Regardless of how successful that initial play is, these fielders can then attempt to whip the ball towards a base with as much strength as they want.
If properly timed, these throws can quickly get a ball to a baseman to make a play; if it isn't, however, the ball will most likely be overthrown, missing cutoff men entirely along with its target. Runners also have a chance to combat these defensive moves, particularly by choosing a side of the bag to slide into, along with how they choose to slide.
Whether it's stealing a base or outrunning a pick-off attempt, runners can perform headfirst, pop-up or hook slides, which can potentially give you an advantage in beating a throw. Simulation lovers have the chance to play any game in Manager mode, where commands control every aspect of a match. Home run derby has returned, along with two new mini-games. The batting mini-game works on a player's ball placement ability, placing them in a field with a number of obstacles, ramps and black holes among other things.
Accurately directing fly balls in specific directions, as well as hitting objects nets you points. The pitching mini-game, by contrast, is sort of a strike zone-meets Tetris, where each one of the pitcher's balls corresponding to a color on the screen. Hitting a color with the matching pitch clears all of the blocks associated with that area of the strike zone, making blocks fall and scoring points as well. Outside of that, there's the customary season play, which has been distilled into two separate modes.
The first is Dynasty mode, which gives you the option to play up to seasons with a franchise and its multiple farm clubs, attempting to continually fulfill one year and three-year goals. The second, and more encompassing feature is the Owner mode, which packs every single aspect of Dynasty mode with the additional challenges of creating new ballparks, setting stadium prices and handling fan expectations.
While Owner mode is limited to 30 years only, you're in complete control of every facet of your team. Often times, this is somewhat tempered with the new addition of single A teams, making you responsible for four separate clubs during your Owner mode. If you've played Madden in the past two years, you'll be right at home with this option.
Baseball has never looked so good and the subtleties of the player's movements are displayed beautifully on the screen. This serves to make defense a more fluid affair that plays out realistically on the screen. Another major improvement is the lovely facelift that players received this year. The non-descript undercooked faces from have been replaced with more realistic models. Bug-eyed botox injected versions of their favorite athletes will be cascading across the screen.
Graphically the facials changes are hit for some and a huge miss for others. There is nothing like a day at the old ballpark. The sights and yes the sounds of the ballpark are a huge draw. There are a few major points that a baseball game needs to hit to appease fans. The sounds on the field, the atmosphere of the stadium, and the commentary.
The commentary for MVP is smooth and even. There's not much extremely critical that can be said about this baseball entry, but there's nothing wildly original about its execution either. This game is deserving of a look, but far from a must have.
Baseball is a tough sport to make into a video game. Either you go overboard on stats or try to make it play well. This version tries to combine both but it ends up sacrificing some of the gameplay. Still it is the best version on the market but there is a lot of room for improvement especially in the pitching and fielding. Date Added March 29, Version 1. Operating Systems.
