Just got finished reading the review of ESPN Baseball and I'm happy I bought MVP and didn't wait. Take a gander:

Doesn't mean you have to buy it right.

True. But then again I have never like EA Sports games and I really wanted a baseball game this year.

 

 

Damned if I do and Damned if I don't. :mischief2

I bought it for Xbox, if you liked the gameplay on 2k3, you'll like this one. I find the game very fun but the EA one has a much deeper franchise mode and better graphics in some areas. I bought it mainly because this one has online play on Xbox and MVP doesn't.

Online is always a + :thumbup

BTW, how is an 8.4 a bad score? It's still a very good score.

In my book, anything over a 7.0 is a good game. So a 8.4 is not a bad score at all

what score did MVP get?

A 9.0 on that site (for the Xbox, I don't know if it scored differently on PS2).

The way I see it, if you dont mind shelling out the cash, go for it. I'm happy with MVP and will wait for Sega's offering next year.

Well yeah, getting 2 baseball games is probably worthless, but it depends which one you prefer. I love playing online so that choice was pretty easy for me.

the thing is that espn baseball has pretty much treaded water this year from what i hear.

 

 

while mvp baseball has taken leaps and bounds to drastically improve...something predicted would happen in 2-3 years when EA Sports changed the name to MVP baseball last year.

Yeah, MVP is probably the better overall game, if it had online play that's what I would have purchased.

EA Sports usually puts out the best products.

If you want something to disprove that theory go look at any of the Triple Play games. Yeeesh.
