Which game to buy? MVP 2005 or ESPN 2K5

[jeffwarsh]

I am looking to pick one of these games up. Which one would you recommend?

I have MVP2005 and I like it...haven't played the other one...MVP 2005 hitting is pretty much impossible...so i'd try the other one and make a decision...i like it though

I have MVP 2005 and really like it like most other people who have it. If you get it make sure you enjoy playing 3 to 2 games a lot

Hitting's impossible?? I average atleast 5 runs a game with the Red Sox. The pitching is a bit too easy IMO.

If you want some advice on hitting, wait for your pitch. By that, I mean sit on an inside or outside pitch for the first two strikes. If you don't get what you want, then on the 3rd strike, just try to get contact. And don't always go for power. Go for line drives, with the occasional power shot with your big boys. I'm playing on All-Star right now, but I've tried this strategy on MVP, and it also works pretty well.

MVP 2005 is the best baseball game out there by far. The hitting learning curve takes a little time but its worth it once you get used to it.

I've played like 100 games and still can't figure it out.. I like the game but its pretty much impossible to hit in allstar and to easy in pro

MVP 2005.

I think it's clearly better then 2K5. I like the features better.

I've only played 50-60 games, and I average atleast 10 hits a game on All-Star. On MVP, I only got 6-7.

I guess it was a bit easier when I wasn't using the ROX...but still I find power hits a little annoying..i seemed to rack up singles and thats it.

Online is fun though I have a good time doing that...although people get angry about strikes and ping and what not

I may not be of much help since I havn't played both of them, but I have MVP and I like it alot. I would probably go buy MVP if I were you.
