In response to Bryan's (and many other people's) question, Barry Bonds isn't in this game because he's not a member of the MLBPA. Because EA (and every other video game publisher) is required to use the rosters from the MLPBA, it is illegal to put Bonds in this or any other video game. You'll notice that a few other lesser known players (also not in the MLBPA) are missing from the game too. IT'S NOT JUST MVP 2005; Barry Bonds won't be found in any other baseball game. About the actual game, I loved MVP 2004 and I plan on buying 2005 and expect the same great graphics, features, and overall gameplay quality. Hope I was able to help!
