Is MVP Baseball 2005 Still GOOD in 2023?

[@mookiestewart3776]

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

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.

[@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.

[@breal1183]

l love this game and recently set up all my old consoles and having a blast!! Feel like a kid again!! How do you move side to side in the batters box?? l don't think l ever knew about that!!

[@ajmarkle96]

This game created a pathway for Baseball video games

[@JimTrussell]

Yes it did. Crazy stuff

[@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!

Still play this on the PC with awesome classic season mods.

[@JimTrussell]

Best baseball game ever.

[@AC-nx3wl]

do you know how to download and install it? I can't figure out how too.

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@biggdoggtorr]

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!

[@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!

[@tvstealer]

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

[@bcgaming_]

[@mookiestewart3776]

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.

[@zikalokof1challenge414]

@@logangrzesiek8749 Maybe he's talking about the feel? Cuz animations wise MLBTS for obvious reasons is better

​@@mookiestewart3776double play on the cpu really makes you wanna thrust the air huh

[@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

[@zZastik]

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.

[@arwenguitarplayer963]

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

[@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!

[@Xenlacasa45]

This is true. They ruined wrestling games making them into a simulation they are so clunky now. Here comes the pain was smooth

[@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

[@Xenlacasa45]

NFL 2k5 too. All star baseball 2005, and 2k5 world series edition, MLB 2005 by 989 sports, so many options

[@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

[@Higs8091]

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

[@bcgaming_]

100% agree! Thanks for the comment.

[@TiredOfImbecileLibtards]

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

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.

BEST BASEBALL GAME EVER ❤

[@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

[@jodibishop3302]

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.

[@Xenlacasa45]

Arent all the pitches high in that game? I've seen videos and it seems every pitch looks like a high arcady pitch I've seen some weird high arcade like sliders

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

[@Xenlacasa45]

​@@zikalokof1challenge414 I used to hit with just timing you don't have to aim the swing and still get hits

[@zikalokof1challenge414]

@@Xenlacasa45 Sure you can do that, but usually that only gets you line drive singles and maybe XBHs with the best hitters. It's not giving you the best ya know, and against all star and legend you really feel the lack of good hits
