What Parents Need to Know

About Major League Baseball 2K7

Parents need to know that this baseball simulation is a sanitized version of what you would see at a real ballpark -- these players don't chew tobacco, spit, or scratch themselves. The purity and beauty of the sport on display here might even encourage a family trip to the ballpark. Kids will see some advertising in the simulated parks. The game has an online mode; Common Sense Media doesn't recommend online play for anyone under 12.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about baseball and sports. Why do you think athletes are considered role models? Is it because of how they play the game or how they live their lives? How is baseball different from other sports, and what makes it so popular with families? Families can also discuss consumerism and sports. Are ads in sports games part of creating a realistic experience, or are game makers attempting to sell things to young players?
