Customer Reviews of XB MVP 06: NCAA Baseball

For the Baseball Purist
The game lacks the flare and fireworks and perpetuity of HR's from the old MLB Triple Play series, but is clearly the best baseball game I've ever played. Having played baseball my whole life, the realism in this game is the closest to the real game I've ever seen. Hitting is all about timing and recognizing the pitch as quickly as possible (it's brutal on MVP level). If you don't you'll be out in front of chaneups pulling weak grounders or late on fastballs blowing by you. Game play and TV presentation are just fantastic...erratic throws, pitches in the dirt blocked by the catcher and even errant outfield throws hitting the pitchers mound and bouncing over the catcher's head! Mike Patrick commentary is dry but competent, but overall the presentation is top notch. A must buy for the baseball purist seeking only the realism of the game, not the theatrics of constant HR's and fireworks, etc that is too typical in all prior games.

Good Game
This NCAA College Baseball is a good game if you are a fan of the now dead MVP series this is the last baseball game to play unfortunatly now all baseball games suck there is nothing like the MVP series there are some good additions to the college game like adding your own music to the game however the thing only thing I Disliked about the game was that you could not make a user record and keep track of your career wins and win% etc. this is a must for me in any game otherwise I dont think there is a real point of playing unless you are playing a season for muliple years none the less still a good game

A quality product
NCAA MVP Baseball 2006 is a great introduction to college baseball for video game systems. The gameplay can be a difficult to learn, but it is completely customizable if you're continually having trouble. For instance, the game settings to help you make contact and hit for power can be changed to make the game more or less difficult. There are also some 'improvements' to the gameplay, such as using the analog stick for throwing and hitting, though these are cumbersome to learn and don't always work nicely. <

>However, there are 19 gorgeously realistic stadiums and several different modes to use. Create a ballpark finally allows you to edit the fences, though this is a slightly overrated feature - and of course you can edit the names of the players from last year's rosters. (Most of the juniors or seniors on the teams now have a year of professional experience under their belt, which is a slight problem.) Dynasty mode is not bad, though not very deep - it focuses mostly on playing the games, but Baseball America makes a cool entrance and has a lot of awards and statistics for your use. The recruiting could use some improvement, but that's for future versions - and if worse comes to worse, you can create superstars at any point in the dynasty using the create-a-player feature. In any case, the College World Series is one of the most cutthroat sporting events and getting there and playing under pressure is one of the most fun gaming experiences I've had in a long time. <

>If you're not a college baseball fan at all, or if you care about the roster problems, this probably isn't for you. Also, there are only fourteen conferences represented, so check the team list before you buy if you're a fan of one of a school in one of the more obscure college conferences so you don't squander 30 bucks and can't play with your team of choice.
