of each
stadium, the different bullpen areas, the authentic monuments in every city, and
the distinct fan atmosphere for every team, gamers will enjoy a new experience
in every game. The virtual ballpark experience is further enhanced with dazzling
new presentation elements including new replay effects, unique camera angles,
high-tech overlays, and much more.
Major League Baseball 2K7 will be available for
the Xbox 360™ and Xbox® video game and entertainment systems from Microsoft, the
PLAYSTATION®3 and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment systems, Game Boy®
Advance, the Nintendo DS™, and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system. Additional
features and enhancements that take the virtual Major League Baseball experience
to the next level will be announced in advance of the release of Major League
Baseball 2K7 in late winter.
