I'm not sure if it's the players, the home runs, the bottom of the 9th suspense, or the fields the players play on. Whatever it is, it's kept me watching baseball for several years, and there's no signs of me stopping. MVP Baseball has been around for several years now, but its future is unclear at the moment because of a series of exclusive contracts game manufacturers have made with the major sports organizations. This will be the last baseball game from EA Sports in the series, unless they go either with some sort of fictional league (and players) or go the college route. To the best of my knowledge, no one has made a college baseball game before; this could be a great thing for EA Sports to try given their experience with other collegiate sports titles. Most of the FAQs I've written have been for Strategy titles, this is the first Sports game I've written for (if you exclude Wrestling), so it's going to be a challenge. If you have anything you'd like to contribute, big or small, don't hesitate to send me an email. There is a lot to include in this FAQ, and I could certainly use the help. ================================================================================ MVP Baseball 2005 Features ================================================================================ Own the Plate Change your position in the box to adjust to where the pitcher is working you, or keep the defense honest with a bunt for a hit.

Below you will find a brief description as to what you can expect to find while in that part of the game. PLAY NOW This will give you the opportunity for a quick game of baseball. You don't get the option to choose which stadium you play in, however. EXHIBITION Very much the same as Play Now, but you get the option of choosing the stadium you're going to be playing in. As close to a regular season game as you can get without actually being in one. DYNASTY MODE You take control of a MLB Organization and play for several years. You're judged against a series of one- and three-year goals. Every milestone you achieve increases your manager rating. This is very similar to the Owner Mode, minus the money aspect for the most part. OWNER MODE Build a park, set ticket prices, and manage the financial aspect of your club. Add all of that to Dynasty Mode, and you get the "NEW" Owner Mode. MVP ONLINE Play online against friends or strangers. You will need access to the Internet, and depending on which game system, a modem of some kind is required. (ie. PS2 requires the PS2 Online Adapter from Sony). MINI GAMES Perfect your batting and hitting skills in these three mini games. HOME RUN SHOWDOWN Pick a couple of mashers, choose a cumulative distance, and swing for the bleachers. The first player to hit the total distance target wins. MANAGER MODE You control the game strategy, while leaving the on-the-field execution to the players in this single-player mode. SCENARIO EDITOR Two outs, bottom of the ninth- create any scenario and play it out to see how you do. ================================================================================ Player Positions ================================================================================ There are a number of positions for players to play at. If you aren't at all familiar with baseball, this section will give you a much better idea of who does what on the field. Pitcher (P) - Charged with delivering the ball to the plate in a manner difficult for a batter to hit. Good throwing speed is good indication of a pitcher, but accuracy is more important. They should be tough, smart, and retain their composure when faced with a challenging situation. Will be required to 'cover' home plate on a short pop fly or foul when there are runners on third. Catcher (C) - Generally the team leader while on the field since they are the only player facing all the other players. The catcher will: track the count on the batter; track the number of outs; remind fielders of their position on the field; back up 1st base on every infield play; and generally spend most of the time getting up and down from the squat position. Makes my calves hurt just thinking about it! This player should be your most rugged and quickest thinking individual. First Base (1B) - The perfect place for a 'lefty' who can catch the ball well. Balls will be bouncing in, flying in, on target and off target, so their primary responsibility will be to catch and/or stop the ball. Strength and size are also strong determining factors. Strong concentration skills will also be a necessity, as they will potentially be involved in every play. Second Base (2B) - Size and stature are of little importance. Speed, quickness and good fielding will be the determining factors. Must be able to 'think-ahead' when there are base runners, I.e. "If the ball is hit to me, I will touch second base, or tag the runner, and then throw to first". Third Base (3B) - This player should have excellent forward and lateral speed, as most balls hit at them will be short, and/or to the players' left. They should be able to throw the ball on a dead-run and be able to field the ball barehanded. They are the furthest from first, so a strong throwing arm is required. Shortstop (SS) - This player has more ground to cover than any other player does and must be fast, quick, agile and have a strong throwing arm. The shortstop will potentially field more ground balls, in more