On February 22 of 2005, the best baseball game of all time was released to store shelfs, MVP Baseball 2005. It was on many platforms, PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, PSP, and most importantly the PC. The game was heavily improved form MVP Baseball 2004 in gameplay and features. MVP Baseball 2005 introduced Single A teams, witch hasn't been done since. MVP 05 also introduced Owner Mode, where you could create you're own stadium for the team that was chosen. Though it was very simple, creating a ballpark hasn't been seen on any baseball game since. MVPMods, who was making mods for MVP 04, were making updates for 05 as well. The PC Version didn't sell well, but it was a hit among people who wanted to update their game. In late 2005, EA bought out the exclusive rights to NFL Games to have their Madden game be the only football game on the market. EA was scared by ESPN 2K5, the best football game of all time, that only had a $19.99 pricetag and offered better gameplay with ESPN integration as well. EA could no longer afford MLB rights after the NFL buyout, so 2K bought out the rights that EA had, signaling the death of MVP MLB Baseball. EA made an MVP Baseball for NCAA in 2006 and 2007, but they didn't sell well and they didn't have a PC release. They improved MVP 05 in some ways, but it was a shame that there was no MLB Teams. MVP MLB Baseball being scraped didn't phase the crews at EAMods and MVPMods, As they released MVP 06: MLB Baseball, a total conversion mod updating the 05 game with 06 Jerseys, Rosters, Stadiums, Portraits, Cyberfaces, etc. The crew at MVPMods has accomplished so much to keep MVP Baseball 2005 alive. Lets look at the achievements of the website
6 Current Season TC Mods
45 Total Classic Mods
Over 4,000 Mods
Lets all give a big round of applause to the crew at MVPMods that has kept this great game alive!
