The pursuit to becoming the five-tool player begins with mastering the art of hitting in MVP Baseball 2004.
Key Features

  • EA SPORTS™ Pure Swing System: Putting the barrel of a bat on a baseball in flight may be the hardest task in sports. Now, an all-new hitting model rewards the perfect swing and lets skilled users put the best the pitcher has to offer into play to generate offense.
  • Big Play Control: MVP's all-new Big Play Control brings complete user control to the diamond. Control diving and sliding catches, scale the wall to rob an opponent of a home run, and user-controlled slides, double-play break-ups, and collisions at home plate change the way the game is played.
  • Control the Front Office: Build the ultimate franchise with an incredibly deep Dynasty Mode. Unique player personality models force you to establish effective team chemistry while building a team through your farm system, negotiating tough contract demands, and motivating your club with dynamic team goals and rewards that truly tests your skills in the front office.
  • Manager Mode: Manager Mode allows you to control the game from the dugout using a set of strategic per-at-bat decisions. When your team is at the plate you can call the steal, have your batter lay down the sac bunt, or try to go deep. Your pitchers can go after the hitter, pitch around him, or get conservative and call the intentional walk. The decisions are all yours.
  • Cooperstown Collection: No game takes you back to a sport's roots like MVP Baseball 2004. Featuring legendary players outfitted in their authentic retro jerseys, greats like Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, and Ty Cobb take to the field at classic stadiums of yesterday. Unique era specific coloring and texturing heightens the experience.
  • Play In The Minors: For the first time ever, play with minor league clubs from Class AA and Class AAA. Now featuring 60 farm teams, MVP Baseball 2004 lets you take to the field with the Durham Bulls, Toledo Mud Hens, and many more.
  • Pick Your Park: With all-new crowd chants, the addition of classic stadiums, and new game-time lighting, MVP Baseball 2004 puts you in the best seat in the house. Sit back and enjoy the new bat cracks, glove pops, player chatter, vendors, hecklers, collisions and umpire calls.
  • EA SPORTS Nation*: For the first time ever, play MVP Baseball 2004 against opponents from anywhere in the country (*only available on the PlayStation 2 console). An online lobby area allows gamers to meet, greet, chat, set up tournaments, download roster updates, and play MVP Baseball 2004 head to head.
  • My MVP: Personalize the game's front end, show off your own custom trophy room, and build your resume with EA SPORTS™ Bio.
