Publisher's description of MVP Baseball 2004
In MVP Baseball 2004, the fundamentals of pitching, fielding, andbaserunning have been reproduced like never before to give you completecontrol over every aspect of the game, while the new EA Sports PureSwing System provides unprecedented command of each type of swing inevery situation. Great gameplay and a variety of features make MVPBaseball 2004 the runaway pennant winner.
This second edition of MVP Baseball improves quite a bit from itsfirst release, fixing glaring omissions such as bull-pen pitchers andcoaching visits to the mound, and completely revamping the hittingsystem. The pitching-and-defensive system is tighter as well, with aconsole-style control scheme that's much more enjoyable with a gamecontroller. The demo only allows one three-inning game between the RedSox and the Yankees, but it's a good introduction to the gameplaymechanics. Unfortunately, management-simulation features are onlyavailable in the full version.
The graphics and audio in the game are fantastic. Giants announcersDuane Kuiper and Mike Krukow offer fantastic play-by-play commentary,with detailed info about each player. The atmosphere of the crowd alsois impressive and realistic. Customizable replays show the nitty-grittydetails, and MLB superstars have their own signature home-runcelebrations. The unique pitching system uses a well-designed meter forgauging accuracy and location, but a dual-analog controller isessential for any success hitting or fielding. The left analog stickcontrols your players' movements, while the right-analog stick (whichcan be simulated with the Shift key plus directional buttons on thekeyboard) performs dives and jumps when fielding, initiates advancedsliding techniques on the bases, and aims your bat at the plate. Usingthe Pure Swing System to direct your swing is impossible without acontroller. Although the game loses some points for antagonizing gamerssans controllers, the strong graphics, quality gameplay, and excellentattention to detail earn the demo high marks.
