This definitely did not go the way the OP wanted it to go.
With that said until Base Wars comes back. I don't care.
I might even take a Bases Loaded remake
Bruh...Base Wars was the BEST GAME

EA is the most GREEDY COMPANY ON THE PLANET! HA SDS days are not numbered bro

Imagine putting in enough blind trust in to EA that you are willing to post this based off of a game that was made over 16 years ago by people that no longer work at EA. Oh boy

If they will be using the 2005 game as a "Template Model" to adapt it to today's current advanced software, graphics, algorithms, etc & continue from where that game left off. Then yes I do have that blind trust & faith they will put out an excellent product.

As much of a fan that I was of MVP Baseball, it was designed 16 years ago under a completely different business model. It wasn't made when micro-transactions ruled the day. There wasn't a truly bad sports game at that time.
EA doesn't make any games now that don't include micro-transactions and their patented "DDA". If EA jumps into the baseball game sector again, it won't be to co-exist with SDS and leave money on the table especially now that SDS has gone cross-platform.
If EA gets involved they are going to be trying to make a hostile take over. It's not going to be LaLaland where EA says we just want a piece of the pie let's have some friendly competition and make good baseball games.
SDS has a solid platform, but they don't have the resources IMO to fend off EA like 2k did when EA tried to jump back into basketball.

Yes EA will have Content for purchase & maybe even DLC's for purchase (such as maybe with certain Uniforms, Gear Packages, Staduim Create Items, etc) Most games make money off of DLC's & "In Game Currency" purchases then the actaul initial cost of the game itself. However EA is a company that is NOT stupid or ignorant. Yes they will find ways to make more money above the initial game purchase itself. SDS does the same with selling Stubs. With that being said. If EA does plan & hope to poach away MLBTS Gamers, then they can NOT & will NOT go "OVERBOARD" with DLC's. Doing so will NOT poach away MLBTS Gamers & that is what they need because MLBTS has been the ONLY Baseball Sim game of this kind for so many years since 2K ended it's run. Too many are hooked with MLBTS. There will be no market for EA at all if MLBTS Gamers are NOT poached over to their product.

I’m not sure how we can make any sort of comparison between SDS and EA. SDS is a subsidiary of Sony Interactive. EA is an independent developer that is the parent company not a subsidiary of a parent company. And EA cannot compete on a macro level with Sony.

EA isn’t a stupid or ignorant company, as evidenced by their billions of dollars. They are, however, incredibly anti-consumer almost to a comical degree. They’ll try to get people away from the Show by using heavy marketing and promotion, buying exclusive rights deals to legends that SDS doesn’t have, and of course blatantly lying about the game whenever they can. What they won’t do is go against their business model that has made them billions of dollars. They’ll find any other way to try to draw people away from the Show that isn’t messing with their tried and true formula. Thinking otherwise just makes you naive.

Sony's licensing deal with MLB is through it's first party studio SDS. It's never been an exclusive licensing deal like EA has with the NFL. That's why MLBTS was able to be made when 2k had only the 3rd party license to MLB. EA's deal with the NFL is the only one I know of that's completely exclusive so no other studio, first or third party, can make a simulation football game using the NFL licensing.
Since there isn't an exclusive deal EA could technically at any time attempt to secure a third party licensing deal with MLB. It could also attempt to get an exclusive deal with MLB. When you look at the size of both studios (SDS and EA) there is a noticeable difference between the two. SDS is much smaller and only makes one game. EA is a much larger with multiple studios that make multiple sports titles and other games.
The question for Sony would become how much money is MLBTS making them verses the cost of competing with EA in a baseball game. Sony would have bid against EA for licensing rights depending on what EA was looking for (3rd party or exclusive). If EA got a third party license Sony and SDS would now be competing with EA.
My point was I don't think EA gets back into baseball games trying to compete with MLBTS and it's longevity in baseball. If EA gets back into baseball I would think they try to get an exclusive deal with MLB, which would block SDS from making an MLB licensed simulation. To stop that Sony would be having to pay more money to secure licensing rights again with MLB. How much more would Sony be willing to spend on that for a studio they own that makes only one game is mystery.

SDS, Your days are numbered. Start the count down because if you guys (the developers) does NOT improve this game to what most in here are wanting it to be. Then you will lose half & maybe even more then half of your customer base. You have 4 years to do this, because .......
EA is relaunching MVP Baseball in 2024.
For all you in here reading this. go see the video for yourselves.Please go to that franchise so we don’t have to hear your incessant complaints day in and day out.
You have to be affiliated with SDS in some form. How anyone not affiliated gets so distraught about someone's opinion about a game is mind boggling. If you are not affiliated, you are a super sad human being to comment on EVERY thread where someone questions the game.

It is NOT Commenting. It is having a further discussion on what was replied. Maybe even debating some. But it is NOT Commenting or even less intending to offend anyone in any way at all I welcome EVERYONE's Feedback regardless if they agree with me or not. This is why I created my OP to begin with. But some replies I do feel like replying back that reply because that is what makes the actual thread more interesting & insightful. Taking the topic even further & maybe even debating on it some.

Hopefully it happens. Competition is good for the consumer...

EA, how do I hate thee? Let me count the ways...
- Star Wars exclusivity deal that produced few if any good games
- Star Wars Battlefront 2 pay to win progression system
- SWBF2 lootboxes
- All the FIFA gambling allegations
- Buying several game companies and dismantling them, leaving their employees without jobs. There is a list of these on Wikipedia.
- Doing the above to Visceral games
- Forcing employees to "crunch" in order to get games done by set in stone release dates, rather than pushing dates back
- Not caring at all for the wellbeing of their employees, or employees of the studios they own
- Making Bioware employees crunch as they worked to make Dragon Age Inquisition, Mass Effect Andromeda, and Anthem. The latter two SUCKED and Bioware is more likely to suffer for it than EA is.
- Overbearing and overreaching sports exclusivity deals
- Madden has sucked in recent installments, btw
- Several decisions that have been made to the detriment of players in order to make EA loads of $$$

I don’t like EA very much at all, they are pay to compete and don’t always succeed, but it’s clear SDS has been totally lost in terms of progressing this franchise for a while now. Outside of moments and game modes based on moments, there’s been absolutely nothing new of note introduced into DD. SDS lack initiative and are happy to keep rehashing the same game incessantly, churning out juiced cards with new artwork and faking enthusiasm on live streams about the same cards year after year. It got tiresome and maybe it is time to let someone else have a crack at making a baseball game, because beyond making 99 overall versions of everyone, or releasing a 95, 97, 98 and then two 99 overall versions of a single player in a single season, SDS don’t have a clue how to capture the imagination of the player base. Next year we’ll probably get cards that go to 100 overall and have individual stats that can go to 150 “to separate the real standout cards from all the crummy 99 overalls”.
Get some new material already and make a realistic game with simulated bat and ball physics. Stop appealing to the lowest common denominator with shiny fake juiced cards and toss me a cookie home runs that aren’t even in the PCI. We’ve all been saying it for years, we just want to play baseball.
