The greatest part about mario sluggers was that you can literally make a team out of any mario character ever, you can play as a goomba or a squid if you really wanted to, you can even put your miis in there. That’s all I really needed as a kid
MLB Power Pros Wii probably has the best Season Mode of any game I've played. You can control EVERYTHING, there are so many statistics, and it just never gets old. I still play it sometimes. Success Mode has great replayability as well.
People play MVP Baseball 2005 to this day, it’s the NFL 2K5 of baseball games. The second greatest baseball game of all time to me is Baseball Advance (2002) for the GBA, I played that game religiously via emulator on PC. It probably also had the forefather of The Show’s PCI, differing in size for each player.
Dude you’re tripping out if you think that the current MLB The Show games are better than the old ones. MLB 10-13 are not only the best baseball games ever, they’re probably the best sports games ever created period. The pitch speed has been gradually nerfed so bad since 13 that it’s unplayable. Hitting is stupidly easy on the newer games and they’ve taken so much of the cool presentation stuff out as well.
The Ken Griffy Game on N64, back then I had a notebook where I could keep track of all the homeruns from each player. And before the days of systems keeping track of how many hours you played, I kept track of that too... and no joke.... I spent 3211 hours playing that game......played it for years
We never got that Mario Super Sluggers video Marc. I know u dont do gaming anymore but I want that Mario baseball. That Mario Superstar Baseball vids was one of my favs on the channel I want the sequel. Great vid btw Marc.
i laughed so hard at the RBI part that was hilarious. i was literally thinking like 3 mins before that part “it’d be funny if he just put all the rbi games in f tier right away”. well done😂
Haha same. 17 and 18 and earlier were horrible. At least for 19 and 20 they're starting to add pitching and batting systems which is respectable, but MLB the Show will always be the best once it comes to Xbox. I only really do franchise on RBI baseball, but even that sucks because free agents never change and there's no draft.
Man, MLB 2K9 is the first baseball video game I played as a kid. I made COUNTLESS franchises on them! Such a fun game. I remember I made a franchise where i traded for all the great 1B men in the same season. Mark Teixeira, Prince Fielder, Paul Konerko, Miguel Cabrera, Justin Morneau, Joey Votto, Adrian Gonzalez, Ryan Howard, Albert Pujols, etc. Adam Dunn and Manny Ramirez were always free agents. Clayton Kershaw was SOOO easy to trade for. They wouldnt give you the prospects real names. So Madison Bumgarner was Matt Baker, and Jason Heyward was James Hunter, and David Freese waa Doug Flukin, and Buster Posey was Ben Peck, and Matt Weiters was Mark Weathers, etc. Plus the soundtrack was AMAZING! 2K9 will always have a place in my heart for intrducing me to baseball.
The Bigs 2 for me for sure is S tier the game is still amazing to this day & it has one of my favorite baseball players of all time also y does this tier list not have Super Mega Baseball 1 & 2 at least the 2nd one was amazing I give the 1st a C but the 2nd defiantly an A
My personal favorite baseball game(s) was MLB Power Pros. The game is extremely unknown for the most part which is sad because it is easily one of the best sports games ever made in my opinion. I still will play it every now and then even though it is 12 years old
Dude I have so much nostalgia for 2k13. From 2017 through the end of 2019, I played that game pretty much endlessly, because I was broke and couldn't afford a ps4. I will admit, it's glitchy as hell and feels unfinished, but for me, the nostalgia is real.
MetalCrow448 there is many fantastic games on the wii. Debatably the best 3-d Mario. One of the most played mariokarts that’s still played to this day. Wii Sports Resort really used the motion control well. Many games like pikmin worked better on the wii, and the wii could play GameCube games so it was basically a much better GameCube
I remember playing slugfest at one of my friend's house when I was little and we would just go around punching everyone the whole time. Easily at the top of my baseball videogames list just cuz of those memories
This guy knows what he is taking about. Backyard Baseball 01 and Mario Superstar Baseball were a big part of my childhood. They deserve to be on S tier. Great video.
