MLB 2K5 & MVP 2005 in a ratings deadlock

A tie?  There's no such thing as a tie in baseball—except for the 2002 All-Star Game, of course.  But low and behold, 2K5 and MVP are both averaging an 86 on Metacritic.  Although they're usually inconsistent, the user ratings tell a different tale.  If we average the PS2 and Xbox scores together, 2K5 holds a suspiciously low 5.8, while MVP is at 7.85.  Interestingly enough, on the Xbox, 2K5 beat out MVP by 6-tenths of a point in the user ratings, while on PS2, MVP scored 4.7 points higher.  Hmmm...
