Jim825 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 About a month ago, a number of us were interviewed by Ben Lindbergh, a staff writer at grantland.com on why MVP2005 is still going strong, ten years after its release. He was particularly interested in the modding community that has refused to let the game die. Grantland is a popular sports and pop-culture blog started in 2011 by veteran writer and sports journalist Bill Simmons. It is indirectly associated with ESPN. I received a message from Ben today letting me know that the article has been posted online. Here's a link to it: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/mvp-baseball-2005-mod-community-mlb-video-games/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I didn't know Grantland existed until we were contacted by Ben. It's a very thorough and well-crafted article and does this community justice. Thanks to him and to those who contributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdeftones Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Great read. My buddy sent me the link to this because he knew of my appreciation for what you folks have been doing here for 10 years. Much deserved acknowledgment for a fantastic community. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I want to publicly thank Ben Lindbergh for this article about our website. I think he did a great job capturing what this place is all about to us and his interest here is greatly appreciated. I am also very happy that I was not mentioned in the article that much because the website is not about me but rather about the modders and if you notice those were the guys (Jim, Dennis, Kyleb, Daflyboys, KCCityStar and Rising Sun) that were featured and rightfully should have been featured. That's the reason why we get visitors to the website each day because of modders like this. Nobody logs in just to find out how many people I verified today. So thank you Ben for giving those guys the recognition that they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 It would have been awesome if he had used the MVP 15 logo in the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaSteelerz Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 It also brings back memories of how EA ruined sports video games with they're greed. It infuriates me. I loved 2K football... makes me wanna boycott them (again) but I need NHL, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
