EA Sports MVP Baseball 2005 — PS2 Buy it at Amazon

Buy it from InSound

I’m a picky gamer when it comes to baseball games. I want statistics, real good stats mind you, good gameplay, and I like to abstract from fielding, opting that the computer field batted balls, while I concentrate on pitching and hitting. So when I got the 2004 version of EA Sports reversioned baseball game, I was thrilled that it was packed mostly with everything I wanted. While EA slacks off by not offering a ton of new options, they keep together all the good and thrilling parts of the game while adding some mini games, pitching/swing analysis, and some new secrets that you can unlock. Oh and did I mention that in Owner Mode you can now build your own stadium, manage all the finances, and upgrade your stadium’s seating (direly important), attractions, and restaurants. My one complaint, and it’s a very minor one, is that sometimes statistics aren’t quite right in the game—for example if you hit an inside the park homerun, the announcers will talk about it but your batter will be rewarded with a mere triple, RBI, and run scored rather than a homer! The in-game tuning options that are available make the game a unique challenge for any level of gamer. All in all, the absolute BEST baseball game out there by the company that puts out all the best sports games on the planet.
