MVP Baseball 2005 Codes and Unlockables (PC)
Back to the third base for an MVP play
MVP Baseball 2005 is a baseball video game developed and published by Electronic Arts. It is regarded by many to be the best baseball video game of all times. It features Boston Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez on its game cover. It is available for the PlayStation 2, the Xbox, GameCube, the PlayStation Portable and the PC. The main new feature in the 2005 game is the "Hitter's Eye" system, which turns the baseball different colors in the pitcher's hand (remains white for fastball, turns red for breaking pitches, green for off-speed pitches, orange for knuckleballs, etc.) and leaves a trail as the ball flies through the air toward the plate to aid in hitting. Game developers said that it had been too difficult in previous versions. The game boasts full Major League Baseball, Minor League Baseball and Major League Baseball Players Association licenses. It was also widely regarded to have the best graphics and gameplay of any other baseball video game on the market as of 2005. As with previous versions of the game, the announcers are Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow, real life announcers for the San Francisco Giants.CodesBig batGo to the "create a player menu" and put the name Isaiah, Keegan, or Jacob Paterson and they will have a big bat that will hit homers or line drives.Jacob Paterson - Player with huge bat Isaiah Paterson - Player with huge bat Keegan Paterson - Player with huge bat Create a Player UnlockablesThese codes are entered as the first and last name when you create a player.
