What Baseball Games Are Legendary?

[Radja]

the top three games i played.
baseball simulator 1.000 snes was awesome. loved that game,.
high heat the series.
world series 2k3.

the two that had flaws, but were incredibly fun for me personally:

mvp ncaa 06. not legendary per se but one i played the most seasons with and still will. you really had to tweak the sliders to make it play right.

mlb the show 2005 played almost every game and won the world series. lots of quirks, like overthrows not advancing the runners, but the core was so good you just wanted to play.

You all hit this nail on the head. Ken Griffey Jr presents MLB is the greatest baseball game of all time. The only reason I still hold on to my SNES.

I have to agree with Griffey that was the first game i bought for my super nes.I even still have the baseball card that came with it.

I'm amazed it's only been mentioned once:

All Star Baseball 2005.

Specifically for the Xbox, this was the first Baseball game to feature customizable soundtracks with music on your hard drive.

It was also the first Baseball game to feature the game from the point of view of the fielder, followed in a way by MLB: The Show with their RTTS feature.

It was also the first baseball game I believe to let people play in retro stadiums that have long since been destroyed, as well as giving people a look at the designs for suggested new ballparks, including the new Yankee Stadium.

Included with that amazing amount of ballpark detail were all the extra parks designed specifically for use in the Expansion mode, a game mode that has yet to be seen in any other baseball game and allows you to create your own expansion team.

All Star Baseball, especially the last iteration, was just always on the ball and always made FOR THE FAN. So yeah, I'd have to say that DEFINITELY belongs on the list.

All Star Baseball 2005.

Good call. Less ball suction (that's what she said) and the ability to edit all of the teams at the same time were it's Achillies heel.

Tecmo Super Baseball.

Just like Tecmo Super Bowl, the baseball one was a classic also.

The Hardball series got me hooked on baseball games so I have to give credit where it all began.

MVP 2005 was out of this world and still holds up.

WSB 98 had the hitters eye before MVP. Players would get injured , hit foul balls off your foot. It was also the first baseball game with celebrations and showboating. Players will show boat after a home run. I sitll have this game for the saturn. I liked MVP but was too easy in my opinion.

I am surprised no one mentioned RBI baseball....

I Remember playing RBI Baseball on NES, it was one of the first games to have the MLBPA license, I remember dominating with Roger Clemens daliy.

The first baseball game i had on SNES was MLBPA Baseball, That game was amazing even though i never became dominate at it.

Hardball 95' was an amazing game.
