MVP BASEBALL 2003 (PLAYSTATION 2 PS2)

MVP is EA Sports' replacement for the aging Triple Play series. Rewritten from the ground up, this rookie title features a Homerun Showdown (not a derby - something a little different) and Franchise mode along with the usual exhibition games. Lots of custom batting and throwing animations, plus hot dog vendors and hecklers shouting player and team-specific heckling - all with the aim of immersing you in the game.
