MVP Baseball 2004. What can I say. There has never been a time I played baseball on any console and liked it. My All Star Baseball 2004 for PS2 had some major problems in the batting and pitching interface. The game was also graphically challenged in my opinion. I also rented High Heat for XBOX, and all I can say is that I had to wash my eyes, fingers and mouth after playing it. At last ASB 2001 for the Nintendo 64 quenched my thirst for a satisfiying video game, but not a single portion of the game made me jump up in excitement and squeal like a 5 year old girl.
After all those disappointments, I went out and grabbed a surprisingly cheap copy of MVP Baseball 2004 ($9.99). Immediately after arriving at home, I inserted the disk of MVP and installed in 5 minutes flat. I then proceeded to start the game.
First, I went to Roster Management and created myself with ratings of 100 and 99. Next, I saved him and signed him to the Dodgers. Then, I went back to Roster Management and filled my Dodger roster with players like: Nomar Garciaparra, Derek Jeter, Gary Sheffield, Manny Ramirez, Kevin Brown, Kurt Schilling, Pedro Martinez and many more All-Star caliber players. I then saved the roster.
I then went to Dynasty mode and simmed the first half of the season.
Dodgers:67-14
The next quarter of the season I managed the games. This mode I think was the best part of the game. It was off the charts!! You get to control what you're players do like: Swing away, bunt, hit and run, pitch batter, pitch out, walk batter and many more.
The final quarter of the season, I played, and got the real feel of the game. The graphics were a million times better than any game I had played, except for the ESPN series. The crowd sounded very real, you could actually here them chanting" Let's go Dodgers, let's go!!" and "Beat the Cubs, beat the Cubs!!". The batting is super fun, and the pitching too. the pitching method is obviously different than other baseball games, the meter is similar to golf games. I did this until the end of the season.
Dodgers: 107-54
I then simmed the playoffs and ended up as World Champion! Muahahahahahaha!
I saved my Dynasty and exited to the Main menu. I tried out the other game modes too, which were pretty cool.
Overall, I think this is the best PC sports game made, hands down!

P.S.: I loved the menu music!!!

    MVP Baseball 2004 is simply the best baseball game I've played. Still, I do have some complaints about it. Mainly gameplay and graphics-wise, but that is only because no game is perfect, and neither is this one. Gamep... Read Full Review
