MVP Baseball 2005

MVP Baseball 2005 is a 2005 baseball video game developed by EA Canada and published by EA Sports. It features Boston Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez on its cover. It is considered by many to be the best baseball video game of all time, and possibly the best sports video game of all time.

The game used full Major League Baseball, Minor League Baseball, and Major League Baseball Players Association licenses. Like the previous installments, the game includes real-life announcers Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow, who are best known for their roles as the announcers for the San Francisco Giants.

It was published for PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and Windows, along with a condensed version for the PlayStation Portable. It was the final installment in the MVP Baseball series, which was itself the successor to the Triple Play series. EA Sports lost the rights to produce an MLB video game after Take Two Interactive signed an exclusive deal with MLB for its MLB 2K series. EA Sports pivoted to producing a college baseball series called MVP: NCAA Baseball which had very similar gameplay and graphics but was discontinued after the 2007 edition. Online modding communities have produced versions of the game with updated rosters, stadiums, and graphics.
