Better than MVP
What makes this game the best of the main three(mvp, All-star baseball) is the REALISTIC GAMEPLAY. Graphics are fine but if the game looks pretty, but doesn't play well whats the point? Reasons why ESPN is the best on the market
1. Gameplay is real. I played MVP and the computer gets inside the park homeruns or a triple off of routine base hits(and there always in the gap).
2.If you play on the highest level (Legend) the game is not too difficult yet not too easy to beat. I get scores like 7-5 or 4-3 all the time.
3.Fielding is as good as last years game. The only problem is the infielders tend to hold on to the ball too long after they pick it up for some reason.
4. The computer doesnt do any late game tendencies (like Madden 2004)
5. Its not as easy to steal like last years game.
I like this game because the computer can still be competitive without being programmed to cheat(something the EA sports programmers need to take heed).
No sports game is perfect but Sega sports and Visual concepts will eventually surpass EA because they focus more on game play not graphics. EA's sports games are becoming arcadish. The graphics aren't perfect on ESPN because ps2 graphics are not like Xbox but to be honest with you i personally liked the graphics.
6. Presentation. Jon miller is the best color commentator in baseball. It makes you feel like your watching a real game on ESPN. I just cant figure out why they didnt have Joe Morgan along with him. Maybe in next years game. MVP's presentation isn't bad but ESPN's looks like the real deal.
I am not a huge baseball fan but if you like arcade games get MVP. If you want real baseball simulation get ESPN baseball 2K4!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best baseball game of 2004
I spent the past two years playing 3DO's High Heat, and was very disappointed to hear of their bankruptcy. Would there be a baseball game from the other companies that could compete? It didn't look good early on. EA Sports MVP Baseball has great graphics, but the gameplay (especially fielding) is clumsy, and the rosters are extremely inaccurate. 989 Sports' MLB 2005 has some decent features (the menu music features Black Eyed Peas and Jane's Addiction!), but it's entirely too easy, and you are only allowed to carry 10 pitchers on your roster. The new All-Star Baseball game is a complete joke (give it up, Akklaim!), and I will say nothing further about it...
Which leads me to ESPN Baseball. Released by Sega Sports, and only just recently hitting stores after a lengthy delay, it's a winner. The animations are fluid and life-like, the graphics are gorgeous, and you can make it as simple or complicated as you like. Like the other ESPN videogames, this is set up just like a broadcast from the sports network, complete with the Baseball Tonight theme music. Jon Miller and Rex Hudler offer fun commentary that does get a tad repetitive after a while, and the stadiums look just like their real-life counterpart. True double-switches aren't possible (is High Heat the only baseball game to get this right?), but that's the only major complaint I have about this game.
Bottom line: if you're a frustrated High Heat fan that was not impressed by MVP Baseball (DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!), this is the game to get. Well done!
