    An incredibly well-put together baseball game. Its presentation is top-notch, it includes a number of modes that you can spend countless hours playing, and the sense of control is unmatched.

    The deepest, most impressive ballgame that's just too addictive.

    Together with a near flawless play-by-play announcer, excellent sound, music and solid online play, EA Sports has done it again with MVP. [Apr 2005, p.76]

    EA continues to raise the bar year after year with its sports simulations, and MVP Baseball 2005 is no exception.
  5. Electronic Gaming Monthly

    The hardcore MVP player will dig getting a read on the ball as it leaves the pitcher's hand. Maybe 2K Games can steal this feature next season - EA surely won't need it. [April 2005, p.112]

    The new material that EA has implemented is minimal at best, and most of the additions don't generate a lot of excitement. With that said, this is still the best-playing baseball game on the market. [March 2005, p.118]

    The owners and dynasty one-two could make MVP a must-have for detail-oriented fans, especially those without a PS2 who are locked out of "MLB 2006's" equally strong offering.

    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 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
