OS Roundtable: Most Enjoyable Baseball Game of All-Time
This week on the Operation Sports Roundtable, our esteemed staffers discuss the most enjoyable baseball game of all time and then a fight over High Heat Baseball breaks out! Be sure to check out all the banter from TJ Cutini, Matt Gagnon, Chris Sanner, Dave Branda and more! Be sure to add your very own thoughts to the subject!
"With the latest baseball titles out on the market, it's a great time to reflect on baseball games of year's past. What old baseball title did you enjoy playing the most?"

Havent read the article, but MLB 08, its passes MVP 05. its MVP 05 next gen, MVP 05 got a little too much love dont get me wrong it was a very solid solid game, classic even but not the greatest not anymore...
2k5 was a decent shot as well, first game with specific custom soundtracks all new everything at the time. major blow to that game was multiplayer was weak but owell. it was also one of the first games i can remember that had HOF (in the skybox) that made me play ALOT of seasons in franchise personally. as for old school Ken Griffey number 1 for SNES was great for its time. Bigs a solid effort last year, seems like it could deliver an awesome arcade experience in future installments.
Best HR Derby was in Triple play 2001 where u were placed in odd enviroments ie Construction site, Living RoomComment

Re: OS Roundtable: Most Enjoyable Baseball Game of All-Time
It is important to distinguish the High Heat games. High Heat 2001 and 2002, specifically on the PC, post patches, and with all of the user mods and tune file adjustments was a brilliant, and highly influencial baseball game on par with games like Earl Weaver Baseball and FPS: Baseball. High Heat on the console just isn't the same. Not even close, really; also if you play High Heat even on the PC without the patches and tune adjustements it's just another game...and a buggy one at that. You really needed the extra stuff for it to shine.Co-Founder - No High Scores

Bases Loaded 2 was one of the more fun games I've played. It had a Biorythym system that would tell you what players were hot and cold. I liked Bases Loaded 2 better than 3. Good article, honestly, if High Heat was that great of a game then a huge population would still be playing it, like MVP 2005. I remember playing one of the High Heats on PS1, it was a great game, but it was nothing earth shattering.PSN:BrrbisBrrComment

World Series Baseball 95 on the Genesis. It introduced me to my favorite type of hitting in which you had to use a cursor. It was the first baseball game I have seen to accurately replicate each and every teams stadium.
It was also the first game that I played that had Classic Home Run Derby with like the Black and White show did. With classic players to boot with Ruth, Aaron, Mays and the like.
I played World Series baseball for 2-3 seasons (started college couldn't afford a new one).Comment

Glad to see Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball get some love. I was a beast with Apollo Creed."Maybe I can't win. But to beat me, he's going to have to kill me. And to kill me, he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me. And to do that, he's got to be willing to die himself. I don't know if he's ready to do that."Comment

Tony Larussa 96 for PC is the one game I probably have played more than any other baseball game. A close 2nd would be Micro League Baseball.My Fan Page http://theusualgamer.net/MyFanPage_Heelfan71.aspx
