sports and outdoors

This is the best baseball game ever. The graphics are incredible and the game is so realistic. If your pitcher isn't doing well, you can send your manager out to talk to him. If the pitcher isn't happy about you coming out, his performance level goes down and vice versa. The pure swing system isn't too hard once you get used to it.

The realism is incredible. I got hit by a pitch. On the screen it flashes "To charge mound, press triangle." I charged the mound and the benches cleared and several players got ejected. If that happens in Dynasty Mode your players might get suspended.

Dynasty mode is great. There is every single AA and AAA team and you can play their games. There are rainouts (which result in doubleheaders later in the season),suspensions etc. You even have an "email" system where the players,staff and media send you messages. Players might email you complaining about their contract or playing time. The Front Office might email you that you're about to lose your job. The media emails you about injury updates, trades and more.

This game is great!

This is a very entertaining and neat game. There are lots of things that I like. The graphics are amazing. Your player can make many different slides to the bases (possibly knocking down the player) and excellent diving plays in the outfield. The batting and pitching controls are good. You need to time your pitches just right. It gets easier. You can edit the player's batting stances (even during the Franchise Mode). Like all sports games, the announcers always repeat themselves. It's bearable. The music is very good. There are only about 4 songs that aren't enjoyable. The gameplay is great. It includes Franchise Mode, Pitcher Showdown, Home Run Showdown, Manager Mode, Scenario Editor, and Exhibition. Franchise Mode is my favorite because you get to play for years with the MLB, AAA, and AA leagues. You are given team goals that, if you complete, will improve your manager rating. Player Happiness is important because it effects the player's performance. Team Chemistry is also important. It helps the team work better together. Home Run Showdown and Pitcher Showdown are ok. They aren't extremely exciting to me or anything. Manager Mode could be better, But it's an easy way to kind of simulate the game, while watching and controlling what goes on. Scenario Edit puts you anywhere you want in a baseball game. My MVP lets you unlock alternate uniforms, legendary teams, historic players, and historic stadiums. It's fun playing with the AAA and AA teams. The main glitch I see is when they show the outfielders for the away team, the names never show up. Overall, 5 stars. Give this game a try.

This is the best baseball game ever invented!! The reality level is the most ive ever seen, the graphic enhancement is unbelievable, the player control is sWEET!, the pitching is fun, and the added bonuses are the best. i give this game five stars easily hands down. if your looking for a realistic yet very fun baseball game go out and buy MVP Baseball 2004!
