Its truly refreshing to play a sports game that feels polished and finished. MVP 2004 is a beautiful, deep baseball game. The game is full of options and more options, but the developers didnt miss an opportunity to make a nice baseball game. The game play is terrific, surprising, and right on.
The actual game presentation and graphics are very good. Ballparks from major league cities and spring training facilities are all top-notch. Bostons Green Monster, San Franciscos cove, Philadelphia new PNC Park are just a few examples of a devotion to "get it right." The character animations are fluid and detailed. Pitching, base running, and fielding are easy to pick up and the controls make sense. Itll take a few games to get used to the batting, though. But after you get the hang of it, youll be hitting homers before you know it.
As for options, MLB 2004 has numerous ways you can enjoy this gem. There is the exhibition mode where you pick two teams and get after it. Rosters are accurate and attributes appear to be very fair. Season play offers varying lengths of schedules, from 14 to 162 games.
Overall, EA Sports recreates all that is good about baseball and packages it in MVP 2004. The game just has the "feel" of being well-balanced and complete. I hope this game is a sign of things to come from EAs sophomore series. --Andrew S. Bub
Pros:
Great fielding and batting models
Good physics and presentation
Cons:
Boring commentary

I have played this game for about a week. Here are some of my thoughts for it: The gameplay of MVP 2004 is based on the previous title MVP 2003 with some obvious improvements like big play control, and different types of slides you can choose for your runners. The graphic is a little bit better t

This is the best baseball game ever. The graphics are incredible and the game is so realistic. If your pitcher isnt doing well, you can send your manager out to talk to him. If the pitcher isnt happy about you coming out, his performance level goes down and vice versa. The pure swing system isnt too

September Swoon, by William Kashatus has a vivid feel that hits home for me and probably would for anyone else who endured the historic end-of-season collapse that happened in what was later known in Philadelphia as "the year of the blue snow." Blue it was indeed for my then fifth grade psyche. I LO..

If youre looking for a bad book about a good team, this is the book for you
Im a die hard Mets fan. I was 16 in 1986; the best age you can be when your team has a season like that. It was truly a season of baseball like it oughta be.
Jeff Pearlman spins a fairly entertaining account of the event..
