  • The Baseball video game scene has been largely dominated by Sony with their 'MLB The Show' franchise, but it wasn't always that way. In this video, we explore the origins of EA's Baseball series, its rise to fame, and why it disappeared. This... is The Legend of MVP Baseball.

    My old original XBox just went bottoms up, I took it in to be repaired and they said they couldn't fix it. So I went on eBay and bought another one...for the sole purpose of playing MVP Baseball '05. 17 years after it's release it's still the best video baseball game ever, bar none.

    MVP Baseball 05 is the greatest baseball game I've ever played. Ever. The depth of that game's Dynasty mode is and was to this day RIDICULOUS. I truly think this is what MLB The Show tried to model its Franchise mode after.

      And it suck imo. Look at madden owner mode are overrated, when it lost it novelty, people will realize that it is not important cause it was not that deep. What game like the show should have focus in are league historical record, player progression & ai management which make franchise mode not fun to play. Setting ticket price should be at the bottom list due to how minimal those things affect player experience because if owner had been that important then madden would be crowned as the best AAA sport franchise mode.

    I still own and play this game on my Nintendo GameCube. I am an old fart and am not wanting or needing the latest or greatest thing every 15 seconds. I still derive a great deal of enjoyment from this game. This video was very well done, thank you Lex Marston.

    😔This actually makes me kinda sad.... The early 2000s had such great sports games and EA was on top. Now EA has 3 sports titles and they are all trash. The exclusive licensing killed sports games.

    Well done sir! This documents my baseball game journey very closely( I was born in 71). I played a lot of the games you highlighted going back to the Intellivision baseball(loved Utopia too by the way). I factored my gaming systems by which one had the better baseball game catalog. My stat nerd friend got me mad hooked on Stratomatic. We would also spend many hours recreating classic MLB rosters to play on Microleague baseball for the C-64. I did buy a ps2 just for the baseball lol I did typically buy 2+ MLB games per year lol We still miss hitting targets in the triple play home run derbies. I love today's games I just wish they add more old game dynamic events like bean ball confrontations and ejections and rain outs that reschedule games into double headers. Take advantage of the rivalry factors, have more interviews in game, do highlights of the days action, execute a more MLB tonight level feel to the presentation. It would be cool to hear Dan Plesac or Sean Casey do a breakdown of a hot player. Sorry for ranting a bit, I'm just a fan that loves the level of immersion MLB games can provide. Maddon struggles with this too so I'm not very optimistic things could get better as I age out, but there's always hope. Great job again

    I love how this whole situation is a reversal of the NFL games. EA made the better game, and 2K killed off the better game by buying the exclusive rights. I get why they did it, but it's a shame they did, as 2K's own games suffered because of it. Who knows what would've came of MVP Baseball when the 7th generation of consoles arrived, although knowing how bad EA is now, it's best that this series is left in the past.

    Thank goodness for emulators. I have this on my steam deck which i use as an emulator and this is the only baseball game I only play and it's still way better than any current MLB The Show game. The owners mode and Franchise mode still kick ass. My favorite part is you can also buy stadiums with points you get for playing the game and also older baseball legends.

    EA can shove it. I am NOT a fan of EA. Last year they bought my favorite mobile baseball game, Tap Sports Baseball, changed the name to EA Tap Baseball for one season, and then buried it. They removed it from the ap store and then announced in game on both versions that were still being played (Tap Sports Baseball 22 and EA Tap Baseball 23) that the servers were ending at the end of March 2024. What the h*ck is wrong with them?!
