  1. With a revamped Dynasty mode, a new batting system, and my favorite feature, Big Play Control, MVP Baseball 2004 is the complete package. [Apr 2004, p.73]

    There is just so much here to do, and so many players to play with, all with their own distinctive styles.
  3. Another great visual feature is the incredible picture-in-picture set ups with the base runners. You can see all of them as they’re rounding the base or leading off without having to rely on watching a small dot.
  4. 85
    Offers super graphics, intuitive and deep gameplay, and one heck of a Dynasty mode.

    The best video game I've ever played. Controls are intuitive. The game allows the player to have lots of control. For instance, unlike in most baseball games, you can control how hard you want to your fielders to throw the ball. Player motions are fluid, so you can dive or throw, knowing that your player will move react as soon as you press the corresponding button. Also, MVP 2004 allows you to play with minor league teams, adding a whole new dimension to it's dynasty mode (aka season mode). In addition, MVP 2004 becomes so much fun once you unlock all the old-timers. Drawbacks: Learning to hit the ball properly can be a bit difficult; minor league teams are comprised mainly of made-up players; only a few minor league stadiums available. Expand

    This is the 1st next gen baseball game I've played that feels somewhat complete. It's almost a shame that they'll create another version next year and make this years out of date. Expand
