Which Baseball PS2 Game to get for 2004...

[The Great Gambini]

Decisions, decisions, decisions!
What do you guys recommend? Last year I went with Sega's WSB, and the two years before that I had All Star Baseball. I am trying to decide between All Star Baseball, ESPN Baseball, and MVP Baseball. They all look good. What are you guys getting, and why?

MVP Baseball 2004

-it has every AAA and AA team and you can play with all of them
-the dynasty mode lets you: bring up and call down players, it has team chemistry that effects your team, player happiness levels, fantasy draft unlike last year, lots of other stuff
-pitcher and hitter showdowns
-manager mode where you can play the game quickly by just calling what the players should do
-online play for ps2/pc
-legendary ballplayers like babe ruth, satchel paige etc etc
-old ballparks
-player editing (so you can put bonds into the game and add minor leaguers)
-roster updates
-improved batting with pure swing system
-incredible pitching

i could keep going on and on
i am 100% convinced that this is the game to buy

I would go with ESPN Baseball, personally. I love ESPN games and i think they own EA Sports in everything except football.(nothing compares to madden). Good to see you here Gambini

Are the roster cut-offs later for any of the other games? I read that MVP's was Jan 15, is it basically the same for all?

probably. with mvp, they update the rosters, including one when the season starts, that you can download if you use PS2 or PC. all star baseball also has downloadable updated rosters for ps2
