EA Sports MVP Baseball Series to Make a Return?

[jr86]

While of course this is welcome news.
I sure as heck hope they find a way to offer a shorter season mode because their inability to do it in their basketball and hockey titles is a real turn off
I have neither the time nor the inclination to play a 162 game season and simming games just does not cut it.

NHL 11 sold over 1 million copies between the 360 and PS3. I'm not sure the Show and MLB 2K will be able to say that this year. Just looking at 10 week sales figures from VG Chartz, MLB 2K9 sold 335,000 on the 360 and 2K11 did only 155,000. Show 09 on PS3 did 378,000 in its first 10 weeks while Show 11 only did 260,000 (note MLB 2K11 on PS3 has only done 90,000 to date!) And this is despite more hardware being out on the market. Not a good trend.

I believe this is because many people have given up on mlb2k. Too many years of bad 2k baseball. The show selling less maybe because some feel the game has gotten a bit stale. That's my opinion..

I've been waiting for MVP to come back for years. I still keep my original Xbox so I can play MVP '05 and NCAA '06 to get my baseball fix every summer. 2K has been nothing but a disappointment year after year (I gave up on it after 2K8). PLEASE BRING BACK MVP EA!!!!

The Show Is The Best And Finds A Way To Get Better Every Year, But I Did Love MVP, I would love to see a Legends game, that would be the best or some sort of combo little league, high school, college baseball game

Konami's MLB Bobblehead Pros is out now for the Xbox 360.

Very good baseball game.

I prefer it to The Show, actually.

Peter Moore informed us that the "majority" of the team that worked on the MVP Baseball series are still employed at EA Sports.

News to me. Looking over the MVP 04/05/06 credits, I'd say 25-30% of those people are still at EA.

I only want to see it if they bring back the 05 sound track. I rock my Iroc Z, I rock it well.

Please! Xbox owners need an alternative to the terrible 2K series. Shame Microsoft hasn't done anything with the High Heat Baseball license
