MVP Baseball is back?!?! Well, not really. It seems EA Sports MVP Baseball Online will be an online game in Korea. Looks like it has nice graphics, 5,000 dynamic motions and a few other things.

The game is developed by EA Korea Seoul Studio. If anything else comes up about it, we'll let you know.

UPDATE: Kotaku's Owen Good has chimed in on the subject with a reminder not to get too worked up about it.

But don't get your hopes up. When pressed about the potential return of MVP, EA Sports has waved off the possibility in ways stronger than the usual "no plans at this time," you hear from video game publishers. Andrew Wilson, the label's boss, told Kotaku that EA Sports' new-game focus is on its upcoming UFC game. To ESPN, he flatly said EA Sports was not working on MVP. Scuttlebutt has it that EA Sports will wait until the next console generation if it's going to get back into baseball in North America.

I think this is a dry run for EA to bring back the series.

Looks damn good

MLB The Show is, I feel, a better game now then MVP was, however it would be nice to have a better baseball game on the Xbox 360.

I was thinking the same thing. Why else would they make just a game for korea...? It looks real good...

FIFA online is huge here, so it could be a test run or a Korea only thing.

I will import this day one

It's a sad day when Korea gets a baseball game and we here in the states sit on the sidelines and watch. And I agree with some of the posts here, it looks great. I'd probalby rather have that next year than The Show, I'm growing tired of that game.

Not a sad day when exclusive rights is the norm in this country. Blame the politicians or whoever allows those type of things on the books to prevent competition.......

Would people in the states be able to play this game online? I would love a game like this.

The show has great player models for the most part but they are really lacking in how the fields and stadiums look... That shot for the video just goes to show you how real things are going to get...The grass, dirt and stadiums look like the real thing...

I think the politicians have better things to worry about, like wars, jobs etc....but that's just me

Updated OP w/ a Kotaku article.

whuuuuuuuuuuuutttt?


Anywho..... it looks basically like the same game with 2K-ish player models, but the animations look identical to 2005. Online is great, when you can find sim-minded opponents/leagues.

I feel the same about football. Thank EA and the NFL.
