    If you want to play a well-balanced baseball game that mixes stats and simulation with arcade action, this is really your best option.
  2. Game Over Online

    With an extremely realistic presentation, augmented control system, and additional attention paid to the overall gameplay, MVP 2005 could be one of those games baseball fans keep returning to in the upcoming years of exclusive sports games.
  3. GameZone

    You can learn to read pitches, fine-tune the single-player controls to give you more room for error or tighten them up to make each pitch a challenge.

    Thrills abound for PC baseball fans who can live with an imperfect game. [May 2005, p.85]

    In this game you have not one, but two choices of a season mode. We have the return of the Dynasty Mode, but we also have ourselves a second option: the Owner's Mode.

    The biggest problem with the PC version of MVP Baseball 2005 is the keyboard and mouse layout that doesn’t adapt to any sports game very well.

    While the AI is good on the field, it's terrible in the front office. [June 2005, p.57]
