EA Sports has had success in the past with baseball video games. The popular MVP Baseball series ran from 1995 to 2005. The MLB version of this series ended when Take-Two Interactive signed an exclusive licensing deal with MLB as a response to EA Sports doing the same with the NFL. This deal allowed Take-Two to be the only developer outside of console manufacturers Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo to make MLB licensed video games. EA Sports made a couple of college baseball games under the MVP Baseball name, with the last one coming out in 2007.

MLB Tap Sports Baseball 2023 will release this month on iOS and Android. You can pre-register for the app now on EA Sports’ website.