off-balance positions, than any other player. Being able to 'think-ahead' is required for this position as well. This position will backup the second baseman on any throws to second. Left Fielder (LF) - Of all outfield positions, this player should have the weakest arm, as they do not generally throw the ball as far. They still require good fielding and catching skills and backup third on pick-off attempts from the catcher or pitcher. Center Fielder (CF) - This will be the player that has the best combination of speed and throwing distance. Like shortstop, they cover more 'grass' than any other player and, most likely, will catch the most fly balls. They must backup second on all bunts and throws from the catcher. Right Fielder (RF) - As well as the requirements above should be a good 'think-ahead' player. This player backs up first base on all throws from the catcher and all bunted balls, since the catcher must be available for fielding the ball. They backup second on any ball thrown from the left of the diamond. I.e. shortstop, third base or foul territory. ================================================================================ Hitting ================================================================================ Hitting well can be a difficult thing to do. Simply hitting the ball into the field of play can be done by just about anyone. Slicing a ball down the first or third base line just out of the reach of the first or third baseman is very difficult. Other than hitting the ball to specific parts of the field, hitting a home run is by no means a piece of cake; in fact, you'll likely find it to be rather difficult for a while. TIMING The single most important of hitting is timing. You'll hear this from just about every MVP Baseball 2005 player in message boards and chat rooms. You must get your timing down! This takes time and patience, for you must get accustomed to the game's various pitches. If you're thrown two Fastballs, don't be surprised if you're thrown a slower pitch like a Changeup to get you to strike out. The pitches have varying speeds and movements. A Fastball and say a Slider are very different. Explaining timing is impossible; it's just something you have to figure out. It's muscle memory, instincts, a little bit of everything. In order to get your timing down, I recommend using the Hitting Mini-Game. The Home Run Showdown isn't a good place to start - the split screen thing makes it more difficult in my opinion to work on your hitting - get started in the Hitting Mini-Game. You not only work on timing, but you can learn to hit the ball to certain parts of the field, using the Analog Stick. HOT/COLD ZONES Other than timing, you need to work on hitting when the pitch is thrown in a certain pitch location. If you have the Hot/Cold Zones option turned on (it's on by Default), you will see red, white, and clear boxes. Each player has different Hot and Cold areas within the strike zone. These are represented as blue and red squares on the strike zone grid. As you might imagine, a player will be worse at hitting a pitch in his Cold zone, and better at hitting one when it's pitched into his Hot zone. Clear spaces in the grid give no real dis/advantage to the hitter. The general idea with the Hot/Cold Zones is to wait for a pitch to be thrown into your Hot Zone, so you can either get a base hit, or drive it over the wall for a Home Run. As with timing, this is difficult to get down, so to speak. It's patience and intuition. ANALOG STICK This isn't very difficult to figure out. Using the Analog Stick in coordination with your ability to determine the pitch type and location can turn into some great offensive games. Up/Left - For a right hand hitter, you'd only want to use this if you got a good pitch up and in and you wanted to hit it over the fence. Otherwise, you'll likely pop it up to the Left-Fielder. For a left hand hitter who got a pitch high and outside, you could be able to take the pitcher deep to the opposite field. If you're unable to take it deep, you'll likely pop it out to the Left-Fielder. Up - If you hold Up on the Analog Stick, you'll likely drive the ball deep to the outfield. Depending on the situation, it could end up being a base hit, a pop up, or a Home Run. Just keep two things in mind. One: Since you're using an uppercut swing, you will likely miss a ball thrown low in the Strike Zone. Two: The fence in Center Field is much deeper than that of the Left/ Right Field, so don't count on too many balls being hit over the Center Field wall. Up/Right - This is pretty much the opposite of what is written above in the Up/Left section. Left - For a right hand hitter, an inside pitch could be ripped down the line and in between the Third Baseman and Left-Fielder. Depending on how close the Left-Fielder is playing to the Left Field line, you will likely get a single or perhaps even a double if you're fast on your feet. It's certainly not going to lead to a home run. For a left hand hitter, an outside pitch could be hit down the line and in between the Third Baseman and Left-Fielder. Depending on how close the Left-Fielder is playing to the Left Field line, you will likely get a single or perhaps even a double if you're fast on your feet. It's certainly not going to lead to a home run. Zero - I'm referring it to position zero, or as some may say "neutral". This could result in just about anything, it's