WinnieThePujols Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Ill echo the the opinion that while the game looks and sounds the saem that we should remeber that last years game didn't need any major overhauls, and just needed to be tweaked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obredaan Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Bye then, go play your simulation ESPN 2k5. For simulation, I'd rather play OOTP. You can't get rid of me that easily. Ok I think you guys are overreacting a bit but either way I am planning on getting MVP, but in my opinion ESPN looks like it will be a better game this year. MVP has its strong points but it just does not look like EA has improved the game much over last year's game. ESPN just feels alot more like High Heat and that is what I am looking for. Fanboy comments aside I am entitled to an opinion and if you don't like it just don't read it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 we should remeber that last years game didn't need any major overhauls That could be debated, the worst flaw in the game couldn't be modded: the lefty bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpup Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I think all his comments are dead on and yes there is a better baseball game than MVP, its called ESPN 2k5 and will be a much better simulation than the arcade style of EA. you know that you just lost any credibility that you had, don't you? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I would be terribly happy to get ESPN 2k5 if it came out on the PC, but since it doesn't, I guess I'm sorta screwed. The presentation seems to be stellar, the owner mode seems incredibly well done (the jury is out, obviously, on how EA will manage it), but the game play just seems to be lacking. I don't see anything particularly interesting about the k-zone pitching system, the sound in the game is just awful, the characters just look cartoony to me, and, I don't know, it just doesn't look quite as interesting. I would mainly get the game for owner mode since something like OOTP takes about 20 minutes to run a game on my computer, and I would like to be able to jump in on occasion and play it myself. But, until espn decides to start making games for the PC, I guess I won't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obredaan Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 you know that you just lost any credibility that you had, don't you? I don't care about credibility, I'll leave that to you since you have made some awesome rosters and stuff for NBA Live(which I am using). Also looking forward to seeing your MVP rosters but I've just begun to lose patience with EA these last couple of years. Lefty-bug and other issues aside MVP is a solid game but I would not consider it a simulation like High Heat was. ESPN 2k4 had many problems too (no stolen bases and cheesy swing animations) but it just felt more like a High Heat game which is what I am looking for. Either way I will be buying both games, I will enjoy both games and will have the best of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I will be buying both games and will enjoy both games and I will have the best of both worlds. Lefty bug? I had PC version and it was fixed . Anyways I have always found since MVP was made (after triple play series died) It has been best baseball expierence and I will stick to MVP for it's last year which EA will give there best effort to make MVP 2005 the best and if you tell me otherwhise well then thats your problem because I will still get MVP and not stupid MLB 2k5 powered by ESPN or MLB by 989.

Too bad console owners had to wait until MVP2005. Have you even played ESPN or High Heat? To each his own I guess but why play only 1 game when there are 3 solid games out there? I hope MVP 2005 will be able to live up to what EA has been promoting so that I can be proven wrong because in the end all that matters is that we get the best game possible.

The H Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I have played them all... and not only this past year... but since the days of Earl Weaver baseball (a looooooooong time ago). High Heat was a top notch series, maybe the greatest of all... but that series is no longer with us... MVP, even with all its defects, is a very good game... more 'rounded' and 'solid' than the 2k series, which is just living off the 'halo' that surrounds the ESPN brandname. Now, I'm not saying that MVP is the 'almighty' of them all this year... but it is, quite possible, the most 'robust' one. As always, I'll get one game for my PC and at least one other for my console, but for the latter, I'll go the rental way first... and most likely will start with MLB 2006 and then 2k5, but from the looks of it, there's a good chance 2k5 won't even make it.

I loooooved Earl Weaver, that was the first game I ever played that allowed the user to create his own stadium. Truly a gem back in the day!

RonBurgundy Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Why does everyone suck up to EA so much? The game is the same thing as last year only without the lefty glitch and a Create-A-Ballpark feature that we all KNOW will be full of glitches...

obredaan Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 High Heat was great the whole series was great. ESPN I actually did play and I just couldn't get around how bad it was from graphics to boring gameplay. I took it back to ebgames within 3 days. I thought about doing the same thing after buying 2k4 but after a couple of weeks I began to see why so many people were saying it plays alot like High Heat. The graphics sucked and there is nothing more than can be said about that but where the game really impressed me was when I would see realistic pitch counts and multiple foul balls in one at bat which is something you almost never see in MVP. What pissed me off about 2k4 was the fact that the CPU would never be able to steal a base. I could throw out the CPU easily everytime. I played for about a month and tried tweaking rosters and sliders but nothing worked. If they fix this in 2k5 and the graphics seem to have improved a great deal this year than I will be very happy with the game. The fielding is top notch and most of all the game gives realistic statistics throughout the course of a season. MVP has all the eye-candy but I could never play an entire season since the stats would never come out realistic at all. I hope 2005 has improved in this area but after seeing the 9 inning video it looks like the pitch counts are still way too low. This year promises to be the last great year for baseball games as there are 3 solid titles on the way which is something we will most likely never see again.

Why you bash MVP on a site made to enhance our MVP expierence? Do you see me going to a MLB 2K5 site and bashing the bad stuff from MLB 2K5?

pet1 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I don't mind if this years mvp is very similar to 2004's. Last season's mvp was excellent. Why make severe changes. That's perfect a touched up version of last year is all I want. Then there is this website. With all the mods and knowledge from 2004 edition, 2005 will be even better. I can't wait.
