    Without question, EA's latest baseball title is our choice for best baseball game for 2003. [Apr 2003, p.70]
  2. A terrific, joyful game that is amazing to look at, a delight to listen to and exceptionally fun to play.
  3. With a perfect balance of realism and entertainment, EA Sports has really hit the mark with MVP Baseball.
  4. 83
    MVP's pitcher/batter interface alone makes for thrilling head-to-head play as wannabe hurlers finally need skill to throw strikes.
  5. EA Sports is headed in the right direction, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
  6. While MVP Baseball 2003 isn't perfect, it's still an impressive first entry in a new sports series and a very good baseball game in its own right.
