baseball has got to be the call. seems like only a few titles matter anymore. all-star, espn and mvp. not sure what will be best this year. never played all-star. espn is great. mvp might actually be good this year (used to be triple play and it sucked). but they've made improvements. in a pinch go with espn.

If you're interested at all in soccer get Winning Eleven 7. It's amazing and owns FIFA in every way except that the team names are a little different because they don't have the liscence.

winning 11 is indeed fantastic. i played the last one (6?) for a while good stuff. as far as the baseball, those are probably good directions to lean in. what do ea and espn bring to the table gamewise?

MVP (ea) added minor leagues this year and added charging the mound and some other stuff that espn had last year. ESPN has done a lot to integrate the feel of the network broadcasts by getting Ravech and miller. and they've added some other stuff that should make it more real. once again i think mvp is catching up but too long to go to catch espn would be my take.
