Sega's always been very secretive about their sports games. And I'm still puzzled as to why.
They were the last to release any information about ESPN Hockey. Then I realized why. The game sucked and added nothing spectacular like EA's Dynasty Mode.
Same with their football title. While EA is busy holding an EA 'Boot Camp' revealing an amazing Owners Mode and other great features, Sega hides in a hole and then jumps out with it's lame 1st person mode.

This is something that's always bothered me about Sega. They usually produce better products and simulations regarding their sports titles, yet they promote and hype so little, very few 'fence riders' know they exist.
I know they have less marketing dollars than EA, but you can't fell this Goliath with a slingshot. You've got to come at them with both barrels.
But it doesn't even take that much money to help promote your games. Look at this board and several other sites dedicated to sports games. All you have to do is continue to leak out info, release some vids once in a while or do that 'Boot Camp' thing like EA does. All of these things cost so little but do so much.

Sorry, I kind of rambled on their, but this is a sore point for me.

Re: ESPN VS MVP

I can't say I have played MLB the last couple of years, but over the last few my primary games have been

2000: MLB 2001 (ps)
2001: ASB/Triple Play (ps2)
2002: High Heat (ps2)
2003: WSB (ps2)

I have played MLB, but it was back in the day. That was when you had to first guess the pitch, then guess the location, LONG before the pitch was even thrown. I kind of liked it, but seeing the screens and vid's for this year, NO THANKS! In fact, anyone who thinks this 2004 version of the game can compete says so simply for the thrill of being different.

Re: ESPN VS MVP

After buying ESPN Hockey this year, which I played about 5 times before I got sick of not being able to score, and NCAA Football, Madden, and NBA Live, I'm going to put my trust in MVP Baseball this year (I had High Heat last year). At least EA's games are playable (this year, at least).

Considering it was the number TWO selling baseball game last year (on PS2).... I'll go with everyone else and will think otherwise.

Ya know.. just like you said... simply for the thrill of being different.

Being a gamer who loves baseball and looks for the combination of best playing, best looking, and most fun and deep game has NOTHING to do with it.

No offense ps2baseball, but this may be the most ignorant post I've read this year. You really should venture outside the EA forum every once in awhile. Might do ya a little bit of good.

Actually, on second thought, why don't ya stay here all season.

MLB is running at 60 fps, making it look the smoothest of any video coverage we've seen. You laugh all you want, but the rest of us will just

at the stupidity of blanket statements.
