Best baseball game of all-time

He doesn't even play DD. He plays Franchise mode.
-
I'd rather play Franchise than DD. But they've completely neglected the mode.
By the way, there's a reason why EA, SDS, 2K et al. won't allow their older, pre-card collecting games for backwards compatibility. Those games [censored] SMOKE games from the past 8 years or so.
I have a ps2 and every now and then roll out the NCAA 06. Not even close.

Game 6 of last years World Series for me. Max was a beast, Soler Power, and clinching a World Series title for the Braves!

It’s far from perfect, but it is objectively the best. The lack of any real competition for more than a decade certainly helps, though. When other studios get a chance, it’s going to take some time for them to even come close.

I don't think it would take EA that long.
Look at how they made F1 '22, which was already a great game, and this is the 2nd year they made it. -

Codemaster has been making the F1 games for years now just EA publishes them. EA is only in yhe F1 game because the purchased their way in it wouldn't be the same for MLB they would have to start from the ground up as their is no developer to buy who already has a game built

While all you said is true, I notice the EA difference or enhancement already. Been buying since F1 '16. There is an EA difference.
EA can expand the MVP engine, which I'm sure is parked somewhere

I’m not particularly excited for an EA game. Madden is not what it once was.

This game has steadily declined. 16/17 were great. This years game is on par with 18, hot trash that plays as intended.

I'm not excited for an EA game, I'm excited to see if competition will push SDS to actually work on issues that we all have known about for many years.
As far as topic goes, this is what Tyler says every year. And since he plays franchise mode and franchise mode has been largely untouched every year for a decade, it's easy to see why he still thinks it is the best.

Game Day 98 was my jam. You couldn't do careers or play online but man could you get those minecraft looking players to hit hard and sack the QB. Think one game I had 8 sacks from one guy. Nothing better then seeing minecraft looking Deion high step into the endzone for a TD.
For baseball games I liked Ken Griffey's baseball and high heat.

I don't think I played Game day but I do remember it. Sounds like I missed out.
Me and a couple friends dusted off the PS2 and played Madden and High heat BB. HH is still the most customizable BB game ever even to this day. It had Barry Bonds plus you can charge the mound! Good times!
-
I played High Heat on PC. Very underrated game. Hardball before that. I still have its theme song stuck in my head.
-
Yeah, HH for PC was best baseball game in the PSX era, and not even close. HH was on ps2, and was good but was still no where as great as PC version, which is how MVP was able to be best of that Gen. Although I still prefer ASB.
And yes PS2 still holds up, especially for NCAA Football. Ps2>Ps3 for that game.
-
Man, I thought this was a thread for Earl Weaver Baseball...
-
RBI baseball on the NES. That’s the best ball game ever
-
Ken Griffey Baseball on the N64 is still the benchmark against which all sports games are measured.
8 team fantasy draft made for great couch play tournaments amongst friends.

Griffey Baseball was great. I’ll put Mike Piazza Strike Zone down as the worst sports, no, video game I’ve ever played.

PS2 HH is king IMO.
