The Greatest MLB Video Game of All Time

MVP Baseball 2005 is not only, in my opinion, the greatest baseball game ever made, it has a case for being one of the greatest sports games ever made. This is a reupload due to quality issues with the previous version.

If this video looks familiar, it's a reupload from 2020. The older version didn't live up to my quality standards and I decided to sorta "remaster" it. Anyways, I'll be uploading an NBA 2K12 retrospective next!

Picked this baby up for like $10 at a local game store and walked out like I just robbed the place.

Being able to argue any call and balancing how much you wanted to push it or just full on get tossed from the game is still something unrivaled

I remember being absolutely addicted to this game when it came out, it scared me because I had no ambition in life other then to play this game for like 12 hours straight for months at a time, I would probably still be playing it if I were not forced to get a job

also thing that always amazed me about mvp baseball was how in depth the minor league systems were. could go play a single A, AA, or AAA if wanted to. and the trade machine was so damn realistic which shocks me so hard that madden current day still cant figure out. when they were able to do it great for mvp in 2005 and madden 04-2010

This game legitimately started my love for baseball. I got addicted to game of baseball and the New York Mets for no reason other than I loved their stadium.

I once played 20 games in a row one night playing MVP baseball, and so many hours in the mini game mode.

I wish EA put actual heart into their games like they did years ago, MVP will remain in my memories forever

This game is a staple of my childhood. So many nights staying up playing this game

My father and I had a rocky relationship growing up but this was something we unknowingly bonded over. I was never into sports videogames but I would sit there and watch as he played for hours and hours just working on his players and playing single games.
When I didn’t understand the stats he’d explain them to me and I think I know what little I do know about sports stats because of that.
The music was awesome too. He’d leave the game idle while he went to take a break and the soundtrack would blast through the house. One of the few good memories at the time that I look back fondly on.

Can we appreciate its soundtrack too? Honestly one of the best sports game soundtracks of all time.

God the argument/ejection system was amazing. Felt so real

The show 2010-2013 were incredible but mvp 05 is the best baseball game ever made.

[nickyross]

I still play this game to this day. I’m in about year 20 of Owner Mode. Game simply doesn’t age.

I just bought and played MVP Baseball 2005 for my PS2…it’s addicting.

[dsher]

Such good memories man. These were the days when sports devs cared about immersion and not how much they could make from loot boxes or card games. Maybe someday we can get back to this.

[justinoliveira]

MVP Baseball 2005 was absolutely amazing for its time. Unfortunately, as for many sports games we see today, companies remove features that existed in previous games and add them back in future games pretending like they added some new feature. It’s just pure corporate greed at this point. The fact that games almost two decades old are miles ahead of the modern sports games, besides graphics, is sad.

This game on the GameCube is is still King to this very day!!!

OMG when I saw the title of this video and the game cover I HAD to can't give you enough thumbs up for the video. I spent countless hours with my friends in the neighborhood, my step brothers and also my high school baseball team playing this game and watching this video makes me nostalgic as hell especially when I saw the albert Pujols in the powder blue cardinals uniform and the pitching meter. Oh man you made my day with this video haha. What you said about all the 2005 EA sports games is so damn true...I had this game, NBA Live with mello on the cover and the madden 05 with ray lewis and the tiger woods 05 was the first golf game I ever played and every single one of these games I went DEEP into careers with created players and my own mock drafts and also regular teams....The fact that the red sox (my favorite team) won it all for the first time in 86 years the year before this game came out and my fav player (besides Chipper Jones) was on the cover and it was the year I graduated high school just hits so many nostalgic spots for me that I will always love this game and the entire 05 EA sports lineup....Seeing names like Johnny Damon, David Eckstein, Alber Pujols, Manny Ramirez and JON DOWD was the first GREAT baseball game that would hold up today. OMG i miss this time frame, This was the last year or so that I knew every lineup and every pitching rotation for every team in the N.L. and the A.L. being MR. Baseball and having this game come out with all the bells and whistles was a perfect point in time for me....Love the video!!

I always tell people about this game and no one ever knows it. I played this over every other sports game for years even after others came out. The mini games were amazing, just a perfect baseball game. The Show needs to take some notes from the Goat.
