I always thought the hitting was little too hard (too many soft groundout), but the PC mods fixed that. I was still playing it as recent as a year or two ago.

Amazing article. Can't believe it's been so long since MVP 05. Still have my old PS2 copy and my PC copy which the disc cracked

somewhere. I spent so many hours playing MVP 05 that this article brought back so many good memories. I wish EA would make a new one.

IMO - still the best Pre-Gen baseball game!!

I definitely logged MANY hours into this game, and until the most recent versions of The Show, probably more hours than any baseball game since. There was definitely a period of 8-10 years after MVP 05 that I didn't play much video game baseball.

As a fan of the college game, I really enjoyed MVP NCAA Baseball 06 and 07 as well and still play both of those to this day. I just really enjoyed that game engine, and while The Show is amazing these days, it's a real shame EA has never gotten back into the MLB side of things. Crazy really..

This game had actual contracts as well. Something next gen games cannot figure out for some reason.

Being able to use custom rosters online against friends. The leagues i was in with this game were awesome!

Funny story, when MVP 2004 came out I used to love the music, one song in particular "Take Me As I Am" by Seven Wiser. A few years after playing the game my buddy who is a drummer calls me up, "hey man, I got a proposition for you, do you want to play guitar in this band I just joined." I asked him, "what band?". "Seven Wiser" he said....at the time it didn't click because I hadn't played the game in a couple years. Then I was going through the songs learning them to prepare for my first practice/audition and there it was...."Take Me As I Am". I was like, "No Way!!!" I love this song. What are the odds of that. I ended up playing for them for a few years, even co wrote and released an album with them until we split in 2011. Sorry, I know its off topic but this totally reminded me of that! I miss the MVP series! Love it!
