MVP 2007 (NCAA Baseball)
Is anyone picking this up? I haven't bought a baseball game in a couple of years since the 2K series seems to continually disappoint. I know a lot of people avoid MVP since it's not MLB, but after reading a strong review I decided to order it. I think it's only being released on PS2. Anyone have it yet? I doubt if mine will arrive until after the weekend.

I think I may rent it.....I alway loved the MVP series (best baseball games to date). I never played NCAA 06 though, so I'm wondering if this new version is better than 06. I can get 06 for around $10 while 07 is $30.
I'll be playing on a PS3, since I haven't owned a PS2 since FFX was released.

Did they add more schools this time out? The only reason that I never picked up 06 is because my beloved Richmond Spiders weren't included. If they are on it, I'm there.

I really enjoyed 2006. The MLB players weren't missed. Because of the differences in game play and recruiting angle, NCAA was the first baseball game since, I dunno, maybe Baseball Stars, that lasted longer than a month in my play rotation.

I rented this as I had free rentals to use. I NEVER play MVP 06, but I thought this was ok. I played it on my PS3 and graphically it seemed decent, although there was slowdown on many instances...which was rather annoying.
Still a fun game, but not sure if I'll actually buy it. Many say it's basically the same game and the new pitching thing is kinda lame.

You're probably right about it being essentially the same as last year's version. EA isn't exactly known for changing their sports franchises much from year to year, and that's probably even more true for a title like this with limited appeal.

This is a definite buy for me now. Hopefully, it'll go on sale sometime, as my usual ceiling on game purchases is $20. I guess it could be worse than costing $30, though.
