OS Roundtable: Most Enjoyable Baseball Game of All-Time

[jczar78]

Baseball Stars, World Series Baseball are two of the best old school games. I have fun memories of playing hours on end, when I was growing up. Of the newer generation games World Series Baseball and MVP 05 .

I never liked the hitting in MVP 05 that much. I'd have to say the High Heat series, since I played 2004 a little bit last year. I also loved the Tony Larussa series, especially TL 3 for the PC.

Ah Micro League baseball!!! I had that for the Commodore 64. Great game with the GM disk. So much fun. EWB 2 for the PC has to be a close second. It was the first time you could create and change a stadium and gameplay could be affected by the stadium size.

Tony LaRuss Baseball 96 Edition. I wore that game out. What baseball game have you seen where you could choose from 3 legends Lon Simmons, Mel Allen, Al Michaels to call your game. Some of the most beautifuly rendered ballparks i have seen. The game was way ahead of its time

[ehh]

Way too tough to call.

I think I played KGJr every night the summer it came out. I would literally play baseball or basketball w. my friends all afternoon, go swimming, then once it got dark we'd play that game for 4-8 hours straight.

MVP was better against the CPU, but nothing beat playing your against your friends in KGJr.

High Heat 2003.

Loved MVP... spent a bunch of time with it... but HH was always in another league. The MLB series has been following closely as of late on the PS3.

Most of the beloved memories with these games are from modded games. That's not exactly fair IMO... since most mods could change the essence of the original game drastically.

If MLB from Sony was a PC game...

Out of the box though... HH2003 was just a perfect balance all around.
