Yes, I got two copies of MVP 2005

Well, it was only 30 dollars, so why not? Well, turns out that my decision wasn't half bad. Turns out my video card is a bit too old to effectively run the PC version. It runs but it looks severely beaten by the ugly stick. The players have no eyelids. NO EYELIDS!

That aside, the PC and the PS2 version act similarly, and there's no severe glaring bugs that need to be patched, so aside from the terrible graphics on the PC version, they're about the same. The PS2 version is easier to handle multiplayer with, as I can carry it with me to the club and people can lose to me, where the PC is good for my DynastyManager.com page (you can find it if you snoop around. My name's Zephyr).

The game's quite nice, and vastly improved from last years version. Like I said earlier, no major glitches (yet). The CPU actuall throws balls this year, and now walks from the CPU are more frequent. Also, user walks are more frequent as they made the pitch meter less forgiving. Your pitches will go off the mark a lot more in this than they would in last year's version. It's much harder to throw the perfect pitch. And the perfect pitch might not be as perfect with the Hitter's Eye. Now, you see a quick flash that tips you off to the type of pitch it is. Some pitchers are great at hiding the ball, and it makes it hard to pick the flash up. Some pitchers aren't good at it, and you can tell what's coming.

Owner's mode... I didn't like at first, but, it's gowing on me. Taking the Nationals out of RFK and putting them into a place that looks cool is nice. But it sucks that you're pretty much forced to abandon your original stadium. You can still play in it, but you only recieve money and attendance values that reflect the "created" stadium. See, that's why I wasn't into it. The create-a-stadium feature really sucks. But the mode is cool.

Anyway, I'm in class, so I'm going to start paying attention again.