especially going to depend on pitch type and location. It's certainly not going to lead to a home run. I've used this a few times if the Second Baseman is playing too close to First, with the intent of hitting the ball right to Second Base and watch it roll out the Center Fielder. Right - This is pretty much the opposite of what is written above in the Left section. Down/Left - I have to admit I don't use the Down positions on the Analog Stick too often, since it's so easy to find yourself either grounding out or even getting into a double play. An inside pitch (middle or low) to a right handed hitter, or an outside pitch (middle or low) to a left handed hitter, will likely ground the ball towards Third Base or to the Shortstop. Down - As with the "Zero" or "Neutral" position, I usually use this if the Second Baseman is playing too close to First base, with the intent of hitting the ball right to Second Base and watch it roll out the Center Fielder. Even if the Second Baseman does get to the ball after diving, he may not be able to throw out a fast hitter. Don't use this at a high pitch. The ideal pitch location for this would be middle or middle-low. Down/Right - This is pretty much the opposite of what is written above in the Down/Left section. HITTER'S EYE A great deal of the marketing of this game is being spend talking about the new Hitter's Eye feature in the game. Some players have found it more useful than others. You can turn it off if you wish. The general idea of it is to tell you which pitch type is coming. Just as the pitch is being thrown, the ball will change colors, depending on which pitch is coming your way. Depending on the Camera View/Angle you have chosen, it could be of some help. Also, some pitchers have bizarre stances, throwing manerisms, etc, which could do much of the same as the Camera Angle. Here is a list of the colors and which pitch(es) they represent: White = Fastball/Cutter Red = Curveball/Screwball/Slider/Slurve Purple = Sinker/Splitter/Forkball Orange = Knuckler Green = Palmball/Changeup HITTER'S FEET In order to help you hit the Inside/Outside pitches, you should really consider playing around with where you are standing in the batter's box. When I started playing the game, I didn't bother moving around at all, but after I did, my number of hits improved by about 10-15%. Some situations where this could come in handy is Up & In pitches and Low & Away pitches. Moving yourself around in the box can improve your odds of making contact on those pitches. Holding L2 + moving the Left Analog Stick Right or Left will move your feet in the batter's box. BAD PITCHES As a pitcher wears down over the course of a game, he's likely going to make mistakes. Inside pitches may end up almost hitting you or they could end up on the outside corner of the plate. When the pitcher misses his pitch, you can tell because there is a little Circle on the screen. If the pitch completely misses the strike zone, the Circle will appear just before the pitch crosses the plate (to help you), but it will have a little "X" inside of it. DO NOT SWING AT THESE! If you swing, you're going to miss them completely. A missed pitch in your Hot Zone will show up as light red, one in your Cold Zone will show up as light blue, and one in a Neutral Zone will be light gray. A missed pitch is a major opportunity for you to make something happen, as it is easier to see than any other pitch. ================================================================================ Pitching ================================================================================ Between Pitching, Fielding, and Hitting, I'm best at pitching, although I'm by no means superb at it. It's something that you must work on, like any other aspect of the game. In order to pitch well, you're going to need to know your pitcher, among other things. Chances are, your pitcher doesn't have a great ability to throw all of his pitches. He likely excels at one or two, but the other one or two probably don't break much over the plate. Other than how much the ball breaks, pitch placement is also important. If you're going to be successful, you're going to have to paint the corners, as it's called. Throwing pitches to the edges of the pitching box will increase the likelihood you'll either strike the batter out or see him pop out. Don't just stick inside the box, go outside of it. If you've ever seen a baseball game in person or on television, you'll see pitchers routinely throwing balls out of the strike zone. The reason for this is not that they're bad pitchers, it's to get the batter to chase the pitch, hopefully missing it completely. Because it works in real games, it does work in the video game. Make the hitters chase the ball! Regardless of where you throw the ball, you will also need to mix up your pitches. Even if you have one of the finest pitchers in the game, you're not going to do well is you only throw fastballs. Throw curveballs, fast- balls, splitters, whatever is in your arsenal or pitches. Also, don't forget to switch up the speed of your pitches. Don't let the hitter get comfortable. ================================================================================ Team Ranks & Rivals ================================================================================ Below you'll find information as to how the teams and their minor league affiliates are ranked.

