MVP Baseball 2004 - First-hand impressions from OS at EA Canada!

I know that the contracts are points instead of dollars, but are the years for the contracts correct? ie Player A is a free agent after this season so he will be on the game as well?

Did you get to mess around with the player editor at all?
If so, How long of names could you make with it?


Any idea on the number of minor league stadiums (I know they are fake)?

---

I didn't mess with the player editor, sorry I spent most of my time playing the actual game.

3 AA and 3 AAA minor leauge stadiums.

When it shows a player with a red frown to show he's unhappy, does it give an explanation along with it, or is it up to you to figure out what he's pissed about?

---

You've touched on a big one there.

According to the design team, here are the four major components of "happiness" - and each player may have different preferences regarding these factors:

1. Personal performance
This is correspondent to each player's abilities. Todd Helton might be unhappy if he was hitting .280, but Adam Dunn wouldn't.

2. Team perfomance

3. Roster status / Playing time
If the player doesn't think he's getting enough PT, or he thinks he should be promoted (or demoted), this can make him unhappy.

4. Contract status

How is the player scaling this year? Last year it seemed like there were only 3 different player models (skinny, medium, and buff).

In a word, how did you guys feel about the game after your time was up? Thanks.

How well does the team chemistry work? Anything you notice anything about it that was really good or anything that was bad?

All i want to know is, since you all help with many games and don't seem biased. Does MVP2004 look like the front runner this year as the best of the rest?
Also i would like to know about High Definition support for the Xbox. Thank you guys!

---

I honestly think MVP will be the best of the bunch this year. I might just add another game for online play on the Xbox.

720p on the Xbox.

1. User Profile- Does your User Profile save your personal stats like wins and losses. Like Madden and NCAA?

In the last IGN video, it correctly listed Guardado as a LHP, but it showed him warming up in the bullpen righthanded, I was wondering if the version you played, showed the pitchers warming up correctly?

---

I didn't notice any errors when I played. In fact, the pitchers will warm up in the 'pen with their signature styles, too.
