To start off, MVP Baseball ’05 blew away the competition this year. ESPN was okay, and MLB 2006 was a little too ameteur for MVP calibur. In English, MVP Baseball is the best baseball game they are offering right now.To start off, the pitching meter returns. Last year, the pitching meter was very easy to master, and you would be painting corners with pitchers like Boof Bonser after pitching over 9 innings. As for hitting, it was a little easy. But this year, the pitching is not as easy to master as quickly, and if your pitcher is fatigued, you may have trouble spotting pitches. As for this years hitting, it is a little harder to score runs unless a horrid pitcher is pitching (a las Boof Bonser) and if your facing Mark Prior or Pedro Martinez, it can get a little difficult.They included an Owner Mode in which you own every aspect of your MLB team, from the giveaway days to ticket prices to what they are going to sell at the concession stands. You design your own stadium, (which isn’t that great) and you can fire and hire coaches and scouts like real owners love doing. The old Dynasty Mode returns, and this is where we get to the bad part about the game……where is the creativity? I think the producers just popped in MVP Baseball 2004, added new players and improved little aspects. The game is too much like last years game, and if they would of included the small details, then this could of been a much better game then it already is. So, what should you buy… MVP!Now it come.

I really enjoy this game, going back to the “Triple Play” days. Granted, the play-by-play team, while professional broadcasters are given only a few lines of script are a little on the stale side after about 4 or 5 games. But all in all, it’s a lot of fun. There are cheats out there that allow for the full compliment of awards (Throwback jerseys, HOF players, and stadiums); but part of the fun is to work one’s way through the entire season and see how many points one racks up.I have noticed the “Classic Stadiums” are presented in an archival film footage style. Meaning newer “Classic Stadiums”, like the Astrodome and the Expos’ two ballparks (in Quebec and Puerto Rico) are as colorful as, say Yankee Stadium. However, Metropolitan Stadium and Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium are presented as a faded, slightly yellowed night time scene. Shibe Park and the Polo Grounds are almost a sepia toned “worn out” film presentation. Which is understandable, considering the age of the ballpark itself…The “Owner Mode” is fun, but it’s tough to keep interest after a few months of owning; “Create a Stadium” gives you basically 5 templates, nothing more, to start out.”Franchise Mode” is the best part. Not only does it give you the chance to make trades and send down/call up players, but also lets you try your hand at some single A minor league games; the Single-A ballparks are very small, and the crowds are sparse…giving you a definite appreciation for the long (or short) journey from.

Runs great there are some scratches that make the game stop for a split sec and then it starts again. Luv playing this game growing up hands down probably the one of the best baseball game around

I absolutely love this game, even today. I really wish EA would have been able to keep their MLB line of games. One of my favorite things about this game is the soundtrack, probably one of the best I’ve ever heard on a sports video game. Even though it’s dated, I would still recommend playing.

Having played a full 162 game season with MVP 2004, I was looking forward to MVP 2005 being the definitive PC baseball game- and while there are some notable improvements, my final verdict is still, reluctantly, “Wait till next year.”The graphics are superb, with a slight upgrade over MVP 2004 with some better animations, with errors especially now more realistically animated- BUT, not without some very peculiar-looking new animations too; some of the new animations for swinging strikes are just plain awful, and bring to mind the old Little League taunt, “You swing like a rusty gate.” Overall, however, the graphical representation is easily the best on the game market for baseball, and is a major source of enjoyment in playing the game.The sound of the game is dead on, again, but also with the same tiresome commentary, especially from Mike Krukow. It gets old, fast. The ESPN game commentaries, by comparison, are far superior.The various game modes are fine, especially the new owner mode (for those who love to micromanage down to the level of how much you will charge for hot dogs in your stadium), but there is STILL no single season mode, which is aggravating.But the heart of any sports game is the gameplay. MVP 2005 continues to do a pretty good job with this, but despite an attempt to make pitching more challenging, walks are still few and far between, even with the many slider bar adjustments available. Though the meter bar is harder to hit precisely with player-controlled.

MVP Baseball 2005 is the closest game currently on the market to give you the most in-depth baseball experience possible. In my opinion, the only people not liking some aspects of this game will be New York Yankees fans. It’s not only Manny on the cover, but also the intro video, cracks and comments throughout the games and even a song praising Boston’s first title in 86 years. Well, all I can say is, if you can’t overlook those things, you’re missing one fantastic game. Let’s break it down:Owner Mode:New this year is Owner Mode where you begin with picking a stadium (not one of the existing ballparks, but a starter stadium) and making a few upgrades (seating, lights, whatever you can afford before opening day). You can add a restaurant, set ticket prices, make promotional days and on and on.You have a financial advisor for the season, budget reports, player contracts, etc. One note: Yes, you can be the owner and play the game just like you would in Dynasty Mode. You can sim, play individual games, manage the game or sit in your luxury box and watch it all take place. There is so much to this mode that I couldn’t possibly fit it into this review.Dynasty Mode:This mode is essentially the same as last year. Keep the owner happy, the players, do contracts and play the games. It’s been updated and tweaked for more user friendly experience. And I can’t leave out that this year, you even have single-A teams in addition to AA, AAA, and MLB.Mini Games:Instead of just a Home Run Derby.

nice game

I have been palying baseball games since The NES and I have to say MVP is the best and Most in depth Baseball i have ever played.Lets start with the graphics- The graphics are probaly the best i have ever seen in a sports game. They are crisp and clean and the Player Faces look amazing. The stadiums are meticoulsy designed and beat anything I have ever seen in a baseball game. The player animations look flawless and are very well done.Audio- The menu music is okay, but some songs are extremley annoying. The announcers are ok, they do reapeat stuff but name one sports game taht doesnt. They have done something with the Audio in the Fact that they give u stats throughout the season.I.E: Hideki Matsui is batting .323 and has 14 HRs.GamePlay- It is probaly the best gameplay I have ever seen. The pitching is teh same as last year except instead of all or nothing accuracy there are different areas for accuracy. The green means perfect accuracy while getting it in the red will make your pitch be a strike but not as accurate.The Fielding utilizes the Big Play stick which lets you control diving, jumping and leaping. Also the cut off is very well done where as in many games it doesnt feel right MVPs cutoff man actually does his job.Batting has a new feature called teh hitters eye it is very useful and helps tremendously with batting.Running is the same as last year except the BIG Play stick used for sliding has been done a little betterGame Modes- MVP 2005 offers a wide Variety of gam.
