Is MVP Baseball 2005 Still GOOD in 2023?

I originally made this video back in 2019, but I thought a remastered version of it needed to belong here on the channel. In my opinion, MVP Baseball 2005 is the pinnacle of the MVP Baseball series. What are some of your memories from MVP '05? Let me know, down in the comments.

The “ramp hitting” and “Tetris pitching “ mini games were so damn addicting man!!

[@bcgaming_]

100%!

[@doughnutsandbagelz]

I used to play this sooo much with my older brother (RIP). He was heavy into baseball, id always go to his games and he would practice his pitching with me. I never was one to play team sports but he got me hooked on baseball. I still got our ps2 copy. I got a son now and I’m gonna have to play this with him and nostalgia trip out with the boy.

[@thetrussell7385]

Still one of the best dynasty modes to play for sports games. You start out with the crappy stadium and have to work your way up. Amazing. I'll subscribe and comment under my channels 😂😂😂

[@thejokertroll]

Yes what an excellent idea

[@2klakertroll]

Yes dynasty mode was amazing.

[@nomansskymasterarchitect]

I too love dynasty mode. Just hate how much space it took on my gamecube

For the record, its tough to search your channel. There's another BC Gaming

[@tvstealer]

The fielding and baserunning in this game is amazing. Better than MLB The Show today.

Bruh the feeling of pulling a double play in this game is …..chefs kiss

[@logangrzesiek8749]

This is objectively very false, lmao. The show has tens of thousands of more fielding animations than MVP, big homie.

Yes it did. Crazy stuff

[@HigherDarkness]

I remember as a kid i would always restart the game to replay the intro lol. It was so satisfying to watch all the plays and still is.

[@mookiestewart3776]

The moving side to side in the box is actually a holdover from baseball games dating back to the NES believe it or not!! And yes it should be a standard feature !! Real hitters adjust their place in the box all the time!!

[@BobQKazoo]

Should've mentioned the secret custom character names that give you a 3 foot tall player and a BEEFY bat lmao

Missed opportunity there! Haha. Thanks for the comment!

This was definitely the best baseball game ever. So disappointing they have up their rights

@@bcgaming_ you can get mods for this game to make things better. Just check out mvpmodes.

[@theerrantwanderer]

If they still had the MLB license, the game's quality would have probably dropped after 2008, just like what happened to Madden. Let's not kid ourselves here.

Where did you hear that? IGN just recently interviewed a guy from EA, and they said that the licensing agreement is now over.

The Astros shade was hilarious!!! Well done!

[@bcgaming_]

Believe it or not, that was completely unintentional. It just worked out perfectly haha. Thanks for the comment!

[@arwenguitarplayer963]

The fact that they NEVER swing at an outside pitch is almost breaks it

[@Jay_Force_One]

MLB The Show 23-24 really messed up not adding Charging the Mound and Manager Arguments. Me and my friend use to play MVP Baseball for like 6-7 hours straight back in the day. We had made players with crazy names and stacked our teams. It was just so fun.

[@MrLawyer711]

Short answer is yes. Sports games nowadays have focused so hard on being realistic they forgot it’s a video game and not just a real life simulation. Same thing with wrestling games, they used to be so much fun with the crazy mechanics and stuff you could do that even if you didn’t like wrestling you could have fun for hours playing those games. But I’ve tried playing the newer ones and they’re just so boring.

[@bcgaming_]

100% true! I totally agree about both things. I was never really a wrestling fan but the games were a blast! Thanks for the comment!

[@maxmeek8923]

Idk what it was about 04-05 sports games but I just got done replaying tiger woods PGA tour 05 and that game is so fun. And ofc this is THE BEST baseball game ever. Also madden 04 went so hard

[@bcgaming_]

It was a great time for sports games! Thanks for the comment.

[@BH02377]

Back when there was competition.

[@mookiestewart3776]

Madden 05 baby!!! The first hit stick and that amazing radio broadcast they added!! So damn good!!

[@TheLocalLt]

1) There was competition in the marketplace 2) The games were being developed to be as realistic and immersive as possible 3) The graphics were much better than they were just a few years prior. It really was a sweet spot for sports simulation games

[@Salsa_Shark]

I loved that I could play this game on auto fielding (but could still pitch) because it added a variable that allowed the computer to be more competitive without making the game impossible for me. I also was way less frustrated by BS fielding errors.

