Still the Champ

To a contemporary audience the player models can look cartoonish when compared to the current generation of offerings by Sony and 2k, but when it comes to tight, responsive control and a wise balance between realism and arcade pacing, MVP 2005 remains king of the diamond.    Hitting, pitching, and fielding have all never felt better.  MVP has  a talented mod community that has kept the rosters to-date and has even added the new ballparks built since the game's release.  While the artificial intelligence makes for a terrible GM when compared to titles like Baseball Mogul or Out of the Park Baseball, the in-game manager does a passing job of keeping up with your matchup plays. 

Highly recommended for all baseball fans.
