The object
The object
Randy Johnson and Miguel Tejada were the cover players. The 2003 game is the last game that uses a points system for player's salary; starting with the 2004 game an actual dollar amount is used for salaries. The 2003 game does not penalize a user for releasing a player during the season in franchise mode, whereas the 2004 and 2005 games invoke a salary penalty for releasing a player under contract.

Reception
The game received "favorable" reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

High Heat is a much better playing ballgame, but MVP will appeal to baseball fans intrigued by its individuality."
