Sorry, graphics didn't take the field in this version!

User Rating: 7.9 | MVP Baseball 2005 PC
Gameplay has definitely improved over last years version. You can actually get strike outs in MVP BB 2005. Without tweaking the game, the balance seems just right at the early goings. However the graphics are less than impressive. The onfield visuals are not at all crisp and have a grainy texture when playing at the recommended video settings. You may find yourself experimenting with different display drivers. New mini games are fun, especially batting practice. The new pitching game is fun but frustation soon enters the picture as you reach the higher rounds because the squares are to small to accurately hit. Sounds at the ballbark are great, but the play-by-play and color announcers are lame. This year I actually liked the music EA picked out although whatever happened to "Take Me Out the Ballgame" Too bad this is probably MVP Baseball 2005 last hooray. EA, in my opinion was moving the series in the right direction.