Ok. Let’s get this straight. I know most of yous don’t consider mobile games as video games, but where is MLB Tap Sports and MLB Perfect Inning. I would put tap sports in A tier and perfect inning in C. Come on
If only they released an English version of Pro Yakyuu Spirits (Think of it as a Japanese Baseball version of The Show) Played some of it, and the hitting and animations IMO is better there than in The Show. That being said, MVP Baseball 2005 is the greatest.
You forgot MLB Powerpros. That game was soooo good I loved the announcer he was cracked out lmao. Also Xbox one has a game called Super Mega Baseball 1 and 2. They’re actually half decent.
Got to give some love to NCAA baseball O6 though! Could be awesome if they revisit that idea and created a way to build your player in college and then move him to the draft in another game
My favorite part of MVP Baseball is how you control how angry your manager can get with calls. You have the power to get your manager thrown out of the game.
After 2007 if you were a real baseball fan you were ponying up the money for PlayStation 3 to get the best baseball game on the market which is what me and my cousin did. The show at that point had already flown past anything else that 2K made in my opinion
When you were dragging OOTP to C I was dropping my jaw. I actually think it deserves an S tier because nothing comes close to it in terms of competition and the developers actually listen to those who play the game. The forum is nothing but back and forth between players, testers and the developers. Sure not actually playing sucks but it does have an in game mode which you can control very much of it. You are right that it's not for everyone but those games save me when I'm at the airport/on flights, can play a great game without looking like you are.
MVP Baseball 2005 is my all time favorite!! I loved playing with the minor league teams!! If you really want to go back Intellivision II Baseball, and the original Nintendo R.B.I were great!! I also enjoyed MLB 2K06!!
Mlb power pros 2007/2008 is a really good obscure baseball franchise that I'm sad never caught on in the states. They have a cute chibi anime caricatures, tons of modes like home run derby, franchise, and create a player. Also, the create a player had an actual storyline other than making it to the bigs. You had to balance school, work, and baseball and maintain relationships eith friends and family, and there are multiple endings too. I think it was ahead of its time and it's still an ongoing seeies in japan.
I haven't played many of these, but here's a tier list for the ones I've played: MLB Power Pros: A Tier. Great season mode, success mode is also pretty good. The commentary is poorly developed, though. Backyard Baseball 2005: SS Tier. SO MUCH NOSTALGIA. Easily my favorite childhood computer game. If I could play one game that I've lost access to, it'd be this. Mario Super Sluggers: S Tier. Mario + baseball. Need I say more? MLB 2K10: B Tier. Not a very memorable game for me, and the graphics are meh, but I do have some enjoyable memories from it. Nicktoons MLB: C Tier. I don't have much to say. It's a great crossover, but that, the commentary, and the turbo pitches and hits are the only things that really stand out to me. Backyard Baseball 2009: F Tier. I played it for 5 minutes and got bored. RBI Baseball 2018: D Tier. The pitches come in too fast and making good contact seems random, but I can still enjoy playing it. Wii Sports: B Tier. A lot of nostalgia, but like Marc said, it's not that great.
I missed most of those 2K baseball games once the show came out in 2006 I basically stuck with that from then on out, and before that it was MVP baseball and then before that it was MLB 99 and MLB 2000, I knew that high heat existed and the 2K existed in that these games were around but the only time I would play those sort of games was on my Dreamcast or Playstation 1 if I would rent one from Blockbuster I still put MVP 04 and MVP 05 along with the show 06 as three of my favorite baseball games today they still have fun franchise modes and it's cool doing it with the older players but the controls are great and graphics look good
I had 2k 11 on my Nintendo and during our block party I lost it. I thought a friend took it, but now I just keep looking in the vents where we had it last
A couple things 1. EA used to make bangers!! 2. The BIGS2 was always my favorite. Never too serious, I never felt my self getting upset at the game. 3. Damn you have played a lot of baseball games!!
Best Quote Ever “I texted him where the f**k did you put my game, and i ended up texting that to my mom and she wasn’t happy”
Cody Kiesman That was hilarious and I showed it too my dad
when in the vid was?
