Credit: Metalhead Software The MVP Baseball series is one of the most beloved sports gaming franchises of all time. Chances are, it’s not coming back–at least not anytime soon–but thanks to EA’s purchase of Metalhead Software and the publishing rights for the Super Mega Baseball series, EA is returning to the virtual diamond.

I’m told by someone with knowledge of the situation, EA approached SDS about a buyout, but that was turned down. MLB “didn’t want another simulation baseball game competing with The Show for sales,” but has been open to licensing arcade titles.
