I havent touched this game with 10 foot pole since last Saturday when I saw AL Pitchers were batting in AL games and CPU wouldnt pinch hit for them.

I'd keep it also, it's a great game, more good than bad, way better than MVP..MVP 2005 is just MVP 2004 Version 2. Passed ball glitch can easily be taken care of if you don't advance the runner. MLB 2k5 beats the bad 100 to 1.

If your budget is tight, and it sounds like it is, then I'd recommend not getting it.
I like it, despite its flaws, better than MVP, which I traded in. But it's a personal choice, and I wouldn't argue with anyone who says MVP is better.
2k5 just feels good to me. Can't explain why. Maybe it's the atmosphere (clearly better than MVP), brighter graphics and seemingly quicker pace than MVP. I also like full control over every team's rosters and the ability to play multiple teams and any games in franchise, which you can't do in MVP.

Hustler, I understand it's your opinion...This coming from a vc fanboy for the most part.wsb2k5 just plain stinks...That answered my thread...I opened it.. This game is terrible and I don't think anyone should say this game is better then mvp....I hope i like mlb 2006 cause next year We won't have mvp baseball...No I don't blame take 2 I blame Ea for starting this whole mess...I wish we could put field/stadium graphics and announcing from 2k5 to Ea's mvp player models, franchise/owner mode, most of all CAMERA ANGLES AND GAMEPLAY....

Two days ago I would have said don't play it, because the WP / Passed Ball thing was driving me crazy. Now that a fix seems to have been found (a simple slider adjustment - check first sticky at the top of the page) I have a bit of a dillema. I do think I prefer the gameplay of MVP, but the presentation, commentary, stadiums are so good in MLB it is going to be a tough call. I'm going to have to make a decision soon, because there is no way I am going to have enough time to play both.

Honestly, if money is an issue, don't. I am a devoted VC fan, a fanboy if you will. I hate EA, how they've done business lately, but MVP is just an awesome game, hands down. There's nothing it does wrong at all. Superb animations, great graphics, a very in depth franchise/owner mode, stunning graphics on a bigscreen with 720p. The AI is smart, the sliders are abundant, and the overall feel is very good. It lacks one thing, presentation. MLB2k5s presentation is awesome, but the game itself is not as good as MVP, period. It pains me to say it, but it's just true. You can look at all the opinions you want around, there's lots of people, but at the end of the day, the more and more you look, most will say the MVP just gets it right.

I bought both games and MLB2k5 hasn't seen much playing time. Part of that is that it doesn't have 720p and looks horrible on a big screen, part of it is that MVP is just a truly great baseball game.

Remember, you're on the 2k5 forums, so you're gonna get some biased opinions. This is where fans of that game go, so you'll hear it's a great game. Regardless, do what you want and need to do. Best of luck!
