    Re: Which Game do you think you guys are going with?

    I will be buying MLB 2K5 on release day as I really like the changes that Kush made on the game from last year. It might have some glaring flaws but I can handle that cuz it seems there's a lot of promise for the franchise.

    I will also get MLB 2006 but not until July as i'm saving to go to NY then.

        MLB 2006 all the way in MVP from last year there were alot of things i didnt like:
        1.Way too easy to steal a base online.
        2.How slow the players were.
        3.How hard it was to pull of a double pay because of the way the palyers move.
        4.Lefty glitch really didnt hurt me that badly but ill add that on.
        5.Whats the point of putting dives in a game when there is no awy an outfielder can make a diving catch?
        6.They use points instead of money although im not sure if MLB 2006 uses real money either.
        7.There was so much lag online last year.
        8.They barely update the rosters and when they do, theyre still unrealistic.

        Thats all i can think of right now and the fact that the game was easy even on mvp.Iknow they fixed alot of those but the fact that MLB 2006 just looks amazing and the franchise mode really looks fun so ill be getting that this year and if that doesnt pan out ill trade it in and get Major League Baseball 2K5.Only because there wont be an MVP next year so might as well try out the 2K game.

                Maybe MLB 2K5. I'm using my FreeFlatscreens offer on the Blockbuster deal so that I can rent all three games and decide for myself.

                    I think we're on the same wavelegth FF. Everything I've seen of MVP has really interested me.

                    As for the other two...I think it's one detail that gonna make me decide, as I'm leaning heavily towards MLB 2006. Whether or not free agents are bid for or are just "bought", which was apparently one of the problems in MLB 2005. If MLB 2006 has free agent bidding, and think that's just gonna be the deciding factor for me.

                        The most important thing to me is that the game look and feel as authentic as possible - as much like a major league baseball game/broadcast, with all of the stadium-specific atmosphere, player-specific animations, and nuances. The multiconsole game that best fit that description until this year was ASB.

                        This year, the obvious choice for my tastes is MLB. It has by FAR the most authentic animations and look. But I don't own a PS2. I'll definitely pick up for PSP at some point, but that could be way down the road.

                        2K5 is apparently going to be $50, and even at $20 I don't think I would have bought it. The series still has a lot of the same problems it had on Dreamcast - awkwardly robotic stances, poor swing animations, players that "snap" into their personal batting stance, and just an overall impression that it doesn't look much like a real major league game. That said, the series has made some strides in other areas so I'm desperately hoping that next year's product will be worth a purchase.

                        That leaves MVP as the only choice, and it looks to be a pretty solid title overall. It has its problems, particularly in terms of presentation (graphical authenticity, music/announcing, and player/stadium-specific details), which just happens to be the most important area to me personally. But the gameplay looks pretty good.

                        I guess what I'm saying is that I don't really feel like I have a choice. At least my only choice looks to be a pretty solid game and is being sold for $30.

                                MLB 2006...there is nothing useful either MVP or 2K5 have that MLB won't have this year. I don't want a first person shooter, and I don't want a dressed-up Crippled Play. I want baseball, and MLB gives me baseball.
