Fact or Fiction: Baseball Games Cometh Edition

A bit off topic, but what are the forum names of these writers? Since most of the OS discussion is IN the forums, knowing the backgrounds and opinions of these guys would be helpful.

Maybe an Arena link for each one in their names or something?

hey JohnnytheSkin, I'm Jack Hoeffel. You may see me on the forums now and then, but to be honest I haven't posted much recently.

Ha...well...yes....NO I'm only kidding.

I think you misunderstood my post.
I was saying ....take a fan(esp...nutty fan) of ANY game and they seem to put on their version of those goggles about that game.

Hey JohnnytheSkin,

I'm Ray Delizo, and I'm on here from time to time.

OK, I just popped in MVP 05 and after playing a few games, I don't see it. Maybe I'm missing something but pretty much everything that's been mentioned (ball physics, hit variety, ball/bat contact, etc...) doesn't seem as great as everyone's making it out to be. Of course, this is the PS2 version...the PC version is a completely different animal.

MVP was great for it's time (still one of my all time favs mainly because of the graphics, mini games and owner mode) but this seems to be a case of a 2 ft. long fish growing 6 inches every time the story is told...if you know what I mean Of course, no one's opinion can be wrong, you can choose to like whatever game you want, but I would rate MLB '08 higher than MVP '05, and thus believe MLB '09 will be even better.

When people get all misty-eyed about MVP '05, they tend to gloss over the up-and-to-the-right insta-HRs and the pinpoint pitching accuracy with identical breaks every throw.

I loved the stadium creator, though.

The Show would have eclipsed MVP in 2006 were it not for bugs.

theres no doubt mvp 2005 was the best at the time, but its been 4 years man. Unbelievable graphics, some new features, and RTTS make it impossible for MVP to match it. However, if EA had these 4 years to improve the game, MVP 2009 (if it existed) would blow THE SHOW out of the water.

god i have never played mvp 05 but i want a game with a stadium or team creator (or both like in madden). it would b a bit arcade-like but it would freshen up any baseball game if it was good...i wonder why not many ppl ever talk about that