================================================================================ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) ================================================================================ This is the section I've dedicated to questions that I deem are asked quite a bit, and instead of receiving the same questions over and over, they will be asked and answered below. Be sure to read this section prior to asking me a question. Q: I lost my manual - can you send me yours? A: No. This kind of question is one I don't like to answer. Far too many people are using pirated copies. If you use a pirated version, obviously there's no printed manual. Q: Can retired players become managers? A: No. Q: Why isn't Barry Bonds in the game? A: Barry Bonds, for one reason or another, decided not to sign with the player's union. Because of this, EA Sports cannot legally include him in the game. They did, however, include him, but under another name. He's Jon Dowd. If you want him to look like Barry Bonds, you'll have to edit his face, jersey number, etc. In case you need help with this, try this information submitted to me by Eddie W. Face: 14 Hair Color: 1 Hair: 1 Facial: 1 Bat Color: 7 Glove: 3 Elbow: 1 Shin: None Wrist: 3 (too bad they aren't black) Socks: Low Batting Gloves: On Stance: E.Chavez Q: What's up with the red/green fielding circles? A: When the ball is in the air, the red color is indicating to you to get ready to catch it. Green means you should jump to rob the batter from a home run (obviously this is when you are next to the wall). Q: When I lead off, I keep getting picked off. Please help! A: Well, when you lead off, you do run the risk of getting picked off. Perhaps you should go into the Options and choose Automatic Retreat instead of Manual Retreat. This will give the retreat option to the computer to do, instead of relying on you. Q: Where can I find updated rosters? A: EA has a downloadable roster update through the PS2 online adapter, and I'm sure there are ways for people to download official rosters for their XBox or PC. If you're looking for a Sharkport or Max Drive roster update, check out sites like http://www.ps2rosters.com, http://www.geekrosters.com, or http://www.gamefaqs.com Q: What's the Cooperstown Effect? A: This gives the menus an old, yellow look. The graphics in general change, making it look like you're watching an old tape of a game from several decades ago. Q: Can I change the number of games I have to play in a season? A: No. If you don't want to play them, Sim or Manage them. Q: I hit an inside-the-park-home run. Why am I not credited with a home run? A: It's a bug in the game. Instead of getting credited with a HR, you get a Triple. Q: When a pitch is being thrown, why is it grey/black? A: It's EA's attempt to bring more realism to the game, and it's intended to be a shadow. If you've been to a baseball game during the afternoon, eventually, there is some sort of shadow on the in-field, which can affect the players. Q: How can I keep my players happy? A: Offer them more money and time off. They may want more playing time if they're not a starter. There's no simple way to please everyone. Q: How can I climb the fence to nab a home run? A: I've not been able to "climb" the fence, just jump, and you can do that with moving the analog stick towards the wall, while you're standing close to the wall. Q: How can I make money in Owner's Mode? A: The question of the century. 90% of the email I receive is about making money in the game, and frankly, there's no quick and simple way to make money in the game. It's something that will take you a long time to do. Winning home games brings in money, and you'll have to fill those seats of yours. Making the playoffs is essential if you're going to be making money. Adding more seating, concessions, etc, and you'll eventually get there. As manager, you will also have to cut your payroll in some areas eventually. Sometimes, you'll come across a player who just isn't what he used to be, and is taking up a large chunk of your payroll (Sammy Sosa, for example). Cut him loose and invest in another player. Q: Where's MVP Baseball 2006? A: Because EA lost its rights to the players and stadiums in the MLB, they aren't allowed to release a baseball game featuring MLB players and stadiums. Since they still wanted a baseball game, they went the college route, with MVP 06 NCAA Baseball, released in January of 2006. If you're looking for a game for the "new" season, you'll have to go with something like MLB '06: The Show from SCEA. I haven't tried that game, so I cannot offer any personal opinions on the gameplay in that title. ================================================================================ Jukebox ================================================================================ Like all major EA Sports titles, MVP Baseball 2005 includes a variety of soundtrack titles. Though they may not be your favorite kinds of music, it adds some entertainment to the game. If you don't want to listen to the music, MUTE your Television, and crank up your CD or MP3 player and listen to whatever you have on that. You'll find lyrics to the soundtrack below.

There will always be something there As long as one of us goes on living Let it dive, let it die Let it fade out of sight Let it drag us down, let it come between you and I What's done is done, no reason to apologize Let it dive, let it die, let it fade Credit: http://www.trailofdead.org --------------------------------------------------- "Tessie" --------------------------------------------------- Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry Tessie is the tune they always sung Tessie echoed April through October nights After serenading Stahl, Dinneen and Young Tessie is a maiden with a sparkling eye Tessie is a maiden with a love She doesn't know the meaning of her sight She's got a comment full of love And sometimes when the game is on the line Tessie always carried them away Up the road from third base to Huntington The boys will always sing and sway Two!