@@tezno3863 1:56
Mario Super Sluggers is S tier
Rest doesn’t matter
I’m dying 😂
That’s a true fact though
no higher 😂😤
Yup. The motion controls were actually reasonable for that game.
The gamecube one slaps too
Bro FAX
My favorite baseball game ever is PowerPros 2008. I’ve had it for my DS for probably 10 years. I’ve played it hundreds of hours and it never gets old
I had this game on PS2 and it's easily S tier
Rxmstrk for sure
power pros is solid, but the game it copied, rbi baseball, is the best. or baseball simulator 1.000
Most underrated slept on video game ever
I still play power pros on my Wii. Why is it not on this list?! Best baseball game ever.
The greatest part about mario sluggers was that you can literally make a team out of any mario character ever, you can play as a goomba or a squid if you really wanted to, you can even put your miis in there. That’s all I really needed as a kid
ErR0r 4554 and power ups . and the story mode was fie
I better see Mario Super Sluggers on the S tier
Edit: A tier's ok i guess
Anyone remember playing MLB Power Pros? I loved playing those games when I was a kid.
S tier 100%
S tier. Best baseball video game ever.
MLB Power Pros Wii probably has the best Season Mode of any game I've played. You can control EVERYTHING, there are so many statistics, and it just never gets old. I still play it sometimes. Success Mode has great replayability as well.
Anyone who's played it knows it's one of the best games of all time
That is the best game of all time! This list disrespected it
Girrafeneckmarc you and Fuzzy are the reasons why I have learned more baseball over the past year!!!
soccer rules Forever love that!
soccer rules Forever, SAME!!!
2K 13 into K10 are the only MLB games I've ever played and to this day I still play 2K 13 it's such a good game in my opinion
As a Xbox player I always hoped that 2k would comeback
Fair go I would have to agree I was sad when I heard a 2K stop making MLB games
Let’s be happy that MLB the Show is coming to Xbox next year
2k13 got me into mlb games and I played that game for three years until I got a ps4 and got mlb 16 in 2016
@TheTyler Bros. Mlb 2k13 was the loml
Where is nicktoons mlb? That game was goated.
VeryOaty 89 oh yeah I remember that game
Am I the only one that played Little League World Series in 2010
NICK_plays super underrated series
NICK_plays that game was the shit
I memorized what the aunouncer said
NICK_plays I played Little League World Series Baseball 2009
NICK_plays goat game
MVP Baseball’s mechanics were so smooth. 2005 still holds up today in everything but graphics.
And features. Waaay more classic stadiums than Show not to mention create a ballpark.
Amazing game!
They should make a new Mario Baseball ⚾️ game for the Switch.
"...Born in 96". Damn you are younger than possibly my favorite baseball game, World Series Baseball - I think it was the first with 6 divisions.
Yea, author missed out on a lot of great baseball games, I love late 80s to early-mid 90s games.
People play MVP Baseball 2005 to this day, it’s the NFL 2K5 of baseball games.
The second greatest baseball game of all time to me is Baseball Advance (2002) for the GBA, I played that game religiously via emulator on PC. It probably also had the forefather of The Show’s PCI, differing in size for each player.
This is so accurate good job Marc
Where's MLB Power Pros?:(
Those games were so fun I wish they continued! :(
MLB Power Pros should have been on here!
All the 90s baseball games were part of my childhood. The Ken Griffrey Jr N64 game will always have a special place in my heart.
Best baseball game ever
Haven't watched the video yet, but as a huge MLB fan and huge Nintendo fan, my heart is so happy Mario Baseball made the thumbnail :)
Dude you’re tripping out if you think that the current MLB The Show games are better than the old ones. MLB 10-13 are not only the best baseball games ever, they’re probably the best sports games ever created period. The pitch speed has been gradually nerfed so bad since 13 that it’s unplayable.

