Greatest Sports Game Ever: MVP Baseball 2005

[Juggernaut55]

I've bought the last 3 or 4 MLB The Show's and they have all been great games...but towards the end of baseball season I always find myself back to playing MVP...if MVP would have had a "My Player" mode I wouldn't even bother buying the shows...also does anyone know where I can find a copy of the PC version?

That's not even debatable.

I'm not aware of a series of different websites dedicated to making modifications to the High Heat baseball series.

MVP is still the best selling baseball game of all time. A few people played it.

Very fitting winner in my book! I have played more hours of this game than any in my lifetime. It was a sad day when I gave up my PS2 knowing that I would not be able to throw in a little MVP Baseball now and again. MLB The Show has been a very worthy substitue ever since.

High Heat is the best period.

What, did I hear that correctly? Although the game has been off for since 2004, there had been mods for this game until last tuesday until you looked with your magnifying glass.

The MLB is my third favorite league behind the NFL and NBA and I am the biggest NBA 2K homer in the world, but MVP 2005 is the greatest sports simulation ever created in my opinion.

Never has a sports game got so many things right in my eyes. It was the only game where I've been able to co tinuously play franchise/dynasty mode against the computer and feel it had a perfect balance.

As a mostly online player, this game was a gem with the silky smooth online play and phenomenal gameplay. Even the mini-games were ridiculously fun and helped you get better at the actual game!

Would love to see the MVP series return and show the Madden and NBA 2K devs how to make A truly complete spors gaming experience!

I can't argue this. MVP Baseball was ahead of its time. They had features that even The Show is still missing and 8 years is a long time in terms of video game developement. I remember rainouts and rain delays. I remember the roof at Safeco slowly closing as it started to rain. To date The Show hasn't been able to implement this. I liked the mini games. Overall MVP Baseball was a better game. Had this series continued we would all be gawking over MVP Baseball 12. The Show is pretty cool in its own right but I think it still needs work to become as great as MVP was. I hope and pay EA bring MVP back next spring.
