    EA fixed most everything wrong with MVP 2004 while enhancing the all around touch and feel of the game. The sights, the sounds, the atmosphere, it’s all beautifully executed. I can’t put it down. For $30, you won’t find a cheaper way to spend your s Read more

    For those who might have missed out on playing past versions of MVP Baseball, one of the biggest things that the series introduced to the genre (and can now be seen in other games like 989’s MLB 2006 and Take Two’s MLB 2K5) was the pitching meter. This pitching meter, when mastered, enabled pitchers to paint the corners of the plate and change speeds based on the timing of button presses. The main difference between this year’s game and past MVP versions is the... Read more