the fact that powerpros isn’t on here is disgraceful best baseball video game of all time can’t even debate it
Who remembers MLB Power pros... sheesh banger
We never got that Mario Super Sluggers video Marc. I know u dont do gaming anymore but I want that Mario baseball. That Mario Superstar Baseball vids was one of my favs on the channel I want the sequel. Great vid btw Marc.
Marc: Puts WII SPORTS in C tier
Me being in wii sports gang: Why?
i laughed so hard at the RBI part that was hilarious. i was literally thinking like 3 mins before that part “it’d be funny if he just put all the rbi games in f tier right away”. well done😂
Haha same. 17 and 18 and earlier were horrible.

I only really do franchise on RBI baseball, but even that sucks because free agents never change and there's no draft.
fuck that. the first one is the best baseball game of all time. the new ones are ass
MVP Baseball 2005 PC and MLB 2K12 PC with mods on MVP Mods website. Where does The Show 19 go?
Slugfest loaded is the best one for sure. First baseball game I played as a kid and it’s my favorite to this day.
Man, MLB 2K9 is the first baseball video game I played as a kid. I made COUNTLESS franchises on them! Such a fun game. I remember I made a franchise where i traded for all the great 1B men in the same season.

Wii sports is S tier for me. So many memories...
Did you ever play the Super Mega Baseball Series? The best experience with a baseball game i ever had. You can even install full MLB Rosters (on PC).
Wii Sports deserves S imo, I’ve played it for 8 years and it’s never gotten old.
WHERE IS JALECO!? FROM THE ORIGINAL NES
And RBI Baseball 1-3 on the NES
LOVE the Bases Loaded Series
An MVP Baseball 2005 remaster would be legendary. Why did they stop making this game????
Contract I believe
Love your vids. Keep it up!
The Bigs 2 for me for sure is S tier the game is still amazing to this day & it has one of my favorite baseball players of all time also y does this tier list not have Super Mega Baseball 1 & 2 at least the 2nd one was amazing I give the 1st a C but the 2nd defiantly an A
Exactly! where was Super mega baseball on this list, at least an B tier game. And an A tier IMO
I love the bigs 2
super mega baseball 3 is S, 2 is A, 1 is C at best
Therealking69 sounds like I need 2 get SMB3 then lol
My personal favorite baseball game(s) was MLB Power Pros. The game is extremely unknown for the most part which is sad because it is easily one of the best sports games ever made in my opinion. I still will play it every now and then even though it is 12 years old
I'm so glad that you put mvp baseball in S tier🙌. The game was literally my childhoods
Bruh, in defense of Ken Griffey on the SNES, i beat the entire 162 game campaign and in my humble opinion, it does still hold up
Dude I have so much nostalgia for 2k13. From 2017 through the end of 2019, I played that game pretty much endlessly, because I was broke and couldn't afford a ps4. I will admit, it's glitchy as hell and feels unfinished, but for me, the nostalgia is real.
Where’s mlb power pros?
Sluggers is underrated and Superstar is amazing. I also am really surprised you just said the Wii is a bad console.
MetalCrow448 there is many fantastic games on the wii. Debatably the best 3-d Mario. One of the most played mariokarts that’s still played to this day. Wii Sports Resort really used the motion control well. Many games like pikmin worked better on the wii, and the wii could play GameCube games so it was basically a much better GameCube
MetalCrow448 you’re actually dumb.
MetalCrow448 I don’t know it was the most sold console ever something had to be good about it
MetalCrow448 you realize every console in that generation had motion controls right?
I remember playing slugfest at one of my friend's house when I was little and we would just go around punching everyone the whole time. Easily at the top of my baseball videogames list just cuz of those memories
Great video Marc! Props to you for cranking out awesome content during the MLB hiatus!
Bro one of my favorite baseball games still to this day is Little League World Series 2009 and it's wasn't even on the list
Mikey Modugno agreed
That game is legendary
Mario Super Sluggers and MLB Power Pros are S tier...nuff said
Surprised the MLB Power Pros games weren't on here. Those games were bangers!
