EA Sports Jumping Back into Baseball?

[ComfortablyLomb]

I'm all for choice. I adored MVP05 but it hasn't aged well (just IMO, of course). The only thing that I think is still superior to what we see in The Show is the fielding just because it's so much more fluid in responsive. Otherwise it was a game that at the time felt more sim than most baseball games we had seen but compared to what we have now... well not so much.

They have full Single A minors which add even more depth to franchise, plus in owner mode you could create new stadiums. No other SPORTS game does that. Plus they have just as good fielding, batting and pitching mechanics, and MVP NCAA was the first to use Analog controls. If the same dev team was put together to bring back MVP, the show would have to watch out and it would probably bring out the best in SCEA, cause 2k cant

A+ post.

Would read again.

I'm not gonna argue your other stuff because it's games that are now 6 years apart. If you took guitar lessons the last 6 years, you'd probably be punching out some good licks by now.

The batting in MVP is not simply aim up for flyballs and down for groundballs. Plenty of MVP vets will tell you that you can go down after a low pitch and jack it or line it to somewhere in the park and that aiming up will cause you to top a ball into a weak grouder..... sort of like the real thing.

EA was on track to doing baseball right. Yeah, going back to play MVP 05 now, 6 years later, leaves a lot to be desired. At the time, it was nearly perfect for fun and realism.

I love The Show, think it's amazing, I can't even think of a flaw that comes to mind right now. But as with most everything, competition is a good thing! Seeing EA and SCEA face off in which MLB game is better year in and year out... well, just think about it. It would be great! I think EA would instantly jump to #2 behind SCEA and in front of 2K, and then it would be a dogfight. I honestly don't know what I'd do. I'd have to try out the new EA ballgame.

I compare baseball games to MVP 05. I played 4 or 5 seasons on that thing, I loved it. I can see myself doing that with MLB 11, because when I play that game I get the same feeling I had when I plyaed MVP.

Up until this year's The Show, MVP was still my all time favorite, and I never once touched it on a PC.

So no.

i still don't get it. Why in the world would ANYONE not welcome ANY company to produce a baseball game if possible. It's not as if the company has one dev team that works on every game. Heck, i'd be all for 100 different baseball games. Who cares? Choice is always a good thing and at the very least, every company might bring something to the table that another company like SCEA could look at and say "hey, that was a good idea. Lets impliment something along those lines" u know, like how they implimented meter pitching which MVP did years prior?

Same here, man. I didn't play it on PC until 2007 and it was by far my favorite baseball game ever after playing it on PS2 with no mods at all for the two years prior. I love The Show, but I still think that game is half a step behind MVP purely in the gameplay department and that game is six years old now!
