Minnesota Twins Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I am interested in the climate of the general opinion of which game is just plain better. The poll on the other hand asks specifically... which game are you playing. I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 and loaded MLB 2k9. After more than 5 disheartening attempts at a franchise in 2K9, I think I am moving back to MVP Baseball. Thank You for contributing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkmanAnt Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm playing MVP '09!! Trying to build it up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked420 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 You should also post this in the MVP 2005 section. In the 2K9 area you are more likely to get 2K9 votes. I am mainly playing 2K9, but I play MVP sometimes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TribeFan4Eva Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I bought the Show and 2k9 and sold them both within 2 weeks. MVP just has that fun factor and enjoyability I can't find in any other game. I play in online leagues and vs the computer. MVP is timeless!

Hoop27 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm playing both. However I'm playing 2k9 for the most part. I started playing TC'51 which is excellent, however MVP is really starting to feel dated. I will play both because of the classics but most likely I'll stick with 2k and try to help make it better.

Playing an MVP style game is "minimal user influence". I actually wish 2k9 would have kept the fielding and throwing from 2k8, because there was even more user influence than there is in 2k9. I absolutely love HH2003, MVP08, but after playing 2k7/8/9, and with mods coming and coming ... I just can't go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HFLR Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 MVP 05 + 2008 + Caribe + Classics + Nippon = WIN MLB2K9 = FAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkmanAnt Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I cannot go back to MVP. That's what I thought many times, but the bonehead mistakes on and off the field were ridiculous. The game just completely shuts off on and off the field at times too! Lovin' me sum MVP rite now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lundermann Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm playing 2K9 and having very few AI issues now that i have: turned the fielding indicator to fixed, found very good sliders that i now have adjusted to my playing style, and the number one issue fix for me was going from a saitek controller to a $20 logitech gamepad...almost all of the fielding errors and menu glitches went away=)!!!!!...with the hopes of another patch coming and fixing some of the franchise issues, MVP is a thing of the past for me.

philthepat Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Well im a big franchise player, and since 2k9's version of this is unplayable, im back on MVP. Which is great! Unless there is a patch with a major overhaul of the buggy franchise mode (which there wont be), ill never play 2k9 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddux31 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Could it also be that some users do not have the computer to handle 2K9? I think that should have also been an option in the vote. I know just before I built my new computer, my old one was having an difficult time handling 2K9...Just to have a more realistic idea, I would suggest adding that as one of your poll options.

gobluen07 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I go back and play mvp 08 sometimes, but I play 2k9 the majority of the time. I still have a lot of fun with 2k9, there are some flaws but nothin game breaking, not for me anyway. I have a have a hard time staying interested in my mvp franchise, just been playing it for too long I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a valid point because I am in the area of wanting to try 2K9 and would get the demo if I met the minimum requirements, but MVP is just flat out amazing. I've played 2K8 on xbox and I didn't like it because I'm too attached to MVP. Greatest baseball game ever made. I hate EA's guts for selling the rights to make MVP....

emath2432 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 They didn't sell the rights, they got out bid.... Which doesn't make it suck any less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abclefty12 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I've gone back and forth on this one! But, I'm playing 2k9 right now. I have been playing MVP since the day it came out, and nothing can top the gameplay. But it's time for something new. 2k9 is a solid game when you make a few adjustments like the locking the fielding indicator among other things. 2K9 looks especially promising with the possibility of a 3rd patch and the attention from the greatest modders ever.

InSainn Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Playing MVP and the Show over at a friends house when I have the chance. I will NOT EVER play MLB 2K9 again, nor any other 2K release... Anyone who honestly believes it's a good game doesn't know what realistic baseball is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattnorcott Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I cannot for the life of me understanding why this debate is even happening, the mlb 2k series is awful. And besides this website is called mvpmods.com, it pisses me off that the downloads section is being dominated by 2k9 updates, there should be a separate website for it. MVP 2005 is the greatest baseball game ever made, and its should be the focus of ALL modding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleChange11 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 What more can be modded on MVP? We've got basically all the stadiums, uniforms, datafiles, overlays, gloves, rosters, etc that are possible. The only thing left to mod, essentially, is to have every single year of baseball history available as a mod. Is there anyone willing to make those? I was surprised that the modders were moving to 2k9, and that's essentially why I purched the game (along with the total controls). I get the feeling that there's basically nothing left to explore for MVP. Still, they're updating everything for the 2009 version ... so both parties (2k9 and MVP08/09), as well as those that play both, should be happy. With the exception of walks (and I know from reading OS forums, The Show has the same challenge), I find that 2k9 plays rather realistic, and I keep track of team stats to track it (I've posted my results in other threads, and they're pretty right on). I remember quite a few people hanging on to EWB until BBPRO (also Tony LaRussa Series) came out, and BBPRO guys hung on until High Heat came out, and the same thing seems to be existing with MVP.

maddux31 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 MATTNORCOTT, You have 3 whole post here. Your irritated that there are 2K mods in the download section, and you say that there should be another website for that? Are you paying for it? Come on get real...

Jayr2112 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 After I played 2k9 for a frustrating week, I came over to MVP because I want realism, and that's just what MVP delivers. The mods give MVP the "timeless" tag because the classic years will always be intriguing. Until someone makes the classics on a better, newer-gen game that delivers good gameplay, I will be playing MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
