    If you liked MVP you should buy 2005. If you are serious about boycotting EA buy MLB or ESPN. There isn't really enough info to decide which game is better suited for you at this point though.
    EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

        Too bad that for XBox, he will only have MVP or ESPN to choose from...MLB sounds good too, so I wish it was going to be on XBox.

The rset can be a ttoal jmulbe and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

            If your keeping your morals in check and you don't own a ps2, then you only have one choice, ESPN! Isn't that the exact reason why you are upset with EA, no choice? You just did it to yourself, now you only have one choice!

                Here's how I see it: ESPNs 2k5 have been the best games I've ever played for hockey, football, and pro basketball. My guess is their baseball game will be amazing too; if not better than EAs very very close. I would also expect it to be more relisitic as it has been my experiance that ESPNs games are very sim-like whereas EAs are more arcad-ey (is that a word?). I'm big on realism so I love ESPN. My suggestion is to buy ESPN and at least rent MVP. If you decide you just can't live without MVP...well you can always stick it to EA by deciding to boycott Madden ;-)

                    Let me get this straight. The NFL offered it's rights out to the highest bidder. Sega (in the form of Take Two) were among the bidders, but EA won, so you're boycotting EA? Pretty bad logic there. Sounds like who you should be boycotting is the NFL. Turn off the Super Bowl.

                    As far as which baseball game to get, play them both and get the one that you like the best. 2 years ago I thought MVP was the best. Last year I didn't like how any of them played. So this year I'll rent them all again and hopefully will find one worth paying full price for.

                        Both games look to good to me to pass up this year. I got disgusted with 2K3 so didnt get 2K4 last season. I only got MVP and loved it but ESPN made some nice changes and it looks like a must buy this season. NFL2K5 is the greatest football game ever and blew Madden away, but im not going to deprive myself of ESPN baseball this season.
