I can't wait. It's out this week...

gmal2003

For the 360 too? I might check it out although I prefer MLB as I am familiar with the players. This is not like NCAA basketball or football where I know the players. I still might check it out though.

alfonsosoriano

I think the 360 version comes out on a later date. The dynasty mode looks really good.

JimmySRU

yeah ill be buying this too

rocketsauce

definately buying this if it comes on 360. I go to Omaha every year for the College world series. MVP was the best MLB game ever made and i was devasted when they couldn't make it anymore. with the gameplay intact, i don't care that it's college, it will still be the best baseball game out there hands down.

Isn't it a little early to crown MVP the champ this year? If MLB 2006 improves on the freeze mistake from last year, it should be the champ. MLB 2k6 is supposed to be good as well.

MVP was fun last year, that's for sure. But you take away the freeze problems in MLB 2006 and it's the winner in my opinion.

I thought this wasn't even announced for the 360. I doubt it will be compatible too....too many glitches with BC, so I avoid it.

I may just have to get MLB 2K6 for the 360

I rented Sony's 2006 game last year, didn't have any freeze problems, and didn't enjoy it nearly as much as MVP. It had some nice options/features, but gameplay wasn't all too great. MVP owns all.

DJ_Longfellow

Wow, you rented 2K6 last year...amazing

I really enjoyed MVP last year, but with no 360 game.....I'm out. If the college game was released for it, I MIGHT get it...but not for $60

mr.snowmizer

To clarify, he said Sony's MLB was the one in the running for best baseball which suffered from the freezing problem.

Take 2 must know from last year's sales, reviews, and word of mouth that they need to step it up this year. For some reason, Visual Concepts has yet to take a definitive step forward in this sport in recent years. You know you're floundering in mediocrity when 989 comes in and blows you away.

Here's hoping MLB 2k6 finally establishes the same type of quality that can be found in their other sports games.

I meant Sony's game, not the shitty 2k series. My fault. >

nickdawgy

No he rented Sony's game, MLB 2006 not MLB 2k6 which is 2K sports' game this year (last year was 2k5).

alfonsosoriano

No, the 2k series blows. Hard. Talk about stupid looking player models and swinging.

DJ_Longfellow

Yes, that was SARCASM...since 2K6 was not out yet.

I though 2K5 was ok, but MVP was much better. The year before I enjoyed the 2K series (2K4 or World Series...or whatever it was called)

I can only get 2K6 this year since I have a 360.

Demontooth

I liked MVP for the mini games and 2K5 for the baseball game.

I read in PSM that the fielding controls are pretty bad on 2K^ and you need to revert to classic mode to make it playable. Also batting is a back-and-forth motion al la Tiger Woods.

MVP had some of the most realistic play ever.

nickdawgy

No, really I promise it doesn't. They also have better looking graphics then MVP and MLB.

nickdawgy

Thought you were SERIOUS, but oh well.

Yes, MVP was alot better then 2k5.

nickdawgy

Not if you consider hitting a shit load of homers, and throwing a no hitter once a month realistic.

dvd182

I'm not a real big fan of MVP's in game presentation. The ESPN game last year was great with all the various replays and overlays. MVP plays slightly better, though.

Mordred

I hope Buckethead is on the soundtrack.

MFRONE

EA has the ESPN presentation license and is using it for NCAA Baseball.

DJ_Longfellow

So, anyone get it yet? Just curious...not that I can get it because it's NOT BC w/360
