Greatest Sports Game Ever: MVP Baseball 2005

[bigdoc85]

MVP 05 was ahead of its time. However, from purely a playability standpoint, I still prefer MVP NCAA 07 Baseball which was my primary baseball game until I finally broke down and got MLB 12 The Show. I acknowledge that MVP 05 had many additional features and better graphics than MVP 07. I just think MVP 07 showed playability improvements. The reality is we can only speculate whether EA would have made the improvements necessary to make MVP comparable or better than The Show. If Madden is the benchmark, well, need I say more?

i still have mvp 2005 (ps2) to this day.....i was a 2k guy but tried mvp 2005 one day, and it was GREAT. luckily, i obtained some historic teams for this roster, so the replayability for this game will never end. it just goes to show you, it's not all about graphics, great gameplay will stand the test of time.

People want 2k football back. People want EA baseball back. The reason why these desires haven't become reality? Because they are in each others way. If only we could switch the ownership of the licenses...

I preferred MVP NCAA 07, because its dynasty was so deep and varied, but MVP 04 took the most time out of my life. I play both to this day. Didn't play 05 much, but it has my hometown Lynx in it :'( RIP Lenny The Lynx.

MVP 05 was a amazing game, mainly because of Kuip and Kruk!!!!

Actually most people can't stand the announcers, especially Kruk on color. I know there was an audio mod that took him out for the PC version. Personally, after a short while I get sick of all announcers. I'm "in" the game so I don't get the whole announcer thing anyway.

I liked the experience. Maybe its just me, but I sensed like I could get through a complete 9 inning activity a lot quicker in MVP05 than I can The Display. I keep in mind being able to get through almost a number of games or so when taking an all nighter.

Why all the time, the old games are much more apprecited then the new ones!? I think i found the answer, you never forget the first love, nor in games..so, once you started to like a game, you will love it forever. !

Actually there's a lot of "suck" to 2K's brand of baseball. The Show has its' understandable following and I'm going to give it another casual look. MVP certainly has its' flaws, but it plays a comprehensively good game with the right sliders, roster tweaks and cam angles.
