EA Sports MVP Baseball Series to Make a Return?

[illmatic04]

can't wait .. i hope this happens soon ..

[gigadkc]

that would be great news. Seems like Konami has no interest to make an MLB game (what a shame) and The Show is pretty much the same game for years now.

This needs to happen. I've been playing MVP 2005 for too long.

EA needs to get out of the game... 2K should have Football,Basketball
Sony Baseball. EA is just bad at making games, they just don't care about the consumer.
Also why would EA pass up on making a baseball game over collage basketball, when baseball is the 2nd most popular sport in america and there basketball games stink.

While I like baseball I am a huge fan of college basketball and this makes the second year that we have not had a college basketball title. I do agree that 2K's basketball games are better but EA's last attempt NCAA basketball 10 showed some real potential. My point is we already have MLB games in the market and I totally get it competition is good but I just really would like my NCAA Basketball games back

Baseball video games have dropped dramatically the last two years on the 360 and PS3. Are people losing interest in baseball? Are people tired of the current products out there. EA's MVP series was #1 when it left and I'm sure people would give a fresh title a try but the game sales for baseball have been bad the last couple of years. NHL 11 sold over 1 million copies between the 360 and PS3. I'm not sure the Show and MLB 2K will be able to say that this year.

Just looking at 10 week sales figures from VG Chartz, MLB 2K9 sold 335,000 on the 360 and 2K11 did only 155,000. Show 09 on PS3 did 378,000 in its first 10 weeks while Show 11 only did 260,000 (note MLB 2K11 on PS3 has only done 90,000 to date!) And this is despite more hardware being out on the market. Not a good trend.

i think 2k is to blame for this. 360 owners get a crapy title from 2k every year that has no effort what so ever. hopefully ea can turn this thing around

People can argue the merits of the realism of various video games but no game ever has even come close to MVP in terms of fun factor and addictiveness. To me, The Show has always been a snoozefest by comparison.

Hopefully this series returns.

This is how I feel a bit as well. MVP was my favorite baseball game period..

Lets hope so.. MVP was my favorite baseball game.

Definitely hope MVP comes back! It's time for a 3rd baseball game in the market again.

The ball-off-the-bat physics in MVP was THE BEST every of any baseball game to date. Their hitting mechanic was also the best. You were able to go to all fields with the appropriate pitch.

Even though I didn't play MVP when it was out (or any sports game besides Madden), I've heard good things about it, and I'd rather have anything over 2K.

I would definitely love to see MVP back but they have to bring back owner mode. If they bring owner mode with the ability to control all teams and incorporate an expansion, it would be golden.

I also agree with the poster who said that MVP is still the best of all time.

if this is a dream dont allow me to wake up

[Carrington618]

mvp 2005 was the best. the show is good but it is too real (sony forgot that is is a game)

Re: EA Sports MVP Baseball Series to Make a Return?

Last baseball game I played regularly was MVP Baseball 2005. Sure, I'd like to see it come back.
