Since my MVP Baseball video did so well time to disappoint y’all with a less successful sequel. EA Sports lost the ability to make MLB games, so they had to improvise and try to recreate the magic…. And MVP NCAA Baseball 2006 was born.
Loved this game but as someone who actually cares about their schools baseball team I was always disappointed that the game didn’t have the real stadiums
Mike Patrick is like the mvp games in that we don’t see him anymore yet he was so good. I used to love when he did Monday (Sunday?) night nfl games. Such a good voice and authenticity. Great vid..I still play MVP
I remember getting this game a few years ago due to my MVP baseball itch and I remember loving this game. Also hell yeah the soundtrack is better than MVP baseball. :D I remember jamming out to "Get Comfortable", "Die Romantic" and "Paper Cliché" and then running up the scoreboard like a pinball machine because those songs got me in the zone. *sigh* Good times. (Great review, BTW. ;D👌)
Absolutely loved this game. As a kid my only gripe was having a Longhorn on the cover, #BoomerSooner. But you're right about the newer control mechanics. The Create-A-Stadium was so awesome I didn't even really notice at the time that there weren't that many real stadiums, but it would've been sweet to have both options if they'd have gone all out. I must have made 15 + crazy stadiums. I stuck with MVP 05 & this for years until one of my friends got me to try MLB2k9. I've had fun with 2k9, 2k11, & currently with 2k13 the last true Baseball Xbox title. But I'm looking forward to replacing my broken original Xbox one day for MVP 05 & MVP NCAA 06 among others. The A.I.' Manager's decisions on 2k SuperSim are asnine sometimes. I miss the Manager Mode with the MVP Series that made it really easy to completely control your team and still quickly sim through days and weeks at a time.
Hey, what it do, Kofie?! 😏 Just came across your channel while looking through sports game vids. I have this game and I'll be honest, lol I only played it on 3 occasions. I got it cheap years ago (like 10 years ago! 😳) The lack of star power does hurt this...a lot! I didn't have the time or patience to really give this game a go. I paid under $5 for it. I may give a try again soon. I enjoyed your video and you have a cool style on how you do your reviews. Keep it up man! 😎As far as game suggestions, if you keeping things retro, why not Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain, NCAA Basketball 2k7/8, NFL Street & NBA Street series? Hell, why not Fire Pro Wrestling Returns? Or even Def Jam fighting games?
I'm a UK fan of the Yankees, decided to purchase MLB The Show 09, 10 and 11 since I heard they were probably the best they could be in the series. Have you got thoughts on MLB the Show?
