I have all 3 games, and I gotta say I like them all. I have a few quick comparisons. This is nowhere near complete because I have only played MLB2006 for a couple of hours.
Best Commentary-- Hands down 2K5. It has the best commentary I have heard in any sports game. Next is MLB, then MVP.
Best Stadiums-- 2K5 has crisper, more vibrant stadiums than MLB, but MLB did a better job of getting the details right. MLB is the only game to have the bell in Ameriquest Field in Arlington. MVP's stadiums are a not very detailed, and clearly are the worst of the 3.
Best Animation-- MVP, MLB, 2K5. This is an area in which MVP excels.
Best Gameplay-- Hard to say this early in, but MVP is smooth. Fielding is a bit of a problem in 2K5, and MLB has a stutter after the ball is hit.
Most Authentic Gameplay-- From what I've seen, MLB. It feels the most like baseball.
Best Atmosphere-- I like 2k5's atmosphere the most, but MLB may overtake it after I have put more time in. MVP is lacking in atmosphere.
Best Fielding Cam-- MLB and MVP both have excellent high fielding cams. 2K5 has, I think, a very poor fielding cam. You can't see the ball fly out of the park when you hit homeruns.
I hope this thread helps those of you trying to decide. There are others here who I'm sure can add much more to help you with your decision on which game to purchase.
