Re: Three Things MVP 05 Still Does Better
Its based off an article that involves possible improvements that could be made to the Show. Give it a rest its a discussion forum. You sound like a married man threatened by the appearance of a good looking, single bachelor. Just remember, she chose you...haha.Comment

Re: Three Things MVP 05 Still Does Better
I think what he's saying is, if the title of the thread was "3 things MLB2k does better than The Show", or "3 Things The Show does better than MLB2k" was posted in the 2k forums it wouldn't be allowed. This might have been better posted in the MVP forums, but, just a thought.
Many people will read only the first post, miss what the dev said correcting an error in the original posters post, and then this thread will have a life longer than the Patch Thread, lol.
But..............post away, lol.Comment

The base running in the Show, primarily the inability to have an in between level where the cpu makes basic decisions but I can still control the base runners is still missing. I loved that aspect of MVP.Comment

Re: Three Things MVP 05 Still Does Better
I'm new here and I just assumed since this thread is posted on the main OS page as a full blown article, that OS placed the thread in the SCEA form. If that's that case I didn't understand why anyone would be so worked up about it being open. I still don't but I guess you have a point.Comment

MVP Had the best franchise mode out of any sports game to date.
Thats the main reason I can't get into the show, their franchise mode is boring.
MVP, had mini games abust to improve your pitching and batting prospect.
And my favorite part was owner mode, where you actually used the money you earned from tickets to add accessories and improvements to your stadium. ANd you would actually see them in the stadium, it greatly affected how your stadium looked.
Unlike in Madden, when you bought a 40 inch scoreboard, and can't seee it on gameday. You would see everything on gameday in MVP. You could even build restaurants in the upper deck. It was beautiful.
I'm upset no other sports franchise has copied this idea yet.
But the bad side of MVP, it was too easy to hit........... Once you learned the trick of where to wait for a pitch and hold diagonal up-left or diagonal up-right.... it was over. You would jack a HR every at bat, no matter what difficulty.Comment

Re: Three Things MVP 05 Still Does Better
Sorry, I disagree. The show needs work on the fielding. The meter is useless and everything is animation based so the user has less control over a situations. In the show they still delay throws that should be fast. Collision detection, Broken double plays, fielding errors are almost non-existant, Etc. MVP has better fielding, Franchise mode, hitting and more hit variations. The show has great presentation, graphics, pitching, and smooth gameplay. I feel that fielding is one of the shows weakest points.NBA2K is the standard of sports games period.Comment

I don't even try to play my RTTS players that are position players because the hitting is so frustrating. I want my RTTS player to be able to hit for average and power but that never happens when I strike out on breaking balls down and away because they look like fastballs down the pipe.Comment

Re: Three Things MVP 05 Still Does Better
Oh is this because you don't have the hitter's eye gimmick to make hitting a cakewalk for you? Learn to read the pitch and how to work counts then complain about hitting in The Show.
It seems to me the people who complain about MVP being better than The Show are people who only played little league and want to hit a home run every at-bat.Comment

Wow lots of pent up anger to actually go on a forum and insult someone? I was seconding the statement in the article about the lack of perception not that i wanted to hit a homerun every at bat...Comment

MVP 05 Is still the standard and I doubt if the changes. It's sometimes harder to do more with more, as opposed to more with less. The New Console have hardly used their capabilities in most aspects, but it will admit MLB 09 The Show has arguably the best graphics ever in a sports game.
Im not one that was ever big on the hitters eye and all that. I played in High School myself and my thing was always staying patient and not over-striding. So, Im more of a guy that sees the ball, waits and tries to put a late charge in it. Not big on trying to dictate where it ends up. Good article.Comment

Actually, for me, baseball in a videogame ended with the height of the High Heat Baseball series, 2002. I still play that on my PC. I have tried MVP 05 on my Xbox, MLB 2k8 on my 360 and MLB 09 on my PSP, but I always find myself going back to HH2k2 on my PC.Comment

Re: Three Things MVP 05 Still Does Better
I loved High Heat on the PC as well. But I really can't see myself still playing it. It's really outdated. I think if you'd give The Show a shot on the PS3, you would be pleasantly surprised. It's the first game that I can honestly say is better than High Heat.
And as far as MVP goes, MEH! I was never a fan. I thought it played a horrible game of baseball, and they always neglected us Manage Only folks. For everything that it supposedly had, I still can't believe there was no way to manage a game. To each his own, but it's ridiculous that people are still talking about that game four years later. It's dead. Let...it...go.....It's only a video game.Comment

The fact that many are debating the pros and cons of each and that these arguments are very close truly speaks to how great MVP 05 was and still is. I have the Show and love it but I don't understand why the hatin' on this thread being here?
A better baseball game is what we are all after. I don't think the writer dissed the Show that badly at all.Comment
