    MVP 2005 addresses, corrects, and improves upon almost every issue fans had with the previous instalments. With the addition of Owner Mode and the mini-games, EA Canada's proven that it wasn't just polishing up last year's version.
  3. The deepest, most impressive ballgame that's just too addictive.
  4. Feature for feature, there is no better pure baseball simulation to buy this season than MVP Baseball 2005.

    If I could kill the person who picked the music for this game I would... Maybe two of the songs are ok... the rest, after you hear them more than twice you want to take a bat to your telivision it's so annoying... And since I'm so smart it took me a whole two weeks to finaly figure out that I can shut the music off... But besides that.. A must have for every sports fan, let alone baseball fan. Expand
