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.
