Can we help make MVP 2012 happen?

[Fatalah]

With 2KSports' MLB exclusivity nearing its end, are there any signs EA is bringing back the MVP franchise?

For all the MVP diehards out there -- can we create some online buzz? Let's get Peter Moore's attention!

I don't see how EA could put out a good product to compete with the other developers that are 5+ years into the current generation of baseball games. They would probably go for an arcade style Slugfest or Bigs type game that is lower budget and can go for that sort of audience exclusively.

I guarantee EA could out-do the 2K series in one release cycle. But that's not saying much. The Show on the other hand would be extremely hard for them to beat on the PS3. If I were them I'd release MVP for XBox only for a year or two just to get PS3 owners salivating over it, otherwise it could just get looked over cause MVP and the Show are very similar in the way they present the game.

Plus, 2k12 will still be exclusive. '13 is the first year you could get MVP.

I think it's ego-centric (I mean that in a global sense, not to the OP), that end-users can influence these companies, especially the major players, to make anything. It's a business move and they are not focused as much as what you want versus what can sell. For example, watch this lacrosse game that was recently made. By today's standards, from the little I've seen, it's laughable. Financially it will fail on 2 levels.... as a product it is not attractive and by and large only lacrosse enthusiasts, plus/minus 8, will most likely buy it. So why make it? Why do you think the exclusivity rights were at first pursued and then came to fruition? Money.

So your enthusiasm for a certain sports game, passionate as it may be, will have no influence on a given company...... they do this every day and have to make financially responsible decisions.

I get what you're trying to say but from what I've heard from various people around this site, the people at EA are just as excited to bring MVP back as the consumers are.

I loved this game it still has great replay value> if they stayed on track with this game I think baseball video games would be a good deal farther. It is a long shot but its so worth it.
