This week we have four staff members checking into the fact or fiction roundtable and answering some important questions for this week. Is MVP 05 the best baseball game ever or will MLB 09: The Show surpass it this year? Is EA or Take Two going to be bought out in 2009's weak economy? Check out their thoughts on these issues and a few more in this week's fact or fiction.

Me to. When I read the news that they had bought the HH code I was stoked thinking that they woud put out a killer game. But they did not even try.

I think I skipped 2003, I loved 2002 though. Spreadsheet style stats and 'drag/drop' rosters...MMMMMM.

2004 sucked though, since it was simply a port of the console version and everything had to be done with the joystick, no mounse support

I was also a bit surprised by M$'s decision to not do anything with the code...I guess they just decided to bury it? Too late now, unless they wanted to make a 360 exclusive, besides that HH code is probably quite 'dated' by now anyways.

Oh no...the dreaded mounse support.

I hated 2004. That's when HH lost it's appeal.
It probably had the most to do with losing manage only mode

Ha, I was curious to see if anyone would pick up on that. Leave it to Knight...you don't miss much do you, especially for an old guy

That's exactly where HH lost it's appeal. The spreadsheet style, drag and drop stuff in 2002 was awesome.