This guy knows what he is taking about. Backyard Baseball 01 and Mario Superstar Baseball were a big part of my childhood. They deserve to be on S tier. Great video.
MLB Power Pros = S Tier
Ok. Let’s get this straight. I know most of yous don’t consider mobile games as video games, but where is MLB Tap Sports and MLB Perfect Inning. I would put tap sports in A tier and perfect inning in C. Come on
I’m on Xbox, so my favorite baseball video game is MLB 9 innings
You should do baseball movies tier list
Put MVP 06 NCAA Baseball in the thumbnail but didnt even mention it?? That game is S tier
Where is mlb power pros???
MLB PowerPros 07 and 08 were the 2 best games hands down
If only they released an English version of Pro Yakyuu Spirits (Think of it as a Japanese Baseball version of The Show)
Played some of it, and the hitting and animations IMO is better there than in The Show.
That being said, MVP Baseball 2005 is the greatest.
Best team announcers tier list
You forgot MLB Powerpros. That game was soooo good I loved the announcer he was cracked out lmao. Also Xbox one has a game called Super Mega Baseball 1 and 2. They’re actually half decent.
Are we gonna talk about how this dude put ken griffey Jr baseball in C
Yeah really! Game is legendary.
Got to give some love to NCAA baseball O6 though! Could be awesome if they revisit that idea and created a way to build your player in college and then move him to the draft in another game
My favorite part of MVP Baseball is how you control how angry your manager can get with calls. You have the power to get your manager thrown out of the game.

I only have The Show19 and 17 and in my opinion they are awesome
Backyard baseball 2001 was dope. I had several 200 plus runs games that took days to finish. Haha
When you were dragging OOTP to C I was dropping my jaw. I actually think it deserves an S tier because nothing comes close to it in terms of competition and the developers actually listen to those who play the game.

You are right that it's not for everyone but those games save me when I'm at the airport/on flights, can play a great game without looking like you are.
MLB power pros 2008 is the best sports game ever made
Also... Ca..Ca... Call me junior !... its showtime !!!!
Saw you on Gallo's stream!
Also do a vid on the best players from different colleges
Literally love MVP baseball 04
Where would you rate mlb 20?
Power Pros people where you at???
my all time favourites are 2k10 and the show 08 with Ryan Howard on the cover
excellent selections. Both of them.
What about MLB Power Pros? I LOVED that game as a kid!!!
Who else wishes they can just charge the mind in the show and argue with umpires
Only clicked to make sure backyard baseball was S tier.
You keep a sub this time sir.
Same
MVP Baseball 2005 is my all time favorite!! I loved playing with the minor league teams!! If you really want to go back Intellivision II Baseball, and the original Nintendo R.B.I were great!! I also enjoyed MLB 2K06!!

Where is MLB power pros

2. The BIGS2 was always my favorite. Never too serious, I never felt my self getting upset at the game.
3. Damn you have played a lot of baseball games!!
MLB Power Pros for sure
Were is steal a show ep 2
I know it’s only a mobile game, but where would you rank Tap Sports at?
You left off MLB Power Pros from 2007
2008 version was better
where would you put the show 20?
Super Mega Baseball 2 > literally anything else
mvp baseball 2004 is my favorite baseball game ever. played that for so many hours as a kid on my gamecube. still play it today over 15 years later.
i really enjoyed 2k 10 well does not have the same place in my heart
MLB power pros was the best in my opinion
Try super mega baseball 2 on the switch. Its anazing
Joe Borchard is the lowest ranked RF in ‘07 the Show on PS2, but the man’s an absolute cheat code.
Tu no has jugado Pro Yakyuu Spirits?
If mario super sluggers isn’t top tier i’m going to be FURIOUS
what is the best baseball game for ps4?
It’s funny, I’m only 17 and I remember playing hours and hours of the original Backyard Baseball as a kid too! Those were the days
I would have put 2k7 in the A column
Griffey 64 trying to hit off Tim Wakefield was a nightmare
This is a solid list 👌
I loved high heat.. horrible graphics but might be the best ever at recreating a realistic game.
