MVP Baseball Series
''MVP Baseball'' was a baseball game series published by EA Sports, running from 2003 to 2007 with five games produced. In 2003, ''MVP'' became the official successor to EA's long-running ''Triple Play Baseball'' series, and it simulated Major League Baseball from 2003 to 2005.

In response, EA made NCAA college baseball games in 2006 and 2007, but discontinued the series in 2008 because of poor sales. History ''MVP Baseball 2003'' ''MVP Baseball 2003'' was released in 2003 as the successor to EA's ''Triple Play'' games, though it bore little more than a graphical similarity to its predecessors, which had been heavily maligned by critics in the series' final years.

Madden NFL 2003
''Madden NFL 2003'' is an American football simulation video game based on the NFL that was developed by EA Tiburon and Budcat Creations and published by EA Sports. The 14th installment of the ''Madden NFL series'', the game features former St. Louis Rams running back Marshall Faulk on the cover.

''Triple Play'' is a series of video games based on Major League Baseball, published by EA Sports until their replacement by the ''MVP Baseball'' in 2003. ''GameSpot'' stated that other simulations (for example, Sega's version) were superior to ''Triple Play'', while ''GamePro'' greeted it as "the best baseball simulation so far". ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' editors named ''Triple Play Gold Edition'' a runner-up for Genesis Game of the Year (behind ''Vectorman 2''). Games All of the games contained the rosters and schedules of the beginning of the season of the year before the one described in the name except for ''Triple Play 2002''. For example, ''Triple Play 2001'' contained the rosters and schedules of the 2000 season, and ''Triple Play Baseball'' (without a year) contained the rosters and schedules for 2001. This is a result of the tradition of listing the year the series ends in, basketball, football and hockey ending in a different year from when they started. Baseball ...
