Well, I've had this game for over a year. I've played hundreds of 9-inning games. It is fun to play but there are a ton of glitches. Players can run through one another and its easy to throw out a person from deep in the outfield.

The commentary is the worst part. It hardly ever matches the actual game play. One specific example comes to mind. I was playing a season game, in the bottom of the second inning. I was winning 2-1 and each team had 4 hits. After striking out a computer (AI) player for the second out in the inning, Jon Miller says "And look at that Joe, he struck him out and he is now 1 out from a no-hitter." As I said, each team had already had 4 hits.

Also, when you switch positions during a game, the statistics will almost always be given to the player who is no longer in the game. For example, say your shortstop gets injured after his first at bat in a game, and you move your 2nd baseman over to shortstop and bring in a new 2nd baseman. For the rest of the game, your injured shortstop will recieve all of the stats of the 2nd baseman that was moved to shortstop. Pretty wierd.

But, after saying all of that, I still play the game and will continue to do so.

I don't know.

I was psyched to get this until the bad reviews. I too love MVP, and you know what? I'm still using MVP 2005 - just keep adjusting teams & rosters, create players, & update everything to 2006, and you don't need to buy anything else.

Well, just let me say something.....

For one, I don't know what's all the crying about. Ok, granted that everything in this game is'nt picture perfect. But then again, what baseball game out there trully is??? To be honest, I have'nt really seen a picture perfect baseball videogame sine "World Series Baseball 2" (96) for the sega saturn, for the time that, that came out... I just think that there are alot of people out there who are very ingratefull about accepting a videogame for whatever it's worth. Look, trying to make a videogame to everybody's likings in the world is merely impossible (you can't please everybody)... Yes, I have to agree that there are some things that could have been made different, but none the less, I think that this is a good game... You know what gets me is the fact that there are people out there giving this so called "MVP Baseball 2K5" better ratings. Come on, for real... Man, get out of here with that trash!!! For one, you want to talk about graphics and stuff??? Well let me tell you that those baseball players images looks like the bobble heads... Ain't no freaking player looks like that in real life!!! And I don't care how much they try to make their faces look real. I heard that EA sports lost their rights to make anymore MLB games, good!!! Because just for that alone (among other things) was a dissgrace to the sport of "BASEBALL"...

terrible, terrible

I think this game is excellent... the graphics are improved, the game play is easy and very realistic. The pitching interface is easy to use and once you understand it you?ll have a lot of fun with the braking balls. The batting is diferent and more realistic this year with the "Swing stick"; you can also use the "Classic swing" with the normal buttons if you like. With the fielding you have to practice, in order to master the new "momentum" of the players, but it?s not difficult at all. With this feature 2K Sports is adding realism to the game, trying to emulate the laws of phisycs. One key element for the game this year is the "Inside Edge" scouting reports, which are very accurate and usefull, specially in season or GM modes. You can customize every aspect of the game in the "Game Settings", like the stamina of the pitchers, the contact of the batters, the frecuency of the base stealing, the range of the infildres, etc., etc. I see a lot of frustated MPV fans that have played MLB 2K6 2 or 3 times, and they?re already talking bad about this game...actually my brother use to play MVP before, and this year he tried the 2K6...at first he was a little bit apprehensive, but once he got use to it (after 2 games) he had a lot of fun...at the end he had to admit that this game is very good and in many aspects better than EA?s MVP...We?re going to play a full season of 2K6 now...!

Not the best, but not the worst

This game is a big step from last years but there are alot of bad things too. Like if you run into the wall you stay down for 30 seconds while all the baserunners score. Graphics are mediocre (compared to MVP 2005). Good things are the swing stick control makes game more realistic and a little more challenging. Overall it is very fun once you get used to it, but you will be frustrated sometimes when you are getting used to it and when you get picked off at a base when you round it after a hit.

2k Blows It!!

I really liked the 2k5 version of this game for many reasons; 1) I like Morgan's & Millers' commentary as their voices are not irritating, 2) the price was a steal at $20 brand new! 3) good game play for the $$$$ and some nice extras (ie...old stadiums, teams, uniforms, etc...), 4) the affiliation with ESPN and the Baseball Tonite guru Karl Ravitch and their great theme song. I was so looking forward to the 2k6 edition, believing that they would improve on an already great product...WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!!! The price doubled, gone is the ESPN affiliation, team rankings and stats are horribly inaccurate, Morgan & Miller have a few added lines of dialogue but usually say them to action on the field that doesn't apply to what occured, same classic stadiums, teams and uniforms instead of adding a few more or changing them up (what about adding the Astrodome?). The gameplay from fielding to hitting sucks! Diving & wall climbs are impossible (at least for me so far, when in the 2k5 edition they were easy to master quickly). Simple outs, double plays and outfield fielding all suffer from poor design compared to 2k5. I like the managers being able to argue calls but some get ejected with only minor arguing and then the teams subs are controlled by the system, not the player which sucks big time! I really wished I'd not spent my money on this and you will be sorry you spent yours if you buy it. I can only hope they get it right next time and reunite with ESPN again as well.

Poorly Written

I have to admit that there is some elegance to the statistical aspect of the game, but that is it! First, the commentary is always inaccurate. Second, saving and loading (profiles, settings, season, etc.) is cumbersome. Third, the game is flakey; you can tell they rushed this out the door without doing any QA. Save your money and play previous versions until 2007.

Bring back MVP BASEBALL

Being a huge fan of the MVP series I was saddened when I heard they wouldn't release a new game. After I finally got over that and got excited for this game, I was let down even more than I could have ever imagined. the graphics are awful, the gameplay is very stiff. The pitching is completely terrible & I absolutely hated the camera angles for pitching & fielding. This game is a disgrace for MLB & 2k Sports should also be disgusted with themselves. If you loved MVP BASEBALL I assure you that you will hate this game.
