Balk!

Yup that's kinda sad. But i guess no baseball game has ever had it. Every baseball game i have ever played never had it so why should MVP '05 have it.

All-Star Baseball used to have balks. They had the nifty lefty pickoff move where you could start your pitch and then attempt a pickoff during the delivery. If you did it too late, it was a balk.

I miss that game. Best franchise mode ever.

HH had them too, although they were randomized (and only adjustable through the PC tunefile).

Wrong!!!

Highheat 2004 has got a balk call!!!

Notice i said "Every baseball game i have ever played never had it " and i never played High Heat Baseball. Only played the Ken Griffey Jr N64 Games, and MLB 2001, Triple Play 2001 and All Star Baseball 2000-2001 and that was it. And then MVP Baseball 2003-2005.

High Heat 2004 had one, but I think that it was just random. I remember seeing it called but not that often (even after playing several seasons -about 5- in a career).

Am already in mid September in MVP2005 have not seen one balk yet.

Also, I am kinda disappointed that MVP 2005 does not track holds.

That was one thing that High Heat did very well, tracking peripheral stats.

Well, I remember that "Baseball" for the Sega Master System had balks...

but they only happened if you attempted a pickoff on a base that wasn't occupied...

e.g. If there was a runner on first and you tried a pickoff at second, you got called for a balk.

But I haven't played any game since that had balks...

then again, I've been a slave to EA since Triple Play for the Genesis...

1:A balk in Highheat does not look like a real balk...thats kind of random. The balk looked artificial made...

2: You are right man: Holds are a great statistic; I dont understand, why they have not Holds in MVP 2005, belongs to the stats-game.

Only played the Ken Griffey Jr <a href="n64%20games" onmouseover="window.status='N64 Games'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">N64 Games</a>, and MLB 2001, Triple Play 2001 and All Star Baseball 2000-2001 and that was it. And then MVP Baseball 2003-2005.

Actually, The old Ken Griffey games did have balks. I remember playing Ken Griffey Jr.'s Slugfest back in the day....
