nick Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Yes, you can play it. I think that you can choose the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROR Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 home field has always been AL one year, NL next year, The all Star Game determines home field for the world series(which is stupid). You can choose the stadium but AL will have the home field for the 2005 All Star Game(Comerica Park - Detroit Tigers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low42 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 The all Star Game determines home field for the world series(which is stupid). Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnycast27 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 well how else can they decide who else gets home field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarisslbm Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 The team with the better regular season record, I would think. But now they could do it, with interleague play, as the winner of the series the two teams may have played. But they will never try in the All-Star game. Case in point - Selig called it once! Maybe if they did the All-Star game at the end of the year like in football... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 home field has always been AL one year, NL next year, The all Star Game determines home field for the world series(which is stupid). You can choose the stadium but AL will have the home field for the 2005 All Star Game(Comerica Park - Detroit Tigers). That's not going to be the case for the next two years. PNC Park in Pittsburgh hosts next year's All-Star Game (a mere 12 years after they last hosted it at Three Rivers) and SBC Park in San Francisco will host the 2007 All-Star Game (breaking the alternating AL-NL format for at least one season)...

bravesj858 Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 ok, back to the orignal question...in mvp 2005, does the all star game determine home field? if not, what does? and a new question: when playing the game, do you control all the players in your league or just the ones from your team?

crawdad5000 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Nick...are you sure you can play it? I don't see any options to click on to start the game under the "play next game" screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAM Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 you can play it but, MAYBE only if you have players that made the team. not sure i had 2 dudes make the team so i was able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freudianslip Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 you can play it but, MAYBE only if you have players that made the team. not sure i had 2 dudes make the team so i was able to.Actually, if I am not mistaken (and it is entirely possible that I am mistaken), I believe the MLB has a rule that at least 1 player from each team must be placed onto the all-star roster. Thus, it would be impossible for one to face a situation where the game is not playable b/c a player from your team did not make the All-Star squad for his respective league. HTH :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAM Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 true, you're right about the MLB rule. but i think the game will still only allow only 25 guys per team , NOW i could be wrong on that one. when i played i don't recall seeing a guy from each team though. regardless you can play it (or i could at least). as far as it determining home field? have no clue on that one yet. EDIT- yeah i just checked the roster in mvpedit and it only has 25 players on both all star squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT_Braves_Fan Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 bravesj858, ok, back to the orignal question...in mvp 2005, does the all star game determine home field? if not, what does? and a new question: when playing the game, do you control all the players in your league or just the ones from your team? I won the All-Star Game, had home field in the World Series. Don't know if there is any connection or not. You control everyone on the team.

nick Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I think you can always play the All-Star Game, but I'm not 100% sure. I have always had at least one of my players make the All-Star squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
