The video game industry started dying for me when we lost having a choice with major sports games. The games and gameplay were rich in these times. Nowadays, it's only the companies with their exclusive rights.
I had All-Star 05, MLB 2k5, and MVP 05. I enjoyed all 3 so much but I gotta give it to MVP 05. I feel so privileged to experience all 3 of those titles. On top of Madden 05 and NFL 05, 2005 will live as the best year for sports games. MVP 05 and NFL 2k are still modded and played on servers to this day. I love MLB the Show but MVP 05 was incredible.
Back when there was actual competition. I actually enjoy both of them, but I think MVP 2005 is more advanced than MLB 2K5. 2K5, however, is an underrated game! (Also, I wonder how long MLB 2K5's franchise lasts. I know MVP's is 120 years, which is 19,440 regular season games (162 games x 120 seasons))
I'm in the minority but I preferred 2k5 over the beloved MVP. The gameplay was just as good IMO and the ESPN presentation with Karl Ravech intros and commentary by Jon Miller and Joe Morgan was so cool. Regardless, it's a shame that there is no competition anymore. We only get one choice per sport which I guess isn't a choice at all. As great as The Show is, it's becoming stagnant. I still play 20.
I'm a MVP baseball fan. I own MVP Baseball 2005 and MVP baseball 2007/NCAA baseball for the PS2. The fun part about the MVP series is the create mode. I'll play owner mode in MVP 2005, and treat the game as a franchise simulator. The replay value is high because you have a variety of options (the 2005 Tampa Bay Rays had one of the best farm systems). Now with 2007 MVP, I like to create realistic generic ballparks (small, medium, big), so if I play against a team, you have more options to play at other venues.
@@keneth-perera Farm system is another way of saying Minor leagues and it is a pro league that develops players so they can reach the big stage which is the major leagues.
I say MVP Baseball is the best because it has unlockable legends and classic stadiums, several great throwback uniforms (depending on the team) great gameplay, 720p High Definition display and cool features. However, Major League Baseball 2K5 has a better presentation (ESPN of course!), better play-by-play commentary (it has Jon Miller in it) and you can add your own stadium music (like Bye-Bye Baby for the Giants, the Yankees fight song for the New York Yankees, Meet the Mets for the New York Mets, etc.).
@@ajmarkle96 oh yes, yes that slipped my mind there. After looking there, ps2 was very limited baseball games in europe. All star baseball up to 2004, high heat baseball and homerun? Was same with xbox 360 here, mlb2k11 and that was it as far as I know. Guess they didn't think they would sell well here.
@@ajmarkle96 Deeper gameplay, a true expansion mode where you pick a team name, City, pick a ballpark and do a full expansion draft. The game even tells you the pros and cons of each fictional ballpark and recommends certain players who will excel in those dimensions. It also has an insane number of unlockable legends. It’s the best kept secret in sports gaming

MVP Baseball 2005: 9/10
MLB 2K5: 8/10
What two sports games by different companies would you suggest?

sadly thats true. Wish they focused on consumers rather than corporate.

Nice! Those games are pretty cool.
I had both. MVP Baseball was just super fun to play.
Indeed

30 years sadly.
Had both at the same time. 2K5 was underrated as hell. Loved the presentation and Joe Morgan commentating.

I understand where you are coming from.
Plus I love the whole if you can see a pitch you have the chance to drive it yard
I completely understand to hear all you said about MVP Baseball 2005 and MLB 2K5 (Xbox) comparing Aaron.
Thanks
You're welcome Aaron!
I always played 2k5 but looking forward to diving into MVP 05 after buying an old copy. Particularly owners mode.
Have fun
❤❤❤❤ Yes, bro, try all the modes MVP is unparalleled in baseball sims.

@@ajmarkle96 so every mlb team have a A,AA,AAA team is that right

@@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane love your analysis
2K Sports, not 2K Entertainment.
Thank you for clarification. This is an older video
Can't get mvp baseball 2005 on ps2 here in Europe.
What about all star baseball 2005, or mlb the show games on ps2?
I don't have a PS2, just Xbox and maybe GameCube games to play on the wii. However, comparing them would be interesting
@@ajmarkle96 xbox versions would be the same.
@@KrisVic91 MLB the show wasn't on xbox till 20 I think. All Star I want to get soon.

@@KrisVic91 well there is ebay to get those games online. Just make sure you check seller's rating.
I like mvp a little more. But for me my favorite game is mlb power pros 2008
Cool
All-Star Baseball 2005 is better than both
Oh? How so?

@@hankhell5663 Interesting
It's all about the on field gameplay and 2k5 and MVP had much superior gameplay. I couldn't care less about making an expansion team.
MVP 2005 is the most overrated sports game ever
ok
@@ajmarkle96 Sorry I just don't like games that always end 1-0
@@chrisspearline767 understandable, it was just a gameplay edit I did and not the full game. It can be a hard game.
@@chrisspearline767 it's usually about practice and experience that helps out a lot
@@ajmarkle96 A lot of baseball games give you weak hits when you make solid contact but give the computer hits that's the difference
