Thanks for the heads up boys! I just preordered the XBOX version.

Looks like anyone who liked the game last year will really like this year's version. I've watched the videos a couple of times now and can't wait for March 1. Wonder how stripped down the PSP version will be.

Can't Friggin' wait!

Its already been confirmed that the game is "lefty bug free". A patch (on the PC) fixed the problem last year so its not like they don't have the code.

From another board. Take it for what its worth:

Some of you might know I manage a little independant video game retail store in Baton Rouge, LA and seconds ago I got an email from my Electronic Arts sales rep notifying us of a price drop on the MSRP of MVP Baseball 2005 from $49.99 to $29.99

I like Jeter. No problems with the cover...but, its just a cover.

I've never been a fan of ESPN's player models.
Now this I like (MLB 2006)

MLB does look and sound better to me.

The training mode is superb in the Xbox version. Not only does it help you learn the controls and techniques of WE, but it also teaches you the basics of soccer! That sounds great. I've never really followed soccer but I love playing sports games. Pigpen has always told me about this game and it ha...

Pirates vs. Astros

I use MSN Music within Windows Media Player 10 and I have no complaints. I just upgraded my Realplayer and downloded a few songs using their store too. Both are good. Very convenient.

I think the Patriots are a great team, but it just cracks me up when people talk about how they are a bunch of class, no-nonsense guys. Branch and Harrison both heavily taunted the crowd in Pittsburgh on scores and on the sidelines. Corey Dillon threw the football at a banner. That's fine. I've see...

Do the heavily favored Patriots really need to make such a big deal over a few goofball comments by Freddie Mitchell? If they really think that he was calling them out for real and not goofing around, then they all need some testosterone therapy. All of this crap actually makes me long for tired ol...

I'm guessing its still 3/1. If all the major stores have it listed for 3/1, it will be 3/1. This name change is probably why we hadn't seen a box cover with the cover athlete yet. I'm guessing within a day or two we see an MLB 2K5 cover with Jeter grinning.

Just a name change this year. Still ESPN style presentation.

BaseballSimCentral is your best bet.

My hopes/anticipation for this game are very high. Can't wait.

Ground Zero for me is 3/1. On that day...

Unless you are using DVD+ recorders which supposedly lets you take a disc you record on a set-top recorder, take it to a PC, and edit it, like take out the commercials.

Copies.

Isn't the demo only good for a certain time?

Matt is the voice of the Padres on Channel 4 here in San Diego. I imagine he was picked because 989 is housed here in San Diego. Plus he will do a fine job. If there was one person I would want to replace Vinny, it would be him. BTW, the vids look simply awesome. Doby, where did Jeff Cirillo end up...

I recently purchased a DVD burner for my PC and it came with no burning software. I just want to know what kind of software I need to just copy my own DVD movies (Not purchased/protected ones). I'm talking like stuff I recorded off TV with my DVD recorder? Its not protected content or anything. Any ...

Not sure if this is old, but its new to me. Originally it was slated for 3/15.

Another great thing about this year's version....I just saw that Matt Vasgersian is the full time play by play guy now. I met Matt back in the mid 90's when I was in AA with Milwaukee and he was the El Paso Diablos radio voice. Super guy who does a great job.

Giddy up!
