i honestly believe that there has not been a better baseball game since MVP 05... mechanics wise it is flawless... and is truely a baseball simulation... after playing 2k6 and 2k7 and mlb 06 and 07... i can see why they were desperate in getting the MLB license because they are still way behind.. there are many gameplay mechanics they need to fix.. and i still prefer mvp 05 over any of these newer baseball games and i wish EA would do something about it .. quick...
