It's not fair, is it? It's sad to see that this year's MVP Baseball is the last. I love MVP 2005.

Anyway, anyone else think it's kind of not fair for 2K to get exclusive rights to Major League Baseball? Or for EA to have the NFL monopolized? Let me know.

[edit] Merge MVP Baseball 2005

There is quite a lot of overlap between these two articles. They should be merged. Thoughts?

No and here are my reasons: 1) While the existing MVP '05 page references criticism of focus on the red sox, that team did break the curse of the bambino (and only after 86 years, a serendipitious reference to the '86 team, but i digress) and did so in spectacular stadium, sealing the deal in yankee stadium, no less. they deserve their props, and because the game designers were smart enough to weave that in they created something unique.

2) with MLB electing to grant exclusive rights to one company, they have altered the MVP line, and the '06 college game is something else, and if anything the MVP thread should be split into pro + college versions.

3) i think that MLB's decision also could be used to call into question their anti-trust status, that it was an abuse of monopoly power and it hurts the US economy by eliminating competion in the market, uniquely impacting US jobs/companies because these are high-tech, high-skilled jobs that cannot be easily outsourced--can you really outsource the nuances of a baseball game to to programmers in Inida or the Ukraine? ≈Marcus pmi 01:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• • None of those reasons are relevant to this discussion at all. Franklin Bynum 01:50, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose- It deserves its own page. We are trying to spread knowledge not reduce it. Julz the wizkid
  • We are not reducing any of the information, just putting it all in the proper place. Franklin Bynum 01:50, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