[@Jsneebs42]

You can definitely get them to chase balls out of the zone if you are ahead in the count. 12-6 curve on an 0-2 count is nasty on there. Throw it in the dirt and most will swing

[@cameronchiesa1031]

Great video on my favorite baseball game of all time! Earned my sub, for sure! Hitting mini game is so fun and I'm loving playing the dynasty mode again all these years later.

[@bcgaming_]

I appreciate it! Thanks for kind words. Glad you’re still enjoying the game!

[@fabolousjada5070]

The hitting is very realistic and use the left analog to aim the hits. Also mix that with the power of your swing Also move inside the box if you want

[@jakefromsf7580]

Was i the only one that felt the default pitching in this was too slow and maxed out the slider to give me the most realistic reaction time? That alone made this game so much more fun and challenging on the hardest level. I remember winning a game 3-2 in a 27 inning game using almost my entire pitching roster and the nerves i would get every extra inning just made pulling the victory out that much sweeter. and my win-loss record was realistic losing 60-70 games a year.

[@j_r_3404]

The fact that you could unlock all the classic stadiums and play in them even in dynasty mode, alone, makes this game the GOAT. And there wasn't just 3 or 4 classic stadiums... it literally felt like 30-40. There was a ton. Just no Kingdome, unfortunately. I used to play in the Astrodome or Olympic Stadium w/ the Mariners and pretend it was the Kingdome. Good times.

[@AlfredoNigaglioni]

BEST BASEBALL GAME EVER ❤

[@rawhydemusic8620]

I need to get a PS2 and get this game again. This was my favorite game back in the day...

[@whataboutrob442]

This is the one EA sports game I never played, and I played them all since the first Madden on Genesis. After Triple Play baseball I was just tired of EA baseball. It was more of an Arcade game than a simulation.

[@bulldog8934]

The fact that the soundtrack wasn’t brought up in this video is a sin

[@bcgaming_]

Yeah that was an oversight on my end. For whatever it’s worth, I do mention in my other MVP reviews that MVP ‘05 does have the best soundtrack in the series. Thanks for the comment!

[@chrisspearline767]

People who think this is the best baseball game ever either never played MLB 2005 on the PS2 or don't know how to play it. That game is worlds better and the pinnacle of baseball games. No other baseball game even comes close

[@mjdelnorte685]

I named my dog Big Boy because when that vato says Big Boooy!😂😂

[@ChristopherBass-k3b]

I liked it for a little while, but high heat 2004 was the better game. But this one is a 9/10. High heat is a better experience, but it becomes very similar and quite artificial and one dimensional, even if it takes 100 games to get there.

[@zachlevinson2402]

They need to remaster this game, strictly for the graphics and make it for modern game counsels. Other than that, leave it alone

[@jodibishop3302]

This on an original Xbox with the monster HD cables looks unbelievable.

[@bcgaming_]

I bet it does!

[@ThePatriotsStinkAgain]

There will never be a better game. The mini games were so goated…. And shout-out to anyone that knows the Erik KISS cheat 🤪😂

[@thekingofkingsrp]

I love this game so much.

[@jordancarl1895]

recently started playing this game myself. how exactly do you hit balls? I know you move the left joystick to choose wether you pull/push/ground/pop the ball, but do you also need to aim at the ball with the left joystick too? or is it just about timing an x press?

[@Xenlacasa45]

Yes use the left joystick

[@fabolousjada5070]

Left joystick and very good timing. With anger I became the best in this game. Lol

[@saulspeaks2557]

Graphics? No, they don't hold up. Why would they? Game play? Absolutely. Still the best baseball game ever made and there's not even a close second. It's not "nostalgia." The best football game ever made is ten years old. They don't make good sports games anymore. They just don't.

[@bcgaming_]

All valid points. Thanks for the comment!

[@zikalokof1challenge414]

Really my only complaints about MVP 05 are the lack of different mechanics (like having a timing only system for batting for example, instead of being mostly directional based) and maybe a lack of career mode, other than that its a beast of a game, I can see why ppl call this the GOAT even after 15+ years

[@googlreviews7813]

I can't get it to work on well on my Windows 10 system. MVP 15 Mod doesnt work for me at all. And I have difficulty setting up my RAZER Wolverine V2 controller. 5th Pitch can't be used at all. Too bad, this was one of my most favorite games along with fallout
