I always found it hilarious that the outfielders sometimes dashed toward the infield when a home run was hit in MLB '99 like they were coming to beat the crap out of the pitcher.

The transition from 04 to 05 was when you could see the beginning of the franchise/game we know today, awesome stuff! 🔥

[Chris-lhwj]

I’m sure a lot of kids look at 96 like it’s a joke, but I can remember being amazed with the graphics at the time, especially how much better it was then NES baseball games.

[iwj]

Bat sound effects have come a long way, they sound amazing this year, really makes a difference for the true baseball and show fans

[PCarDriver]

The evolution of the crowd is awesome.

[Punkologist]

The graphics haven't really improved much in the last 10 years

[dabski]

MVP baseball 2003-2005 was the way to go 🙏🏻

[denisbeaudoin]

One thing I miss from 06-09 era (idr when exactly) was the pitch recognition. Depending on the batters stats, the ball would flash a certain color based on what type of pitch it was. And some deliveries could hide it better naturally, and pitchers stats also combatted it. It was a great feature

[BillyBeardMusic]

The graphics are amazing, seeing the progression. If only the announcers saw the same leap

[matthewpittelli]

You can see the graphics really turn a corner around 08-09

[OlDirtyBandit]

They’re still using animations from 2010. Watch the outfield swing his arm in anger after the home run

[MrLawyer]

I remember in MLB 07 in road to the show mode that if you took a huge lead off the pitcher would always throw to your base, so if you started running right away you would always be able to steal the base (even home plate)

[yukizboy]

MLB 98 & 99 will always be my fav... those games had the best most responsive infield controls IMO... diving for grounders and then turning double plays was so much fun.

[jaymac]

The 5fps framerate on the last one 😭 lol

[Metsfan]

Imagine how great 23 would be if Vin Scully were still around and doing the commentary.

[jkong]

In many ways the current game and starting with 2007 are very similar.

Without even seeing the caption or thumbnail, I could instantly tell that 2003 - 2004 was a generation jump.

You no longer see such massive generational improvements with new consoles.

[jgonzalez]

Gameplay for 23 still needs improvement. Runners never run through first base on a bang bang play. 1st basemens need to stay on 1st to be able to try and throw out a runner from the outfield. Runners need to round first base, not stop at first when getting a hit. More realistic running routes need to be implemented. More plays need to be challenge-able! Some of the crowd should have baseball gloves as it is in real life. All home runs have balls getting caught barehanded. Background graphics need to be updated to make the ballpark more realistic, have cars in the parking lots and not empty lots. Have things actually look real. People actually selling items in the stands. Beach balls in the stands, have the crowd start the wave around the stadium. Maybe add a blimp cam from above. Implement the new lighting systems for ballparks. It would be cool for the show to have a my player mode that lets you walk all over each teams stadium like nba2k with its virtual world

So all this video showed us is that they haven’t done anything to the game in 12 years

[wesleysteeleiv]

Been buying this series every year since it was MLB Pennant Race on Playstation 1. Best baseball game series.
