Description

"Roger Clemens' MVP Baseball" is a baseball video game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1991. Developed by Sculptured Software and published by LJN, the game features one of the era's most prominent baseball pitchers, Roger Clemens, who lends his name and likeness to the title. The game offers players a chance to engage in America’s favorite pastime with varying modes of play, including single games and a full season mode, which attempts to simulate the experience of professional baseball. Players can choose from all 26 MLB teams available at the time, though the game does not include real player names due to the lack of an MLBPA license.

The gameplay in "Roger Clemens' MVP Baseball" is noted for its attempt to incorporate realistic baseball physics and mechanics. Pitching is particularly detailed, allowing players to choose from different types of pitches, each controlled by Roger Clemens’ prowess on the mound. The view switches between a unique dynamic camera angle that follows the ball from pitch to hit, and a standard field view for plays, which was innovative at the time. This game was part of a series of sports titles endorsed by famed athletes during the late 80s and early 90s, aiming to capitalize on their popularity. Despite mixed reviews regarding its game mechanics and difficulty, the game remains a nostalgic piece for many vintage game collectors and baseball enthusiasts.
