“My understanding is that as a result of the player strike, Barry Bonds was not part of the MLB Players Association,” Randall told me. He joined the MVP 2003 team in the fall of 2002. While there, he finished his master’s degree the following April. Randall joined EA Canada in December of 2001. Who was Anthony Friese exactly? How did the developers come up with the names and likenesses of these fictional replacement players? Were the developers just having fun mixing the races of players who should’ve been in the game?Īccording to Dee Jay Randall, who worked on the programming team for all three installments of the MVP franchise, “I don’t know.” The other guy played first base for the Boston Red Sox, was black, and sported blond hair way before Kanye West did (and way after Wesley Snipes did in Demolition Man).
But what about the other created guy in MVP Baseball that was based on a real player? Dowd’s in-game power has since become legendary. Players who remember the game will recall the built-in cheat that was Jon Dowd for the San Francisco Giants–an avatar for Barry Bonds, who was not part of the MLB Players Association’s licensing agreement, and whose likeness, therefore, could not be replicated in a video game. MVP Baseball 2005 is widely considered to be one of the best baseball video games of all time. Kevin Millar, also known as Anthony Friese, will forever be connected to the 1994 strike and MVP Baseball 2005.
