    Without question, EA's latest baseball title is our choice for best baseball game for 2003. [Apr 2003, p.70]

    Washes away all of the bad memories of the "Triple Play" series and has changed the way I will look at pitching, fielding and batting in baseball games going forward - this game is that innovative.

    MVP's pitcher/batter interface alone makes for thrilling head-to-head play.

    Breathtakingly good when it comes to stadium detail, batting stances, facial expressions, facial expressions and the like, [but] the game lacks an essential bit of realism that keeps it from elite status. [Apr/May 2003, p.90]

    Great game except you can't play a 2 player season or franchise mode game! You can't even pick what games you want to play during the season. You can only play your own teams games.… Expand

    I think it's hard to make strike out. and CPU only swings at a strikeball.

    Pitching/Batting interface rocks. But, the game must have skipped some part of bug testing cuz all sorts of glitchy crap happens all the time. Some times you will run your fielders to pick up a ball in the outfield an you will run up and right when you are about to pick up the ball it switches your control to a different player until u have 4 guys around the ball and cant have any of them pick it up. FRUSTRATING describes playing franchise mode on this. My second baseman broke his ankle when he swung at a ball once! If you can get past the glitches, this game is a great game.… Expand
