The scenario editor is also fairly interesting. Instead, you pick from a list of managerial choices, and the outcome of each play is printed onscreen in a running box score. You don't actually see the players swing or make plays.

Fans of text-based baseball management simulations, which are popular on the PC platform, will appreciate the manager mode, where each at-bat is simulated based on the choices you make before the opening pitch. The exhibition mode, of course, lets you quickly set up a game against another team, and it lets you both pick a starting pitcher and adjust your lineup, if need be.

New rosters can be downloaded to the Xbox and PS2 versions of the game by accessing their online play menus.Īs far as play modes go, MVP Baseball 2005 includes an exhibition mode, a manager's mode, two different franchise modes, a scenario editor, and a handful of baseball-themed practice games. Two legends teams, 63 legendary players, 15 classic stadiums, five fantasy parks, and more than 100 retro uniforms round out the list of included "stuff." Rosters are current as of January 12, 2005, and the game even includes the Washington Nationals, along with their temporary home, RFK Stadium. This year's installment now includes single-A ball clubs as well, giving each MLB team three levels of minor league farm clubs. Last year's game was the first to include authentic minor league teams and actual minor league players by including double-A and triple-A-level farm teams. Like every other baseball video game, MVP Baseball 2005 includes all 30 official Major League Baseball teams and stadiums, as well as the more than 1,000 individual players that populate each team. MVP Baseball 2005 is easy to play, despite the sim-style controls and numerous franchise options. Meanwhile, some upgrades are downright subtle, like all the graphical tweaks and extra player animations that ultimately add up to help this latest game look and feel even more realistic than last year's. Other upgrades are minor, such as the optional hitter's eye, batter's box, and manager tirade features. Some of these upgrades are significant, such as the addition of an ownership-based franchise mode and the inclusion of single-A minor league teams, not to mention the ability to finally be able to set up custom tournaments in the online mode (in the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions). EA Sports has simply taken last year's game, improved it in myriad ways, and then tacked on a few new features to make the end result that much more appealing. The game now runs smoothly with no apparent issues, on near out-of-the-box settings (other than the OpenGL renderer, 4x Native internal res, & allowing 8-bit textures, I believe all of my settings are at 1.6.0's fresh-install defaults).MVP Baseball 2005 doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. The game loaded & menu navigation was fine, but it would freeze & crash PCSX2 consistently when trying to enter an on-field game mode. I first ran with MTVU enabled (OpenGL & default settings). This game seems to be one of the games that doesn't play well with the usually-harm less MTVU hack.

In addition to enhanced offensive tools, this year's installment in the MVP Baseball series includes an improved dynasty mode, a spring training mode, and an all-new owner mode. The game highlights its new Hitter's Eye controls, which give you more control of your swing, movement in the batter's box, and the ability to read the pitch. Game description: MVP Baseball 2005 offers more features that let you take control of your favorite major league baseball team both on and off the field.
