Fact or Fiction: Baseball Games Cometh Edition

[vernond]

I'd have to say mvp was the best game to date. I think the show this year will take it over though. I played a lot of Ken Griffey jr on the 64 and All Star Baseball 02 as well. I played a ton of 2k7 but the amount of hr's and hr's robbed at the wall became too much.

[ehh]

I agree with vernond, though I'm not quite as confident after playing the '09 demo. I thought it was a slam dunk that '09 would take the crown but I need to play the retail version, the hitting system in the demo still really frustrates me and seems the same from '08.

It's just so hard to go to another baseball game after the perfect bat/ball interaction that MVP '05 had. We will see what the '09 retail has in store.

MVP 05, in terms of gameplay, was pretty much perfect (as close to perfect as you can get with a sports game - true perfection is virtually impossible). The MLB franchise plays nearly as well and if it has a few adjustments for 09, on top of the franchise mode which will blow MVP 05's franchise mode away, it has a real shot to be better. It's a tall order to top MVP 05 though, it still hasn't been done in my opinion.

Either way, we know we're getting a winner with The Show 09. MVP is gone but we still have a quality baseball game on PS3.

OK, comments like this are starting to make me wonder if there was a massive difference between the PC version and the console version. I have the PC version, and while it was a good game, it was nowhere near perfect.

Console MVP '05 gameplay was perfect if you liked to never walk hitters or hit 3-4 HR per game.

I kinda feel the same way. I still think MVP 05 is best. That's my opinion. I still think the ball physics and hit variety are way better then the show. The show has great things as well. Graphics and presentation are great in the show. MVP's fielding was the best imo.
