Baseball Simulation Ships Nationwide.

simulation of America’s pastime from Electronic Arts, which ships today to retailers
nationwide under the EA SPORTS® brand. With the MVP Baseball franchise’s
second outing, hailed a “landmark videogame baseball achievement”
by Official Xbox Magazine, opening day has just moved to March.

MVP Baseball 2004, PlayStation Magazine’s latest Game of the Month, is packed
with gameplay innovations and improvements that put users in control at the
plate, in the field, and on the base paths like never before. The EA SPORTS
Pure Swing System offers unique swing types and signature cuts, a model that
Electronic Gaming Monthly says “revolutionizes the art of videogame batting.”
The Big Play Control allows for diving and sliding catches, user-controlled
slides, and home plate collisions — all with a touch of the right analog stick.
