Three Things MVP 05 Still Does Better

[snugglyirishman]

Wow lots of pent up anger to actually go on a forum and insult someone? I was seconding the statement in the article about the lack of perception not that i wanted to hit a homerun every at bat...

MVP 05 Is still the standard and I doubt if the changes. It's sometimes harder to do more with more, as opposed to more with less. The New Console have hardly used their capabilities in most aspects, but it will admit MLB 09 The Show has arguably the best graphics ever in a sports game.

Im not one that was ever big on the hitters eye and all that. I played in High School myself and my thing was always staying patient and not over-striding. So, Im more of a guy that sees the ball, waits and tries to put a late charge in it. Not big on trying to dictate where it ends up. Good article.

Actually, for me, baseball in a videogame ended with the height of the High Heat Baseball series, 2002. I still play that on my PC. I have tried MVP 05 on my Xbox, MLB 2k8 on my 360 and MLB 09 on my PSP, but I always find myself going back to HH2k2 on my PC.

I loved High Heat on the PC as well. But I really can't see myself still playing it. It's really outdated. I think if you'd give The Show a shot on the PS3, you would be pleasantly surprised. It's the first game that I can honestly say is better than High Heat.

And as far as MVP goes, MEH! I was never a fan. I thought it played a horrible game of baseball, and they always neglected us Manage Only folks. For everything that it supposedly had, I still can't believe there was no way to manage a game. To each his own, but it's ridiculous that people are still talking about that game four years later. It's dead. Let...it...go.....

Ummm... No.

The fact that many are debating the pros and cons of each and that these arguments are very close truly speaks to how great MVP 05 was and still is. I have the Show and love it but I don't understand why the hatin' on this thread being here?

A better baseball game is what we are all after. I don't think the writer dissed the Show that badly at all.

He got some facts wrong, just wondering about this being in this forum.

If we can't start threads comparing MLB2k and The Show, why this one? If you or I would have put a comparison here it probably would have been closed.

Yeah, this is the thing I don't get.

To throw in my two cents, though, after one game I have already put MVP to bed. I saw so much stuff in my game last night that I never did on MVP... longer pitch counts, longer at bats, more walks... and this was all on Veteran with default sliders. Was MVP a great game? Certainly, and I still would be playing it now if the LCD TV I got didn't have lag issues with my PS2. But The Show completely destroys MVP, no doubt in my mind.
